Hi, as the topic reads I want to bring out this setbonus into light. I started this thread in hopes for a civil discuession in regards of this ; -3% dmg reduction for your group within 30feet (10% procc chance on being attacked)

Now let's start, the actual 10% procc on being hit is not a issue. perfectly fine value in it's self, what is in my veiw a very lackluster and to 99% useless is the 3% dmg reduction part (30 feet and for your group is fine aswell). So let's put it into a schenario where you would have the most use for it, a wb session facing BW's.

A bw's best outcome in regards of putting out DPS would be something like this;

-flashfre procs so you channel a 1.5sec Fiery Blast into 9 enemies
-all crit, all targets have reduced resis and no one is super tanky, so about 2k dmg on landing
-all proc Funnel Power, 200 dmg on each hit
-all maybe proc 75% chance Flames of Rhuin, add +200 dmg
-all maybe proc Wildifire, add 400 dot crit times x2

so about 28800 dmg
obviously not reachable in normal rvr due to disrupts, block, mitigations, proc chances etc, resis and so on, so you maybe hover between 3k to 6k aoe damage per second.

So let's say a bw could do 6k dps, how much would that be if the setbonus would procc and reduce 3%dmg inc for your group?

Well 3% of 6000 is 180, So from your (in my eyes) worst threat and one of the most dps output possible in the game you gett a reduction in 180dps at a very generus veiw point.

so now let's add in 6 other bw's into the equation, putting it into a true bomb perspective;

6x180 = 1080

it do adds to be a ok number, 1k dmg/sec. to bad that this is not the reality of the game cuz then i wouldnt had started this post. reality is you have Disrupts, block, mitigations, proc chances etc, resis and so on. Heck dont even try on normal pve mobs it will be even more underwhilming then.

a more realistic number are around 500dmg reduction at most from (6x bw's i might add).

Now i do get and agree with set's should not add to the power gap, but just add to a variaty so you could combine or pick w/e to fit you need or playstyle. but having the newest and arguably the best tank set in the game having such a lackluster set bonus is not ok and should be taken under considiration.

Ps, even if it would stack with your other tank in the group it wouldnt be good.

Thanks for reading.
