Now that we have the new blessing rework out, what are your thoughts on blessings? The patch note shows notes that are slightly different from what I remember seeing on the TC notes about 2 weeks back.
I am a little conflicted on what to use. Some of it is fairly straight forward, but a lot of the heroes I use are hybrid and am not quite sure which way to go. Many of my heroes are a hybrid of melee/range and looks like I may have to settle for one type of damage and settle for it. Below are the new blessing stats.
So what do you guys think? Hogu/Loki for hybrid melee/range heroes or still Hela?
Blessings are now broken up into three major categories: Offensive, Defensive, and Utility.
All Blessings in the Offensive category will have Brutal Rating as a primary affix, as well as a secondary offensive affix:
Blessing of Frigga
+15% Summoned Ally Damage
+200 Brutal Strike Rating
Blessing of Hela
+400 Brutal Strike Rating
+400 Brutal Damage Rating
Blessing of Hogun
+200 Brutal Strike Rating
+300 Melee Damage Rating
Blessing of Loki
+200 Brutal Strike Rating
+300 Ranged Damage Rating
All Blessings in the Defensive category will have 1% Damage Negation as a primary affix, as well as a secondary defensive affix:
Blessing of Fandral
+1% Damage Negation
+1,000 Dodge Rating
Blessing of Heimdall
+1% Damage Negation
+1,000 Deflect Rating
Blessing of Volstagg
+1% Damage Negation
+1,000 Defense Rating
All Blessings in the Utility category will have both Health and Damage Rating as primary affixes, as well as a third utility affix:
Blessing of Balder
+200 Health
+200 Damage Rating
+50 Spirit
Blessing of Sif
+200 Health
+200 Damage Rating
-4% Spirit Cost
There will be a single uncategorized Blessing - Odin, the All-Father - that grants bonus damage versus bosses, and additionally grants +1 to all Attributes if your hero equips one Blessing from each of the three categories:
Blessing of Odin
+3% Damage to Bosses
If you have an Offensive Blessing, Defensive Blessing and Utility Blessing equipped, gain +1 to all Attributes for 10 seconds when you use any power
My Blade's TTK (updated):
Hela Blessing: 3:35s
Hogun Blessing:
Will need more testing, but with my Blade setup, Hela still seems to be better. It could be because Blade inherently has high brut build. both Hela and Hogun seems to be fairly close to each other. With Hogun Blessings I get around 51% brut chance and with Hela I get around 52%. A very high diminishing return it seems. More then the blessings, Omega procs and buffs seemed to play a bigger role on my overall TTK.
