WE - Why is there no Burn Armor equivalent?

[germ32]

Not saying I want to have WEs mirror WHs 1:1, but can anyone give me an actual reason why WE's Vehement Blades does what it currently does when WHs have an AOE armor debuff in Burn Armor?

Would anyone actually prefer to inflict ~220 corp damage to an opposing player on ability activation instead of debuffing their armor? I understand that if you use this on a WL using whirling axe for example that they will take a lot of damage from it, but I legit never see people do this or go out of their way to try to do this.

Enfeebling strike will deal more damage 80% of the time if your goal is to do damage

I don't see the sense in specifically changing this ability for WHs only when it was actually mirrored between classes on live.

WEs have almost no utility and/or aoe, giving an aoe armor debuff to us as well would be pretty healthy imo and you may even see fewer witchbrew users.

That's easy WH's should not have Burn Armor either.

I don't disagree , but just figure it is far more likely that it gets mirrored than for the devs to deal with the QQ of taking something away from a class

[Endari]

True.. they take any chance they can to add more aoe to this game, kinda surprising its not already in really.

The way bigger question, why wp still dont have perma slow on procc, most broken ability ingame tbh.

WHs 30ft range on finishers given to WE.
Ignoring:
That the WE does not have to use a slow aa pistol and runs fastest aa speed dual dagger, while proccing kisses left and right

If you want Burn armor now too. Then maybe it is time to make WH bullets proc on every attack with a 25% chance instead of only proccing on Finisher.
Oh and WH need to get Shadow Leap too since you want mirror.

''WEs have almost no utility''.....
Septic blade turning a no cd spammable attack into a 100% applied -25% crit chance on target sounds like some utility my WH would gladly give up Burn armor for.
