Patch Notes (Preliminary)

[Ariane]

The potency increase to WD is likely to balance this out. Otherwise with it now being an instant, with the increased potency, AND also able to buff it further with Rouse/Illumination/Largesse would have its power exponentially increased. I believe this is more of a QoL change to SCH than a nerf or buff.

The buff in potency doesn't even make up for rouse. WD and rouse have the same CD length, so you could always pair them.

You're right. I read the notes wrong and thought the potency was being increased to 140 instead of 120. Now it doesn't make sense to me at all. Like you say, rouse is usually paired with WD, which is why I mentioned the QoL change. It's definitely a nerf to the overall HoT, but having WD go off when you actually want it to was something that desperately needed to be fixed. SE just needs to give WD a true 40% increase to its potency, and we can call it a day.
