● Mountain Thane
The damage value of Ionizing Strikes triggered by the 2-set is too low. Its damage contribution to 5 targets is only 0.5%, which is unreasonable as part of a set bonus.
Since Ionizing Strikes has no other sources, the 4-set bonus provides no benefit if the 2-set bonus doesn’t trigger. If Ionizing Strikes is only there to trigger the 4-set bonus, the design is worthless.
I have two suggestions:
- Change Ionizing Strikes to trigger Lightning Strikes, deepening the synergy between the set bonus and Hero Talents.
- Allow the 2-set bonus to be triggered not only by Thunder Blast but also by Thunder Clap, or significantly increase the trigger chance, such as a guaranteed Ionizing Strikes trigger.
● Slayer
The Fury Warrior 4-set bonus effect, where Raging Blow can trigger Reap the Storm, doesn’t seem to be inherited by the four Raging Blow procs from Whirlwind cleave. This results in too low a trigger chance for Raging Blow.
The Fury Warrior’s primary source of Reap the Storm is Bloodthirst, which conflicts with the 4-set bonus. This leads to a conflict between the Slayer 4-set bonus and the talent itself, significantly reducing the set’s effectiveness.
I have two suggestions:
- Change the 4-set bonus to apply to Bloodthirst.
- Bring back the Annihilator talent from 10.0
