Bug fix and nerf are not mutually exclusive terms. its a nerf to more than just weapons with expanded crit ranges its a nerf to the majority of relevant melee builds. It might not have been working as intended but to claim it isnt a nerf to those builds is flat out wrong.

Severlin nerfs are over performing. They will implement this on live and people will keep on complaining and soon they will make new changes and nerf the nerfs again to achieve "balance".

Oh by all means, i fully agree that it is a neff, when it comes to the specific weapons that have their ranges otherwise modified from their normal base ranges. There is an "easy" way to otherwise return these said weapons back to how they are now (excluding weird stacking issues) by increasing the base range slightly farther. In the case of sireth - which has an 18-20 currently, i would make it innately 16-20.. simply to keep it where it is now, as well as after the change (15-20 range with IC)


An easier fix still would be to fix IC, without having to change it. By this i mean fix the code on how things are applied to weapons, Feats should apply first and foremost. This would prevent any additional things added from being affected my IC, as IC is already tied to the weapon.



Correct.  All they had to do was change the current math:

(Base Profile + Enh + Spell + ED) x IC =  Active Crit range

To the proper math:

(Base Profile  x IC) + Enh + Spell + ED = Active Crit range

We'll start with Red: Improved crit was not NERFED in any way (cept for a few weapons that had irregular crit ranges).


So those weapons got nerfed.  Did you even read what you wrote?

This means nothing. Unless you are trying to prove you know how to use your credit card with wild abandon. Perhaps you are trying to prove you knew how to use your credit card along with your knowledge of pulling out your Ethernet cable?

I normally like your postings, but I have a pet peeve about folks bragging about the above.

While KNN is truly a faggot, he sadly has a point:

Imp crit changes were/are a nerf.

This.

Quote:
Screw the "not working as intended" part - I am fine with them fixing it. The nerf lies in the weapons you listed.

They are, apart form TF, many of the most powerful weapons in the game at their lvl. They are not just "shitty weps no one uses". And this is lowering their effectivity a lot. That is simply a nerf for many of my toons.

Also, I am not currently running an acrobat, but I like acrobats. They are fiun to me.
But TA DPS dropped so much by this nerf (because all decent staves have somehow modified crit range), that it is disheartening.

Hit the nail on the head.

The weapons listed are sort of the " Who's Who" of gear sets, from Korthos to Defiler of the Just. For someone like myself, who spent ages grinding out an eSoS, that's a solid nut-punch.

Do I care enough to RageQuit over it?

Nope.

I think the greater frustration lies in the fact that any of these problems happened in the first place, when it was easily avoidable with unpaid-intern level competence.

PS- I am also Sad Panda over my upcoming Monkrobat...

(soundtrack mandtory for reading this post)

so the greasy, cock-gobbling, dick-gnawingh, ball-skin-tugging-with-their-teeth developers keep driving nails in the coffin, but the laters nerf to melee and ranged dps is the worst.

SNIPPED FOR BEING TEDIOUS DRIVEL.


Oh dear - did somebody mess with your build.  I only hope that it will prompt you to leave the game.

I have two eSoS's.  I don't really like THF builds, but will use them occasionally for leveling a barb.  I have plenty of the other named weapons.  They are still better than most others at their level.  I doubt I'll retire any because of this.

Wrong. The feat you're looking for is an epic feat called "Wield Oversized Weapon" from The Complete Warrior. That would allow you to use a greatsword in each hand. Monkey Grip would not.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Correct, i think.. Maybe?  yes, im sure you are right. Monkey Grip merely allowed you to use a weapon of one class larger than you as if it were a single handed weapon If it were designed to be specifically used by the larger creature, rather than a dual hand.  IE: Large Sword in a Medium persons hands would normally qualify as a 2h for said medium persons, with monkey grip it could be held in one hand, though still suffers an attack penalty.. Right? (been a while, no one round my area to table with)

Wrong. There is no such feat as "Epic Monkey Grip" in v3.5.
