Guess which one is better? No respite specifies that you gain “up to 20%”, while execution is straight up 20%, no up to, so which one is better?
No respite, by a huge margin, no respite increases damage by 20% for each instance of stagger, meaning if a target is already staggered and you stagger them again, they take 40% extra damage, until they regain their balance, this bonus can reach up to 140% damage.
Why is it not ok? any shotgun that is not equipped with it will be missing out on tons of damage, making it mandatory pick, effectively making shotguns a blessing slot weapon which I think prevents shotguns from being more diverse build-wise.
My suggestion would be to completely remove no respite and replace it with execution for the affected weapons, while also adjusting the damage of these weapons to account for the change, I’m not saying increase the damage by 140%, but it will need to be increased to account for the missed although inconsistent power provided by no respite.
yeah this is a messed up blessing only shotguns (and even then only the non arbites) can use effectively because lasguns and autoguns just do not stagger much at all (even with falter). for some reason fat shark juiced numbers on some blessings like crazy well before the skill trees were even in the game. but even then the only notable thing this blessing did was provide infinite stacks on beast of nurgle when it wasn’t even staggered through a bug (I miss killing this slug in like 3 Lucius shots). now shotguns can debate on not using man stopper and have more power, so no respite can quite reliably drop reaper and bulwark in 2 shots on all shotguns. Its a bit of a dump otherwise for some (especially shotpistol with its lack of unyielding spike). Not sure why shotguns need to be so hot and cold on damage, Arbites does it all day long.
Yes, test it in the shooting range, what I did was shoot a mauler in chest point blank with and without the blessing, the damage numbers are all over the place going up and back to base damage, and it’s way above 20% if you spam attack.
