Don't feel like writing a bunch of paragraphs here but we tested this with
yesterday. He might post a VOD later, idk.
At current stack limits
410/no raven or 385/raven (on-screen), his sin (top notch gear) was able to tank 8-9 hits vs hoto build (12k dmg, -240cr) , which is more than plenty.
DF/NW set up is not viable for tournaments like this and would bomb out in first or second round of the bracket. While the damage might be higher with such build, it won't be able to survive for too long, so it all balances out at the end of the day. DF/NW build should be able to kill in 4-5 hits max.
Part of the reason why the last final was so pathetic and boring is because blizz sorc has no incentive to take risks when opponent can tank 10+ hits. Opponents can play recklessly with 0 downside of being punished for their mistakes or overly aggressive playstyle.
Raising CR higher will only promote more defensive playstyle and phase out blizz build from the competition.
TL DR:
-Leave CR where it is at 410/no raven or 385/raven.This post was edited by Chad_Thundercock on Nov 20 2021 01:58pm
