Now that Stinging Slashes are nerfed, are we seeing less Stam Arca with this set ?
Nope ...
Can we call that a fail from dev ?
I'm listening to you ...

✭You can call it a balanced nerf. A nerf shouldn't remove an option entirely, ideally it brings it to the proper powerlevel.10 -

✭✭✭✭Damage MDW arcs are fine, the 45k hp Pariah type ones got nerfed pretty hard (not that they were even good).PC/NA || CP/Cyro || RIP soft caps0 -

✭The reason those arcs are still hanging onto using that set up is because it's their only viable way to deal any pressure damage along with vateshran still and a proc set..the beam/flail is not all that good against good players and definitely not enough to kill on their own.0 -

✭I'm still using this exact set up using ravager as the main 5 piece to buff the DMG off my skills, heals and MDW..works just as well to be honest, I've noticed very little difference0 -
UnyieldingFlame✭✭✭The class has zero burst damage, so without these sets, they won't kill anyone decent.0 -

Class have burst damage options. People just don't want to use them because it's easier to play with bars packed with defense and control effects and 2-3 damage abilities.Edited by Galeriano2 on 6 April 2024 05:390 -

Tentacular dread and fulminating rune for example. While not the greatest among all burst damage abilities they are not a zero.1 -

Fulminating rune is actually being used. Tentacular dread is not because nobody wants to give up such overloaded ability that Flail is. Playing with tentacular dread would provide user with better burst option but it would cost him in other areas and would require more micromanagment within class kit.Edited by Galeriano2 on 6 April 2024 13:223 -

A burst skill that requires crux just sucks. I need my crux for my impervious runeward shield.
I made mine a poison bow build with swamp raider and sheer venom.
I'm just not sure how these recent Patch's poison changes affected her.1 -

Impervious runeward shield component does not require crux. Heal component does.0 -

You're clueless, af. No wonder the game is a joke balance-wise, and NB keeps getting more PvP buffs when they need PvE buffs more than anything, for example. The class is great for PvE, but as of right now, they aren't really designed for PvP, as we're in a tank meta that leans heavily on burst damage. Which none of their skills have.Edited by UnyieldingFlame on 8 April 2024 04:380 -

Nah, they need a buff, but for PvE. But zos doesn't seem to understand that. If they keep buffing them for PvP, then yes, they will need to be toned down. Other classes are falling behind in PvP.Edited by UnyieldingFlame on 8 April 2024 06:420 -
