I think that’s a valid statement. It doesn’t help to have a feedback thread and then to basically ignore the feedback. It makes the situation worse when the fix proposed is not related to the problems reported.
The way I see it, they’re going to have to fix the aoe abilities in one or more of the following ways:
- Increasing the modifier on beast cleave and uncapping it
- Increasing the modifer on stomp (and possibly all of the abilities in this talent tier)
- Increasing the damage on multi-shot
But, the biggest issue I see is the set bonus itself. The fact that it is a proc is what is causing a mechanical block for Venthyr. The fact it is a crit buff is not good for Kyrian which will hit crit caps due to Resonating Arrow.
To the feedback earlier in this thread that Nadjia (Venthyr) provides crit and could be crit capped is of less concern, we can always switch to Draven or Theotar to avoid that issue.
So, I’m less concerned about issues we as players can work around without switching to another covenant. I’m more worried about being mechanically unfeasible. That, to me, smacks of a much bigger design flaw in set bonuses and someone else said it better than me earlier in the thread: It’s like the person designing the set bonuses had only read about hunters and never actually played them. It has the ring of truth to it and it doesn’t require modification to fit the facts.
