Actually a lot has changed. The problem last season was that Sent was undertuned and the tier set didn’t do much to support aoe as much as it did to support ST. Pack leader became the go to and our aoe cleave wasn’t great.
This season however Sent cleave is back and more traditional AOE survival builds are popping off.
I hated the previous tier set and was messing around till i got my 2 piece, I picked up my spear again and never looked back. I get into ruts every now and then and i dip my toes into BM or MM to spice things up.
