Patch Notes 18/06/2020 - Garden of Qu'aph

[Erestor]

Thx for the work you're putting into the game. I'm not a fan of PvP, and I won't use the arena but kudos to you for your dedication and commitment to improve the game. I'll wait patiently for more PvE content

Reduced damage scaling on Broadhead Arrow from 0.9 to 0.45

Wait does this mean 1 stack does not even worth GCD, 2 stacks do the same damage as old 1 stack and only 3 stacks deal more damage than original 1 stack? Excelent! 3 GCDs spent over original 1. Isnt better scrap the rework of BA and restore to its previous state?

So I see that harbinger (purple lvl 39) weapons dmg is down from 57 dps to 50.8 dps. Common some alternatives to using the same cookie cutter setups?

New duel zone is cool, GJ

[phononHYPE]

As always, and even though I don't duel much, I am excited to see this game grow.

Will the Garden of Qu'aph have a class trainer or renown trainer within the area, or will we have to go back and forth to our capital city to change specs?

"Keep in mind this damage scaling is related to the amount of Ballistic Skill you have, and is not a flat 50% damage reduction for Broadhead Arrow."

The change doesn't affect the base damage of Broadhead arrow, only how much bonus damage it gets from Ballistic Skill. If your Ballistic Skill bonus was 200dps (1000 Ballistic Skill) then before the ability got an extra 180 damage on top of its base damage, now it gets an extra 90 damage on top of the base damage.

According to the career builder Broadhead Arrow does base 760 damage with no points in the tree, so it should do base 1216 damage with a maxed out Skirmisher tree. You then add the bonus from Ballistic Skill to this value which was 180 (with 1000 BS) but is now 90 (with 1000 BS). It's a very minor change in the big scheme of things.

As always, and even though I don't duel much, I am excited to see this game grow.

No, that's not what it means. The base damage on BHA is very high to begin with, so ballistic scaling needs to be pretty extreme to make any significant change. If you add the increased damage from Flame Arrow the net nerf is about 100 damage at 1100 BAL.
