Dancing Blade versus Erinye

Question: Dancing Blade (active bonus)

Why Dancing Blade active bonus at Epic is only 5% Critical Severity when Erinyes and Cambio are both at 10% ??
They all start at rare quality too.

It should be 5%/10% instead of 3%/5%.

dancing blade was released first and has been around since (or near) release. the active bonus was added to it when mod 2 was released. the erinyes is from mod 4 when SW was released and the power creep was really hitting it's stride and as such they made it good so people would spend zen to get the SW pack.

eryines and cambion are promotion (cost more cash) and sword is attainable more easily in game

it don't change the fact that it should have the same active bonus. And there's other case but they have the same bonus.

No it shouldn't. This pay to win at it's best. you pay cash for pack you get account wide severity pet. you want sword you grind lockbox.

The packs and zen promotions almost without exception have superior pets to other sources: dire wolf, eryines, sylph for example.

the reason is obvious, and saying it 'shouldn't be', wont change simple economics.

No offense, but calling it p2w isn't exactly accurate, I put no money into my SW pack, in fact I remember grinding AD and buying zen bit by bit to get this pack. This game at least offers an alternative to paying cash for things, which allows us frugal people to stay competitive... just with a lot more work involved. *rolls up sleeves and waits for something else to buy*

I kinda get the point, but i also want feywild/hero pack for zen. QQ

I have also bought hunter/sw packs for ad (after zax). Tho Dancing blade having only 5% is a joke, especialy, since for 1750k ad u have accound bound 5%, while to get 5% from Dancing Blade in first place, u need to spend 1450k in total, for 1 toon (i did this on liek 3 toons, i wish i could get those ad back). Thats quite painfull. If Dancing Blade would get introdcued after erynias, i would think its option only for those who want max out. But Dancing blade was first.

If they wanted it to be weaker, they would have simply made the Dancing Blade green or made the Erinyes purple, like they usually do in similar situations.

I'm guessing this was just an oversight.
