So I supported ferocity. A 10% reduction would likely offer a more balanced gameplay and lead to less flash fights in wvw. However, I sure as kitten don’t support a 33% reduction and that’s what a lot of us got. I am a balanced build necro mostly in wvw.
They claim this is to nerf zerk sets, but zerk actually received the lightest reduction. Here are some examples from my build:
- Stonecleaver Spire (basically zerk nerf): 10% -> 134f (9%). Ok, there’s your 10% reduction.
- Bud of Pale Tree: 9% -> 85f (5.6%). Whoa, that’s a 37% reduction guys…your math is falling apart.
- Bagh Nakh: 8% -> 68f (4.5%). Whaaaaa….That’s a 43.5% reduction. WTF!?
These aren’t even the celestial pieces you noted you’d be screwing over, yet these are just as bad. C’mon anet, I hear you can hire a 3rd grade tutor for your employees for fractions of what a college class costs.
But here’s the clincher. It would have been hard for them to mention each individual piece, but every class has a crit damage tree. How the frell did you neglect to mention that every single class in the game was getting a 33% reduction on their crit damage from trait trees? 30% -> 300f (20%).
I was looking forward to this patch. I don’t have time for more than one class, but since you completely broke my build I’m logging possibly permanently if you want to stick with these changes. I’m a frelling level 55 downlevel necro running around in wvw now. And I sure as hell am not taking 3 months to build another ascended set after I’m almost done with my current one. I’m sure you’d break that one just as I finish since you’re all about massive patches now…
WTF blizzard…I mean anet? If I wanted a cycle of being nerfed into oblivion then buffed to complete imbalance I could play WoW…
