So I just wanted to give a quick feedback about stacking the Saint Oath armor ichors buff.
I would say it’s quite unfair. The skill Divine Stigma of Krivis easily applies it without any effort and keeps it on for full uptime. As I heard maybe PD can do the same.
Zealot has 0 skills that can apply it. Druid…is similar (idk if seed bomb can now) For example I really don’t understand what’s the difference between Thorn and Divine Stigma mechanically that lets you apply it with Stigma and not with Thorn. How is Stigma not a continuous damage debuff? Why is Emphatic Trust is considered as continous?
Smite+Aspergillum applies it. I’m well aware of that but if you rly know chaplain you will understand that it is a damage loss while you are applying it. After that keeping up with just 1-1 smite can work but not every time. Just try this amazing weekly boss Asio mage…you will more likely lose the stacks and you can then start it from scratch if you even realised it in time… while what does Krivis do? Nothing really… just pushes a button that he would anyway.
Also as I mentioned in another topic don’t forget that krivis is meta anyway… It’s just so unfair that classes that are not meta atm have to struggle even more on little things like this.
I don’t want to take away the stigma stacking from Krivis tho. I want other classes to be able to stack it too more easily.
Solutions:
I guess there are a lot of different options.
-erase those ridiculous restrictions about magic circles and continous damage ( I think this one is what would be needed tbh… )
or
-reducing the stacks needed can help
or
-make the buff even longer
or
-make Smite give more stacks or something
Idk btw how it is on other type of AA classes on other trees and how much it affects them but it’s not good on Cleric imo.
