With the rework, the playstyle is even worse than regular condemn
-
One button problem: because condemn is triggered by Phalanx, you have to spam Judgement every where on every enemy…its worse than Primary skill buillds, because there is a small delay…so it just feels bad.
–Fix: Remove the judgement requirement, revert the set’s RCR, so the player can cast condemn which procs more condemn when Phalanx attack -
Phalanx: not all phalanx proc the condemn, It seems different runes get buffed by Blade of Prof+Fryher, its so hard to tell because sometimes it blows up the screen, then enemies seem to not be affected. not sure if its a bug/interaction
-
Eternal Union: despite phalanx now last forever, they dont follow the player very well, kinda like earth ally, so when you reach a new pack, you have to resummon phalanx…making this pet/army style totally broken
—Leash, or speed needs to be fixed -
Condemn: prior to PTR, most runes are playable, Vacuum was probably the best, but fire too. Now that its a proc…to have fluid playstyle, the only viable rune is “Unleashed”, because anyother rune…you will cast Judgement, Summon Phalanx…nothing will happen for about 2 seconds, so you have to wait on the mob until the Condemn goes off…you can try it…but its sooo clunky.
–FIX: have Phalax proc instantly, or add an affix to Eternal Union: Condemn also use “unleashed rune” -
Baleful Remnant: Not sure if this is intended or a bug, but these avatars do not proc Condemn so its useless in the build.
TLDR.
Props to Blizzard for creativity…but this mix of pet/not pet build does not play well in game.
Its “similar” to Zuni Dart with a big difference that you dont control the pet’s action.
—Maybe make Eternal Union cast Condemn at range like WOL, and every time you cast it, the pets also cast, or proc.
It was very frustrating to play…you have to debuff the enemy, summon pets…and you dont have options of using different runes.
If you tried the PTR how would you change it?
