I already posted thread about Ludrigan but I think I repeat it again - set is underperforming severely as autoattacking set so inquisitor support there is pretty much filler
As for additions I’d love to see is more melee WPS coming from items. Right now overwhelming amount of itemised WPS in game are ranged. Just to compare:
If you want to go range but fo not have wps, your options are
- Epic Set Sharpshooter’s Duty
- Epic Set Keeper of the Blaze
- Epic Set Oathbreaker’s Folly
- Legendary set Barrelsmith’s Destroyers
- Legendary set Valdun’s Betrayal
- Legendary set Stronghold of the Legion
- Shoulders: Mythical Shadowflame Mantle - twohanded only
- Two handed: Mythical Soulthief
- One handed: Rutnick’s Blaster - dualwield
- One handed: Darkblaze Incinerator - dual-wield
- one handed: Mythical Deathdealer’s Sidearm
- Ring: Mythical Jaxxon’s Lucky Bullet
- Relic: Plunderer’s Talisman - dual wield only
Now, how many wps for melee characters are there?
- Gloves: Mythical Brawler’s Gloves
- One handed: Mythical Notched Bone of a Thousand Deaths
- Medal: Mythical Direwolf Crest - dual wield only
- Relic: Blademaster’s Talisman - dual wield only
There are also some universal cases:
- Medal: Mythical Pyroclasm Mark - dual wield only
- Medal: Mythical Korvaak’s Brand - dual wield only
- Component: Seal of the Void
Here is link on grim tool to compare
As a result combos without wps access has relatively little problem collecting decent pool of WPS on ranged builds, but has almost no access if goes melee, especially on non dual-wield builds. Just to compare: ranged Sorcerer can have two Rutnick, Korvaak brand and Lucky bullet for overall 15+15+15+12=57% chance of WPS skill. Will need some elemental to aether but thats not that impossible to findl If he also get some Chaos to aether(not worth in my experience) and stick 2 Seal of Void on weapons, that number would be boosted to 57+16+16=89%. And thats withotu dedicated relic
At the same time if we will want to run for example FS melee sorcerer, we would be at max, at absolute max able to reach with 2 Mythical Notched Bone of a Thousand Deaths, Mythical Brawler’s Gloves, korvaak’s brand for 10+10+12+20=42 % chance and also will need fire to cold and pierce to cold items to unify damage. Two seal of the void can help, but would require also chaos to cold, so have fun with itemisation. And that ignoring actual bonuses onto weapons and gloves mentioned.
Want to run weapon and shield or twohanded melee sorcerer? Situation even worse. Mythical Brawler’s Gloves + Seal of the Void for whooping 12+16 = 28% wps and no dedicated relics
Bonus points ranged itemisation have dedicated WPS sets like Vuldun…
So I’d love to see some sets with dedicated melee only wps access so something like melee FS purifier or melee deciever would be able to collect something that at least look as partially decent pool
