    @Anne_Firehawk Really? All I've seen on here today has been about how it's gonna get killed by that "technical" nerf, but shadow was nerfed as well, though only slightly it may not help mothers much.

    Well the shadow nerf hits harder than you think

    MW: 12% *1.525 = 18.3%
    HOTR: 9% *1.525 =13.7%

    100%-(13.7% / (18.3/100))=100%-74.86% = 25.14% nerf to the Shadow Mundus alone.

    Thats a 4.6% difference in Krit dmg compared MW

    Sun for DKs and Netch/Nerco For Sorcs, Scathing? Perhaps still mothers sorrow for NBs, What did magplars use? War madien?. Wardens can use Nerco.

    Probably IA will be replacing MS

    I Wouldnt count on it, but if this stays as it is now, its in a very good position for a 5/5/1 setup

    I think it might be a good thing. With the meta the way it was going, it would have given people incentive not run vet dungeons and trials more than ever considering Mother's Sorrow is a BoE. It will still be good just not as good as it would have been.

    No it's not.
    5x mother sorrow + 5 julianos + 1 iceheart with the shadow mundus stone barely reach 60% of crit chance, which means that the above combo gives 20% less crit chance than intended (or at least what we had on pts until yesterday) .
    Not to mention the shadow mundus stone nerf
    Same gear but thief mundus stone and you jump to 70% crit chance....which is probably not worth it considering you're giving up magic damage.

    More testing needed, but I'm quite sure magicka dps classes will go back to the old bis.

    From looking at IA it actually looks really nice, problem is that I dont have 5 piece set of it atm to test, anyone tested to see how it compares with others at all yet? Also, anyone know how shadow is doing with the nerf? I'm currently still downloading and dont know if its still the "best overall" mundus for most of the stam and mag dps like it was on pts.

    Im afraid IA boost wasn't intended, as it looks way overpowered.
    As for the shadow....is bad, and unnecessary

    IA now has the exact 5-th piece crit bonus as Mother's Sorrow +903 heavy attack damage, and 10 seconds of Minor Vuln. it also has a 833 crit 2-piece bonus, Minor Slayer, and 129 SD 4th piece.

    Total crit from IA:
    1924 + 833 = 2757 / 219 = 12.59% crit

    Mother's Sorrow:
    833 + 833 + 1924 = 3590 / 219 = 16.34% crit

    16.34 - 12.59 = 3.75%

    how will sun and bsw work dropping the monster set on a dk staff user? and would it be viable using them 2 sets with witchmothers for regen?

    The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
    This is the place in the North West of England

    It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

    From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

    Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and



    So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

    We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

    And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

    And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten



    And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

    And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

    And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

    But the Manchester way is to make it yourself



    And make us a record, a new number one

    And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

    And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

    And make us sing louder and make us believe it



    that this is the place that has helped shape the world

    And that this the place where a Manchester girl

    Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

    Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride



    And this is the place with appliance of science

    We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

    In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

    Mancunians in union delivered it all



    Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

    And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

    So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

    But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!



    And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

    And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

    And so this is the place to do business, then dance

    Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance



    And this is the place where we first played as kids

    And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

    And this is the place where our folks came to work

    Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt



    And they built us a city. They built us these towns

    And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

    Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

    They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves



    And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

    The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

    And to work and to build, to connect and create and

    Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great



    And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

    Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

    And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

    All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets



    Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

    Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

    But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

    Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics



    And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

    But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

    Because this a place where we stand strong together

    With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever



    And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)

    Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

    Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

    We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!



    Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

    You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

    You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

    We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way



    And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

    We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

    We support local groups and the great work they do

    So can you …help us help… local people like you?



    Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

    Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

    ‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

    That this is the place. We should give something back.

    Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.

    Apprentice and Shadow were very close before the nerfs according to Asayre's math on the PTS forum. I can't see Shadow being ahead after today.

    Spell damage stacking (aka old meta) seems like the way to go again. I was hoping for a shakeup... Oh well.

    Simply not true.

    Pre-patch the same combo gave you 64 % and hotr buffed Mother's Sorrow slightly. Haven't logged in myself yet, but it still got buffed so how could you fall below 60 % crit when you could reach it pre patch?

    Regardless, it's not nearly enough, especially after the nerf to Shadow. Mother's Sorrow is going back into the garbage bin.

    The real kicker is the nerf to Shadow, very unnecessary. I still see mothers being viable, just perhaps not bis. Either way, was a very cheap move of zos to announce buffs to the set then nerf it hard the very last minute
