In the interest of making TeB more viable, and less of a niche pick, I’d like to propose a change to the ability. Currently it allows us to bypass armor, but reduces our damage done, which just seems like another version of you deal X% more damage but this time we don’t really know by reading the tooltip.
To make TeB more appealing while honoring the roots of the ability and some old WW spec abilities, I’d like to propose the removal of the damage reduction on TeB. It’s a simple change while being a throwback to WW having baseline armor penetration back in the day and TeB being a major damage boost. If TeB becomes a massive damage boost against Plate, that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to accept on their behalf.
Or current TeB could just be turned into a Vers increase with the same max Vers % increase as old TeB’s damage boost. They’d essentially function the same way except we’d get a solid number with Vers in terms of damage increase as well as it being applicable to on use damage trinkets like cyclotronic as well as it being a throwback to our WoD 4set where TeB also gave us DR.
IMO, both of these options seem pretty reasonable. They don’t change the formula of how TeB currently functions too much.
