Is Fasallas Guile Viable?

AverageJo3Gam3r · April 2016

Is this set viable in PvP? Is the two second healing debuff long enough? My fear is that if someone is turtling, they're not hitting you and don't get the debuff. I can see this set being useful against magplars (debuffs jabby jab heal) or HoTs (vigor, mutagen) or in small group play against a group with a healer. But, does the heal debuff make up for DPS loss from not running the agility set?

What would you pair it with for a stam DK? I'm not interested in a full tank build, so something like the reactive set is out. I like being able to kill stuff. I was thinking about 5pc morkuldan, 5pc fasallas guile, 2pc bloodspawn.

Discuss!

Yea it will be good once they make heavy armor worth using. Right now you get burst down fast so it doesnt matter if they heal while stomping you. I tried it and wasnt impressed, there are to many combos that take less then 2 seconds to do 25k dmg and youre better off stacking stam or magika and power. Imo

I used it on my DK Tank, it was mainly PvE speced but so what I did was just go into big groups, take a lot of dmg, use guard to soak up more of it and reflect to bounch stuff back and sure I didn't kill stuff on my own, except for that one dude who sniped himself to death.... But it made it so much easier for my friends to kill stuff especially since I used the reverberating bash as well. Pretty fun actually. Stood in openings in keep walls and keep mids and soaked up stuff with guard and reflect and it made it easier to keep people from coming in.

I like it for small scale stuff 1v1-3, Put all wpn dmg enchants on jewelry and pair it with something like 1 kena and a 4 piece marksman to get some regen back.

Takes a little better stam management and dmg is lower but if you can keep pressure on people they then to freak out when they can't heal back up. Try and keep a major defile debuff on them as well.

I don't think it'll be considered the best in slot gear until heavy armor is fixed but you can do some fun builds with it and can make it work in some situations.

I know a couple people that like to run it in larger groups and just run around as a walking meatbag.

I personally prefer fasalla on magic builds, since sustain is easier than on stamina builds. Maybe you could run 5 tavas with maelstrom weapons though. Your overall damage would be low, but you'd have all of the leaps

5 fasalla 5 reactive 2 bloodspawn + 30 pugs for you to agro = profit

Fasalla's is extremely effective if you're running in a good group. You're essentially a mobile meatbag catapult and its duration refreshes from every attack. If you can last long enough then whoever's attacking you gets the healing debuff. it even procs from siege and caltrops so if someone's sieging you with a meatbag, they get the same debuff in return.

If you're on console, equip that set with something more tanky, get yourself a pocket healer and some good DDs and watch the world burn

Very viable.

Thanks for all the responses. I already have a set of morkuldan with gold weapons laying around so have paired it with that. So far it seems to work well. Swapped to engine guardian though because I ran into resource issues with 3x damage enchants.
