New mythic: Rakkhat's Voidmantle / HA +50% damage increase but HA no longer restore resources.

GeneralGrundmann · April 16

"Mythic
Medium Shoulder – Rakkhat's Voidmantle

1 – Reduce the damage of your Light Attacks by 50%. Dealing damage with a Light Attack restores Magicka or Stamina, depending on your equipped weapon type. Gain additional resources when damaging an Off Balanced enemy and less resources when damaging a blocking enemy.
Increase the damage of your Heavy Attacks by 50%. Heavy Attacks no longer restore resources."

Heavy Attack Build
Noble Duelist
Sergeant
Resources recovery buff food

Main Class: Nightblade for class mastery skill and Siphoning Attacks
Subclass One: Sorcerer for Storm Calling, especially Surge, Hurricane and Energized passive
Subclass Two: Warden for Lotus

General idea: Surge and Lotus provide enough healing to use Siphoning Attacks as a resource recovery tool.

Thoughts?

I would take Molten Armaments or Solar Barrage. You still need prolonged source of Empower, no that 10 seconds joke from Mage's Guild tree.

I tried quite a few HA builds with Ulfsilds Contingency as a semi-spammable source for Empower and that works really well. Resource management might be an issue here where your suggestion can help..

Just make jewelry Infused with Mag Regen, heavy attacks don't get much from SPD/WPD anyway.

I was wondering about this mythic and subclasses

Few years ago there was test on PTS that did exactly what this mythic does but globally, there was also removed speed penalty during chanelling the heavy. Bit sad that the speed penalty is still there.

I was thinking those as well, ]NB has a stamina gap closer that gives empower but not fond of being forced to use a gap closer to keep it up. NM it is 10s and as bad as the mages guild passive. I am hoping two bar heavy attack builds will be a viable option in DLC HMs.
