Right now everyone is talking about the changes to healers and their playstyle and whatnot, but it seems nobody noticed this:
Holy Moly, this is huge:
- Magicka tanks no longer need SNB backbar for this debuff.
- Stamsorcs solo is getting huge buff
- Trashfights in trials will be easier
- Something else?
Wow, I hope it goes live
Edited by troomar on July 9, 2019 8:37PM Razor Caltrops (morph): This ability no longer deals initial hit damage, but instead applies Major Fracture to enemies hit by the DoT, up to 4 seconds at Rank IV.

Yes.

troomar✭✭✭✭Major Fracture is applied by the DoT part, so I suppose it gets refreshed every time the DoT hits. That means unless the mob leaves Caltrops area of effect, the debuff remains on it for the duration of this skill (10 seconds).Yes.1

the debuff is applied by the dot, so as long as the enemy stays inside the aoe the debuff stays on them

troomar✭✭✭✭I think that works out to a 14 second debuff after the last refresh.
To be precise it's probably 13 seconds, because the DoT should start doing damage 1 second after the cast, so 9 second for the duration plus 4 seconds after the last tick.
The real question is if this skill will be still worthy to slot as the damage is going to be negligible.Yes.1 -
Druid40✭✭✭✭Indeed. This should make solo content a little more doable for stamina DDs without the class debuff or for parts of trials where a tank is not able to debuff an object or enemy NPC due to mechanics.Edited by Druid40 on July 7, 2019 9:50AM0 -
macsmooth✭✭✭✭If it refreshes then I like this change, will miss the initial hit damage but hey it’s giving classes without major fracture access to it without a s&b
But if it has a cool down on each enemy that is more than the 4 seconds then it’s another story0 -
SaucyMcSauceface✭✭✭✭The wording looks like they have replaced the initial damage with 4 seconds of fracture, not that each tock applies the fracture. The 60% nerf to the damage is horrid for PvE though, especially when the tank will be applying fracture anyway. It is essentially a 60% nerf for no gain in PvE.

right?
Ah, you may be right. That would make it a lot more useful.0 -
akray21✭✭✭✭✭Good for trash fights and parses, but not good for single target dps in a group environment.0

I tried the ability on PTS and it refreshes as long as the mob stands inside.Yes.0 -
