My bet is they’ll tweak beastmen spam eventually. It’s so overturned because they are a novelty, but they’ll get old fast.
slayer is in good position, its not braindead as zealot class. Waystalker thp on headshots are still op as hell. Unchained is in same position that she was before, no idea what are you talking about here.
I do think Slayer could use an increase in baseline HP from 100 to 125, after all, that used to be one of his old first tier talents and I think that helped a lot of people feel he was not so squishy vs random single hits from slaverats etc… It also would help new players to the higher difficulties who don’t have +20% HP on necklace.
It’s not like 25 HP would suddenly make him OP. And there’s a precedent for this, seeing as FS increased WHC’s base health pool back when he was underperforming/underpicked.
Actually Huntsman needs a push in his baseline HP.
Or they change the “master huntsman” talent.
|Master Huntsman|
Reduces damage taken by 3%. Increases to 30% after the party kills a monster. Lasts until end of mission or death.
This is a joke compared to the battle wizard talent which is active most of the time with 3 stacks. However only 15% but it has still a lot more value.
|Soot Shield|
Igniting an enemy reduces damage taken by 10% for 5 seconds. Stacks up to 3 times.
Huntsman is really strong as is, slayer seems really good too but with a high skill cap, thus shadowed by zealot. But I agree his 2nd line of talents need revork because there is no use to get 2 light or 2 heavy most of the time… Leaving you to only one default choice
I’d rather they changed Master Huntsman to work like BH’s new Job Well Done talent, as in: Killing an elite or special enemy grants 1% damage reduction buff, stacking up to 30 times. Lasts until end of level or death. He doesn’t need an HP increase.
3% DR is useless and even if you get 30%, as you mentioned RV and Pyro get that with much lower difficulty and less RNG. You’re also punished hard for taking that huntsman talent then if you do die, whereas RV and Pyro can get theirs back on demand even after death.
Hence, if Master Huntsman worked like Job Well Done it’d actually be neat. As it is now it’s his worst talent.
