Defiler Set useful for Stam blade?

Azyle1

So that new set that does the poison damage and seems to be geared for stam characters. Would that be worth getting?

If so, I could replace my Hundings rage with it and Run that and 2 fang until I get VO.

For pvp its not great, low proc chance bulky animation. Easy to see coming easy to dodge.

For pve it is slightly better i think its supoose to do an aoe stun but from what i hear its broken.

If you can find it cheap sure grab it but i wouldnt spend much on it or spend alot of time farming it.

All in all seems cool but not sure if its working correctly.

Does anyone know about or have any videos of the set in action? I would love to see how it actually works.

Very low proc chance and acts like a pet or shadow image and noticed it doesn't last very long
Bit disappointed really summoning procs aren't that good imo

I'm currently using this on my Stam warden till I can get a good Viper's set for him.

It's honestly kind of terrible. The mob doesn't lock on to you target in AoE situations, and will most of the time chase down other ranged mobs. By the time it reaches them, it despawns. It only lasts for about 5 seconds, and during a vet dungeon it'll only pop 1-4 times per boss. It does okayish damage if it DOES attack the target I'm attacking right in front of it, otherwise, it's really a waste of armor.

It doesn't AoE stun unless it can attack, by the way, and the cone it damages with is super small, so only 1-2 mobs will really get hit by it, and it won't start attacking unless it's melee range.

Not really a good set, tbh.

In PvP it isn't even worth considering. It almost never procs, and people can literally kite it with no issue and take 0 damage from it.

I've used it on my stamden and Stam sorc, both of which are critical builds. The set seems to have a very delayed unresponsive proc rate.

It's terrible and broken

Strider_Roshin

Oh it's a terrible set. I actually laughed when they nerfed it.

The Uninvited

I bought it cheap to test it. The price was a dead giveaway... Mediocre, should be better if it lasts longer or if they undo the nerf.

Wouldn't Defiler technically be better on a Stam DK because of the World in Ruin passive? It's an AOE poison attack, right?

Good. I hope they never fix it.
