Beastlord Set Bonus

[Faef]

Why does the mara 5 piece bonus reduce ws / give st by 84 but WL only 80?

The WH/WE bonus is really kind of lame considering both have tactics/abilities that do it better. May I suggest that since the WH/WE are the only light armored mdps i game that the 5 piece bonus is an armor increase or even better an 1200 point absorb, or even a 1200 point heal.

Still dont get why either of you thinking having more chances to build career mechanic is bad, you don't have to use them separately, you should use as many as possible. As WH, the more times you can build executions, the more chances you have to proc FA (best burst, but tied to rng). With a WE, either you get to full kisses quicker, for max puncture, or you get to max kisses quicker for max frenzied mayhem.

Both use their career mechanic differently (more opportunities vs max opportunity), but both benefit from building it as quickly as possible.

My OPINION: Intensity, bonus for WE/WH is really bad, both classes already have tactics like whirling blades, prolonged confessions and flow accusations.. Do we rly need intensity ? I would recomend something like Corrosion – On Hit
I dont see any WH/WE who knows how the class mecanics work using the set to benefit from the 6pc bonus...Better use the 5th bonus and use the extra slot to get more %parry or crit.
again..my opinion only.

Speak for yourself but as a wh, I'll take as much career mechanic as I can get thanks. Last thing I want is an armour debuf when I have 100% armour ignore ability and a 50% for limited time on any ability. Assuming that's what you meant by corrosive?

Incidentally is it actually this bonus though? Because the piece I just got has a snare, 40% on attacker, 10% on being hit (me). Going by the tool tip.

Do WE and WH have different Beastlord bonuses? Pls post image so we can see.

Will post when im home from work bud.

BlackGuard 5th bonus is 5% Disrupt

Is beastlord supposed to be a dps set? Why does AM/Sham gear have int on it?

That's asking for a morale heal/absorb on a proc... Not a dev, but as someone who fights WH every day, that would make them immortal.

not all of them .... one of them

This is wrong, Beastlord should be the same for WH and WE. I'll look into it when I get home.

The beast lord sets are IMO a sideways customisation option to provide players with opportunities to mix and match sets and their bonuses. The particular AM and sham sets fit in well into the hybrid healing/life tap spec and dps.
