Top of the line.
Bringing a mara for some serious action is just Plain Dumb. A Bg Will do the needed debuffs , and guard, and prolly more dmg.
PB should be the best tactic for aoe but it is definately not for ST. İ dont know how wl is better overall and Mara is still weak. Game will be balanced when Mara reach wl level.Fenris78 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 9:33 am 25% armor Pen. tactic is equal to 350 WS... Why are you ever complaining, especially on a class that got the strongest armor debuff of the game ?
WL got same armor debuf, without the luxury of an armor ignore tactic on top...
Reality is that classes with 50% armor penetration tactic were clearly too strong, i.e. stealthers and mara, and didnt required to invest into WS to be effective.
Now every mdps will be with strenghts and weaknesses, without getting a mandatory bred and butter tactic allowing them to overcapitalize on defensive skills, to the point they become both too resilient AND too deadly to ensure good balance.
And about the patch, still keep in mind that those changes are, for a significant part, a starting point before further fine tweaking over this, so it will not stay "like this" forever.
As for armor penetration tactics, I bet my hat they will stay like that, because like I said, 50% armor penetration on one single tactic is way too strong in this game, especially for amount of damage all mDPS can deal.
Just because they want to label it "ability rework patch not balance patch" doesn't change what it is. It will be the ACTIVE live patch of the current game. So yes it should be a BALANCED patch. (imagine thinking otherwise? Holy hell).Garamore wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 2:13 pm Remember this isn't the balance patch - this is a stepping stone to that. Lets hope that in that patch they will do something to make all dps on par.
Until then in RvR we will do what we always have done - be an interrupt/kd bot with more survivability but less damage than a choppa. In smallscale ill just play my choppa/we.
Either you don't know how to play mara or your bis is not bisTetzou wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 9:17 pm Did more dmg to a test dummy with my Swordmaster 2h in 6sov 3wl all wounds/armor talis vs my BiS sove Mara. 1k dps vs 700dps. My Wl dish out 1300dps+. In New patch mode ofc.
