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:
Hela Blessing: 3:35s
Hogun Blessing: 4:16s
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.
