✭✭✭✭✭Hey guys,
So after another nerf to the DK ( now proc rates decreased),
What nerf? Less ticks yes, but they have increased the damage of each tick so at the end of the day you should be getting exactly the same damage off of it, in fact technically you can get more damage out of because there's less time between uses.
You'll probably get less.
Say it ticks 100 every 0.5 seconds. In 5 seconds, that's 1k damage.
Now it ticks 200 every seconds. In 5 seconds, that's 1k damage.
Bur what happens at 3.5 seconds when the person purges or cloaks?
Old system, they take 700 damage.
New system, they only take 200, as it didn't complete another tick.
Plus it means leas procs on skoria etc

Digiman✭✭✭✭✭Don't give up on the DK
You know ive been telling myself that month after month,. But seriously its getting really hard to justify forcing myself to keep playing my DK. Its like the class itself has lost any kind of identity. Pretty much every class can do everything better than the DK now. Hell ive seen NB and sorc tanks do better than the average DK tanks. And I really dont want to quit my DK even though most of my friends are now on Sorc/NB ( sorry stam templars also suck now, arguably even worse than the DK) but im finding it really hard to take nerf after nerf.
This is what happens when you hamfist introductive stamina abilities to a class that wasn't originally designed for it. Because of that those abilities though small in choice have better numbers that overhaul another classes primary roles.
Honestly though it wouldn't be to bad if they decided to focus a patch on magicka ranged DPS for all classes to sort of add a better option for that role. Getting sick of stamina being their primary focus for damage.0 -

✭less procs less server load not only due to the abilities (Both armor and spells) proccing less but the armor sets proccing less as well . one change two effects. Methinks both were intended.0 -

"hi guys I only go by the skill itself and not what could possibly proc from the DoT."
That's you right there.
E: This is exactly the mindset that Zenimax had when they nerfed these skills. They don't look beyond the actual ability. Blatant case of tunnel-vision.
But if the tick is shorter then over time you can fire the ability more and get more procs
and yes, this Is my second attempt at sarcasm in this thread
