As far as I know the max caster level for meteor swarm is still being reduced to 20. The only thing that changed was they were going to fix a long term feature that meant meteor swarm lost 3 caster levels when taking the fire savant capstone.

We also wanted to quickly clarify a few things that we’ve seen circulating: Yes, THF retains its base 1.5 modifier, which means that at high levels, we are bringing THF from 3.0 to 2.5 (not 2.0). Yes, the feat Two Handed Defense does indeed work on Handwraps, and we’ve clarified the tooltips to be sure that’s clearer in game. Finally, and I know you’ve all been asking for this,  we’ve removed the Fire Savant caster level penalty from Meteor Swarm.

The "Fire Savant caster level penalty from Meteor Swarm" refers to how the capstone gives MS -3 to CL because it also counts as an Earth spell. That has nothing to do with max caster level going from 30 to 20. Actually it's a completely empty gesture if MCL goes from 30 to 20, because there's no way you have the fire capstone and not be 23+ on fire caster level.

Now it's possible that the devs have separately announced that they are scrapping the MCL reduction idea, but it hasn't been quoted on the vault, and if it exists, I haven't seen it.

Frack.

This is the worst part: Meteor Swarm is part of the immunity stripper, so first meteor strips immunity, rest does damage. The other types don't have a similar multi-hit spell like that, which means minimum 2 spells for every mob(because fucking EVERYTHING has blanket elemental immunity).

Urk.

Better play as much as I can while I can.

Do you think they really understand what they are doing?  If I'm following right (I'm not up to speed on caster things), the capstone gives you +3.  So caster level 23.  But they are making 20 a hard cap?  So the cap stone will do nothing?  So testing should easily show no difference in damage when this goes live?  Don't spend the point on the capstone, test, spend the point, test again.

So them saying they've finally fixed meteor to not be typed as earth does nothing?  Sure it will be eligible for the capstone +3.  But you're gonna hit the hard 20 level cap anyway?

I wonder if they realize the 3 hits of meteor, all in one, first strips, next two hit full?  Wouldn't a simpler nerf be to make it so you had to cast meteor twice, once to strip and second to hit full?

They haven't got a single god damn clue how their own game works. Its best to just nerf, nerf, nerf, then when players leave they will stop complaining.

That would just nerf it right into the toilet. No nerf is actually needed, that's the problem. Sorcs were in a fine place and loosing 200 spell power was PLENTY of "Fuck you" to the players. The meteor swarm nerf basically eliminates fire sorc as a playable class. They SSGd sorcs hard.

If you pay close attention its all in there: not enough people were buying shifters, so they are nerfing everything they can think of.

So they fucked with Confront any Foe and instead reducing scaling it's scaling damage they changed the animations, now it looks like a sunder attack.

If you are stationary it swings around like a child with your weapon and doing this while running it looks like a handicapped old person is trying to hit something.

Fuck you SSG and your fucking ham handed approaches.
