Iron Skin:Flash solves some of the defense and mobility issues. Shield Bearer’s repeat casting and Unrelenting Phalanx’s doubling of Avatars are a big part of the problem.įrom a build standpoint, Shield Bearers is good because you don’t need to equip Condemn on the skill bar. Still the play experience isn’t good because of the lag. I was surprised to see Shield Bearers slip through like this – this build is not something to ever bring into a group unless you’re the sole dps and have a zBarb to keep you from dying. Between recent set updates and the season theme, preventing lag in games doesn’t seem to be a priority. Even 8 Bowmen can make certain pulls really rough. The lag on this set is harsh in solo games. I had a mostly typed reply in draft that I never got a chance to post. The Akkhan set needs a solid 25% damage mitigation boost, plain and simple. Yes, it does okay vs density, but is absolutely and unforgivably vulnerable vs Rift Guardians and even solo yellow elites. For all its superior damage, Phalcon A6 is a miserable wet paper bag in the defense department.That could easily be solved by adding a summon cost to Bowmen. Also, since Bowmen do not have a resource cost to summon, they do not proc the Focus/Restraint (F/R) rings and, thus, can not be used with those. By contrast, Phalanx Bowmen seem to have only one-unit-at-a-time coding, making them actually too weak.

Again, reducing the number of summoned Phalanxes to two would likely solve the problem. The multiple units of Phalanx Shield Bearers create an insane amount of damage output, which makes GR 150 an inevitable outcome rather than a genuine challenge.Those in turn create lag spikes galore! My suggested solution would be to reduce the maximum number of Phalanx spawns to no more than two at a time. Reducing it further would help remove the processor/graphics card overload.ī) Phalanx/Shield Bearers can be spammed to create a multitude of Avatars. The reason is two-fold:Ī) The flash effect from Condemn explosions is still quite pronounced. Lag spikes! Those are caused by Phalanx w/Shield Bearers rune.Let’s look at those issues now and fixes that would solve them: The issues which the build has can be fixed easily!.I definitely give the build overall my thumbs up! While this is a subjective opinion, the build requires constant attention to the battlefield and an engaged Harnor is a happy Harnor.
