Stone Giant: What Changed and How Is It?

Показать описание
In Harrowstorm PTS patch 5.3.0, Stone Giant has been updated to this weird 2-part spammable move. How does this play out for stamina Dragonknights and Dragonknight tanks?

For stamDKs, the move itself still seems to be a decent spammable. In my brief tests, it pulled the highest DPS out of the three spammables I tested. It's definitely clunkier than it was and is a bit awkward to use, but it still works well as a spammable. For tanks, this change makes it difficult, but not impossible, to use for the Stagger debuff. You're ultimately using 1 extra cast for the same amount of stacks, but the cast time does mean you have to be a bit more tactical with it.

Generally speaking, I'd probably say that stamDKs can still use this as a spammable, but tanks will have a trickier time maintaining the full Stagger debuff. Again, not impossible, but definitely more difficult than it was before.

"Of all the iterations of Stone Giant over the years, this is certainly the most... recent" - t3hasiangod, 2020, paraphrased

I'm not sure I like the cast time on the initial part of Stone Giant; I feel like it would occasionally cause delays during bash or weapon swap cancels. I hope they drop the cast time on the PTS.

Either get rid of cast time or the charges should be 50% cost or free. No reason for cast time to be there.

Since you are at range and i cant tell from the Video: does the AoE aply stagger already?

Anything with a cast time means it should do higher damage.

Could you test the new warden crit dmg increase on a typical magden build? Tracking the chilled uptime with only winters revenge and frost glyphs etc.? Just curious how much of a buff it actually is

would you recommend stam sorc or stam dk as a dd in 4 man dungeon?

Not sure this even requires a video but that Glacial Presence passive change...is that a flat crit bonus to enemies or to chilled enemies?
