I can't wait in 3 months for the game to be reworked again and get classes that do good dps now and gear sets tottaly killed not even nerfed.
But this 3 months will be awesome for many, so yeah!

✭✭✭✭Actually, with the nerf to Unstable Wall of Elements spam, my first guess is that the Maelstrom destro staff is becoming essential to casual overland play.
But I haven't actually tested this yet.5 -

I can't speak for 2h since I never liked using Stampede myself, but while on paper the Maelstrom staff still seems perfectly fine, trading a little bit of single target dps (assuming good weaving) for increasing the damage to all targets in the AoE without effort, it turns out it got a secret nerf in that it now only affects WoE ticks while it's your active weapon. So you can no longer backbar it and have the efffect continue when you barswap.1 -

AlterBlika✭✭✭✭So it's not a bug that we don't get buffs from backbar arena weapons? Why would anyone use them then, except for some niche scenarios?0 -

what's woe ticks... and why can't we backbar it
WoE = Wall of Elements. So now that the maelstrom staff increases the damage of Wall of Elements itself instead of light/heavy attack damage against targets inside your Wall, it only works when it's the active bar. Any time your Wall of Elements deals damage while you're on your frontbar (assuming maelstrom staff is backbar) the damage isn't improved by your maelstrom staff.
At least on the PTS that's how it works and on the live patch notes I'm not seeing any changes to that. I assume it's unintenional because the designer's comment implies that they didn't intend to nerf the set like that, only to shift it's power away from being dependant on weaving.3 -

I still feel like this has to be a bug. Since the Maelstrom Bow essentially works the same as the Staff does now and that works as a back bar item after a front bar swap as far as I know.6 -

Destyran✭✭✭✭✭You can get arena weapons on normal fast. They are all back barred and you don’t need perfected versions. You are lucky it’s a guaranteed drop.1 -
