Here is a comment I posted on the PTS Patch Notes v4.0.2 discussion. In the absence of a reply, I create a new discussion.
How to say that... As it is, the 5-pieces set* is totally useless.
The zone size is really ridiculous. It is proc when you cast "ground ability". Then...
-
Ritual, Healing spring, Channeled focus, made the "circle of might" in the middle of these ground abilities.
The probleme is : the range of this might circle is exactly the same than the Channeled focus. Healing spring is curently used to cover DDs and tank(s). The might of circle proc zone is then perfectly.... under the boss.
-
Liminous shard : The "circle of might" proc on the shard. Nice for tanks, but not sure they need Major courage. (Ok for mele DDs, exept if the cd is current, cauz circle on tank...)
-
The Blockade of storm : circle proc at the end of the area. Yeah, yeah, under the boss (or the tank).
-
The Combat Prayer : hum... doesn't create circle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If it was, I gess circle would proc as the blockade...
Well
- The range is REALLY
too small to be intersting to remplace a SPC, covering all the group. Notably on bosses you can't pack all you DDS, but you can align them.
- The idea of standing in the circle is good, but with a range equal to the Healing spring or a Combat Prayer, you would
keep the "Major courage" duration after leave the aoe, but increase the cd or remove the buff duration and keep the cd.
- In closing, in addition of all of these points, how, as DD, can I stand in a invisible aoe ? Corrected on 4.0.3 patch.
The range of the circle :
