Thats how I used to kill brutus on shadow. Pro tip: let freeze pulse + FT level.

Devs should have had a "summer is coming" banner up as pre-season "hype".

Is there a single class that doesnt start with at least one of this sword now? Its bis for the entire race for half the cast and it looks like even ranger is best off with a pair of them running firetrap/reave until shortbow. Can only imagine its a complete lack of internal testing that lets such balance blunders make it into the game time and again.

Only real weakness of those swords is brutus, and its not hard to have a switch ready for that one early battle.

Yeah, Scion does not start with them. I've tried making it work, but no results. But there's like 50 descent champs this season so flameblast will drop eventually.

I ran scion today and went with my previous seasons corroded+hat combo as i didnt think the huge firetrap and frenzy charges would make up for the much weaker st, seems i was right then? Or were you trying to run the summers through the entire event?

Bro, ranger never even gets fire trap.

Pretty sure its reave (LOL) into cleave (LOOOOL) into short bow with RoA.

Yes, the plan was to run the summers trough everything. Idk why you'd ever replace them outside of finding something really good for grav. You would also have to make up for prismatic sockets, and good luck with that.
