Return of Reckoning

Since KotBS/CH mechanic is kinda fire and forget, so maybe its slowly time to think how to change that?
While I understand, its not top priority currently... Personaly, I would like to see them as temporary AoE buffs/debuffs, called bellow Battle Commands.

Idea:
Effect of Aura tied to ...

absorb change - balance question:
certain classes eg tank classes like the "bubble sm" (or maybe bg as well) depended more on absorbs for survivability than other tanks and were balanced around that.
now this absorb change may lead to a state of unbalance amongst tank survivability... is that a ...

Just fix the wording on the skill as it's misleading in its current state. The skill reads as follows:

"For up to 10 seconds your superior training allows you to easily Parry the next 4 attacks made against you. Any defense made in this time will restore Action Points to everyone in your group ...

Ansorb change is nothing like on live. On WAR it was first toughness reduction, then absorb effect and rest mitigation effects lke armor, resists, etc. And even like that absorbs were quite weak. Here we have even less value from absorbs which is kinda disappointing.

Imo this change should be ...

There is nothing in that formula about Absorb.

Absorb isn't a modifier lol


Sure, but then how is the claim that absorb goes before mitigation valid when I clearly remember testing it and finding that absorb was affected by toughness values.

Edit: Actually that formula linked states at the ...

This is exactly how it worked

DAMAGE, MIGRATION ABSORB values in the combat log

The code basically involves the following steps:
1: The weapon dps contribution is calculated first: damage1 = weapon dps x weapon speed

2: Offensive stat term is calculated next: damage2 ...

maybe (probably) doesn't make a difference as long as it is infront of mitigation.


Toughness being hit before absorb allowed tanks with bubbles and high toughness to survive far longer than would be normal. This is why regen on high toughness Blackguards and Swordmasters was effective because ...

Toughness / Absorb / (Armor / Resists)
