Thread: WAR 2.1 Patch Notes

So SE decide to make WAR have some DR huh?

but some skill looks stupid in my eyes

Vengeance - ALSO reduced damage taken by 30%

WAT!? Vengeance by it mean, its suppose to reflect damage or something counter attack back at foes. NOW its reduced 30% damage taken and what the point to reflect damage? Less damage taken, less reflecting damage.

Its sound contradictory

AND What about FORESIGHT? SE will not change anything of this? WAT? RALLY? 5% DR regardless 20% def up? you seriously not see its useless?

Vengeance does not work that way. It simply delivers a 50-potency attack to anyone who attacks you. It does not reflect damage, so the damage taken buff would not reduce the amount of damage returned.

Yea it seems like the could have adjusted Foresight but maybe not since it's a cross-class skill?

What the hell are you even talking about?
Vengeance
Delivers an attack with a potency of 50 every time you suffer physical damage.
Duration: 15s
Grants Wrath when used with Defiance.
Duration: 30s

I'm pretty happy overall here although slightly disappointed there's zero mention of changes to Foresight and Bloodbath.

It's important to note that although IB now appears like an inferior Rampart due to the 6 second duration, its an on demand mitigation button now. I think the idea is that we're free to use Infuriate on several different tools depending on the situation dynamics rather than sit on it. Need to wrangle mobs up? Steel Cyclone. Anticipating a Mountain Buster to the face? IB. Need/want to push a bit more damage because there's nothing else to spend on? Unchained.

Homgang is an incredibly welcomed change personally. Its an oh sh*t button and provides more useful utility if the survival isn't needed.

I get the feeling Storm's Path will render Storm's Eye mostly obsolete which is a shame. Two combo rotations is slightly clunky. Three doesn't seem functionally sound due to Eye's debuff duration.
