Re: How are premium tokens and caches of tome points calculated? Seems bugged
It's kind of weird they're doing it by full months since it's not how it's sold.
It should just go by what you purchased. You bought a 1-month sub? 1 token. You bought a year sub? 12 tokens. Why make it confusing and difficult?

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
Most of this is just great.
However, what's the deal with the colorful highlights though? I understand the glowing eyes, but I think the highlights are too dominant and tacky. I hate to be this way about it, but the highlights ruin the work you did on the model. That bright red on the arms of the berserker and those rainbow colors on the Pack Leader are not a benefit to the look and feel.
Really wish you'd consider dropping the highlights or making them less bright. It's sad that everything else looks great except that one thing. But this is same reason why I refuse to run the banner for scribing, because the effects are over the top and the bright spinning makes me nauseous, even though it's a great idea. This will also all blur together and look sloppy terrible when you have a bunch of WWs together.
Ya'll do good work but then you kill it with these tacky visual effects that are completely unnecessary.

Re: Class Masteries, Sorcerer perspective
My worry is people often look at dummy parses with no understanding of how they translate into real content. Sorc has always parsed decently on a dummy, yet is basically never seen in organised PvE group content outside of support dips for atros.
Cleave damage is too important in most dungeons and trials, as is the ability to increase your own pen and supply various major buffs. It doesn't matter how good sorc class mastery is if the base class isn't ticking the boxes.
And parses relying on weapon skill line spammables should say a lot by itself.

Re: When we had seals of endeavors there were more motifs to buy
I'm a bit confused, as there were never any Motifs that were exclusive for Seals. They're pretty much only for buying things in the Crown Crates (aside from those other occasional Featured things like the Spriggan Polymorphs) and the Crates change the same time they always have, which is roughly every three months.
Also the Seals didn't change at all, only the name did, so there aren't 'new' Seals.
As far as Trade Bars go, those replace Tickets for Events so there will be things to buy every Event just like before, and the Seasonal section of the Bazaar witll change every couple of months to offer new things.

It's a nerf, but still powerful.
For PVE, every build has at minimum 32k resources or so, sometimes higher, especially with a group, so you just get a free, no nonsense, +20% w/s damage.
In PVP, if you built for Max Mag stacking for Hardened Ward like before subclassing, you're sitting at 22~28% w/s damage.
An average w/s damage/crit/proc build with 30k HP has around 22~25k resources, so 12~14% w/s damage. They should effectively have more raw w/s damage to scale in comparison to the Max Mag stacker, so it could be quite close in the end.
If you compare to the other class Masteries:
- Warden = 15% - great baseline, simple, no hoops, matches normal non Max Mag stacking Sorc multiplier
- Templar = 600 w/s damage - Sorc with +15% would need 4000 raw w/s damage to achieve the same result
- NB = 1~1250 w/s damage - x2 of Templar, but based on 1~100% HP
- Necro = 2-20% - Slightly higher than Warden, but requires build up
- Arcanist = 666 (based on ult) or 300 w/s damage (perma) - Weaker than Templar, same Sorc logic
So all things considered, Sorc's Mastery is equal, if not better to what I'm seeing on other classes, but it has no secondary effect like Max HP or crux, etc. I have no doubt the passive is still strong, I just wonder if it's enough in conjunction with Implosion to compete with some of the other 2x DPS Masteries available out there.
I spoke only on Sorcerer here since this thread is for Sorcerer. All of these passives mentioned are underpowered compared to the stats you get from subclassing.
Warden's 1650 spell damage for 6 status effects is powerful. (You did not mention it) This I consider truly potent and competitive, but like you said; this is not a no non-sense passive like Font of Power.
IMO, it isn't even about equalizing the stats acquired from subclassing but about the abilities. As there is basically no way to out-stat a class simply having bad abilities. And Sorcerer has mostly bad abilities.
No realistic amount of stats will ever overcome that, and, even if they could, would we really want Crystal Frags providing 10k Weapon Damage because that's what it takes to compete with subclassed DKs?
The roll-out of these passives drives home the point that classes without a decent backbone of abilities will never be competitive until their respective refresh fixes that issue with complete skill reworks a la the DK refresh.

I know what you’re looking for, but there’s no point in "fighting" because of Oakensoul. So, you don’t really have anything else to provoke with.

Compared to several other classes the Sorc class masteries are actually good to great, I really have no idea where these complaints come from.
Look at the usage rate of sorc on the esolog. Can a class with the lowest usage rate really be considered problem-free? Or do you think that as long as there are few people using it, there won't be any problems?
