This looks like a typo on the 2pc bonus. The 2pc bonus seems too strong if it is 8x. A second thing i’d like to mention is they didn’t address defense, so Heaven’s Fury CDR w/ Ivory Tower is going to require Esoteric Alteration/Mutilation Guard and/or Unity/JL. This build will really shine for high paragon players – kind of like N6 Rapid Fire – with enough main stat the player can gain an extra 50-60% by swapping in a CoE, or, a damage gem.
FOTH USING GR117 AS A BENCHMARK
For FoTH by itself, let’s see what would happen to those GR117 clears:
- 3.14x gain from Darklight
- 2x gain from AoV 6pc
6.28x which is almost 12 GRs or GR129, it might be less because the 2pc lost a random beam. Overall, this is weaker than LoD Blessed Shield.
HEAVEN’S FURY: AOV VS LOD
Let’s say LoD CDR version has a ceiling of GR130, this is possible today with a real good map and 7k+ paragon. Using LoD as a comparison, I’ve converted the damage to Aegis of Valor as follows:
- 2.04x gain from AoV 6pc bonus
- 2x gain from Endless Walk
- 8x gain from 2pc Bonus ???
- 12.5% penalty from 20% less elemental damage
28.56x which is roughly 21 GRs or GR151
If we assume 2pc bonus is really means 300%
- 2.04x gain from AoV 6pc bonus
- 2x gain from Endless Walk
- 4x gain from 2pc Bonus ???
- 12.5% penalty from 20% less elemental damage
14.28x which is almost 17 GRs or GR147
Although survival sucks, it’s brokenly over powered and needs tuning.
RECOMMENDED FINAL TWEAKS
Heaven’s Fury is not really balanced with FotH from a legendary item standpoint, Darklight needs a little more power since the Khassett’s Cord belt wasn’t touched. FotH needs about 2GRs. And to ensure good a synergy with an eventual Akkhan 6pc buff, I recommend these numbers:
- Darklight gets buffed to 1200%.
- The 2pc should enhance both skills: Heaven’s Fury AND FotH.
- 2pc stacks 3 times for a 300% (4x) multiplicative damage.
- 6pc is nerfed down from
20,000%to 6,000%
Pure FotH w/ Steed Set Currently GR117 Clear
3.71x gain from Darklight
4x gain from 2pc Bonus
39.6% penalty from 6pc
8.96x which is almost 14 GRs or GR131
Proposed AoV Heaven’s Fury CDR
2x gain from Endless Walk
4x gain from 2pc Bonus
38.07% penalty from AoV 6pc bonus
12.5% penalty from 20% less elemental damage
4.34x which is almost 9 GRs or GR139
The thing about AoV Heaven’s Fury w/ Ivory Tower is that it lacks defense and will require most players to abandon CoE, at least 1 legendary gem to survive, probably about 5GRs. Fist of the Heaven’s also occupies 1 skill slot, which is ordinarily used for Punish – so expect that GR139 to be GR134-135.
I know there’s a lot of numbers to process, but we have to start somewhere, what do you guys think?
