[DEVELOPER PREVIEW] The Tier 4 Sets

[Glorian]

Quik question:
One set is from rvr the other one from SCs.

How is the Ruin to get by? Or better said will be get by on RoR?

[Sigimund]

Ruin from PQs

[Nameless]

you get ruin by wining gold bags from PQs and that set will be with lesser stats than anni/mercenary

it will be interesting if tripple double pieces bonuses will be valid

tank getting 52hp/4sec instead of 3ap/s on ani? serious? oh and gg keeping the advantage of all order tank getting spiritual res against main ranged dd and destru getting elemental ROFL

1) Read the thread before you perform a drive-by whine, this was addressed by Genisaurus below:

I am a large proponent of the idea that itemization should not be used to fix balance issues. It was pointed out to me that I was being hypocritical by standardizing resists for order and destro, because the resists they were given were those that best protected them against BW/SOs. I take this seriously, and so this time around I elected to keep the resists that were present in the original sets - it's not a buff or a nerf, it's literally what you would have got had I not touched it at all.

2) Learn to make a comment / criticism without resorting to childish "gg serious ROFL lol" whine.

If the damagetypes used by BW/Sorc are overcentralizing (which they ARE) then improve the viability of the other damagetypes to the point where there is no single damagetype that is definitively best to spec against.

For the record, I'm absolutely fine if Order sets start resisting Elemental and Destro sets start resisting Corp. I would love for such an obvious disparity to exist in either direction, simply to highlight the damagetype imbalance caused by BW/Sorc.

Still worried about how low the INI stat is on the merc set.

[Scrilian]

Thank god 30% damage taunt proc is gone, hopefully it will not work for characters of 40rank?

[Scrilian]

Exactly, I see no way that Merc set is any better than Duelist with that proc even accounted for stats difference. Same for -armor procs.

Merc/Anni set is piece of sht
