They’re literally as direct a comparable as you can get in distinct powers that aren’t reskins, in my opinion. Actually, personally I consider all
AB, Forge, and PB to be the comparables, with different strengths/weaknesses so my mindset is a little different. They’re all variants of the same function for the set (single target damage increase) in my head.
same way clear mind/thaw/enforced morale/clarity are the comparables... but I suppose that’s all just opinions.
speaking of which, clarity should totally be an aoe. It ain’t special enough 😞
