Daega's Oath

[Strills]

What about people who want to use Possession as a sentinel? It may not have +skill from the set but % damage absorb may be more attractive to some people. For the sake of supporting alternative choice it support diversity and so it is good.

I don’t know the math on cdr value for survival but if you take max path of the three you kinda want ascension, resilience and other devotion skill ghoul (or possibly behemoth after the buff it will get) in order for it to result in defensive value similar or better than possession. That kind of skill point investment, as well as wanting DEE might end up being costly.

More or less this. The set might have bonuses for Occultist+Oathkeeper but it doesn’t mean you can’t use it on other class combinations like Occultist+Demolitionist. Those combos would appreciate the 100% conversion.

It’s a fair point that I generally agree with, but in this case I just don’t see that build happening; there’s (as far as I know) no gear supporting acid BWC. Most epic sets are very narrow in scope (support a distinct build), which I feel is also true with Daega’s Oath: DEE + retaliation Sentinel. I guess my issue depends on whether the 3p 50% conversion is there instead of something else, or if it’s just a freebie for people who want to make a gimmicky build.

It’s by no means a big issue, and I wouldn’t mind seeing it staying the way it is, but it just looks awkward to me that a set that so strongly proposes the use of a skill (+8 is big) also has a 3p bonus that is wasted due to said skill bonus. It just looks plain weird.
