Hello,
After testing the Ret Paladin set bonus on the 9.2 PTR here is my feedback.
Currently there is a bug where upon Art of War proccing seraphim (the 2set bonus) the seraphim will consume your divine purpose proc. This will need to be addressed asap so testing can continue.
I personally feel the double RNG elements of the 2 and 4 set bonuses feel underwhelming and boring. It would feel better in my opinion (at least in PvP as thats what I primarily play) if the player had more agency over both the seraphim and art of war wake of ashes resets.
I suggest reversing and slightly reworking the 2 and 4 piece set bonus.
→ 2 piece set - Every 3rd ( or 4th or 5th depending on balance team numbers) art of war proc resets your Wake of Ashes
→ 4 piece set bonus - Upon reseting your wake of ashes with your 2 piece set bonus, proc 5 (or 4 or 6 seconds depending on balance team numbers) of seraphim.
These changes would give the rotation a (small) shake up, have a meaningful impact on gameplay with hopefully similar level of power to the current set bonuses. As currently stated I dont really “feel” when I proc 2 seconds of seraphim on art of war. It is simply 2 short, and it feels clunky randomly resetting Wake of ashes.
Thank you for reading! (This is also posted in eternity end forums, just figured I would post here as well to see if we can see more Ret opinions on the bonus)
