Witch-Knight's Defiance

yeyesil · November 2020

Witch-Knight’s Defiance – Medium Armor
2 – Adds 129 Weapon Damage
3 – Adds 129 Weapon Damage
4 – Adds 129 Weapon Damage
5 – Increases your Weapon Damage by 369 against Poisoned enemies.

Is the 5piece bonus from this set increased by brutality buffs?

Master's bow damage is increased by medium armor and brutality buffs but is it same as witch's knight set?

I thought I read on pts it does not get the buff; but I cannot say either way for sure

Regardless it wouldn't be worth it on any build. Far too weak for low uptime.

Low uptime? I assume as long as poison inject is on the target, you have it up. Which could be like.... forever

Did you try it on stamdk? It's a great front bar set for stamdk whether it's buffed from brutality buff or not.

I would read the description to mean someone who is actually affected by the poisoned condition. I dunnot hough, I haven't tested it out

This is what I initially took it to mean as well. If that is how it works it wouldn't even work vs Wood Elves as well which is kinda funny.

Anyone actually tested out what condition it applies under?

2-4 is fun obviously, but those "against enemy" effects tend to be terrible because they dont effect your own heals.

and thats kind of one of the main benefits of weapon damage, as something like penetration would be a better damage bonus that does not contribute to your own healing.

feels like a trap regardless, and that 2-4 is totally going to lure people into it. better of just running something like alchemist that you can back bar and control better, as well as retain full benefit of weapon damage (self heals) and learn to manage your offensive window better.

It is specifically referring to the "Poisoned" status effect, not just any random poison dot. So it would be a % chance to proc upon your target taking poison damage.

Very reliable uptime if you have/play a stamina DK with venomous claw which automatically applies the debuff.
Not my first choice, but viable enough. Definitely not BiS on anything though
