Ok this is bad. Didn't need to nerf TWF and S&B paladin.

Metal-Beast wrote on Oct 15^th, 2015 at 1:35am:


How is that bad?? Pally mechanic was totally broken. And it makes no sense. Serioulsy, I have never seen a stupid thing as a paladin with a crossbow before. Thank God it is gone!

Arties and archers are getting theyr own pass. For now, noone cares about them. Or throwers.

Metal-Beast wrote on Oct 15^th, 2015 at 1:35am:


Nothing changed for them.

I don't see ny must have feat there. Seriously, you don't need to take a feat to go from 130 PRR to 150 PRR wich is a 4% more damage reduction. And not that you didn't have any feats. Now if you think about it if you take just one single feat for PRR you will end up with MORE PRR than you have right now, so shut the fuck up.

I hope they nerf them soon.

All that because of 6 mlee power? I agree this was a bad move, but it didn't broke any build.

You're responses have gotten lazy and yet you are still in rare form.  Have you become lazy or just more efficient?

Wow aren't you full of shit and willing to be blind to the facts    Captain Etienne Navarre one of the few Paladins ever to make it to the big screen in the beloved Ladyhawk not only used a Xbow he used a limited repeater.

But then again I'm sure it was just your butthurt jealously making you pretend there has never been Paladin's with Xbows.

You're welcome!

good insight. it's both. laziness, to be more efficient in being so, requires that I do as least as possible while still maintaining a certain threshold of results.

I will see when the nerf pass come to live, depends on how will work on Kensei, Drow Khopesh & Qstaff, etc; if it remains the same I'll agree with you

Ah and lets not for get the guy, assigned by the leaders of a church to hunt down undead, able to resist charm, you get the picture

Van Helsing totally a Pally with... wait for it, another ever better repeater!

I didn't see a need to nerf holy sword.  Pallys were powerful, but not so powerful that nobody was playing anything else.  I didn't see more pallys than rogues, bards, warlocks, rangers, or barbs in most parties.  What bothers me is it limits options.  I like flexibility in builds.

I'm totally fine with them fixing non-WAI stuff like IC/Keen and the doubleshot on repeaters. 

The TWF stuff is minor.  I doubt 6MP makes a difference, but then if it doesn't make a difference, why change it.  I'd have left well enough alone on that one.  If 6MP was all you were going to do, things weren't that far out of whack.

The Warlock stuff was unnecessary.  Warlocks were all the rage when the class first came out (just like when Druid, Arti, FvS, or Monk came out) but they have slowly died down and they are no more prevalent than any other recent-pass class.  If they wanted to tone down aura and chain, I guess that'd be fine, but they should have bumped single target blast, if anything.

The mechanic rate of fire - meh.  It's a small change.  They were pretty powerful.  I doubt it matters.  But again, like TWF, if it doesn't matter why mess with it.  If it was non-WAI then I get it.

The Manyshot changes are a huge loss to the IPS/Adrenaline/Pin types.  I wish they would find a way to serve both playstyles.  I would recommend a burst format like current manyshot with few changes (just drop the doubleshot penalty) and another feat called  "PowerShot" or something that provides an ongoing, smaller boost to RP and/or Doubleshot (maybe 50RP and 50% Doubleshot that runs continuously - numbers can be tweaked to be meaningful but not OP) so that you can get an ongoing rate of fire and do more damage if you prefer this play style.  And have it work such that you either can't select both on the same character (kinda like how TWF and SWF works) or that they put each other on cool down when used (like MS and 10k works).

The 10k changes are death for splash monks.  By basing it on monk levels you really make it useless for any non 18+ monk build.  Not a fan of that at all.

The armor changes are all a mistake. I would have recommended that they fix the imbalance between evasion builds and heavy armor builds by changing the evasion feat to add your 1/2 your reflex save to MRR.   Such that if you fail the save you still get some damage mitigation.  Improved evasion gives full reflex save to MRR.   Maybe, if you want, wearing light armor reduces this by some amount vs. robes/outfit giving the full benefit.  That would have kept Heavy/Medium armor where it was at and made evasion builds less binary and controlling the burst damage a bit.  Again, play with the numbers to make it meaningful but not OP.    That concept would have been better, IMO.

Was hoping for +20 Hearts to be available but really, they should provide all toons with a free one.

BTW...Sev and Co. changed their minds regarding Holy Sword not working with missile weapons...
