Rainmaker Eddie (Assassin Type)

[Sag7272]

I wouldn't count on any changes for him recently as the devs apparently "buffed" him recently... such a waste of 32 skill shards.

You would be surprised, team was more receptive than you may think about those adjustments..

actually 32 skill shards for him is a joke, i'm waiting for a new rainmaker since a long time

He don't have to be new... Just a buff like when VHE passed from laughing stock to a monster, wasn't much was just what's needed... If he can permakill even just to go with his look it'd already be that lol

Good to hear, usually when I suggest something they give me the cookie cutter response. However, I did suggest a buff to Cyborg Eddie's Scan and now it's in the patch notes so maybe they do listen

They do listen... When it's in their agenda to buff a toon or when his useage stats are real low, unless played manually you can't even reliably PvE... Been months since I haven't used him in the arena, in more than a year there's only one meta where he was useful in PvP & it was tricky.. He's way overdue for some love in the opinion of many..if not everyone in a form or another it will happen someday it's inevitable

Yeah they REALLY need to make it worthwhile if you've invested all those. As it stands.. 32 SS and a character I never use because it never really got much better with the SS applied. Had I known going in.. Rainmaker would have been just before XMas Eddie on my "to skill shard" list. So many wasted skill shards...... sigh.....

To me.. he needs more base health..... really if he maxed at 10K HP rather than 6K he'd be WAY more useful.

The last time I had fun with rainmaker, his special stats were still ridiculously high. Back when you could just use his fury every turn. As much as I dislike all the character tuning, I’d welcome any positive changes to this guy.

The new buffs being added are going to make him unstoppable.

Is it worth to spend the shards on him? What do you mean with "new" buffs? The new Eclipse talisman?


Edit: found it...you mean the July tuning, right?

I am running max sharded as champ now, you are my trooper and can test drive him as is and after July buff-date to evaluate. Lotsa shards but really kicks wss with right support in arena. Destroys the ever present Prisoner with Primordials. His performance with Shroud is ok, but once removed buff he is weak and easily done. Balance with Guard tals building fury and adding much needed hp and Assassin set increasing attack&magic by substantial amount he runs nice. Boost yellow tals with plus 25% of hi fury also good with him. I am pleased, although currently no way top arena contender without update buffs.

Yes, that's what I meant.
