Self explanatory - the set overall is great and makes the horrible AAR just OK.
However playing with a Warlock is nerve wrecking especially against mobs with some Chaos res.
Especially compare with what the set gives to Inquisitor mastery however no Occultist support…
We all thought FG will make (chaos) Warlocks great again, but it kinda didn’t. We had promised chaos RR for occultist, but, effectively, it didn’t happen. We did get a set and an amulet with chaos RR to CoF, but chaos AAR still doesn’t exist because of the lack of RR.
I still believe, though, that Crate wanted us to be hyped to then be disappointed to then make us happy with some buffs to chaos Warlocks, so who knows what is gonna happen. I bet they’re tricking us in a good way.
It’s inconsistent that Night’s Chill and Spectral Wrath give RR for the primary damage types of their masteries (i.e. pierce, cold, poison RR for Night’s Chill and vitality, aether RR for Spectral Wrath), but CoF doesn’t RR chaos, a primary damage type for Occultist.
Would also be in favor of removing chaos RR from Inquisitor death sentence, since this makes little sense thematically.
I agree mostly with you here mate. I can’t speak for non-transmuted AAR, but transmuted AAR is so clearly whacked (especially on the 'lock) that it’s near unsalvagable. At this point all I want is for chaos casters to have more itemization, and this is a great way to go about it.
I think the only 2 damage types it’s impossible to create a good spam caster for is chaos and pierce.
I actually want them to redesign Clairvoyant Set to be chaos oriented. After gutting CDR binders looks like this set makes little sense to support aether. While I showed that set still works even after nerf it looks like a bad joke compare to spam binders…
So please just give us good set for some button mashing
