I do LOVE the Warrior 6F build since it is a sheer delight to play, but peters out in the TL160ish range and needs rebuffed for survivability since it can NEVER compete at higher TLs where Mage and Hunter dominate. it should have significant ('big gun'-like ) attack and devastate abilities to balance it's inherent defensiveness. Any build for Warrior is far too one dimensional presently. Cooldown and alacrity need buffed to reduce the defensive posture to allow faster proc'ing of offensive weapons. too much time spent defending and not advancing. The devs should reconsider reversing the nerfs made several years ago in order to re-enhance Warrior as a POWERFUL tank build, since it cannot kite like Mage or Hunter - its lot in life, presently, seems to be to just grin and bear it while inflicting only some offensive damage during the onslaughts from mobs and bosses. Warrior needs the most work without question. Increasing the burn damage and duration will make Combust stacking easier (it's a very tight window currently) whilst increasing the damage to allow for larger Thermal Shocks.įinally, it would be great if the damage bonus from Bracer of Mastery could be changed so that the bonus amount is increased when a Celestial Transform is applied. In addition, the amount of Thermal Shock generated from a DfA build is around 37% that of a Frostbeam build, even when stacking Combust to wait for optimal Talisman procs.

Points 1 and 2 should help redress the balance somewhat. My reasoning behind these changes are that Death from Above does about 25-26% of the damage of Frostbeam over an extended period of time. Sash of the Igniter should have the burn duration increased from 6 seconds to 8 seconds Sash of the Igniter should have have the burn damage increased from 500% to 1000%Ĥ. The base number of charges of Death from Above should be increased from 6 to 10ģ.

Double the damage from Death from Above, so at level 10 the Fireballs should do 1600% weapon damage (up from 800%)Ģ. So with rough figures from a little Training Grounds testing (albeit with 'Dual School' damage types (Frost and Fire bonuses):-ġ. I'll start with Elemental Lords Regalia.I think the current Frostbeam meta should remained untouched with no nerfs, however it would be nice to see Death from Above become an alternative build with this set.

I'll probably make a few posts as I work my way through testing various sets.
