[Suggestion] Empower - increase the bash damage vs monsters

Bashev · August 2023

Make empower to buff the damage of the bash attacks. This could open another simple build for PvE which will be viable and not OP. The bash damage is only single target, except the necro ultimate and Deadlands Demolisher with 2 seconds CD, similar to the new splash damage from lighting staffs.

Unlikely the HA build with the bash build you should be in mele range.

Maybe also it could be needed to add the off balance buff to bash attacks too but this should be tested for PvP.

This buff should be active only with sword and board on main bar similar to minor brittle with ice staff. Otherwise it will be mandatory for other dps to add bash to their rotation for DPS boost.

If you want to make some fun build around bash, not just increase damage, you should check bash sets:
Veiled Heritance
Systres' Scowl
Turning Tide
Jolting Arms
Void Bash

Most of them in the end will increase bash damage, but you need to do some things to proc it.

Sadly even with these sets we cannot reach even 50% of the HA damage.

@ZOS_Kevin can you pass this idea to the dev team?

Greetings,

We have closed this topic as it was originally created in August 2023. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

Thank you for your understanding.
