So currently have 1302 Wardancer (dunno what spec yet) and 1414 ESO Striker which is more easier to take to 1445+ and also easiest to play to 1520+ ?
Playing a eso wardancer myself, i would say this class is one of the hardest to level up. Almost every skill is super low range and has really long cooldown. On top Eso WD is a heavy burst playstyle where you deal 95% of your dmg in 6 seconds of roar + winds whisper uptime. Her playstyle get´s easier once she has relic set completed.
Striker is the more forgiving class.
ESO striker however will always be behind Death Blow, while ESO WD has higher dmg potential than FI WD (FI is a lot easier to play than ESO and can deal its dmg faster)
Both wardancer spec is stronger than Eso striker…So if you wanna pump go wardancer.
According to KR Eso striker celling is higher than DB but only on absurd gear lvl.
Wardancer is not cheap, both WD and Striker need weath runes. With WD you have many build options. You can always play 3spender Back attack FI or 3spender eso or 2spender or 1 spender there is endless posibilities. But please be prepare that WD has many issues that are simply old skill design and it shows. WD has mana issues and the better player you are on her the more you will face this problem. WD uses domfang set what is blessing and curse.
I play both WD (my main) and striker love em both but WD is just more fun and with Acient gear, switching to 3 spender haluc build will be glorious moment.
Wardancer Eso build that was used by Zeals on Trixion in Korea that did like 700 milion damage in 8 seconds was absurd i agree but the gameplay of this build is so stupid nobody plays it. Striker Deathblow is better and Wardancer FI is much better in terms of gameplay and fun from the build
DB striker and 3spender entropy have same problem.
And I agree that FI is much better, If they fixed WD mana issues FI would be most fun build to recommend. Its fast, It frontloads dmg, no need to wait if blast formation hits or not or if boss runs from your tornado, if you land your skill you deal max dmg. But playing 2piece of nightmare set only to not run out of mana is plain stupid, or requiring mana food. SMILEGATE somehow knew how to make striker to not run oom, they even made sure that Slayer wont go oom pepega like zerker does. But old classes dont get any love from them as long as they are bearable playable. We wont get zerker treathment with “oh new class is female version so they will revisit zerker skills and make it not suck” Cuz we already have Striker ![]()
I play 6 Dom and use the Mana tripod on Whisper.
Except on guardians i dont run oom. Since you always have mech downtimes in Legion Raids. All of that whilst keeping my uptime. Granted i dont have lvl. 10 CD gems.
From what ive seen people are a bit trigger heavy on skyshattering blow for some reason. Even though it should only be used on counters or in sub rotations (Exploding EC or extra FHF).
Eventually i want to Swap to 2 Entropy - 4 Dom once brel hard releases.
