Some followup.

We've done some follow up testing and it looks like Two Weapon Paladins are somewhat behind where we want them to be for DPS. They are running equal with Two Handed builds and Vanguard builds, but they are obviously behind the AoE of two handed fighting and the extra mitigation of a shield. We will be adding Holy Sword back to non-shield off hand builds. With the fix to improved critical the DPS difference that provides should put them where we want them for DPS.

Set the bar too far, then move it back to where you really wanted it in the first place.

So now the nerf to Holy Sword isn't anything directly having to do with Holy Sword at all? Am I correct now that the only 'nerf' to Holy Sword is that it doesn't get doubled by improved crit/keen/impact now?

So now the only ones getting buttfucked and losing holy sword are S+B Vanguards? Bastards.

Missed the S&B not getting rolled back. Vanguards definitely needed a nerf though, what with them dominating the kill counts and such.  Roll Eyes

Trying to decide whether or not to TR right now...leaning no as god only knows what's actually going to go live.

Yeah mine is totally dominating the EE kill counts.  Grin Definitely not TRing now. Not doing anything drastic until the hotfix the week after this steaming puddle of grume goes live.

I can I can tell you why: There is no S+B fanatic on the mobos that posts a hunderd whiny threats about how his vanguard is going to suck now. Turbine does not respond to suggestions or feedback but to massive hyperbole! "Powered by our fans" gets a whole new meaning.

And it looks like it takes a moron to teach a moron: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/466542-LAMANNIA-FEEDBACK-Balance-Pass/...

Maybe that's because no melee is going to suck, even if they would halved the melee power and prr right the fuck now.

And why not give it for shield builds? Unless they think S&B are OP DPS?

I have never seen a Vangaurd/S+B win in a kill count. What the fuck is about?

Don't have a Vanguard but I can't recall a single time when I felt Vanguard was OP at all when compared to other builds of the same level. Only time I've seen a Vanguard ever really lead the kill count was during an epic TR quest spree with said Vanguard being level 28 and the rest of the group under 25.

There was this guy on Orien who did nothing but shield bash in the brawl pit (i know, its not really a good dps factoring place) but he could shield bash for 2-3k before the procs/additional dmgs, that was just base dmg/non-furied
