U62 nerfblade

U62 is being discussed on lamannia subforum right now

https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/u62-preview-2-overview.4159/

One thing that caught my eye was this from the "balance refresh"

Quote:
Spellpower scaling imbues have been standardized: They are all now 1d8 damage per imbue dice and all now scale with 75% spell power instead of 100%

    Affects:
        Eldritch Knight
        Arcane Archer
        Warchanter
        Warpriest/Warsoul
        Artificer
        Dark Apostate
        Druid Elemental Forms
        Blightcaster
        Vile Chemist


Imbue builds were already over performing in high reaper amirite? It's not like they were classified as spells and got already nerfed  in U59

Quote:
Caster damage in Reaper difficulty has been adjusted for Skull 7 and higher:

    Skull 7: From 25% damage to 23%
    Skull 8: From 20% damage to 18%
    Skull 9: From 18% damage to 15%
    Skull 10: From 15% damage to 10%


Can't wait for the next paid upgrade to get the dps back, next OP enhancement tree when?  Tongue

1. Nerf the game into the ground until the 4 people who complain that its too easy give up and quite
2. ????
3. Profit.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

I guess they're basically nerfing melee AND casters... So... neither side can't whine too much about the other.

'Cept for the fact that imbue builds are getting the brunt of the nerf and the rework for melee attacks is THEORETICALLY supposed to be a buff in epic depending on the class you're playing.

This nerf in the name of standardizing dices across stances and classes, is completely uncalled for. Imbue builds needed a buff, not a nerf.........









But that is just my opinion  (but that is just my opinion, wouldn't it be nice if the Pope started finishing phrases like this?  Grin)

New: Arcane Archer core 1's enhancement bonus now stacks with everything.
New: Arcane Archer's tier 5 Improved Elemental Arrow's critical hits now scale with Imbue dice, dealing 1d10 per imbue dice on a critical hit, and apply to the Force Arrows imbue. (this replaces the current force arrows on-crit 1d10)

Thanks. My melee caster is getting fucked TWICE.

Maybe I'll just speck back into a pure palemaster and finger mobs until I question my own sexuality.

Have an EK inquis and its getting hit hard. Going to have to sit down and see if Law imbue is better now. Just a completely unwarranted nerf. Or as they call it at SSG........"Thursday"

I don't know what build was abusing it. Mine definitely wasn't top-notch. I just really enjoyed swinging a sword and slinging spells. Especially annoying since I even farmed raid weapons for this alt. Fuckin SSG.

It was a lot of fun. Good self-healing and good numbers on every swing. And if you feel board, throw a meteor swarm.

But alas. Tis no more.

Super fun builds to play. The combo of CC/DPS was always awesome. Drop a dancy ball with some persistent AOE's,  mobs all run into it hack hack hack. High heroics and epics were a breeze. Never could get the CC DC's high enough for high skull legendary on a martial build, but still had hard CC options like PWS and irresistable dance there.

I liked the dancing ball and incendiary cloud best. I tend to only go with AOE CC since mobs always come in large packs.

I suppose I had better enjoy the build while I have it.

the pursuit of diversity by retards always equates to standardizing everything into being a giant monoculture designed by those with the most power. one day every single ability in this game will have the same damage dice, same scaling, the same cool downs and use time, and the only thing different will be the animation and the name of the ability. then they will have finally achieved perfect balance and build diversity- everyone using their visually different 1d8x1.5 attack every 5 seconds and builds that are completely irrelevant beyond cosmetics, because they all operate exactly the same and have the same end results. they cant understand the needs or value of unique and differing entities from their tower of isolation and assume their interpretation of reality is the one through which all others should perceive existence. and in the name of fairness and freedom, you all get shoehorned into a single path forward by someone with more power than you. typical "democracy"- the privilidged class determines what your potential and your limits are.
