Affliction ranks

[dunehunter]

How do you think the current afflictions? I made a rank on each lvl of afflictions based on their performance on enemies(not on player party!!!)

 

Level 3:

Domination

Stunned/Paralyzed/Terrified

Blinded

Enfeebled

 

Comment: Domination is obviously the best CC in the game, as you not only disable one enemy, but also turn them against their own ally. Stunned/Paralyzed/Terrified are hard CCs so I put them in the same rank, Stunned -10 all defense, Paralyzed has 25% hit to crit convert, Terrified has -5 Resolve = -5 Deflection, -10 Will defense, all of them are decent. Blinded is ok for a lvl 3 affliction, not as good as the above 4, enfeebled is pretty ****ty imo because I don't see much difference between lvl 1 and lvl 3 one...

-----------------------------------------------------

Level 2:

Charmed

Dazed/Frightened

Weakened/Immobilized

Disoriented

 

Comment: Charmed is similar with Domination, best of all in this level. Dazed and Frightened are both very nice because Dazed almost disabled enemy DPSer while Frightened disable enemy casters. Weakened reduce enemy max health, but recieve less healing is less useful on enemy because enemy won't heal as hard as players do. Immobilized is good as a soft CC.

------------------------------------------------------

Level 1:

Distracted/Sicken

Hobble/Staggered/Shaken

Confused

 

Comment: Distracted gives -5 Acc, -10 Deflection to enemy, good enough for a lvl 1 affliction, Sicken reduce enemy max health which is also very good for lvl 1 affliction.  The rest is OK except Confused, It might be annoying on player, but is useless on enemies imo.

 

So overall, INT affliction has two of the best with one totally trash. STR and RES has both very nice lvl 3, 2 affliction, Perception and Con affliction is good at lvl 1, but is less awesome on lvl 2 and 3. All in one INT > STR/RES > DEX > CON/PER.

except all the enemies that are worth considering usually have high resistance or immunity to one or more affliction types.

so the "best" ones will vary depending on who you are fighting.
