Although a few smaller problems spring up thanks to the new design, I'm still confident in stating that Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce is one of the best KOEI games I've ever played and goes far beyond developer Omega Force's previous efforts. I've played several KOEI games on the PSP before, but Strikeforce isn't just a watered-down port - this is a multiplayer-focused affair that actually fixes several issues I have with the franchise as a whole. Imagine my surprise, then, when I got my hands on Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce, the latest Dynasty Warriors title developed exclusively for Sony's portable. Although minor details change from one iteration of the franchise to the next, most of my qualms with the series remain the same: the games have overly-simple combat, bland environments and feel unrewarding. Its defenetly possible to play Raging Blow build with all the buffed Bloodthirst talents and Odins Fury.As the 'Default Dynasty Warriors Reviewer' here at IGN, I've been spending time with a good number of KOEI's well-known button-mashers, including the recently released Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2. Here is what some half decent M+ talents would look like:īgEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAChIoEARQISQUgEiARSIBJRSSIJSSIRKpFiESEAAAAEE But il let the theory crafters figure it out. I might add, that with the reduction of Odins Fury CD, you might also want to forgoe Onslaught and Unbrigleted Ferocity for Ravager instead. And in your rotation, you literally cast Bloodthirst on CD, but continue with the normal Raging Blow + Rampage rotation. To get those talents, you might have to let go of some of the “raging blow has 2 charges” talents and Ravager. So if you really want to play with Raging Blow build, the only 2 “required” talents are: Bloodcraze and Daft Experience.

So now, both Annyalator build AND raging blow build have the same bloodthirst, with the same CD. Which is Point A but the other way arround. That would mean that immediately the ONLY viable build is the raging blow one.ī) They nerfed the CD of Bloodbath (empowered Bloodthirst with Reckless Abandon talent) because that would make the Annialator build have Bloodthirsts with no CD. Because:Ī) If they do, Bloodthirst has a CD, while Raging Blow does not (it technically does, but with so many “refund a charge” talents it does not). They cant implement the changes you want. WE GAIN SINGLE TARGET DAMAGE BUT WE LOSE OUR AOE POTENTIAL, OUR M+ DAMAGE IS NOWHEREĮDIT 2: IT’S LITERALLY HIGHER DAMAGE TO GO WITHOUT TIER SET AND PLAY OUR CURRENT BUILD IN M+ as currently it feels really wack, and it’s like someone just rushed into making this tier-set without thinking about it. What is everyone’s opinion on this? especially people who have played it on PTR. Or just buff the damage of odyn’s fury to make up for the loss of ravager, onslaught (insane rampage damage due to slaughtering strikes), and anger management, we cannot cooldown on a short period anymore at the moment and odyn’s doesn’t really make one happy. This way there is choice in builds and it doesn’t require us to play reckless abandon and thus removing the need for spamming bloodbath.

Honestly my opinion is, re-work the 4-set bonus of the tier.Ĭhange the 4-set so that it’s not required to spam bloodthirst to reduce the CD of Odyn’s fury but rather increase the critical strike chance and damage of Odyn’s fury per X amount of Bloodthirst / Onslaught / Ragingblow usages. And the build is absolutely the worst of the worst for mythic+, the damage output is absolutely nowhere when it comes to dungeons compared to other classes and specs. This tier forces us into one build specifically. Currently the tier-set for fury forces us into one build specifically with reckless abandon + Annihilator, mainly using Bloodbath + Rampage + Slam + WW.
