The main problem with RT is that it works as a damage "soft cap", if you don't find an alternate scaling option for an attack skill.

Just dont use RT. Its a Keystone supposed to get you started and drop it as soon as you can hence why i said its bad by design for "endgame". There is no reason to keep RT whit half decent gear level.

seconded, dont use RT for hit damage dealing build.

it is no longer 2013 when 'non-crit' was a valid choice. it no longer is - GGG made crit SO EASY to get that you have no excuse for not using it

RT no longer makes any sense to use for a hit based, non-slam build. DoTs? sure, but hit damage? only slams can do that - because you get your +150% more (coincidentally, the same effective multiplier crit builds get) from warcries

just drop it. RT strike skills is not a valid choice, havent been for years now. drop it, move on. even changes proposed here wont make RT 'auto pick' with how easy getting 35%+ pre-flask crit chance and nice multi.


oh and people would go crit with axes if they had.. crit axe like this.

axes just have highest base damage potential as they are the slowest. and for slams you need damage per hit, not per second


getting more damage avenues allows you to cherry pick the sources and in fact spend less on it as I explained before

I already like RT in PvP and would love to see it buffed.

Get at cha boy.

back when accuracy and crit chance was scarce RT made sense but nowadays both accuracy and crit are easy to get so there is little to no reason to get RT.

considering crit greatly increace damage output may be the solution would be to make RT olso offer a significant defensive buff like gain 1% damage taken reduction every 2000 eva and armor formula olso apply to elemental damage at 50% of its value.

"Hits always deal maximum damage" sounds really good right now.

29 of builds in HS SSF are using resolute technique, what are you smoking thinking that it needs a buff. SC SSF it is 15, HC trade it is 20%...
Just because in softcore you can sub defensive stats for crit and easily out scale it does not make it bad in general.

Sure in Softcore trade it is 4$ but that is still very respectable number for a single keystone. Doubt you can find too many keystone with higher usage.

Check again your filters pal, select players on lvl 95+ and not from lvl 79 since most of the time RT is just a leveling keystone.

It's obvious RT needs buff... for years now, but I like it out of nostalgy.

Hope GGG gives it some love soon.
