Return of Reckoning

So let me get this straight:

The guy that is doing the balancing and is playing choppa and bg as main has just buffed choppa and bg. And as if that is not enough nerfing one of the few classes that can be dangerous to him: Slayers.

Seriously? https://ibb.co/f0jnLsQ

In case you didn't notice. Engis not even showing up in the stats. They are as dps behind AMs.

let me get this straight: dest have 10% pop advantage, but only 1% more kills.... thanks for the proof.

Love the new BG 13 pointer, awesome and gives us the perfect group utility skill.

IB got reckd though, their 13 pointer is rubbish.

yea IB got wrecked aswell, Solo IB is kinda dead but Devs want that so no suprise

That is what made slayer more intersting than choppa. Now they are equally dull. I'm still waiting on a fix for the insanly high block and parry values everyone seems to have.

In regards of IB - im not sure if that is a class that should be nerfed in any kind of way. Equally, BG shouldn't be buffed in any kind of way. Both happened here. Not sure what people are thinking. Give CF / WW to BO/SW where it belongs. Also a 50% damage nerf on heavy blow is not a "minor" adjustment.

It's not only this patch, but the whole rework build around His playstyle with nerfing range, nerfing snare, Bo speed.

People See it, destro is cheering for IT and devs are Happy not having to deal with others to balance things.

Ot: it's a hit in the face of solo ib, but keep calm, they say it will come back. The new buff is strong, whoever think it's Not never checked the % of their damage comes from AA...

Rampage is still fine as long as it stack with numbling (should be, one is a debuff on the enemy, the other is a buff on you). For wb play it's a big hit.

Chopper aoe will be okay i think. But damage increase in gtdc is a joke and shows the one sided drift balance is going, at least after the beloved rampage nerf this joke of an ability needs to be trashed next.

Pro Tip: If only one side say it's a good balance patch, it wasn't.

Cool

Well that with Heavy Blow is a pity after such a long time but grumble and mutter. Well for that you have 25% aa damage buff let's see Slayer 50% AA Speed, Wl 50% AA Speed Wh also don't know if they socket that, Sw even if the Assoult is, Engi has something like that, I think Meele Wp too. As far as I can remember this is a 4 or 5 part invader bonus (25% more AA damage) Does this actually stack with mmmh....? Ib has always been the perfect Meele Guard in Smallscale. When I look at the killboard apart from the Aoe fuss, I see that AA usually has a 30 to 40% share of the total damage with well geared Meeles. Why don't you try it out? Yes solo is already **** as Ib if the own 50% AA Haste Buff does not trigger then a selfheal was better.

Yeah, I agree that Salyer is kind of dull. But Choppa is one of the most fun dps to play, the pull makes the class very interesting and versatile. The parry/block increase is actually lower than most ppl think and I think it is also a step in the right direction for the game.

It is normal for ppl to be unhappy when they see their privileges taken away. Them being unhappy doesn't mean that those privileges were justified
