What are the chances that other under powered sets like and Pestilence some witch doctor sets will be given a buff prior to season launch?
Pestilence has been neglected since forever but its an EASY FIX!
Problem 1: EXTREMELY LOW set damage bonus: 3300% is the lowest of all set, even IK has more
Solution: Please buff this damage so at least T16 is viable
Problem 2: Jesseth Dependency: ever since Jesseth was buffed, builds that dont use Skele have to run skele just to compete, this is VERY clunky and feels very unnatural to play
EASY fix: Give Trag Fang a decent bonus (300-350%) range, so there is competition between damage vs. playstyle
Depends if you proscribe to the infinite line number theory which essentially assumes that, if you took infinity and 0 and mapped them to a number line and then took that line and tugged on it until it became a circle, both numbers would be in the same point making 0 and infinity both the beginning and āendā of numeric systems, with all numbers between relatively pointless except as markings/divisions to relate to each other but without actual valueā¦
So, maybe nothing. Maybe everything. Or, maybe just something imaginary?
Oh, wait, I spoke to the finance team and they said debt comes before and after zero.
Blizz donāt want you to play PetsiLance build. They want you to play Masquerade build.
Honestly, PestiLance needs more than a buff, it needs a retooling.
1- GET RID OF BONE SPEAR!!! Masquerade has that spell now.
2- Change Bone Spear to āany essence spender.ā *** if you are desperate to attach one ***
3- Buff Corpse Lance and Corpse Explosion to 6500%.
3- Up the damage mitigation to 60% and duration to 20 seconds.
I think itās biggest problem is that you constantly need corpses. So is LotD dependant. And a dmg buff is in order ofc. And yeah switching from Bone Spear to some other source as secondary damage dealer.
I agree 100%. Thatās why you see people using skeletons for solo play or land of the dead in group play.
PestiLance is fun, but I like the other one better. Having those sims fire a bone spear or attacking with a scythe is a blast. Then again, seeing all those corpse lances fly around is nice too. If blizz buffs PestiLance, then I will play both.
I didnāt mind the long cooldown, its kind of similar to bazooka wizard, waiting for one huge nuke during the convention cycle, but it also has very good single target damageā¦well good for back then
I really like the in-geom speed build with it, but yea right now it cant even clear T16, which is a joke, considering it used to be an RGK build
I remember it being the āgo toā build for the necromancer before people used skele mages and bone armor builds. Hopefully this season it will do better, even though it didnāt get any buff love like Masquerade did.
Like you said, ācant even clear T16, which is a joke.ā As long as it can do that, then I can have fun with it. Of course, speed 90s would be better, but thatās just me being greedy.
Yes, with the aura that consumed corpses. So much fun. The Golem command to create a pile of corpses. Plus isnāt there still an item that has the Golem dropping a corpse?
Thanks. I know that the PestiLance build didnāt get a direct buff for season 28, but I wonder if the altar (not counting potions) alone will act as an indirect buff to the set/build.
Hmmm. I shall indeed try that out. Of course, Masquerade will do better, but still worth a shot. Maybe I can use it for speed 90s.
Each class still has a Pestilence Set or two when it comes to under-performers. My guess would be the next patch they do, whenever that maybe will address this set along with 1 of each other classes like we saw with this upcoming season. Possibly matching whatever set gets to be the Haedrigās set.
