The Defiler set needs some tweaks.

Listen first off I love this set, the hunger is great, my only problem is the up time. It's up for 5 seconds, the hunger is lucky to be able to get one hit off in that time. God forbid if the enemy it goes after is a short distance away.

I'm not talking major tweaks, The spawn rate is fine, I was surprised but on a high crit build it spawns in an awful lot. It just needs either

A: More up time and a matching cool down, or
B: Faster animations so it can actually attack.

I realize doing either would probably mean more tweaks to its damage, but honestly I feel it'd go a lot longer for viability.

Ah well those are my thoughts on the matter, You guys have any thoughts on the defiler set, or summon sets in general?

    They are cutting the damage in half next patch, that's a good change.

    Combine that set with a well-timed snare or stun and you should be just fine. We don't need another proc set with ridiculous burst and guaranteed strike
    If you want me to reply to your comment type @Ankael07 in it.

    I think it'd help, besides I wanna see the ugly bugger around longer than he's up.

    The problem is that even when summoned and targeting ONE enemy directly in front of you, it still doesnt always attack, between the animation needed for it to charge up an attack even at spawn location and the fact that I almost swear that its death animation goes towards the time, I've seen it attack a handful of times when its up and I've had it up A LOT.

    Honestly I feel like if the damage was reduced it'd be worthwhile still, it's supposed to offer a stun when hitting enemies with it's attack, I rarely if ever even see that even considering how rarely it attacks. I feel its not functioning properly. right now practically.

    Thanks for agreeing, I was wondering if I was the only one feeling this way.

    As far as I know proc sets still can't crit next patch and you need to crit to proc the defiler set, but I may be wrong about proc sets critting again. That or I missed something in the PTS Natch Potes.

    Ah I was thinking of poisonous serpent set not defiler, my mistake.
