I haven’t read all the post suggestion but my opinion is that FK getting staggering force as a passive would fit his role very nice. I also belive that he should be able to reach the 30% damage reduction like IB. I don’t think he should get smiter talent, he is more od a team player than a single target elimantion kind of guy.

Ok but there are support classes that are equally as much team players while still having more dps via smiter
realistically that whole system needs reworking but as a bandaid solution I think FK should get smiter

But what will you replace with it? Mainstay or bulwark? Because they both work very well with the FK kit.
And smiter incrase only single target dps but lower dps in the horde.

I’d replace bulwark, the benefits of it are hardly felt by anyone in a team and you’re better off taking mainstay if you’re gonna opt away from smiter
anyway smiter is only about 5% weaker in hordes than mainstay vs the substantial single target benefits; bulwark and mainstay lose out to it in any engagement that actually matters.

It depends on the weapon when it comes to elites. With weapons that have their anti armour combo tied to a push, Mainstay can come out ahead provided the push has enough stagger strength. This is mainly relevant to the shield weapons, but with a 15% stagger power passive it would also be relevant for the Halberd and the Greatsword, as with just 10% power the push would stagger SV out of non overheads with Have at Thee! up and Comrades in Arms

Aye, which means bulwark becomes even less relevant since you’d be better off with mainstay on high stagger weapons anyway
