So, looking at the exploiter buffs, it quickly seems that Venthyr warrior will be op. And with some math, it seems like it will be. With the new buff it went from 141% increased damage on mortal strike with Sharpen on, two charges of overpower, 2 stacks of exploiter, warbreaker, and avatar. But now it’s 205% increased damage with mortal strike.
Since i’m 226 ilvl, lets go with that. In a patchwerk setting, with mortal strike doing about 4500 damage normally. With the 205% increase damage, it’ll do 13,700 damage, but lets say you get a crit. It’ll do 27000 damage, all that with one skill.
But what if Mortal Combo (Conduit) procs a second mortal strike? That’ll hit for 13,700 damage. So, if you hit a crit and got mortal combo to proc, you’ll hit them for around 41000 damage. Insane but what if the mortal combo crit too? (Idk if that’s even possible but maybe.) You’ll hit for 57,000 damage. Now 41000 would probably already one shot but maybe not if they have defensives, but this’ll definitely one shot if they are low ilvl. (If you do this big setup, make sure they don’t.) Now all that’s insane, but lets say you only got the big mortal strike crit and no proc on mortal combo. You hit them for 27000 and they are you’re ilvl with around 41,000hp. With massacre, you will put them just right above or right in execute range. Now with warbreaker and Avatar up, your condemns will hit for about 7-8ks. So, that means it’ll in a sense take you 3 globals to kill someone IF you got a crit on mortal strike. But even if you don’t crit, 13k is still a lot of damage and with the possibility of condemn criting after you do a big mortal strike, you could still kill them in 3-4 globals.
So, playing against plate wearers at your ilvl, you can one shot them if you get lucky. Cloth wearers will just die immediately if you get a crit, and anybody with 5 ilvls lower then you, you’ll kill in a global. So if you haven’t already, swap to venthyr, I know I already have.
Venthyr for the win baby.
