Natch Potes, PvE DPS Magplar question.

Fang_of_Lorkhaj · July 2019

So I'd like some opinions from a pve dps magplar stand point. Shard and solar barrage got the "get fu**ed nerf" do you think the damage reduction will affect the classes performance? I mean currently on console magplar at the most are hitting 90k on the 21mil however I'm not sure that'll be the case after this patch goes live.

All AoE-Dots got nerfed while ST-Dots get buffed. We'll see how it works out. Even IF you loose 5 kDPS while everyone looses like 6k (random numbers) it will be a buff (although you lost dps).
Wait for parses from PTS and we'll see, there are too much changes to predict anything atm.

You will still have to use shards for the Burning light procs, depending on how good other single target dots are you can just drop every class ability outside of shards and enjoy your new build diversity.

To drop what? source of empower, when 25% of dps comes from light attacks? blockade which is source of LA damage and backbar enchantment 99% uptime? tbh, there is nothing to drop. Nightblades and sorc can drop shade and tormentor for one of new dots, but magplar? no.

You can drop Vamp bane/reflective and depending on how harsh the Barrage nerf works out compared to the strength of one of the new dots it might be worth dropping but probably not.
