The top 3 BiS options were not even compared in this list.
But yeah, I was also masturbating in front of big numbers the first few days RotW came out. Guilty!
Now all I can say is that anyone not using insight/ondals/obsession is a joke. And the joke will be even funnier when they fix echo to perform a hit check and use durability.
At least those who were using stuff like eth insight polearms will still have a use on merc. But stuff like eth Fort TM?
Non-eth archon will become BiS if they patch it like I believe they will for next season. I can’t see the future, this is purely speculative, but it’s my best guess. If they don’t do it for next season, then I guess blizz will just abandon the idea and will leave us with mosaic 2.0
Why archon?
Small gap between min/max, making it easier to standardize the amount of hits required to kill X or Y target
50%ed vs undead
You get a huge bonus to ar% and the highest crit chance, which will be more valuable when the base dmg from (non-eth)weapon is suddenly less valuable in the final equation.
And even if you can fix your mana with leech/siphon, having meditation for tele is just nice.
what makes you think think they'll nerf it next ladder?
