“Rebalanced some of the quest reward, non shard, and PQ armor items to be more inline with their challenge level.”
Sigh. Today your Critical Mitigation is…! *spins the wheel*
Is ANYBODY working on itemization in this game any more? Sheesh, I wonder what devastation will be dealt to my toons this time…
To be expected is:
– Fighter armor from the Rime zones gets nerfed to same critmit levels as the nerfed PQ armor (95% for the whole set)
– Fighter armor frmo the Kael zones gets nerfed to the same critmit levels as the armor you can buy at Clan Ry’Gorr (110% for the whole set iirc)
So, for those who geared up in heroic gear, it’s yet another ~60% critmit loss.
I didn’t need that Crit Mit anyway, it’s not like they made it the most important stat in the game or anything. Just keep giving me more meaningless attack speed. CAN’T GET ENOUGH!
LOL bye bye silius dev, you ll be burn very quickly and fire without any doubt after this :p
Crit mit change are surnaturel lol. Our tank is very happy went from 171 to 111 and i bet it will not alone. What the point to get kael gear if it dont allow you to tank in kael (remember it requierd 155 minimal ?) Even with yellow adornement is max is now 126 …
Even with 171 iceshard mob was able to kill him one shot sometime while doing bad pull i wonder how it will be now, did those zone will become … empty ?
While i bet the Ascent Etin Name on the Trio still bug the enconter.
You know the one where you must kill the name… If for any reason you break the enconter after have kill the name, his both guard are totaly invulnerable at next enconter.
(Once we manage to have one epicx4 aggroed from here and wiped us… i wonder how we have done that)
While the communjity will burn silius (or dont know his name and i dont care, since he will be burned)…
Put SJ with him… and burn them together.
171 crit mit… getting one shotted… Yeah, pretty sure your failing on some other level. Crit mit is not an end all be all stat.
It’s not me :p…
But he tank fine all name of the zone, it’s just trash who got some special ability who was always hitting harder than name can do ,)
“Fixed an issue where the Ancient Cyclops could become unkillable”
Wrong SOE. He is still unkillable. His health will not drop beyond 95%. It just heals right back up. Same for the giant spider. Plus when the NPCs lock into combat with him they stay on him forever preventing you from getting anything for killing him if you ever manage to. Seriously what is the test server used for these days? It’s obviously not being used for testing content before it goes live…
Wizards have been bitching cause conjies wearin’ them out… so you guys nerf ALL pets… including the Necro pets/Class, who just got back to being wanted in a good group… now you nerf them, because of conjies or w/e… you people SUCK ASS… NERF the god dang problem… Not the population, you bunch of inbred, 4 inch, glasses wearing mofo’s… No wonder I see all the advertisements for rift… Might just try it out after having an account with EQ1 since 1999 and EQ2 since 2004…
