For Aether we have the Clairvoyant Set which upon completion will grant us +1 to All Skills, which along with the +1 to All Skill bonus from the Hat makes the set give us +2 to All Skills
Long Story short, I think Cataclysm Set’s completion bonus is the perfect place to add +1 to all skills. It still won’t be as good as The Clairvoyant Set due to lacking favorable specific plus skills but it would certainly help out many builds.
The Cataclysm gives bonuses to Elemental Damage which means this change benefits single Element builds( Cold, Fire and Lightning) on top of the Tri-Elemental builds
It’s doesn’t seem like an unreasonable change to me personally
TL;DR
Add +1 to All Skills to the Set Completion Bonus of The Cataclysm set similar to The Clairvoyant Set to help out more builds
Idk If they will put a +1 skill. If you’d rely only on the set procs and a few other gimmicks it’s balanced but you can include high damage skills, like you did on your version:)
+1 to all skills is not that overpowered and i’m all for it but I’d sooner see them tinkering with the procs and stats.
Also visually. I know my PC is shit but I’ve tried it with all video options maxed to see how it looks and it’s basically avenger relic or Dawnguard set proc.
I think Crate would hesitate to add a +1 to all skills bonus to a 3pc set that mostly doesn’t interfere with other sets. Though adding it would mean it’s now mostly better than a +1 belt to a single class + peerless eye, which is the usual belt and ammy slots right now. I’d love to see it though, shouldn’t be too strong though I can see a lot of elemental builds switching to this especially those who don’t have specific BiS items for the slots that Cataclysm occupies.
It is actually
My phrasing was bad, i just love how Arcane Cataclysm activates around your enemy instead of yourself like the Avenger and Dawnguard procs do.
As for the procs appearance the Blazeseer Set proc would thematically be perfect here Or a large Fissure at the enemy’s feet OR anything that fries our GPUs
Peerless Eye is a little overused so I don’t think it’d exactly be a bad thing. This would benefit the casters only and not anyone else
I concur that +1 skills while not broken would probably make a lot of Elemental Casters alter their builds.
I merely suggested this for the set because I find it rather odd and unfair that Aether gets the only +2 All Skills set in the game (discounting the rest of the bonuses the set gives it)
I tested this set extensively and came to the conclusion that it’s insanely strong as it is. Surely, just +1 to all skills and no skill bonuses, but the total amount of OA/crit/Defense it gives is amazing and it opens opportunities for a lot of builds. That stun resist on off-hand is especially good. And yeah, procs are fantastic as well. Gonna roll out a sick new sorc based on it soon.
