Because Darkblaze set exist 
Good question incoming.
Anyone got a non-Darkblaze pyro build? 
:rolleyes:
Iām all for any QoL change to mines to be honest. And iām not even on the ādemo is so weakā train, i think 90% of all of demos problems is that mines are just as confortable to use as wearing leather pants without underwear at noon in the desert while shooting a joga instructions video.
Yeah, but that class build variation is still so narrow. Demolitionist really need a buff to support their synergy with others.
Well, purifier can work really good because demo and Inquisitor complement and supporting each other well like a good marriage. Same as spellbinder.
Whereas defiler is like a chaotic marriage where the husband and wife always arguing with each other while leaving their kids crying in the corner.

Itās a problem of all masteries that donāt match damage types well.
Reaper would had been a defiler-tier class if not Deathguard.
I Tried Will of fate SoC+Mines pyro. Oh, man, worst experience ever. T_T
BTW clairvoyant sorc was not that much behind a binder. I finished in 9minutes 170 with 4 buffs on regular basisā¦
PB Reapers are top tier. 
Both transmuted vitality PB and untransmuted Soulrend PB are really good. I prefer PB over Deathguard, but Deathguard is fine too, just squishier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8juxDobW6o
Grim Fate SoC/BWC Pyro was strong enough and somewhat fun until i decided life is too short to use mines ever again in their current form.
And i have a physical (Beronath) Mortar Trap Pyro and itās one of my favorite builds, altough it needs some irrational MIs to be viable.
Yeah, if only mines could reach old TQ traps level of QoL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPC5j6uUhEU T_T
Is that SO hard to make them move? Spining jet of chaotic fire? No fun allowed? T_T
Vit or vit decay? Donāt see why Reaper over Trickster if itās not decay.
Itās possible to add fun stuff but it wonāt inflict stackable rr. Havenāt seen how thermites work but bet they just have auras like Nights Chill which they activate if enemy is close.
I made a theodin reaper that is really good, farming crucible 151+ at 9 minutes, it will need 3 MI though.
Reaper also has good support on PB and it can also support cold.
The class is good, the naming is cool, item support is quite scarce though.

Aether reaper is more of an exotic build. If we count these then Defiler is fine cuz he could just convert FS to aether or vitality.
Not convinced on PB but I may be wrong. Thatās a skill I havenāt built around since vanilla.
Cold? Well, probably. Soulrend + transmuted BH I guess?
The main issue I personally feel that will make or break a build is good sources of resist reduction. So providing a set for a class which does this with one or as a 5 piece bonus is the way to go.
Also when I say good sources I donāt mean Thermite Mines or Wind Devil. They help yes but they can be annoying to use
Defiler Suggestion
Give the set
- 100% vitality to fire conversion or at least 50% vitality to fire conversion
- Spectral Wrath -25% fire resistance
- -10% life leech resistance to drain essence
- bonuses to fire strike and drain essence
My other suggestion is a pets on fire Defiler but feel that the current conversion on Will of the Crypt and Master of death for pets would be counter productive.
The alternative is to give the set
- flat fire damage bonuses to pets for Will of the Crypt and Master of Death
- a 5 piece bonus which allows you to summon an Archon
Here the Archon does everything (generates additional threat and an aura with -20% elemental resistance etc
Saboteur Suggestion
Not really sure where to go here as all my saboteur attempts tend to be point-starved so Iāll just post general options
- Give an item in the set with 100% bleeding damage converted to burn and bonuses to circle of slaughter.
- Give Nightās Chill -30% fire resistance
Outside of belgo, Blademaster also only has fringe builds (Tactician is better for pierce cadence, infil is better for cold), yet no oneās calling it weak.
Sorc at 9min while binder at 7min isnāt ānot much behindā. I also have similar numbers on IK sorc with devastation but itās far from the glory days which is what sorc fans want
Those are canāt be done afaik.
Only base skills can have modifiers which is Spectral Binding in Spectral Wrathās case, which is a buff.
And Drain Essence canāt have a stackable -rr mod either since itās not a debuff/donāt have a duration.
I think the only skills Necro has with the possibility of having a -rr mod are Ill Omen and Siphon Souls (and maybe Mark of Torment).
PS.:
Please donāt put mines and devils in the same category of ānegative QoLā, theyāre not even in the same league imho.
Save the Defiler!
Blademaster feels so well balanced, I really like the class overall actually.
Tactician is in another league though. High armor + damage reduction + seal make you easily facetanked 2xreaper. And I fully agree with Piercing cadence tactician, 2x reaver with warborn set is a beast.

Wonder if anyone can work something out from this. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/xZyqKxnZ
Edit.
I havenāt tried doing that in modding tools, but there is a chance that this is just a design decision and adding things to secondary effects and sub-skills is possible.
Harbingerās message set? Granted itās still a ranged Fire strike build and Iāve no idea how powerful it can be at end game but it seems like it has potential.
