Yes, but it’s impossible to make a set for literally everything, and you don’t always need a set to make a build that would perform okay. 2H Pierce Tactician I think is fairly possible, just worse than Blademaster.
Ok. If you were a 2H pierce blademaster, what set would you be after? I don’t see any, maybe i missed something.
Or any 2H pierce for that matter? The game has numerous 2H-swords with piercing. So it’s intended to be a playstyle. But i don’t see sets that would both allow a two-hander and support either nightblade, or inquisitor to make a build focused on pierce.
Don’t get me wrong, i think with right selection of items 2H pierce tactician can be quite good. I just agree with the OP statement.

Nice one 
Sure, but 2h ranged pierce Tactician is definitely not worse than 2h ranged pierce Blademaster.
Pretty sure 2H ranged Pierce Tactician is better than a Blademaster variant. Far more flat, RR that can applied from afar, and ranged wps. Nightblade hardly brings anything to 2H ranged, besides basic stuff like RR and an healing skill, which Inquis has as well.
Well you could try M. whisperer of Secrets + 2pc Targo + Bloodrager Gem (or Conduit of Warring Whispers) instead.
He was interested in melee so I answered about melee.
And to be honest, I always dislike people using rr clearly meant for a melee char on a ranged build. I’d honestly like for devs to prevent it simehow, ha ha. Like, if you’re using ranged attacks on a target less than 3 meters away from you, your OA/DA get lowered…or sth like that
I’ve been playing with a pierce Blademaster using 2H ring of steel and blade arc. The best option I’ve tried is 2 pieces of Belgothian’s set with Callagadra or Ravager’s hat. It’s not a top-tier build, but it can go around SR55 consistently.
It’s not very far from what i was planning. Couple of questions though. How do you survive with 28% stun res? And is 8% life steal enough for melee?
You’re generally not too easy to hit with 30% fumble and 20% dodge, so popping a potion during your stun will usually let you come out of it with enough health to hit blade barrier or pneumatic burst. Same goes for life steal, since you’re tankier than you look with all the soldier and nightblade defenses.
Belgo should stay blademaster. It’s the only class that fits the theme.
I’m not against templar on spellscourge but only because I like templar.
I prefer Oathkeeper than inq on Darkblaze. It’s the only set that makes better non inq have better ranged than inq builds. Let’s not involve inquisitor in this set.
I like the mines suggestion on vanquisher now that mine is getting buffed. I wanna see crate make vindictive flame a viable offensive skill tho.
Btw fluff did share a link on that 2h vanquisher. It’s somewhere on my skater thread.
Wouldn’t those sets then feel… bloated?
I mean, you can’t take away any of the stats currently on them to make way for the new ones. That would be a straight up nerf for pet builds and I am against doing that just so that they could have non pet stats.
Hybrids don’t work. Atleast no one in the community seem to be able to make them work. And I don’t want existing sets to be butchered just to have another go at making Hybrids a viable build archetype. Personally I am perfectly fine with hybrids not being viable as the alternative would be too drastic of a change that will take more than changing a few stats on sets to be viable without breaking anything.
The problem with the Kitty is that while it is strong, it does a weird mix of damage and has too much of a cooldown unless you focus heavily on it. Lost Souls Ritualists are going to be terrible since you are lacking all the Occultist support and all that in return for a single pet that will be doing Vitality damage and will be cooldown like half the time. I rather see it remain as it is, but with some buffs to the set or Vitality pets in general instead.
If it comes across as me being against change in general, it is because I kind of am. Personally I prefer changes to have some sort of purpose or reason behind them. And if the reason is simply so that they can be in line with the new sets or just for the sake of change itself, I can’t support that.
This would not require any nerfs to existing aspects of the set because the only current use case is Cabalist. Primal Spirit support is entirely orthogonal as currently both Conjurers and Ritualists are bad with the set.
True, but I rather see the set buffed for its current use rather than the “buff” be support for Primal Spirit.
I am fine with it being a Cabalist set just like Beastcaller’s is for Conjurers.
That probably has no chance of becoming OP so that’d be fine by me as well.
I have other things in mind, no inquisitor support is no go for me, but thanks for the tip.
Btw that set is exactly a type of thing i’d wanna see more of. Powerful 2 and 3 piece bonuses, features two types of dmg, supports 3 masteries.
Inq support? you said a blademaster. 2h pierce blademaster, with those items works incredibly.
