I kind of dread what will come after the nerfs. There's always next meta proc set combo...

I mean... Yes. It'll be some way OP thing in the next DLC or maybe out of endless archives. Or the next mythic. Whatever they need to do to make sales I guess. But that's kinda understandable and is normally fleeting.

By and large if they just adjust Weakness to Elements (the skill, not the staff,) and make ALL proc sets scale off something instead of being flat values... And also make things not proc more than once a second... That'd pretty much make things perfect, in my mind. I don't think there are too many problems beyond that.

I would even say Draugrkin/DA are ok without scaling, it is nice that there is something that encourages slotting multiple weaker abilities and I think it should remain a viable build concept. They just benefit overly much from the real offenders.

Weakness to Elements contributes disproportionally to effectiveness of those sets. We discussed this skill more than enough in various threads. It just received to many buffs at the same time (status procs+brittle on chill), while dots overall took a massive hit. The Value/Cost ratio is just through the roof for this skill. Having a high tick arena set to go with it is just the cherry on top. They should figure out a reasonable change for this skill before too many unnecessary nerfs are made.

Master's DW having flat damage is too strong considering that the set basically has no conditionality and it works off a skill that is already excellent as a dot and comes with an already overperforming weapon, with DW having a unique access to crit, passives that work well in PvP (+% on cc'ed targets and built in execute) and, most importantly, double enchant procs (with the only mobile backbar proc option).

Without the excessive boost from those two Maarselok would also be a lot less problematic, when you have to work for the number of statuses on the target.
