Lul. Thrassian strangler isnt a pvp set.

Even tho shields stay untouched this patch, while healing has been reduced alot.

@PeterUnlustig
I assure you, it is most definitely a PVP set. It's not for the faint of heart, but from what I can tell, lots of people are running it by now. I have been running it for almost the entire event.

OP does bring up a good point. Even in PVE, a class like Mageblade or Magplar can handle Thrassian much better than say a class like sorc. The first two have passive heals (class spammables) that scale of spell damage. A mag sorcs class passive heal (crit surge) does not. Their defense of shields also feels the nerf.

Using VMA as a reference. Without Thrassian, magsorc is much easier than mageblade for a fast flawless run. With Thrassian, the opposite is true.

Sorc kinda got a PVE shaft this patch to be honest. Their heals dont scale with spell damage AND the new vamp spammable does not proc their class DPS skill (Frags).

Also i strongly doubt that a full stack of strangler with a whooping 40% healing reduction is nullified by the 3k spd/wd on most builds. Unless you start with 0 wd/sd

what? a 3K SPD is enough to almost double tool tips considering most magic players in PvP run with somewhere between 3-4K fully buffed without it.
