New season incoming barbies

What if the sets 5500/stack bonus and special effect applies to WT too?

Currently, it doesn’t do that. And: would the mechanic work the same, consuming stacks with each shot? Let’s say that it did.

In this case, you’d get about 7 GRs worth of extra damage from the higher Raekor 6 bonus (vs LoD or IK). And, some more on top of that from extra thrown weapons spawned from the original- maybe up to 10 more GRs of damage. But you’d have to knock off a few tiers for time spent generating stacks, so maybe call it “up to 15 tiers” extra. That still leaves the build pretty weak.

All that, of course, is assuming we now generate one stack per enemy hit. If that’s not the case, then WT would be a terrible fit for Raekor due to the time you’d need to spend generating stacks vs spending them.

Yes I know, that’s why asked what if. And from your answer, I guess bigger buffs to WT on the spears is a better solution, like you suggested.

I figured that’s what you meant, but just wanted to clarify my understanding of it… after all, you could have meant “what if the patch notes are wrong / incomplete”, which would not be unreasonable. It’s happened before… remember when they told us the reworked Bastion’s Revered would hit an extra time per attack, but it turned out to be an extra time per stack?

Oh yeah. That was awkward.

Dudes, we’re so close to the finish line. Can you imagine having every single of our major sets and builds feel complete, balanced (more or less), and fun?

With the legendaries/set powers that they’ve already put on the table for tweaking, I’m counting 4 builds that are on the anvil:

  • R6
  • Vile Charge
  • LoD Weapon throw
  • LoD Ancient Spear

Of course the LoD AS build isn’t going to compete with R6, but hopefully there would be a niche for it.

Ideally there would be viable versions of R6/LoD with both boulder toss and other spear runes as well.

I think the new R6 set is quite fun to play. But Boss fights. hmm…
Every enemy you charge through counts. The new Legendary Gems are really only for augmenting your gear and works like any other legendary gem. Some other stats when main stat given would’ve been cool.
