Some very disappointing info about BI enchants/gear procs.

The 800 stat increase from the major corrupt enchants slowly increases over 10 seconds and at 8 seconds is gone immediately, so you will never see the full potential of the stat bonus (you get the max "tic for less then a second, so you probably wont even get an attack off with that bonus). This is compounded because BI gear even at max does not have the stats of profound gear (atleast for TR)

The profound enchants, the stat bonus works the same as above, and the temp hp are effected by healing depression so you get 2250 temp hp, but because of poor stat allocation you're likely to lose some hp in switching to BI gear.

With corrupt daggers/armor, and 2 overload enchants I would get maybe one proc between all four inside of a 1-1.5 min fight. They likely all have an ICD that is too high. All in all, those whole mod is a bust (for TR's atleast).

Also, at max lvl the corrupt weapons have much less stats then Fomorian, and less weapon damage too. The proc does not in any way make up for this.

/extremely unsatisfied with BI gear

Here's my stat comparison I did before tier 3 came out

    I tried out the Purified Armor for HR with the Corrupt Weapon set. I pugged a couple matches. It wasn't all that bad, but I was fairly unimpressed. We'll see after a run a bit more.

    the weapon enchants are front load proccing, which is somewhat useful. So there must be an icd, testing AOE's, it has never procced on more then one target. IMO Definately an ICD. but it's long. Not getting a second proc even after sitting on a dummy for 45 sec holding down at wills.

    So the gear is not OP, I think that's a good thing for the health of the game. But I'm not sure what the OP is talking about, the BI gear has more total stats.

    So the ICD for weapon and armor is atleast 1 minute? any more info would be good.

    Before everyone gets upset, we didn't get to test this gear before today, and if we didn't test it. That means they for dang sure didn't test it at all. We all have seen the Dev's testing out tenacity gear and getting beat 1000 to 0 in pvp. So their pvp mindset is honestly not there, and that is fine. They are more PVE focused. So lets give them a few weeks, months, years to soak in all of the criticism and then see which random forum post about how it should be fixed for PVE is the "most important" and then we'll see if those "fixes" turn out for the better.

    All in, we knew this was going to happen. So it's hard to be disappointed when you never get your hopes up about anythign that they do lol.

    Currently the dmg proc on BI weapon is broken, does proc 1 time at the start of combat then not again till you exit and re enter combat. Complete waste.

    I would also like to see if the defensive procs work in pvp, like the ring/belt/neck proc. Does it go off BI dmg only or cold too? I don't know why cryptic makes its players do post launch beta testing on all their ****. So frustrating and destroys a lot of faith in their competency too.

    Just finished my Xvim set and started testing it on my GWF, the proc % is almost 100% and it ends at 15 stacks pretty reliably.

    Unfortunately the proc suffers from a very long (3-5 minutes) ICD that will render this set a novelty and nothing more. Maybe useful for leveling new toons or something, but that's it.

    So, a free healing potion every 5 min is all what the Xvim set does?

    I wasn't planning on using the full sets anyway, they seem a bit over/underrated for being "t3" gear, some of the pieces have exeptionally good stats but it doesn't make up for the other pieces having stupid stats / the 4 set bonus isn't as useful as you would think by reading the tooltip

    CRAZY MIKE - 14.6k PvE CW

    Backbone - 16.7k PvP HR

    im disapointed, so much farm,dailys for a set that has timer on it and doesnt even worth it.

    hope Devs ill look into proc rates or atlast remove Decay from it.

    Anyone know if you have two purified overflow enchants in, can you get the buff twice and have double the temp HP from it?

    BI armour (with the dps set for GF being an exception) is pretty much just for IWD, with no intended usefulness outside that zone.

    As such I will only do what I need for my boons, and ignore the pointless grind for it.

    Seems kind of dumb since by the time you can make all the armor, you don't need to go to the zone anymore...

    If the armor was intended to help with the zone they should've given us access to it early, not at the very end of the grind.

    Yep. It seems the entire mini-campaign was not thought through. All that time for a sub-par set of armor and weapons that are no longer viable.

    Crushing my dreams, I tell you.

    I'm pretty sure the overload enchants carry at least a 30 second CD on them. I've been behind on my campaign (thanks business travel), so I haven't been able to test out a full 4-piece set.

    But my hopes aren't very high for it. I remember getting somewhat excited for the Dread Legion 3 piece bonus...until I parsed it and say it was a 0.5% increase in total damage.

    I hate to break it to you, but you're playing an MMO. All those days are wasted, essentially ;)
