Can you please explain...

Saltisol

Can you please explain the reasoning that led to the decision to reduce the Daedric Prey by 50 % ?
It would be very interesting to know why you would do this to what's in my personal view is a one of the class defining skill´s for a sorc, the pets. Damage reduced by 50% seems uncalled for and more so as you don't even bother to a comment on why it was done.

ChunkyCat

The decision was made due to the fact that the skill was doing 50percent more damage than was intended.

Saltisol

Hehehe you really put some thought into this

If it was only a single skill that was affected it wouldn't really affect the scorc but as it affects 3 (for me) major skills such as the 2 pets and our ultimate it really hits hard (no pun intended)

There are a number of recent pet sorc threads in the PTS forums, @Saltisol.

Make sure you're doing a forums search on recent topics before starting a new thread.

People are free to start any thread they want. But, of course, you'll usually meet this kind trolling BS if you do.

This change to DP stinks. Like pretty much all of this patch, it feels like something that makes logical sense to no one. If I were in the group of snowflakes responsible, I would be hiding too.

It got nerfed because pet sorcs were too op and easy to play. Hardly any skill required and dominating pvp and on top dps wise in pve and good survivability.

I can agree that it is really easy to play, that's what I liked about it. I play nightblade as well and that class is (for me) very demanding so I play the pet sorc as a more relaxed toon. Furthermore I usually don't stand a chance at melee range but it's strong at a range and I think that is as it should be.

Why is "easy to play" a bad thing ?

I would say that "dominating" and "top dps" is exaggerated they did well but no way near to justify a 50% decrease in damage for 3 skills.
