the macabre visage set

fenn1539 · April 28

i feel like if they made the macabre visage into a set where doing light and heavy attacks builds up stacks that can cause a blood burst for 50% max health with the limit of how high it can go being based on weapon and spell damage AND if ANY enemy dies either while within an aura around you OR from the blast (aka enemies next to the one that blows up dying) they then blow up with a raised cap by maybe 10%.

Is the set worth it?

theres a half second cooldown on the explosion so it wont be able to chain proc

theres also a hard cap on the dmg of 24,000, so the 50% max hp of the enemy is virtually useless as 98% of PVE enemies will be at 48,000 or more max hp

its actually moderately decent, because the 5th bonus has an additional 150 weapon/spell dmg, the explosion kind of acts like a bonus, and would be OK to help farm public dungeons

it might also work OK in pvp too if you kill a guard, that would be 12000 dmg aoe (24000 - 50% from battle spirit), though i dont know how this will actually function with battle spirit, even with it applied 12k dmg is a lot in pvp

so i wouldnt necessarily say its bad, but in vet content, when even trash enemies have 250k+ max hp, a 24k dmg proc that requires you to get the killing blow wont be as noticeable, even less noticeable against say trial bosses, you would get better value out of azureblight at that point

if your running solo and just want to be hilarious, then run azureblight + this new set lol, double pve explosions lol

Well, here is the thing. The sets says the trigger has to be a monster but only that "enemies" are damaged by the blood burst. Does this mean I can kill other players by killing guards near the players? Because guards are monsters and players are enemies.
