This is a call out to all the builders, asking how many builds will the boost nerf mess up?
I can't imagine they will sort out any other race balancing soon, the posts the devs made about that came off as after the fact damage control to me. Thus I don't see any buffing in the near or even not so near future.
Meaning it's time to get used to the new normal. At least when I play flavor builds using races other than human I wont' feel quite as gimpy now.

Its about 10-15% DPS on bosses depending on your SA, so you lose that much DPS.
It doesn't break any builds really, just reduces physical damage from PC.
Given the massive power creep from enhancements and gear over the past year people should just shut the fuck up about this.
For the love of god the game is so fucking easy twits are loosing their minds when SSG takes away one fucking shiny.
Fucking retarded fucks making me feel like I have to defend other retarded fucks.
If you got a problem with what I'm saying?
Well, hope you're from the 7 country list, and had a trip coming here.

It's a drop in DPS, but it doesn't break any builds. It does, I think, make melees even weaker vs. ranged/casters because when the other mob can hit you back, how fast you can kill them is even more important.

We experimented in reaper 10 with a lot of different builds. Melee monks, fighters, rangers, and barbs all performed decently well when the tank, dc caster, and healer were performing their roles well. You are kinda at the mercy of the other people in your party though.
Personally, I think a melee monk is going to be a solid party member in any reaper party/raid.

It's pretty clear they are trying to force like "grouping" or like "working together" or some nonsense.

Like every group, there are schlubs and there are stars, and a lot in between. Pick your cause and I can say the same thing about the associated group.

Some builds' optimal race choice may change. I'll probably swap out of human next time I level a shuriken build, netting more Dex as a halfling. Other builds don't scale percentagewise with a stat though, while the extra human feat generally means 2 more melee or ranged power (which being a % increase, still blows away the +1-3 stat bump available on non-humans.) Couple that with human still being one of the best racial trees even without the double boost and human still should probably be the default choice for endgame DPS. It does leave more wiggle room for justifying other race choices though.
It doesn't break any builds. It does disproportionately affect builds that aim to save everything for a full retard burst (cough...Fury of the Wild) compared to more steady DPS.
I'm pretty interested in seeing the new burst damage numbers though, (vs the dojo kobold, or whatever...) No double boost means we won't be seeing a new furyshot record for some time, I think.

Hardly breaks anything, just changes up some build's race power ratings. Toughest on TWF kopesh human, but not unplayable.
