I was looking at poll results. Seems many of us want to play with Chakram.
Chakram can be used with UE and Marauders. Anyone knows what is our strongest build with Chakram right now? I think it should be with Marauder. No need for Chakram offhand if we are using Vengeance + Dawn + CC3. Hatred regen is high enough to keep us close to max all the time.
Sword has bigger damage than 1H Xbow. And Sword can’t roll 12 discipline as secondary. For Chakram to work with UE we need to use Chakram offhand (generates 4 hatred) so UE set counts skill as generator.
The problem with that build at the time, if I recall correctly is it was too tough when compared to other classes. It wasn’t the damage really, I think, but that whether you played it as S4/M4 or S2/M4, it was tougher than every other class and so was easier to play than most other builds.
That’s why so many of us loved it. But that was what 10 maybe 12 seasons ago? If we had that build today, it wouldn’t even sniff our best builds.
It was pretty fun though. I was really disappointed when it got poofed.
Because there is no animation for that in the char model.
Some skills require ranged weapons (I think thats also unique in D3?), and S2 requires a melee weapon. If we could equip both, we could it combine to S2N6, which woul be probably a little bit to powerful.
But yeah, the main reason is probably the class fantasy. We are either ranged killers, or silent melee assassins, but not both at the same time.
Oh yes, I member!
During that time I was called a nasty troll, and players like me were the reason why we can’t have nice things. Just because I called this a bug, which would have destroyed totally our class intern balance and build diversity.
On that PTR, I was a completely junk player not able to complete GRift 35. I put that build on and I beating Grift 50 and climbing. I mean, I had no skill at all at the game at that time but that build was rocketing me up the GRift levels like I was some kind of game savant, comparatively speaking.
N6M4 Chakram is strongest, on PTR i just ran a GR115 with it in 13:33.
It’s for the same reason why N6M4 Cluster Arrow is stronger than M6 Cluster Arrow. M6 Cluster Arrow only becomes balanced with N6M4 when Hellcat Waistguard is used.
I put this in the Discipline to Witching Hour thread on the DH forums but it could go here as well.
A way to boost some our sets without messing with too many items or the set bonuses themselves would be to add a multiplier onto Wraps of Clarity.
Change that bonus to something like "Every time you use a hatred generator, your hatred spenders deal XXX% more damage and you take XX% less damage for X seconds. Our builds wouldn’t lose any damage resistance and more than just our UE build would be improved.
Did not survive PTR.
