Patch Notes 05/11/2020

[zij83]

do you main a chosen?

Nope. Just always appreciative of the work of the unpayed dev team to keep this game going. Unlike 95% of players on this server.

I appreciate also... that's why i raise red flag to increase awareness of game breaking change, people just show it in different ways. We are testers, this change sets off all the alarm bells. Somethings you can roll with and bring some attention too for tweaking, this is a change beyond that... so its better to play with it instead of against, if you lose just because of this change will leave bitter taste.

will have to play destro and show how broken it is until it gets fixed

Was recently showing how destro have no problem in forts despite all the hyperboil because of recent destro tears and doom mongering that go on... so don't understand why they needed this boosting.

So when destro says there's a problem it's destro tears, but when a change is made that you haven't even experienced yet to do something about the destro fort defense rate it's OP and the devs have lost their mind. I will again correct the record for you since you seem intent to lie and push a narrative that you are a god that just shows destro how its done. You did not prove anything, you assisted in winning a fort attack which is something destro already does around 50% of the time. It's clear from your remarks on these forums that no argument you make for order or against destro can be taken in good faith. I will however help you out with something today. Hyperbole. That's how it's spelled.

You just ignored fact, you've free +15% crit from Knights, or +20% from Knight+IB.

You mean 10%? I don't think it is possible for a knight to have a shield and have dirty tricks on and use overpowered swing at the same time and every group wont have a 2h knight or a dirty tricks knight in each group.


You can bet on every chosen having the -25% critdebuff tactic now, you can't bet on every knight being dirty tricks AND overpowered swing. Just saying.

You need just one 2h Knight to debuff everyone with OS [its AoE and applies wound debuff as well], rest can be SnB with DT

No destro does not have access to BG Crimson Strike to balanse Kniight OS ...... and BO with stackable WAAAGH ....realy

"Destro are the best whiners," thanks dude i needed a laugh; and that there is the funniest **** I've read in awhile.

[Gurf]

Slayers are the most overperforming class in the game, so its fine.

It affects all classes, basically Order can't crit with mdps or tanks any more

You just ignored fact, you've free +15% crit from Knights, or +20% from Knight+IB.

5% from Knight, IB single target, I guess its reasonable to invest 30+ points of rr into Crit for a 1-10% chance to Crit

[oaliaen]

Calm down folks..it can be cleansed.

Just like broadhead arrow and rampage ....

What is your point?

My point is exactly it...

[Zxul]

Thank you everyone, reading this thread has been the most time I had on forums for a while.

Now. lets read it again:

- Corruptive Power effect changed from "All Path of Corruption abilities now cost 35% fewer action points." to "Any time you receive critical damage, the attacker is cursed and their chance to critically hit is reduced by 25% for 10 seconds." This curse can be cleansed.

So for it to work, 3 things need to happen:

1. Chosen needs to be crit- so for tactic to have a reasonable chance to go off, chosen needs to drop FS/Flawless Armor, to get a high chance to be crit.
2. "Any time you receive critical damage"- if the hit is parried/disrupted/blocked, no dmg, so need to skip renown avoidance as well.
3. No crit dmg if base hit is absorbed- so no absorb as well.

In other words, for this tactic to have a noticeable effect, chosen needs to spec absolutely glass canon, and then whoever heals him needs to make sure no absorb is used.

[Sundowner]

people really are defending this tactic huh?

...and where I said it doesn't? Was arguing with "slayer has 15% crit chance".

[volantis]

Guess I'll try optimizing other stats besides crit. Now, crit is essentially a completely useless stat on Order. Of course we appreciate the time the devs put in the game; however, this change will undoubtedly require some rework. Why would I waste any renown points or tactics on crit anymore? Now several of my tactics are useless as well?

[zij83]

An other way to put it into perspective, I assume most slayers are around 30% critchance +-. This debuff would strip them down to 5%. A monstro mara build would strive to get 50%critchance, and this tactic alone would reduce a critchance-stacking build to half? too potent.

Most Slayers aren't anywhere near 30% Crit, even the rr85+ ones here are unlikely to be that high, more like 15%

Who needs crit chance when you have undefendable attacks.
