any1 is thinking about destini for it? atm only good dps ed is fury and you cant go fury with adrenaline in stalwart
Both of these are wrong. LD is also good dps, and gmof is solid. You can absolutely go adrenaline-fury without raging, it's a good option. You can also just not go stalwart, because stalwart's. not a DPS tree.

The elemental damage in this tree isn't attractive for R10s when elemental damage is reduced to 10.6%, compared to 15.6% for other damage types.
I thought I heard that all imbues were being affected by that reduction atm—do you know if that's true (specifically for light damage, e.g. pally imbue)

If Macro ED had stripping in the tier 4 would of been so good for so many under powered classes but typical ssg

So, do you need two other pieces for the +3 artifact strength?

dire charge -> instakill?
Dire Charge applies Sunder to the targets it connects with. The capstone instakills targets that are Sundered. So yes, Dire Charge = instakill a pack of mobs. Assuming Dire Charge targeting actually works for you. Targeting+movement has been wonky since it was first introduced as an epic feat.

Does the capstone strikethrough for aoe instagib?

After looking through the proposed archetype, i'm honestly impressed. It definitely needs a bit of toning down from initial numbers (+2 crit multi all the time is too strong). I guess my main question really is why the hell is this a fighter archetype and not a sorc archetype.... because it's Dragon Disciple Sorcerer with a few flavor texts and str instead of cha.

DL capstone doesn't strike though. Dire Charge affects all nearby foes.

Dire Charge: (Melee Attack): Epic Strike: Deals +20% Damage. Rush forward at the targeted foe, attacking it and all nearby foes. They must also make a Fortitude save or be Sundered. Sunder DC is (20 + highest ability score + bonus to Stun attacks).

Dragon Lord will be a powerhouse on hardcore.
I really hope that this „HC on pause“ will move on… and not falls down to all the superduper exciting new things that brings us fun, joy, qol..
Oh, wrong thread.. but yes, i would like to play this one in a hc season.

Cool:)

Wonder if you can consider giving us a choice to either take the Draconic aura feat or just the extra fighter feat.

I was hoping the instakill might strike through, like other tactical abilities. Ah well, wishful thinking.

I'm running around the Isle of Dread explorer area, using only Stunning Blow, Improved Trip (Fury), and Improved Sunder (Feat) and I can't get Draconic Might to regenerate charges.

Barbarian Rage also seems to prevent Dragon's Roar from working. Is this intentional?

I spent a bit of time in the dojo testing Sunder the Soul with Direcharge. As far as I can tell, Sunder the Soul will not proc off of the Direcharge Sunder. It has to be sunder/improved sunder to proc it. It is a cleave attack, and will instakill multiple enemies though which is nice.
