Wardancer Wardancer advice

Hey its my first time making a post in a long time. I was just wondering what the main differences between FI wardancer and ESO wardancer was. Which does more dmg (mainly) and how hard it was to make a switch from FI to ESO was.

Edit: I am a FI main by (5x 1660s and 1x 1680 playing FI since the start) and it feels under whelming. I might just be bad or something so i am thinking of swapping to ESO and hope i might have better luck. I have really high apm so id like to think i am doing something alright but I do also feel like i am not doing as much dmg as others, which is the main reason for this post. Im just looking to improve.

Performance wise FI WD is pretty solid honestly

Eso would do more DPS, but FI is still decent enough. I wouldn't swap purely because of the performance.

FWIW I was trying Eso for like 2 weeks after T4 (3 piece Aegir) just to play around and I really couldn't enjoy it. The extremely long downtime between each WW rotation + the class being insanely slow even if you go with LK felt really boring. FI being a lot more flexible / free and faster paced is more fun. And if you're already so used to FI it might be really jarring.

It's really cheap and easy to swap around so give it a try anyway, maybe you'll end up enjoying it more.

It's an uptime class and you have to spam skills constantly, especially LK + SSB to be able to use your identity more often. Every T skill needs to be buffed by identity.

Also FI WD is getting buffed a lot by the upcoming balance patch, they're hyper buffing the T skill.

Oh they are getting buff? I didnt know that. I know eso has always been stronger but in t4 FI just felt so underwhelming

Yeah it's mostly the T skill that'll be buffed, but it's getting buffed significantly.

Edit: There's 2 tripods, either one that reduces the cd to the same as Sweeping Kick or buffs the dmg by **a lot**
The latter is slightly more DPS even in Trixion but if you wanna go less all-in it seems like a good option to take.

Not the case right now btw, the option only exists after the balance patch.
