U39 Preview 1: War Soul & War Priest Revamp

[Selvera]

What do the orange outlines mean?

What does the non-orange mean?

Do the numbers indicate AP cost?
- If so, why are there boxes with no numbers?

I have no idea what the orange outlines mean. The changes seem totally independent of the orange outlines.

The numbers indicate a number of ranks; the cores don't have numbers because cores never have more then 1 rank.

- If so, why are there boxes with no numbers?

If I had to take a wild guess based on my memory; the orange circles are/were highlights to show what abilities were being changed/discussed. Atleast that's how it was when War Priest was first thrown on the PC forums, but it could mean anything by now.

[Haphazarduk]

Feels like there should be some MP/RP in there somewhere. Nothing huge but perhaps 10 MP/RP at 18/Cap or
2 per core.

Smite should be 10s cooldown like Vistani actives.

Core 3: Remove Sanctuary, add in 2/3 PRR per core. Rams Might added to Spellbook.

Righteous Weapons 1 AP rather than 2. Very limited wpn selection and prereq for Wrathful should make it cheaper than other tree's general +1 enhances.

Is Smite itself going to be tied to Favored Weapon types?

The more I look at the tree and plan things out, the more I think its just going to be too heavily hamstrung by the abysmally poor selection of favored weapon option for Eberron races (ie what 90% of people rolling Clerics will be using) - except for WF, but they're nerfed as clerics by their positive healing penalty...

The Warpriest attacks are nice but they're on par with options from many other classes (cf Bard, who also has decent heals and a better casting stat, CHA>WIS right now). Having them force you into a weak and limited weapon selection is really going to tip the scales away from WP/WS.

How about an option in the third core or fourth tier akin to what Monks get in Kensei to be centered with non-centered weapons:

Consecrate Weapon
The weapon in your main hand, if you are proficient with it, is now considered a Favored Weapon of your deity until you unequip it

Or at least have it be a multi-selector like Kensei where you can add a Favored weapon group.

Otherwise I can see a situation where WP just becomes a splash to get Smite/Ameliorating Strike as a self-healing complement for other builds (Warlocks and Barbs spring to mind)

An attempt to equalize favored weapon types similar to Swashbuckling, to replace Wrathful Weapons' (t5) current functionality.
This will need to be a stance and exclusive with Swashbuckling (because of sickles).
Similar to the way THF Glancing Blows work, all attacks will deal a % of your physical damage as bonus light damage, dependant upon weapon type:

10% - maul, scimitar, quarterstaff
20% - dagger, greatsword, longsword, shortsword, bastard sword
25% - warhammer, longbow
40% - heavy mace
50% - sickle

%'s were decided based on having imp crit and War Domain (Holy Sword).
* Maul is at the top because of Blessing of Silvanus.
* Qstaff is up there too because all the qstaffs you'd realistically use have strong crit profiles.
* Heavy Maces are 40% instead of 50% because of Scourges (sorry non-scourges).

In case that's not clear, examples:
If you hit something with your maul for 150 physical damage, you'd deal 15 bonus light damage.
If you hit something with your sickle for 100 physical damage, you'd deal 50 bonus light damage.

Some tinkering may be required, but this is the basic concept.

Thanks for the input, but you can't know for certain. We need to hear from a dev on this. I was assuming that the orange outlines indicated things that had changed, and that the numbers indicated AP cost. And so for the Warpriest/Soul diagram that would mean that the Righteous Weapons line had changed, and the cost per tier was reduced to 1 AP. But then this:

They're all still 2 AP on Lam. Your guess is as good as mine if that's a bug.

As btolson says, we need a dev to provide a key in order to avoid making assumptions about things which may impact the feedback we provide. A Righteous Weapons line at 1 AP per tier seems like a very reasonable change to me, and I said so in my original feedback. But if there has been no change then I want to suggest that the Righteous Weapons line get some changes. That doesn't have to be making it 1 AP per tier, but that would be a reasonable change. Leaving it as is makes the entire pass a fail IMO.

[Niminae]

And then this in the AoV thread:

Effectively, nothing. They're a remnant of older development design meant for internal use.

We've been relying on modifying existing charts for these that were not originally meant for public viewing; this has caused enough confusion in this cycle where we'll be revisiting how we put these together for Lamannia/Forum posts in the future.

For the moment: The notes are canon. The chart is meant purely to help people understand where things are in the tree.

Oh, ya think? ****, SSG... Paraphrasing: "The only value of the chart is to help people who cannot figure out that core means core and have a hard time counting from 1-5." The chart was a communication in a post communicating change. It figures you'd manage to communicate in the worst possible way by implying meaning with a bunch of meaningless colors and numbers that 10 minutes of work could have removed from the image.

And "for the moment"??? You guys can't even hedge consistently.

Back to the Enhancement Tree feedback:

Please fix Righteous Weapons. 2 AP per tier makes the Warpriest/Soul pass completely pointless.

You actually got a dev response to this same question in the Angel of Vengeance thread.

Basing the numbers on War Domain is a bad plan. As previously stated; other domains exist as does War Soul for FVS.

Secondly; War Priests honestly aren't going to use every deity option. In fact it's fair to say that most War Priests (even with this proposed stance) would still exclusively remain Sylvanus, Vol, Lord of Blades, Undying Court, and or Silver Flame for those ranged players.

If you're going to be a War Priest you innately work with the assumption that your options are limited by support clauses. Maul's have the bonus threat range, Vol has Vistani, Greatswords have eSoS (and now Blackrazor), Undying Court has scimitar threat range, and Silver Flame is getting ranged attacks per this pass.

After that you need to take in account named weapons for each type: Sickles only have one endgame DPS option, that's level 24, meaning your DPS will be awful at Cap and frankly Olladra's level 6 ability isn't great for any DPS build. Amaunator has synergy with Scourge Aasimar but again that's extremely niche due to the lack of named DPS weaponry. I suppose Onatar and Warhammers are nice; but War Priest has no tactics based abilities so the level ability is a bit of a wash. I can go on and on about the bad options and why this scaling wouldn't work.

Ultimately the situation is that nothing save an extensive loot and scaling system designed around the unoptimal choices will fix the non-boosted religious weapons.

Adding a light damage imbue effect for all deity weapons would be fine. However; scaling should follow the original war domain proposal.

Give all one handed weapons the 1d10 base damage; or subsequently increase each of them by 2 base. In the case of Bastard Swords give them 2d10 base. Make each die increase a rank of the Righteous Weapons line. Then add 2-5MP at each rank there isn't a die increase. For instance, daggers will need 3 ranks to hit 1d10 and will only gain 2-5MP on the fourth rank, where-as scimitars will get there after 2 ranks and will instead gain 4-10MP, warhammers gain 6-15MP. For two handers make their base die go up to 3d10. Maul's will take 2 ranks then gain 4-10mp, Greatswords would need 3 and gain 2-5MP, same for staves.

This means all of the weapon options become viable and attractive, while some gain the raw damage advantage from more melee power. Additional desirability then comes from crit profiles or rather, the availability of named loot. While you still might not see an Olladra War Priest running about, you have the ability to do such without completely gimping yourself compared to running as is.

I like the look of this proposal. I would like to go more for "If you hit for 5[1d10+2]+80 physical damage; hit for (5[1d10+2]+80)*Weapon Stance Multiplier light damage." Where the physical scales with melee power and the light damage scales with spellpower. Depending on what's easier to implement.

I think it's totally reasonable balancing around war domain, favored weapon feats and available trees in "common" splits like you've done. Even if this doesn't bring the power level of sickles up to that of mauls (because it won't); but it will help close the gap; which is a good thing.

It would be even cooler if this suggestion was combined with the one above giving different elements based on deity. But that might be getting too optimistic.

[DeltaBravo]

I like the changes most of em anyways.

I would really really love to see divine might on clerics work the same as on FVS. I think that would be easy to put in the tree aswell.

Over all i think the core abilitys are too weak on the cleric. If you want clerics to be more defensive give em more healing amp, drop the light and and fire spell power. if you think adding +10HAMP or so is too much. More PRR in the core ability would also be great. then drop sanctuary buff. its to slow to cast, maybe ajust add a passive +10 prr or so in that core. If you then really feel like inflame and such is so important for the tree. put that into a core ability instead and put the SLA , blur and haste in the tier abilitys. You also said divine might is to power full to be a tier 1. i sadly agree. So that might be a good swap in for a core ability instead.

With a 90 sec cooldown on inflame and only a 30 sec buff. i dont see that usefull at all anymore. Specially when you removed it as a action boost wich was usefull for alot of activeing, specially for multiclass builds.

I think it very fair that FVS gets the crit range when cleric do have the option to go war domain.

Changeing the tree from what it is now to what you have planned.. will only benefit me with +10 double strike as you will still get more DPS if you go all in on harper tree.

In short. Change the bonuses on the core abilitys. sawp some of the cores with the tiers. and bring the same Divine might to clerics as FVS have,. and you will have a very nice and well balanced war priest tree.

Consecrate Weapon
The weapon in your main hand, if you are proficient with it, is now considered a Favored Weapon of your deity until you unequip it

Or at least have it be a multi-selector like Kensei where you can add a Favored weapon group.

Otherwise I can see a situation where WP just becomes a splash to get Smite/Ameliorating Strike as a self-healing complement for other builds (Warlocks and Barbs spring to mind)

Someone suggested something like this on page 2 or 3?, making the favored weapon a multi selector, and one of the devs already responded saying it was a good idea, but one that was basically impossible. That favored weapon is tied to race intrinsicly, (Because it came from a bygone era, deep deep DEEP in the deepest depths of DDO's code) and to undo that change now, would require rewritting a combination of weapons, divines, and races, all at once together.

To put that into perspective, it took them literal years to get the manpower together to pull handwraps out of that deep pool and rewrite them for today's game. One weapon. No races. No classes. Years. - Hence "Basically impossible"

[SpardaX]

Personally, I'm going to +1 the ideas of:

an AA style "Fire / Light / Alignment" 1d4 or 1d6 or 1d8 element thing to work in with the Favored weapons

And / Or

A Swashbuckler style Favored Weapon "Pick me Up" to bring whatever weapon you get more in line with what the cool kids consider to be "Base line level"

[painkiller3]

Divine Power remains at 2AP. It now also grants a +1 Competence bonus to Critical Multiplier with weapons.

so where would a 20 WF/Bladeforged melee FVS stand in the DPS hierarchy? below a barbarian I would think, and even with ESOS I think the 12 cleric/6 fighter/2x silvanus would be more dps. thoughts on the revival of a 20 WF Bladeforged? there is a lot of stuff to like in this tree, but I can't see a FVS being in the front row in endgame content. maybe I just don't have enough imagination

[elvesunited]

I suppose the best question to ask would be how does the

pure 20 cleric warpriest ( going tier 5 in warpriest )
or
pure 20 favored war soul ( going tier 5 in war soul )

compare to the more common cleric warrior

12- 14 level cleric / favored soul
6 - 8 level fighter ( going tier 5 in kensei )

Are they remotely competitive?

No, not with the favored weapon choices we have today. If the tree was not tied to favored weapons I could see a possibility (though the splash with fighter would likely still be better due to better defenses) but with it locked behind favored weapons the only one that comes close would be a silvanus cleric, but even then a splashed silvanus cleric would still be far superior.

The overall reason isn't the weapons particularly, though they certainly don't help as only Silvanus and Vol are competitive and that's simply due to them being propped up from crits and Vistani being built around daggers.

The reason pure isn't going to compete is due to how terrible the War Priest/Soul cores are for combat builds and the tree isn't very offensively oriented compared to others. The 18 and 20 completely lack any ability to make up for cores 1, 3, and 6 of Kensai, Vanguard, or even Stalwart. In general none of the cores come competitively close to any of the other DPS trees in the game. As War Priest/Soul is arguably defensive: Each core gives +2 AC and +5 spell lore. As of this proposal some of the active abilities in this tree are going to be using melee power now. However nothing in this proposal provides melee power for scaling those abilities. Let's break down why the 6-8 fighter split is arguably king.

• Core 1 is really just +1 hit/damage not a big deal.
• Core 3 however is important. Spritual Bond gives you +1 Insightful Enhancement Bonus to your weapon on a vorpal for 20s, and stacks up to 10 based on your cores. I'm not sure what the maximum stackage is for this build, but we can assume it'll be atleast 3 possibly more. This bonus stacks with Righteous Weapons from War Priest/Soul. So this is increasing DPS substantially more in the case of a War Soul due to Articles of Faith; meaning you get a smidge of spellpower out of this bonus.
• Core 6 is crit damage multiplier. Something currently no War Priest/Soul is innately gaining from their tree. It also adds 3% doublestrike/shot.
• Other benefits include: Fortification reduction, + hit/dam, active attacks, melee power boosts, execution attacks (useful for epics and reaper), +1 threat range, and centering which is useful for monk splits or running GMoF.
• Final major benefit is 4 bonus feats (5 if 8 levels of fighter)

This is of course merely the offensive portion of things. You can still pick up Stalwart Defense stance for all of the defensive goodies and 20% HP for cheap. Which all combines as to why the Fighter multiclass is going to beat out the pure. Since Haste as a spell and Implacable Foe aren't nearly as powerful combined or even separate.

Overall the tree needs a facelift for DPS purposes. The 1d10 favored weapon buff I suggested, or the more promising Light Damage AA style imbue others suggested would help a lot in bringing up the overall damage of the tree and making the favored weapons line useful. But I don't think most changes proposed will stop or encourage people to play pure over multiclass. And I wouldn't want to see anything like the AA stance get completely tied to class levels despite being a purist proponent.

[edrein]

New Core 3 Stance to help round up the tree's DPS. Make it count as a defensive stance and non-stackable with Swashbuckling. Allow rage to work while active.

Warrior's Spirit: While active your positive energy spells and abilities receive a 50% spellpower penalty. However while wielding your Deity's weapon of course your base damage die is increased by one. This increases by one per core taken to a cap of 1d10 for one handed weapons, and 3d10 for two handed weapons. Bastard Swords increase to 2d10 and no further. Two handed weapons start at 1d10 if the base damage die is lower, otherwise it uses the weapon's innate stats.

This promotes staying relatively pure, while not punishing multiclass builds. This also increases the offensive nature of the tree without allowing an argument of self healing getting in the way of DPS potential.

Additionally, retrofit the Righteous Weapons line to work similar to an AA imbue.
