Does look fair. Especially with some retal two-handers getting individual buffs.
So devotion is NOT getting any %Electrocute damage on its nodes but the proc’s Electrocute is getting increased? Doesn’t make any sense and will help absolutely noone.
That’s a very good change. Although it’s a bit weird that both Yugol and Abomination have dr on their procs now. I guess it might help builds that take Abomination but skip Yugol, but that’s a very specific/niche segment of builds to buff.
Imo adding dr proc to Affliction would actually help more builds that need it: that includes Poison builds, Vitality Decay builds and Retaliation builds that usually resort to dollar store dr means.
Those three builds that use this devotion will be happy but otherwise this super expensive devotion remains unappealing. Lack of dot and super high price are the reasons for that.
In-line with global adtch buffs. Although I fear that those global buffs will still disproportionally favour Vitality builds.
Power creepy buff but Bleeding builds and Pierce builds will be pretty happy with it.
it’s up 2 from 24% “we” would have preferred better activation uptime etc etc/26% dr doesn’t make it that much more attractive if overall it’s still expensive dmg tradeoff defence or less reliable in some fights
personally i don’t understand the leech changes, more so since the original change was to make leech less strong, so this seems like a global “fix” that will impact a ton of stuff and not just them struggling melees?
While ofc highly speculative, i ponder if we’re making general leech too strong “again” and or a return to some builds being able to just coast on a single leech devo/Twin Fangs GG
I have ONE build using Light of Empyrion (Virtue Set Shieldbreaker) and it’s 90% for thematic reason. I went Solemn Watcher > Shieldmaiden > Light of Empyrion because I wanted to play a fire “paladin”.
And the only good thing I can find is the +20% health. Maybe make the proc an aura/ground AoE (with reduced damage of course) ?
I think we got some buffs to it last time and I forgot about it again. I am sure it has bit more niche use now. But there weren’t any changes to it this test patch, were there?
Don’t worry I remember Tree of Life very well. And I find Healing Rain super awkward to use. Aside from that I find the constellation as a whole is doing its job.
Also the pet stuff on LoE was not really serious. A serious idea would be a character buff or another enemy debuff since we’re talking about a “God” banishing darkness. Maybe a slowing effect ?
