Twisted Darkpromise - A great set for SM not to use

Post#1 » Tue Jan 27, 2026 3:07 pm

Guys, I'd like to better understand why SM doesn't have a DP set geared towards 2h.
There are 3 options, and Honestly, looking closely, there's no decent use for Twisted.

Image
Here we see an interesting tank set, with significant critical hit reduction, more HP, damage reduction, and excellent blocking.
Looking at each piece, we can also see that the attributes are well-balanced, providing all the necessary stats for a tank.

Image
The Blissful set is another example of a tank set; it has everything a Two-Handed Weapon Master needs, but the +5% Block bonus ruins everything if you were planning on using 2h.
Like the previous one, it has generous attributes on the pieces.

Image
Finally, we look at the set that someone thought was worthy of a 2-Handed Sword Master. I believe other tanks might be happier here, but definitely not a 2-Handed Sword Master!

Why +71 WS?

WS = Armor Penetration / Block Strikethrough

Why would a Sword Master use abilities that hit armor, since a 2-Handed build or any decent DPS build will hit with Spirit!?

This set would be great if the first bonus was STR or at least Toughness...

To make matters worse, the glove gives +3% armor penetration!

This set needs to be different for Sword Masters. It was made for other tanks and adapted for Sword Masters, but Sword Masters don't use exactly the same attributes as other 2-Handed tanks!

I would definitely like to see this set remade for SM or any other Order/Destruction tank that doesn't use WS/Armor penetration in their 2H build.
Thank you to everyone who made it this far and maintained politeness in their comments.

Looks like it is a good tank set for 2H tanks except SM, and Chosen , so 4 out of the 6 tanks. either don`t use it, or spend crests for a mix of sets that only have str bonuses. warlord is the same if I remember the 2 piece bonus is WS.

I love how it's the basic answer for alot of the SM / Chosen sets. Vale Walker has exactly the same issue, Warlord too. So 2 of the 6 tank classes have 3 sets that are totally useless to them, while the other 4 can use all of them. WS used to be viable on SM when it provided parry, but it's 100% useless nowadays.
Asking for useable armor sets doesnt seem too much. But it would require to tailor the armor sets slightly differently, not as archetype sets but as class sets.

More of an issue for SM than Chosen tbh since Chosen has 11/20 or so abilities (basically half) are physical:

Auto Attack
Withering Blow + the dot
Suppression
Cleave
Tooth of Tzeentch (first hit)
Enraged Blow
Dizzying Blow
Repel
Downfall
Sever Blessing
Throwing Axe

I'd rather some of the Chosen abilities be made Spirit so we can lobby with our SM brothers on itemization changes =p
