What do you think is the most damaging armor enchantment?

quitegonejin

The title says it all. But what I mean is which enchantment for your armour as a TR would do the most amount of damage to enemies and still be useful. I am getting extremely tired of soul forged and it barely ever procs for me now that I am beginning to not rely on ITC and stealth.

Briar seems great vs permas, or maybe fire.

Between briar, fire, frost, thunder, and bloodtheft I wonder which one does more damage....

Briartwine is the only one that doesn't come saddled with an internal cooldown, no?

So you mean you too tired playing against player that are significantly underkilled/undergeared than you.

The solution is called drop your R10s and artifacts start playing with R5s.

NO?

true. But I'm more inclined to go with burst dmg or annoyance factor or tankiness (bark) over chip damage. Else I'd be bilepermasnoozefest.

Why do people waste time with such pointlessly stupid replies? Not even redeeming as a funny troll response...

I agree with the OP... I used soulforge early on, but grew to hate the idea that it was doing absolutely nothing for me 99.9% of time time I was wearing it. Then when it would pop for me, it seemed like for every 1 time it saved my bacon, there were 10 other times that I just died again, because I rarely lost in a 1v1 situation, it was almost always a 1v2+.

I am curious about the effectiveness of the offensive armor enchants as well, I've stuck with the defensive ones (Elven, negation, & Barkshield) & have been happy.

I'll tell you what not to wear if you want damage, Thunderhead. Deals 250 AoE lightning damage.

I wish I had a way of testing them all.

rustlord

Haha I had the opportunity to wear a Perfect Frostburn once...or was it Frost...whatever, the armor one that's spiky and looks mighty awesome! It's the best fashion enchantment. It goes well with cleric dyes and Icewind merchant attire.

quitegonejin

For that particular purpose I like the Elven battle one the best. It's too bad it never worked. It's also funny to see that people are still selling the perfects that do nothing on the auction house all the time. What was the damage on the frost one?

rustlord

I don't remember precisely. It was in the low hundreds.

valencay

Why don't you try them on preview? I'm pretty confident that in your guild ther are some perf version of them

Wait so you think OP's topic is really legit? OP is so good that his soulforged never pops, how many TRs here can claim such thing? Who actually have the skill to back it up?

My reply actually are extremely productive, since the real problem OP has is not FINDING A NEW ENCHANTMENT, it is the fact that he is TOO SKILLED for his enemy, in that case a really easy way to balance it is to lower your gear, so it takes you more effort to play.

It is like why they make the alphabet order on keyboard completely random just to slow down how fast people can type because there wasn't any other way to improve the typing mechanic.

If you call this pointless stupid you are either trolling or you are dumb. Prove me wrong if you have more thoughts.

You misinterpreted what I said (and meant) in order to solidify your insulting post as something other then what it is. What I meant was I feel like SF is underused and over-appreciated and would like to openly discuss other options on a more offensive play-style.

I would ask if you can communicate without belittling... but in looking at your post history, you seem to thrive on it (20+/day every single one insulting people). My advice to others, do not acknowledge people such as this.

My last comment to you; insult/flame/say what you will, I'll not be responding to you henceforth, as I believe it is time to move on to the productive conversations and not waste my efforts elsewhere.

todesfaelle

Briartwine is probably the best damaging armor enchantment for Deflect/Reflect Combat TRs (or any other class for that matter) because it doesn't have an ICD, but I wouldn't wish to rely on an armor enchantment in order to deal a minute amount of extra damage when Soulforged/Barkshied can bring more to the table. I like the idea, but there are very limited ways to improve it right now.

On the topic of Elven Battle, has someone tested if it works against Roar? Roar is technically an Immobilize. At most we can reduce its duration by 150% with Greater Elven (since perfect is bugged) if it can reduce its duration.

rustlord

EB would in theory reduce the duration of *ROAR* by 1/1+1.5 ... 60% duration reduction. I'd like to hear about practical results too if anybody gets to test it out.

quitegonejin

I had one at one time but roar wasnt such an issue back then so I cannot recall how well it worked against it. Too bad. And yeah, likely I would get mroe mileage out of bark. I was (sadly) hoping for other options is all.
