- - - - I wasn't interested in this set until I saw the DAMAGE! Tooltip for the first portion of the damage is around 20k+ over 5 seconds. Pairs great with Dark Convergence and the new Orpheon monster set. Using this exact setup on my Necro and it rips!!

Monster Mask – Orpheon the Tactician

2 – While in combat, casting an ability that leaves an effect on the ground summons a tentacle at the target’s location. After 2 seconds, the tentacle swings wildly in a 5 meter radius, dealing Physical Damage and stunning up to 6 enemies for 3 seconds. Enemies immune to stun take significantly more Physical Damage instead. This effect can occur every 8 seconds and scales off the higher of your Weapon or Spell Damage.

Reduced the damage on hit of this set by ~92%, but it now always applies the Poisoned status effect, rather than having a 10% base chance.
This set no longer activates the 1 second global cooldown for other instant damage proc sets, as it primarily deals damage over time now.

This set now increases the potency of your Siphoning abilities by 21%, up from 18%.

Wrathsun:

No significant changes
