I've been saying something about the armed buffs for a long time now myself, glad someone took sometime to bring out issues in full.

ATM even with an excessive DR build[19.8% resting + Eshield for 49.8% and Conjurer(yes my dmg suffers a bit due to this but such is the trade)] its hard to approach or try to combo armed without taking an excess amount of dmg in the trade off. It's dmg values are truly something else atm across 3 spells alone 2 of which make it to any and all armed builds[Fatal and Psmash] allowing them to outtrade for free basically as the cds are low and theyll come up in their rotation long before any other spell type.

like at least Shadowdive with its buff still has a superlong CD to where its rewarding for landing but gives that ample window to approach and punish.

Fatal on average is 14-16 seconds of CD after CDR reductions....deals a total of 22 md overtime 18 upfront.

I still think 2 md can be reduced off those 2 spells and the tree would still be more than rewarding.
