	Apparently they are reducing helpless dmg by 55% (30% LD + 25% base) across the board. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

	They need to balance melees because 2 players are over performing...

	Dear players, The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means. Love, People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

	I like that THF is still mediocre, and all of the good things in Barbarian for example are dependent on how often you hit and that the only builds to excel with THF are wolves who circumvent the crippling downside to THF while retaining all of the good stuff.

No, let's be real. THF wolves aren't even that good. It's the outlier of Silvanus wolves. Wolf speed alone doesn't make up for the crappy nature of THF.

	Math is hard.� Consider a melee attack that deals 100 damage in r10. Current: 100 * 0.091 (reaper dmg reduction) * 1.5 (helpless base) * 1.5 (combat brute) = 20.475 dmg. New: 100 * 0.154 (reaper dmg reduction) * 1.25 (helpless base)� * 1.2 (combat brute) = 23.1 dmg. Edrein wrote on Jul 25^th, 2019 at 12:42am: THF wolves aren't even that good.

	Quote: Creatures in high skull Reaper have a lesser amount of damage resistance than they do now. Not only does the damage resistance ramp up more slowly, but resistance to ranged and magic is further reduced to match melee resistance. Currently the damage resistance for melee is actually lower (more favorable to the player) than for ranged and magic, so in the new system the reduction for melee, ranged, and magic will all be equal with ranged and magic catching up to melee damage. The new formula has the reduction slightly higher for melee (although still more favorable for magic and ranged) on Reaper 1 and 2, the same for Reaper 3, and more favorable to the player as it ramps up beyond that. As an example, the multiplier at Reaper 10 for melee will change from 0.091 to 0.154 and for ranged and magic will change from a 0.076 multiplier to a 0.154 multiplier. This will make taking down creatures with large hit point pools less of a slog at higher Reaper skulls. To be clear, the decrease to damage resistance scales with Reaper level � at lower Reaper levels the change to damage won�t be as noticeable.

	If I understand it correct, there are going to be far less helpless mobs to do damage against. If that's the case, it should be factored in...

	Because math really is hard: Helpless is additive not multiplicative. Current: 100 * .091 (reaper DR) * (1 + (.50 combat brute + .50 helpless base)) = 18.2 New: 100 * .154 (reaper DR) * (1 + (.20 combat brute + .25 helpless base)) = 22.33 22.33/18.2 = 22.6% dmg increase against helpless mobs, without considering Sense Weakness.� With Sense Weakness, it's a 28% dmg increase compared to current dmg.� The Mass Hold Monster duration change (12->9.6 seconds in r10) nets a 20% shorter time window that a monster will be held.� Assume 10k DPS for ease of math. Current: 10k DPS * .182 reaper helpless dmg scaling * 12 sec = 21840 dmg New: 10k DPS * .2233 reaper helpless dmg scaling * 9.6 sec = 21436 dmg Slightly less dmg output without Sense Weakness, and slightly more dmg with Sense Weakness. ETA TLDR: There's a bunch of handwaving freakoutery over this change.

	I love the bickering fights over maths in ddo, it's a fucking great look for everyone.

Was my thought exactly when I saw that. They're like..."mobs are getting CCed too much we don't like that, give them more saves" But also "oh we realize caster destinies are not giving enough DC bonuses so let's add some" Same shit in the end. Might hurt more in heroics though but honestly have no idea how far beyond mob saves my DCs are on my Sorc.

Fixed the math for both of you. Helpless trash DPS is getting a huge boost in R10. It's getting nerfed in heroics though. Poor heroic monks, no lube every single balance patch, and they sucked compared to warlocks to start with. Cripey's Merciless Bloodbath: 100 * 0.154 (reaper dmg reduction) * 2.55 (helpless 25% base + 30% sense weakness + 5% ship +15% set +60% No Mercyx6 +20%HOrc)�= 39.3 Caster dps is going up about the same amount. Current: 100 Caster DPS * .076 R10 * 1.5 = 11.4 New: 100 Caster DPS * .154 New R10 * 0.85 (extra saves) * 1.25 (new helpless) = 16.36 The people that they are actually targeting to nerf are the heroic low reaper monks, melee bards, melee clerics, and melee FvS and their splashes. Those people are losing hp, losing damage, losing DC not made up since they don't have magistar yet, and making less xp per reaper streaked dungeon. While they do get to be 2 lvls higher, melee dps doesn't scale like casters in heroics, so it won't matter much.

	Ramged builds, which were clearly needing a buff, also are getting the lesser Reaper damage reduction, the same as caster damage.
