Cold Sabouters that got a bit wrecked by the phys res changes

  1. Cold Rimetongue Sabouter

It went from 33% physical resist to 11%. This build had to use that off-hand to have some semblance of Physical resist but also because there is no off-hand that supports Cold Rimetongue Sabouters. Getting good HP/DA is almost impossible on it. It basically relied on tanking one-two hits, going into Blast Shield and killing stuff before it kills you. Right now it’s not a reliable build anymore.

Suggestion - There needs to be an off-hand that supports this archetype. Crescent Moon could use a like a big flat hp mod to Phantasmal Armor.

  1. Cold Nex&Ortus Sabouter

Went from 46% physical resist to 23% physical resist. Gained around ~600 armor in total. Lost flat on rings. Gained ~7% weapon damage on Fire Strike but lost 5% tdm to it. Big net loss. Helmet alone lost 16% physical resist. Build also lost around ~1k hp from global hp nerfs.

It could definitely gain some compensation. While damage is still mostly stellar, tankiness dropped.

Suggestion: Namadea helmet needs more than just 400 armor. I suggest adding hp and DA to this archetype somewhere.

My N&O Sabo also lost arround 25% physres but gained more armor ~ 850 and it feels tankier than before. I did not test dps exctensivley yet but in SR 80-81 it felt great (as always). But Hp, i agree, got a bit to low for my taste so would just suggest just adding hp i think hp + da would be overkill.
