This all?

xI_The_Owl_Ix

Are we getting another thread with PTS notes or are these changes all we get for this week?

I dont even how to react to these changes...

1. Warden and Necro still overperfoming in PvP
2. Nightblades Dark Cloak (terrible heal) gets a nerf ???
3. Templar gets "buffed" which arent even buffs
4. Malacath gets a buff ?????????
5. etc.

I literally dont know how to react to these changes. What is ZoS thinking?

Malacath got nerfed. Procs can't crit and people who used malacath primarily combined it with two procs, and didn't focus on critical strike chance at all. If you were using it without two proc sets and say two stat sets, it will still be pretty decent.

Its nerf to people who only use proc dmg sets, however being able to crit again makes this ring pretty much BiS on any build that doesnt have very high crit. Given the fact that crit chance also took a big hit recently its 100% a buff.

So the healing of the class which already has the weakest healing in the game gets nerfed even tho nobody complained it nor was that skill meta over the other morph. It's a fun skill which enables a different playstyle and is used by maybe 5 nightblades in Cyro, yeah lets nerf that. Meanwhile the Templar healing buffs rofl. Not hard to see which classes the devs are playing.

How exactly are Necromancer and Warden “overperforming”? Just saying they are over performing without any context in a PTS feedback forum doesn’t really help anyone..

I felt a bit of sadness seep in to my soul for my NB tank reading the Dark Cloak change. We were already the tank class with no class based burst heal and now the HoT takes a hit. much sadness

Stamcro, Stamden have been overperforming in PvP for several updates now. Warden got a heal nerf this update which is fine but the offensive abilities are still overperfoming. Just look at Sub Assault tooltip and Blastbones tooltip. Both skills are AoE and have almost the same/or same tooltip than Merciless Resolve which is supposed to be the hardest hitting non ultimate "assassin" skill.
They also have/had insane self heals and great dmg mitigation.

Why nerf Dark Cloak? In what parallel universe was Dark Cloak over performing?

What do you mean 100% buff? You need to have pretty high crit damage, to compensate 9% damage nerf, as you get only 50% of your crit damage.

Its very easy to get above 100% crit dmg. With current malacath you get 16% dmg as well as 50%+ crit dmg, instead of 25% dmg increase with 0% crit dmg. Its 9% less dmg but 50% more crit dmg. Its a buff.

I find it humorous that there are threads complaining that it got nerfed.

That different people can see this as either a nerf or a buff tells me it was just right...lol
