Stamsorc and magsorc will 100% be the 2nd or at least 3rd strongest spec in the game after this patch goes live, guaranteed. We gaming now fellas

Careful what you wish for, only thing players hate more than Sorc Meta is NB Meta.

I think the Devs hate Sorc, not the players.

Might have missed something but dk was already the strongest class before the pyrebrand buff.

The reworked classes are the new standard. New WW is on par with New DK in PvP. Sorc was buffed in PvP by a lot. Yes it sucks to wait for the others but it seems like it will be worth it.

I agree with being able to abandon/delete partially claimed challenges! This is just disgusting. Challenges was supposed to be less time consuming/easier than Endeavors (less FOMO they said), but it's the complete opposite. The current ones on live are already annoying and not that easy to get done with real life, but mostly doable with the rerolls. If all these PTS ones goes on live, you practically have to live in the game to complete them for much less rewards. Gross. Which means I just won't do them anymore.

Looks like a lot of reroll candidates here. And if the gold cost ramps up so quickly, they will also become ignore candidates.

Edit : The main problem I see here is that many of these can be activities that people do rather often but may be not on this scale. So, the challenges will become partially completed. After that players will have two choices:
- claim points and potentially be stuck with this challenge till the end of the season (and may be running out of spots for new weekly challenges)
- do not claim the points and be stuck with the prompt to claim them in the middle of the screen.

Either way, not cool.

What a grind fest...Why not try and make things fun instead of just unnecessarily grindy? Doing these activities once is fine but the "claim 8" stuff or even some of the "claim 4" are terribly monotonous. This system would be so much better if we had like 5x the amount of listings but they were all claim once. Send me around doing lots of different stuff. Don't make me pickpocket 150 times lol. 15 would be fun. 150 I'm not touching and therefore I won't do the 15. Same with lockpicking and really most of them to be honest...

Do the leads drop from thieves troves in any zone? While I still don't like it, it's significantly better than just thieves troves in Glenumbra.

All of the leads are supposed to drop only in Glenumbra, according to the patch notes

The patch note never actaully said "only" in Glenumbra:



Technically, with four leads for the station dropping in Glenumbra from Thieves Troves, even a lead from someplace else for the fifth part wouldn't make that statement in the patch notes untrue.

I have a few Thieves Trove paths in other zones that I ran on the PTS, but none of them produced any leads.

I went back today on the PTS with my EU account, since the character copy changed, and got two of the leads again from Thieves Troves in Glenumbra. It looks like the armory station leads are the source for at least four (4) of the five parts of the antiquity. Interestingly, they moved the achievement purchasing site from Glenumbra to Hew's Bane, where all the parts are excavated. Makes me wonder if the last lead comes from that zone.

Additionally, I got this from a Thieves Trove in Glenumbra:

I never got one of those fragments during the NA character copy with 60+ hours of PTS time farming for Thieves Troves and a bunch of Safeboxes in Glenumbra. It now makes me wonder about this statement from the first week U50 PTS patch notes:



With Thieves Troves now supplying one of the parts to the new Rogue's Refuge house in Glenumbra, there is going to be a frenzy of players seeking them out, ultimately making them harder to find.

Of the now 20 Thieves Trove locations I know of in Gleaumbra, only 5 were active when was on the PTS immediately after today's patch. Running around for over two hours those locations yielded 2 leads and the one "Collectable Fragment."

YouTube clickbait strikes again!

I saw a 215k parse, not the 225k one, but in that they used Throwing Knife, notoriously overly expensive to use, but only possible in that parse because the DPS was so high, so the fight was short enough that when they ran out of sustain the fight had just ended.

As if parsing with green max stat food and pre 500 ult Overload wasn't enough, they cheesed an overly expensive skill no one can sustain for longer than a minute with actual in game mechanics like roll dodging and blocking.

But yeah okay, lets not just nuke Static, but also Monolith... Which btw everyone could agree was buffed too far, but a pitiful 300 w/s damage to manage that stupid, unreliable set that doesn't even deal damage around itself with 1 pylon, while proccing randomly due to the only reliable sources being aoe dots is incredibily annoying.

Exactly.

Folk know exactly what they are doing when they make these deceptive clickbait videos.

And then we get Surprised Pikachu Face when a nerf comes down.

No surprise the devs hate sorc they barely need reason to nerf anything cool we might get
