Mh, as of now we kinda lack a set that can provide a power spike with only 3 pieces like DP used to do and some classes really can't go for the "whole set" thinghy.
Please, consider "working" the bonuses to provide value in mixing this set with the previous end game sets.
I can't speak for many classes, but i can speak for BW and say that we really have a lackluster gear progression currently.
Unfortunately for your wishes, we've taken a design stance to make sets more valuable as you gain pieces to try and mitigate mixing sets as much as possible. If anything I would say BW suffers from a lack of variety in gear because they have no real defensive spec like other classes might, and solely need to stack crit and int to advance. By the time you reach Bloodlord, your Int is likely to be capped, and we're rather conservative with crit. So it will likely be a marginal upgrade, or unexciting side-grade for you.
If you're looking for significant gear progression as we go above RR50ish stuff, I will accept your disappointment in advance.
While i understand what you mean by "BW not having a def spec", i don't understand why being a class with only DPS has option we need to suffer from this. As much as you can get tanky on BW, your role is to blow yourself up with as many enemies as possible in the least amount of time.
Currently, i have all the sets that are worth something and the only missing one is Sentinel of which i will need only the accessory.
Invader and Sentinel both do not provide any upgrade over Onslaught and Vanquisher is still a better option all around.
The last two set introduced are there for show and, standing by your words, the next one is gonna be next to useless too.
If a class that's meant to do high-end dps while heavily self-damaging itself, can't progress more into the damage, can i ask you what plans do you have for BW players?
We do only that. Crit and DPS. If you don't make us advance there is really no point and we will be ultimately left behind by the others who are able to get consistent bonuses from new gear.
The only other viable option is to make a set that, if used fully, gives us a huge boost(Which comes then with a tradeoff in either RR abilities or tacts slot), and if you guys want to go for that, sure, but don't turn it in another Invader.
I hope i'm not coming off as rude or off-putting because i'm really just trying to understand what is the direction you guys have in mind.
Also, does this mean that DP set(If and when introduced) will be changed from the live version of it?
Full set bonus proposals:
*50% explosion chance reduction or damage reduction taken from explosions
*Heal over Time on self on casting [place name of a skill with 5-10 seconds cooldown here]
*On taking any damage (including explosions): X% chances of getting +Y wounds for Z seconds and you are healed for that amount (similar to SM blade enchantment)
*On casting any skill: X% chances to get +Y initiative for Z seconds (should be high enough to worth, in the 200+ range)
*On being hit: X% chances to get Juggernaut for Y seconds, making you inmune to all debuffs, cleansing all your current ones, and granting +Z% movement speed (this last part exists in Epic Quest tank weapons now)
*On enemy disrupt: X% chances to reduce their Willpower by Y for Z seconds
*On enemy avoid attack: X% chances to make then take Y unmitigated damage as revenge. Can only happens once each Z seconds
This kind of procs would make the stat stacking less attractive than wearing the full set. Are they powerful? Yeah, and that's the idea, cause they have to worth roughly the same as X+Y+Z stats from stacking other sets.
PD: I read again my comment. What I meant to say was that the 6-7 pieces bonus should be like these. Powerful enough so people have to choose between adding renown crit stacking sets, or main stat using full set. That choice should be a tough one, and right now is brainless. There is no powerful enough proc to compete with stacking 3 sets and going full renown crit.
