Anatomy of a Failed Patch

[M0rw47h]

Engi and magus are fine.

I mean it's only 20% damage neft for a dps class. What could be wrong here?

140% -> 120% isn't 20% damage nerf.

It's 20% damage reduction.
You see when you actually can read people's posts and count you probably will be able to do a little math.
Here, let me do it for you.
40-20=20.
It might be hard to understand at first but hey - you can always ask your teacher how can it be.

It's 14% damage reduction, assuming max stack 100% uptime.

Ask your math teacher to give you an extra lesson.

It appears to be a real challenge to grasp some basic math.
A nerf of 20% bonus damage is not translated into a flat 20% damage nerf. Furthermore the damage nerf of <14%> is only applied at max stacks of 8.
The less stacks you pick as baseline, the lower the nerf becomes.
At 5 stacks we talk about 3-4% nerf.

Either way how you agree or disagree with that patch, use proper math and correct wording in your arguments.
