WE AOE post patch

[Orontes]

Tried both we and wh aoe spec my wh aoe spec felt much stronger.

Thanks for the reply. Can you explain further on what gave you that impression?

both are 100% viable in aoe now for the purposes of general warband gameplay, both pug and organized.

while they are mostly even I would say that WH is in a slightly bit better spot in aoe circumstances currently.

this is due to guaranteed bullet procs which means applying OHD to a backline with certainty using DG or BH, while WE's kisses are a proc chance so not as reliable and unable to be applied on demand. also the new finisher that WH got being spirit damage rather than physical (harder to mitigate) while having quite strong base damage and scaling, imo I feel like it is stronger than WE's new aoe finisher in a lot of cases, unless the target is within execute range for the WE finisher to get its max bonus damage. as well as WH having burn armor which WE misses, which is decently strong when utilized properly and is the only other source of reliable aoe armor debuff on order is from dps RP which are uncommon at best.

WE does have really strong tactics that are not mirrored to WH (like frenzied mayhem) and pounce, so this gives advantages as well. however the advantages of WE mostly come in to play in solo/smallscale, not in warband.

it's nice to see them having a place in aoe situations now, before it was iffy at best, and now they are actually quite powerful when played properly and in the right group composition.
