From what was said in the live streams, it should apply to everything healing related, including regen and AdctH. It will be interesting to see how that works.
@x1x1x1x2: yes, acid meteors ftw! would be cool if the color changed accordingly, but that’s just wishful thinking, i guess
I already said, and I will say it again, dual-wielding those weapons is going to be completely bonkers for a Paladin class: 4 fully converted wps, auto-attack with about 200% weapon damage (also fully converted), huge OA/DA/Phys res/Armor, etc. Let’s hope there will be Pierce pieces that support it.
Yeah, almost forgot damage absorb stacking from Oathkeeper and Inquisitor.
Depends on the build. Melee Shieldbreakers are very good and ar far less bothered by mines than a mid range build is. Don’t bet all your money on Paladins
Still no double RR. The gun itself is bonkers but without RR and decent incoming items DW ranged paladin will just be a good build. Not gonna be OP like old runes or binder (and it took binder 1 OP set and an entirety of great items in all slots to be bonkers). That tankiness tho.
New Pierce devotions are kinda nuts. Yeah, no +skills, but that amount of weapon damage and flat pierce with probably capped attack speed (and of course ADCtH in each hand thanks to 2x Seal of Blades), can you imagine? This pistol really needs decent items behind it and ranged Pierce Paladin gonna be nuts.
I just hope there is gonna be couple of decent items to support Paladin playing two of those pistols (maybe some item that gives additional RR mod?). I really hope that the days when Pierce = Belgothian will be over soon.
Belgo has mad support for Blademaster though and overall the set and its auto-attack is god-tier for sure. I have tried quite a few pierce combinations that were ranged (and weren’t Belgo) in AoM and all were shit (some even with double RR) and borderline unplayable.
Have you tried playing ranged Pierce in AoM? It’s garbage thru and thru.
I wouldn’t say Valdun is garbo but not impressive either.
Anyway tbh i didn’t try pierce paladin. But i intend to. With all my acquired meh towards paladins hype, for some reason I’m drawn to the ranged version of Paladin with Hellborne (which was revealed with new mods and has had some changes since then iirc) and this pierce gun. There is something very fun about being able to reposition yourself with skills like vire with a gunner. It’s like straight out of some anime shit. And it fits with Warhammer universe too which is always a plus for me
I tried different Valgur setups - Purifier/Infiltrator/Tactician, but all of them lacked punch and survivability. Not sure why, numbers were top level, but, well, it failed to deliver. I suspect lack of devotions procs may be the cultip here. Out of all pierce shooters Runebinder infiltrator performed the best, but, well, not as good as, say PS vindicator or even Darkblaze Pyro.
But I don’t know about purifier… Seems like in fire ranged division purifier will keep its crown. Firestrike is just too good. And correct me if I’m wrong but I see no flat fire anywhere just a shitload of phys. Not even on the autoattack (just burn). Everybody knows phys to fire conversion is a bitch so unless that changes I wouldn’t get too “fiery” about that paladin aa… But I don’t know…
Are people salty because they can’t cope with the fact that Crucible is the ultimate build’s worth test in Ashes of Malmouth or because they fail to make good builds themselves?
I’ve said it many times, I don’t like playing Crucible, but it’s not my fault that it became an ultimate testing field for all kinds builds.
And yes, ranged pierce is garbage at the moment because it can’t perform in Crucible at all. And before you say “hurr durr main campaign” I am going to say that I can make any class combo perform in Campaign with freaking faction gear.
but from a rr point of view, physical Paladin looks fine
:undecided:
