Ok then.
I was slightly confused as well.

Well was Rath ever good in PvE?
He is the first character I struggle to CLEAR the OP with 85 points at least.
I did a 100 OP run with tobyā¦ but Rath? no no no no no.
I always try to like him, his Taunts and Skin are nice, I like his Character. But playing him as a Chore.
Playing a character should never be a chore, but even other characters I was worried I wouldnāt make it with were done in the first try.
Already my third try. Even in his best days Rath was easily killed in PvE, I hate that I have to wait for both of my Skills to be ready to kill a single brute. Itās stupid, but well they deal great damage while the Shield blocks almost every hit.
They must do something, I donāt want to hate him, but gameplay wise he sucks for me. I will try some of the others I hate Playing with, maybe I can Appreciate him than a little more again.
I played with Rath for the OP and it was just wow lol. They need to decrease the cooldown to 40 or 50 seconds if theyāre going to reduce the duration and speed. It sucks in PvE. Very underwhelming. They should decrease the cooldown or something. Heās the posterboy. Let him be sexy(fun and cool) and awesome in combat. Heās āehā right now. This game canāt afford to have crap characters. Seriously.
Agreed. Died four times in Atticusā mission as Rath. Canāt even kill a gunner thrall if you donāt hit them with every tick of his ult

Yeah rath is very difficult to use in ops ESPECIALLY at the part where you need to fight the elite bots and obviousy the aria boss fight. Major life steal is the best strategy I can see really for rath, otherwise you crucially need a team if not a support
I have his legendary and that spell brooch thingie. Gives extra skill life steal. And even with that, thralls can one shot you.

Try stacking max health on him instead of focusing life steal. All of the gear I use on him increases max health and he gets an extra 910 points of health so he wonāt get instantly destroyed by certain attacks in an instant.

Health could work but I use both Vows and then whatever else for his 3rd, sometimes critical damage, cause I mostly prepare him for aria battle throughout the OP and when you max his as & ad while hitting crits his life bar can stay up almost indefinitely especially if you have swordsman salve just completely maxing out his life steal in his base attacks cause you only have 3 skills so I donāt go for skill dmg life steal, but unless youāre at 100 ops sheāll still wreck your $hit but of course you donāt have to take it either, Iāve done it several times now and I really have more trouble with the elite bots and the ads around aria. Having 5 mutation and 7 attack dmg you can steal so much life and she has easy crit spot
Just try out the max health. I find that it works very well. Personally I like to go for the extra life steal on melee without removing it from skills. Iāve talked to many Rath players and itās a general consensus that itās just a matter of personal preference. All three choices are viable.
This is the specific gear I use:

Edit: I donāt like to use legendary gear without shard generation but you can swap out the attack damage with Symbiotic Gauntlet and the Max Health with various other gear too.

Its actually really nice having the 2ndary health effect on those items cause you can have increased max health with some increase to dmg output for life steal. These are really nice pieces of gear I unfortunately donāt have but yes these seem very viable!
This I do have, but the scouter and the other two type gear I donāt, Iāve tested both this and the vow but since the vow stacks off melee hits I use that instead cause the dmg is consistent with the vow rather than the sym cause my health will have to go down and then i bring it back up, it works at its best when Iāve cleared the ads and its only me and aria head on
You can get the scouter on the Sentinel too.
Does the 210 extra Health work?
I thought these Respawn/Survive conditions are only in PvP.
It works as long as you donāt die for three minutes. In story if you die and are revived you will have to wait three minutes again. Also I sell every piece of gear that says " for 60 seconds after respawning" because it relies on you dying.
Thanks.
Since the patch, I have been running attack speed/CD/ and either shards or sprint speed all at 0 cost. I feel like the update rewards 0 cast items way more than it used to so I am stinking with the instant buffs and out leveling the opponent.
For pve, I just run the two vows and itās enough attack speed/damage for me to never go down. I usually take the lvl 5 mutation which is about 20-25% lifesteal on normal attacks so with enough attack speed, I am usually good.
