So there are a lot of sets that can have skill bonuses to three skill masteries, because it makes sense. Like Krieg’s set gives bonuses to Soldiers, Necromancers and Arcanists, so you can wear it as Death Knight or as Battlemage (or as some kind of exotic fleshwarped striker Spellbinder even). Agrivix set is suitable for both sorcerers and spellbinders. Light Defender has bonuses for Elementalists and Vindicators. Etc.
So why does signature Nightblade’s pierce set does not give any bonuses to Inquisitor? I mean both Infiltrator and Blademaster are valid options for this set, why does Inquisitor’s tree not get any love. Surely, it’s already very strong for Belgo setup (more RR/crit/flat/defense than Soldier offers), so maybe something like weapon damage for Markovian Advantage would be too much for Infiltrators (Although I am thinking it could be something like "+flat pierce to Arcane Empowerement or + crit damage/armor to Deadly Aim). But like +2 to particular Inquisitor skill on each Belgothian item would totally make sense.
CAuse the game is already super biased towards inqiuis and infiltrators, and will be even more once you get the new Rime ammy
If it had infiltrator bonus , no one would even play BM, which is already kinda hard to make competitive:undecided: The only thing BM really has over infiltrator is MA with mod and more stable %OA
Not only inflitrator has better paper stats than Bm already (especially since you can’t do cunning in crucible without gimping yourself and entering a vicious circle where struggling with cunning becomes redundant), but in 0.6 infiltrator will have the Rime ammy.
This is a huge blow to BM again. The game is so far super biased towards anything inquis, infiltrator and Necro.
The main selling points in Soldier are:
Shield, Cadence and Blade Arc, WAr CRy. BM Belgo uses none, I even replaced War cry with Fighting spirit to remain in a good place damage wise.
Outside of MA, a bit more stable OA and AS there is nothing that BM gets from soldier that he couldn’t get from inquis and better. Even passives like Scars of Battle are useless now with % Absorb on components, a passive that made Soldier very good pre AoM and needs a redesign imo.
So case in point, if any infiltrator bouses were to ever be added to Belgo set, soldier needs to be reeeealy stepped up…
Would need dmg mods. I also suggested a -2/3 sec mod to fighting spirit to go well with rylok medal this making Fighting spirit at least slightly competitive with Deadly aim…nada so far.
Voted no - inqui is already too strong a class what with the coming DA nerf. Ignoring word of renewal (and that’s HUGE), arcane seal alone is going to rocket the inquisitor class as a top tier pick.
If anything, the belg slaughter relic should give more love to the NB &/or soldier class.
While handy, the -1 CD is quite meh for most, if not all, DW builds.
Luminari probably need someone who does all the dirty jobs, like assasinating higher ranked human targets, the dancing master
So not even few skill points to Inquisitor tree, is that the consensus between posters? I mean Krieg got Necro bonuses, making it so much stronger for Death Knights than for Battlemages, and Agrivix spellbinder is stronger than Agrivix sorcerer, but both sets offer bonuses for both mastery combos.
I voted for the second option myself, imo, few skill points wouldn’t hurt and wouldn’t make infiltrators any more op.
Said No. Just because there are no relics that can give “+1 level to all skills in” to 2 masteries at once, and only one giving +1 to all skills, and this Mog’s Ardor is very situative.
Belgothian Slaughter remains to Belgothian, the Nightblade.
UPD: missed up, I thought about Carnage, not Slaughter. Sorry guys. But still nope.
PRetty much defines new rimte set, just wait to get the ammy, that will be a huge advantage on infiltrators already , belgo or other builds, that is frankly making me a bit salty about it:p
I agree on krieg and said this since AoM Testing phase. This was the Dev’s choice…ImO set should give REckless power some % crit mod or something like the MI rifle
A new pierce relic would be nice too. Belgo is falling behind even on SS builds. From lore/gameplay perspective the proc does very little for the set itself. More warcry(i don’t even use it any more) and baldes of wrath i guess
Yeah, I agree, relic’s proc is more for Spellbreakers, does little to nothing for my infiltrator. Similiar relic but with some juicy proc would be much cooler.
Also, holy shit it costed me an arm and a leg to craft it, whenever I equip a new character I always go broke on mats and beg my steam friends who play Grim Dawn to sell me some of that Killrian’s Shattered Soul pieces.
You are just baiting this new patch soooo hard, man, I already want it like yesterday.
