18% RtA attack on a cooldown skill for a weapon without any attack speed roll. Are we back to 2019?
Dreeg’s Evil eye has 40% RtA on an areal ranged spam skill and it was still pretty bad (at least before this PT, haven’t tried it in 1.3 yet).
This needs to be doubled at a minimum for ABB to be even worth pressing on a retal build. The fire conduit that will enable RtA spam spoils cold coversion, WD% and tdm, and obviously has no retal, so I don’t expect anything over the top there either. But wil report if it will be.
I get that it’s frustrating not to see the full picture (and providing context and explanation for every change is unfortunately going to take way too much time out of the day), and to a degree it makes your feedback more difficult, but the alternative was to add the new mods as an exclusive FoA bonus, and that seemed unnecessary.
That looks interesting but to be fair 22% rta on a cooldown skill is still very low unless you want people to explicitly use spam amulet with this. About that chance to reduce Judgment cooldown mod, not sure, will more frequent Judgment casts help ABB spam? I am sure someone will test it in the closed FoA testing.
Agree, not a great choice, especially compared to Hellborne. Its mods to Grenado and Righteous Fervor are huge and they’re your core damage skills. I don’t think Blade Burst can compete, even with a 0cd conduit. I prefer to add RTA to Phantasmal Blades lol.
But yes, even with this cd reduction mechanic the weapon is weak for Dervish. As Kingred already said, even with 0 cd 25% RtA is not much to show for.
It’s like… you have a supplemental ABB skill for Judgment that is also gonna be supplemental for… but there’s nothing else. Judgment for this Dervish with these values is good CC on a decent cooldown and HoW ticks to help out with AoE a little bit. The judgment mode brings total 60% or RtA dealt via HoW to 85% total RtA with the mode, over 3 seconds. And then you have your ABB swings for 22% RtA every 1.4 sec.
This is a very low solo RtA output for an acid build. It will fight acid resistant casters (and there’s a lot of them) for a long time. Stacks or not, this is just very lackluster.
If it was spam RtA ABB with some 25% and the Judgment AoE nuke, we have a build to be excited about. When FoA releases, any of the two can be toned down to account for cd reduction mechanic.
There is a Haunted Steel otherwise it wouldn’t be able to survive the boss rooms. I just don’t like to add it on Grimtools (when I have Blood of Dreeg or Penumatic Burst or so on).
