That’s how I see it also
I don’t see even one reason to take this node. Not one.
If I use martyrdom, I will try to let others the medicae charges. I will avoid healing to get the most of the martyrdom bonus.
And also, when I get damaged, I would need to have used my ability right before, to take advantage of it.
Well, my experience is that such conditions rarely apply and that this node is really useless.
As I say, the only smart idea about using martyr’s purpose that I have read, is to use it to be able to go stealth when damaged. Well, for me, this is not the best use of a talent.
Honestly, this one is good with weapons that allow to take advantage of this node. But a slow weapon won’t work good with that. In fact few weapons are really good with this CDR.
Also, I don’t like shroudfield and chorus. SO unless I want to go to inexorable judgment, I won’t go for this CDR node. To be honest, I use it only on my dagger assassin build.
But this is a personal feeling.
This CDR is good… but I don’t see using it with a martyrdom build cause I won’t take same weapons for this CDR node and also for martyrdom keystone. And here, this is not personal, I don’t see anything that could push me for this.
That’s my problem… you have to go for critical.
Like close to all my builds. Maybe having an other option than going critical would be good.
But, this is not really the topic (I realize after writing all this). For me “I shall not fall” is perfect. Cause as you said, martyrdom is also something that relies on TDR. The bonus is really good for this.
However, Martyr’s purpose is for me the node that should be changed. And I proposed something in the thread about it:
