Return of Reckoning

We have been down the enforced 2/2/2 setup road before. It will mean endless ques for all in low pop hours and pretty much always for dps.

Also, scenarios are not bad mainly because of matchmaking. There are plenty of more pressing issues which make scenarios a terrible experience in general ...

The main problem with the proposed idea is that this will very much effect tanks as avoidance of guard damage will also be reduced. Personally, I think guard damage beeing effected by strike through is one of the worst changes made on RoR compared to AoR. I think guard should be decoupled from ...

The team is working now on itemization for Tier 4, so they'll be reviewing all the end-game sets soon and adjusting any outliers. In some cases, some sets or armor pieces have far more or fewer stats than they should - Lost Vale is on the mark, so you can use that as a general litmus test to see ...

Additional request: investigate the armor debuff effect on ASW / MSH, since something seems off in how it's being applied making these characters squishy.


As far as I recall the debuff is applied before stance buff. Basically resulting in double debuff in practice. It is intended behaviour ...

AA beeing such a substantial part of damage is in my opinion a boring design philosophy. Ideally it would be toned down and any damage loss shifted to actual abilites.

There are portals in south dragonwake if i recall correctly (docks).

I can verify that guard avoidance checks are affected by the original attacker's strikethrough.

I have confirmation both from a member of the balance team and from an actual in-game experiment (N~1000 hits).

Basically this means that if the attacker has parry strikethrough = SP% and block ...

Damage thru guard is base on your avoidance. If you have 50% parry, than you parry 50% incoming hits from guard. It is always considered as melee hit, so it can be parried, blocked or absorbed. There is no formula added to this and it is pretty straight forward.

Than there is incoming damage ...

The changes to guard are up there for worst changes on this server imo. This just drives stacking of avoidance to not blow up from guard damage. This also forced a bunch parry buffs to tanks. Now, every 2 handed tank run with 70-80 percent parry which in turn make regen a bigger issue.

For me scenarios was always a game mode for some quick random action when I did not have a group or rvr was ****. Turning scenarios to some wannabe e-sport mode was a bad idea to begin with. Discordant was great when it was both solo and duo que. Just reimplement that and profit.
