Just how good is Galenwe?

masterofpow3r

I'm preparing to gold up some tank sets, and am wondering just how good is Galenwe compared to its alternatives in a real world scenario.

I've got maelstrom s&b, yoln, rkugmaz and olo backbar setup for 4 man's. But for trials I was thinking to go yoln, Galenwe, Lord warden.

Galenwe looks great on paper, but is there anything I am missing? Are there other sources of empower common in trials that would render Galenwe not worth using? And in perfect scenarios just how good is galenwe, is it possible for it to outperform yoln?

Yes to other sources. A Necromancer can provide the same buff to the group with Empowering Grasp.

galanwe is situational, its not a bad set, and especially shines in KA, and I can see how it would do well in SS. You're better off running alkosh in all situations if you're just trying to gold a single set. The set can very easily have sizable downtimes if you're rolldodging attacks (which in some trials you really should) or the boss attacks very slowly like CR.

Ontop of all of that, you're whole group needs to be within 15m of you which isnt always reasonable, for example again CR or AS

And lastly, lord warden is hot garbage. hasnt been a good set in like 2+ years, if you want a greedy set, use stonekeeper or earthgore, on occasions theres situational sets like malubeth, shadowrend, lady thorn, tremorscale, or even vykosa. Definitely dont use lord warden. It doesnt hurt to have 3-5 monster sets on hand you can swap around with
