Return of Reckoning

Except the new system works in a different way, and it shows, since before you would see high or even just mid RR targets that stack disrupt, which is pretty much most melee dps, and with intellect cap +10% strikethrough tactic, you would get disrupt at most twice over all the spells you cast at th...

Disrupt is really only boosted a lot for healers and a little for toons that haven't stacked any additional disrupt. Toons that have low willpower but who are stacking disrupt will actually have less disrupt in most cases under the new system. The table below shows a comparison between the old and n...

The changes to dots are highly questionable. It's fair enough that dot damage should be affected by changes to defensive stats after the dot is applied, but does a Burn Away Lies dot not receive benefit from Flanking if the WH is no longer behind the target when the dot ticks? I don't think that was...

Historically, power stats contributed only to damage, not to strike-through. I'm guessing that is still true.

It's something that is basically impossible to check in-game. So the only way to know for certain is to ask the devs.

I'm still struggling. 2. +x% modifiers are effectively nerfed by between 15-30%. Formerly, a +10% parry bonus from abilities, tactics, dual-wield, gear, etc would have increased your parry chance by 10%. Now, it will increase you parry chance by 7.2% against an attacker with 1050 strength. This is ...

WS gives more parry, bigger %buff gives less parry, against 1k str. right? I felt a lot of strikethrough while WoDS.( just feeling. ) i invested more WS. better but not close to b4. (420WS) question: 1. would WS give less parry after some point? is there some threshold for diminishing return in avo...

I did a quick test of disrupt against pve mobs. My level 36 sorc was hitting mobs of equal level. I removed the willpower debuff tactic so the target's willpower was not debuffed. The mobs disrupted 21 of 592 eligible hits. That's a disrupt rate of 3.55%, which doesn't seem excessive.

Is avoidance bug fixed? Is block/parry/dodge/disrubt chance 0% while under KD,Stagger? Why should you be able to avoid attacks when lying face first in the ground or staggered, with all the new changes that is one of the few guaranteed ways to get kills . . ? They are knocked down. They aren't unco...

For sorc and BWs complaining about disrupt rates, this is something that is easy to test in game. 1. Downlod the DPSmeter mod. 2. Find a friend to target. 3. Reset the DPSmeter mod so that disrupts are zero. 4. Spam Chillwind/Ignite on your target. If you cast it every gcd, it won't do much damage b...

The game's defense mechanics were changed in the new patch. In the patch note forums, we have been discussing with the devs how the new mechanics work. Without going into (much) mathematical detail, I will use this post to summarise some of the main points. Note that I am not a dev and that all of t...
