EDIT
They said on record the overall DPS reduction would be 10%.
END
But……………………..
The reality is a whole lot more than 10%.
If you only think of trait provided critical damage than yeah sure it would look as if it is a mere 10% drop, and there lies the big LIE.
You see, if we use what they have said is the conversion rate 15:1 ratio than the following items have all seen a major nerf in critical damage.
Trinkets
- Ascended amulet: was: 9% crit damage is now: 85 ferocity = 5.6% crit damage.
- Ascended rings: was 8% rit damage, is now: 68 ferocity = 4.5% crit damage.
- Ascended earrings: was 7% crit damage, is now 60 ferocity = 4% crit damage.
- Banner of discipline: was 15% crit damage, is now 170 ferocity = 11.3% crit damage.
Weapons:
- Ascended greatsword was 10% crit damage, is now 134 ferocity = 8.9% crit damage.
(not gonna list all weapons, but all of them have seen a nerf)
Food:
- Bowl of butternut squash was 8% crit damage, is now 60 ferocity = 4% crit damage.
(not gonna list all food)
By now you can see a developing pattern,
I did not go over every single item and just from this sample you can see that it is by far a lot more than just a 10% drop.
10% nerf to crit ? in what universe is that true ?
People need to be aware they have been lied to in a big way, and that is the core of my issue with this change.
It is not the fact that you nerfed critical damage that sets me off and make me mad, it is the fact you lied to us in our faces about the percentages !
Things I wonder about:
Am I missing something ?
Am I not seeing the big picture ?
Why have they lied ?
did they really think no one knows basic math to not figure this out ?
