Well, title. I’ve checked some of the newest phys builds in Compendium and it seems like every end-game build uses it. I did a pretty devotions setup for my S&B warlord (don’t mind the tree and stuff, just star chart) but that heckin’ dagger just ruins it :mad:
Casters has a few constellations with RR for any type of damage (and elemental in the whole) but phys has just one? Isn’t that a bit dull, where’s diversity?
casters dont have to worry about armor, and assassin mark is from a tier-1 constenalltion. Also, physical damage builds are already the strongest in GD. Another source of physical rr would just be broken af
in addition, you need to crit to cast it
Except pets 
Bear in mind that the average physical resist of monster is 10%. Some nemesis have 25%, some bosses have 15%, 45%, but on average, taking all monsters in account (even trash and super bosses) it’d be around 10%. As far as I remember, end game bosses have over 35%, while any other regular boss has under 25. Now, if you consider their (let’s inflate a little bit) 3k armor, and that you generally hit for ~35k per hit (only an assumption), and having, let’s say, Oathkeeper with Celestial Presence at level 12 (35% RR) and Shattering smash at 10 (22 RR), you deal 35000 - 3000 = 32000 * (1+(0.32+0.35+0.22 - 0.25)) = 32000 * 1.64 = 52480 damage. Literally 64% increased damage, while other damage types would have 30% top (when you don’t squeeze the fuck out of RR). Physical damage is pretty damn OP right now, thanks to Oathkeeper.
Death Knights and Witch Blades could reach almost same amount of physical rr
Oathkeeper alone can reach it. 
OK alone 33 flat & -45%
Death Knight 40 flat & -35%
Oppressor 33 flat & -80%
Withcblade 40 flat & -35%
Sentinel 33 flat & -80%
So are Oppressors and Sentinels OP in the physical damage department?
Are apostates OP for aether damage:D ?On serious note I think is discussed multiple times,assassins’ mark is must for physical /pierce build and you should put it on often used skill with low CD.
yes
10/char
You should not take overcaps into account. Not everyone can push it to the max. But yeah, physical damage is fucked up right now.
Alrighty, I got it, Assassin’s Mark ftw. Thanks everyone!
Does everyone forget armor is a thing? :rolleyes:
You mean the stat I mentioned above that reduces less than 1% of your damage? No.
