WH skill trees and skills

Post#1 » Sun Mar 01, 2020 1:26 pm

WH Skill trees are separated into 3 categories.
Path of Confession for toe to toe combat.
Path of Inquisition for longer duration weakening effects.
Path of Judgement for surprise attacks and positional combat.

However, some Skills and Tactics seem to be in the wrong place if seen by the skill trees description.
WH got introduced in a time where the original devs had immense pressure on their shoulders, by the publisher.
WH got nerved right after its introduction on live, just because of its impact on t1 while not a single WH even
reached L40. WH is hard mode RvR because of its role and Gearset. And the weird skill trees only make it harder.


-Seeker's Blade (Base Skill/Path of Confession) is an Ailment, that if the Target is already ailing, procs
a curse on the Target, reducing its chance to block, parry, dodge and disrupt attacks by 5%.
This Skill should be placed in the Path of Inquisition. First because it is a weakening effect, and because it profiteers from the Skill Fevor, that is an Ailment and triggers Seeker's Blade's curse.


-Seeker's Triumph (Skill tree Tactic place 3/Path of Confession) Is the tactic that makes Seeker's Blade ignore 50% of
the targets Armor and reduces its cooldown.
This Tactic should be in the Path of Inquisition in the Skill tree place 3. It belongs to Seeker's Blade.


-Confess! (Base Skill/Path of Inquisition) is a counterattack that disarms the target for 4 seconds
and can be used after an attack was parried.
CONFESS! should be in the Path of CONFESSION where it belongs, to work in harmony with the Skill Repel Blasphemy, that grants
100% chance to parry attacks for 5 seconds.


-Full Confession (Skill tree Tactic place 3/Path of Inquisition) Confess! no longer cost action points, and will nearly always critical
hit.
Full CONFESSION should be in the Path of CONFESSION in the Skill tree place 3. it belongs to CONFESS!.


-Prolonged Confession (Skill tree tactic place 3/Path of Inquisition) All attacks have a 50% chance to build up an additional accusation.
Prolonged CONFESSION should be placed in the Path of CONFESSION in Skill tree place 11. It would have more usability there by the point
that it would help with the higher AP costs of Razor Strike(40AP) compared to the other tree's 35AP build ups.


-Blessed Blade (Skill tree tactic place 11/Path of Confession) 50% increased Armor penetration for 3 sec after Execution.
This tactic should be in the Path of Inquisition in Skill tree place 11. It is a huge weakening effect and should be in the
tree for weakening effects.

-Protection from Heresy (Skill tree tactic place 11/Path of Inquisition) Absorb X dmg when leaving Stealth.
This tactic should normally not even be in any Skill tree, for it is not really used at all. But it needs to go down to
Inquisition place 3 to take the place of Prolonged Confession and to make place for Blessed Blade.


This is just a small proposal that could make the skilling and playing of a WH a bit smoother.
