Return of Reckoning

Can we at least get the breakdown on which change is supposed to reflect the situation on live and which one is a "RoR balance change"? Because it's a bit unclear regarding the DoT changes. Sure, each tick of the DoT was recalculated depending on the buff/debuff state of the target at the...

I think the detaunt reaction is a little over the top, but then I don't play small scale very often. 6vs6 this is a huge change. Surely that removes SL WH from competetive?

The rest is pretty cool. As a DPS player mainly I don't see many parrys on my mara, or disrupts on my sorc.

Clarification about DOT defense. IS the following true? 1. If the initial hit is defended, the ability doesn't land and so there is no damage. (Same as current.) 2. If the initial hit is not defended, each dot after the first has a chance to be defended but a successful defense does not remove the ...

Make no mistake the sorc/BW mechanic is a false negative which can be countered by a sole healer of any level. I guess since this is the case you have no trouble with proving that statment? Because you would need to do that before passing it as fact, i mentioned it so did many others, on smallscale...

@OP, we can throw some suggestions if we're convinced that sorc/bw mechanic is problematic. could you point that what's the real problem ? 1-lack of counterplay ? No. Not once has this been mentioned, it has absolutely nothing to do with this thread. 2-lack of punishment ? -according my enemy comba...

a few backlashes at the worst moments leading to fatal outcome are what gives a victory to the other side. Now I have seen it all. Backlash is NOT a harsh enough drawback for such a strong mechanic. Don't bring this point up again. It doesn't matter in ST spec but it does if RNG **** you out of gua...

First step before messing with it too much can we try guard not reducing backlash dmg 50% It miiiiiight make a difference for warband fights. Will be completely irrelevant for small scale since BWs are rarely guarded (tanks are out of guard range, pushing the enemy lines, usually guarding a mdps). ...

Mid scale mechanic. Mechanic goes up to 200. (Or whatever round number you choose 100 would do as well, doesn't really mater) Normal bonuses up to 100, after that the combustion still applies however the crit and damage bonuses start counting back to 0. Basically BW becomes a balancing act with the...

You guys are missing the point. These classes gain insane bonuses for being at 100, and the drawback is a ridiculous backlash that can be healed with a HoT from any healer. Slayer/Choppa, on the other hand, receive nasty penalties for staying red all the time. The idea is to make it dangerous to st...
