The Anti-Destro Patch and its Discontents

The recent Anti-Destro Patch and its profound flaws allows for a few questions. Warhammer Online was presented as a game where class diversity was a hallmark. No class would be pigeon holed into a single role, but performing competently a multitude of ways: DPS dealing healers being a prime example....

Re: SH changes

What was done to the SH class from this patch can only really be seen as a hostile act.

Justice from the Patch of Infamy

The recent May 20th Patch has reduced the damage of Engineer and Magus abilities Napalm Grenade and Mist from a base damage from 165 to 120, and reduced the Primary Stat Mod from .50 to .30. This means the two 13 point mastery abilities no longer are the defining abilities for their respective maste...

It is an open question. Respondees may answer as they deem appropriate, with whatever knowledge/opinion they wish to share.

DPS AM vs. DPS Shaman

How does the DPS AM compare to the DPS Shaman? Are they basically equivalent, or does one have the upper hand?

Re: The Patch of Folly

Tbh this is more of a communication problem than a balance change problem. If it were a tooltip fix or something of the sort it wouldn't need an elaboration, but as is it changes how the class performs, under certain conditions and there should be a statement of intent, what the change seeks to add...

Re: Anatomy of a Failed Patch

Probably down to perspective. City/WB maguses don't particularly care, because they are used to playing at limitted stacks, while the BTT style of squat around waiting for some unfortunate individual to pass by gets hit pretty hard, at an individual level. TB is kind of split based on how people's ...

Re: Anatomy of a Failed Patch

It seems like the supports of this patch can't decide whether the nerf was very much justified and long overdue or that the classes barely changed at all in terms of its power and you should not really complain about the nerf. Probably down to perspective. City/WB maguses don't particularly care, b...
