2 things:
1. BS doesn't work with grief's +dmg added afterwords.
2. The attack is AR dependent.

Point 2 is really problematic.

Patch takeaways:

Zons are going to be very strong. Melee builds will still be worse than zeal ofc but they might now be usable. Passive and magic buffs are substantial. Bow buffs negligible but they’re already decent; when paired with the passive and magic buffs they’ll be a top tier class for pvp. Still bad for pvm

Pnb necro damage buffs weren’t too crazy which is good, but the bone armor one is excessive

Martial arts sins, singers, fire druids, and whatever else was supposed to go from bad -> relevant all still suck asshole

A2 is still the only mercenary. The buffed thorns + the buffed way it works on merc might warrant using it which would be cool

Sets are still worthless
New runewords are all worthless

The 85 areas are mostly miserable to farm but I’m happy to see red portals get the nod




You can obviously see that they’re scared of altering the game too much. Minor buffs for classes that need massive ones, runewords that won’t come close to being in the meta, and so on. A bit disappointing for something that’s been so hyped, but at least there’s nothing game-ruining



It needs to be 300% for them to be not garbage

Might use eth lacerotor (will proc the amp damage and OW) and 2 parts sigon set and blessed aim merc.

if you're using a hybrid dragon tail / blade sentinel sin then you don't really need to care about AR with a -83% defense conviction merc, even 1k ar is enough, and you can fit in a vis circlet if you're lucky enough to have a good one
but it also adds +5*slvl ar and monlvl ar (generally going to be monlvl = clvl, since it uses min(slvl + (0.75*clvl) , clvl))
so a level 90 sin with level 44 blade sentinel gets a bonus +3718 AR on top of her normal attack

FYI 1% bonus to spear and spirit is massive for pvp. turns a 4 spear into a 3, and a 3 spear kill to 2.

That is such a broad generalization that only applies to small ranges of health

If your character is getting 2 speared it’s not ready for pvp lol

at what time the ptr release ?

I thought about a potential way Obsession could be buffed while not being too "overpowered" but I am curious about what you guys think: what if they added a "3-5% increased experience gain" affix to it? It would make it worse than many combos for damage, but it would beat Ondals for experience gain, especially with a high 5% exp roll.
