other general feedback:

All weapon sets must be looked at with all the recent changes to skills. either asylum, master, maelstrom, and BRP weapons.

it would fit with recent 3 pieces set bonus.

have fun.

Dummies like that work in reverse. Their front is treated as their back for the purpose of skill effects and vice versa. A similar thing has been brought up with the Camoflague Hunter skill, whose Minor Berserk effect procs when attacking dummies from the front, even though it mentions attacking from behind. No idea why though.

thanks for the 3-piece Agility set buff! Now I can use Master/Maelstrom weps on both bar and be competitive!

I have a small request for the Iceheart and Zaan monster sets - would you please add weapon crit to the 1pc bonus?

This would be a nice QoL addition and would bring it in line with sets like Slimecraw, Grundwulf, Chudan, Pirate Skelly, Kena, etc.

Just want to mention, that I unfortunately overlooked this thread here and posted my concerns on vma dualwield here:

Thank You (@ZOS_GinaBruno) for being aware of the problem, like it's explained in the 5.2.2 notes: "Many passives and item sets related to Damage over Times will receive some adjustments to ensure their total power remains closer to their intended power budget."

Since Blood Moon is getting a nice buff and is THE set designed for werewolves (without specifically requiring it), what about updating Salvation which is the only set that specifically requires someone to be in werewolf form to get the other half of the 5 piece bonus. This is a set that has been weak in comparison to others like Hunding's Rage, or even Vicious Ophidian for years.
This is in part due to the 2-4 piece bonuses not really matching up with the 5 piece portion or the general theme of werewolves, which is high attack power to go berserk with. Lowering the initial cost of using the werewolf ultimate is nothing special, especially since many players probably want to stay in form as long as possible to take advantage of it.

This portion of the bonus should be updated to either decrease the cost of remaining in werewolf form equal to +1 werewolf ally in your group (such that wearing this + in a group with 3 werewolves will have an infinite timer) or reduce the cost of werewolf skills by a certain percent. Increasing the weapon damage gained from 150 to 299 (to match Hunding's Rage for example) will also help place this set as a viable alternative to other more popular damage sets that have much better benefits both in human and werewolf form.

I can not understand it because of the threads in advance (#1, #2, #3), the announcement "Many passives and item sets related to Damage over Times will receive some adjustments to ensure their total power remains closer to their intended power budget." in 5.2.2 and the test with 5.2.3, that Cruel Flurry, the reward for the most difficult solo content, was not adjusted. It's not about being bis, but allowing a comparable style of play.
I can not imagine that it is desired to disappoint the hardcore gamers so much and to provide such a bad motivation for the new aspirants to try out the Maelstrom arena.
Would it be possible to get a statement (@ZOS_GinaBruno ) as to whether this was overlooked or intended?

Please combine the recoveries of daring corsair on the 2 piece bonus, and add a third stat bonus. The other two sets give at least two hybrid stats while offering much better 5 pieces. And the one hybrid bonus that this set does offer, double crit, does not fit well with the sustain based 5 piece bonuses in my opinion. Really don't care what other bonus is added. Health. Double max stats. Double resistance. Double damage bonuses. Another double recovery. Double penetration (although this also might not fit).

Honestly, I'd personally be fine with them just changing the crit to something else. That being said, given the theme for these sets seems to be double crit modifiers, please just add a another stat bonus.

quick refresh; since the patch looks almost fine for the most, do not forget weapon sets aka master/maelstrom/asylum/blackrose in both normal and perfect forms.
