Last patch we got a nerf on Void Gauntlet and now 2 perks on fire staff are going to be nerfed.
Refreshing pillar of fire was the only thing that brings fire staff on pair with other weapons, 58% cdr is not enough to do it. 5% on burnout makes no difference.
Been playing as spear/rapier in the last rotation and i can say that spear is basically immoral. High damage, CC, bleed, rend and fortify. I don’t even switch my resistance gems because of perforate. At least rapier has only damage on pve.
In the next patch basically all dps will be forced to play spear/great sword or won’t be accepted in any groups.
And let’s not forget that magical weapons have way less base damage. 20% spear bleed is often higher than 30% burn or oblivion from vg.
