Oblivion damage in PVP

Cetrenoh

Hello guys,

Back in 2018 I remember Oblivion damage was not cut in a half by Battle Spirit, and ignored shields.
I heard it has changed, but can not find any really numbers or info about that.

So did it change and how its reduced now?

    it's been severely nerfed and damage is done based on a percentage of targets health.

    so its really only good against pve boss mobs. completely gutted for pvp

    Yeah shield stacers got mad there was a counter to their build and complained. Oblivion damage is useless in PVP now.

    Yep. Similar to bleed dmg. It used to ignore resistance... now it is not.

    Funny thing is that people complain now about tank meta... no wonder, if you those tools (that were counter to tanks) were vote-nerfed lol... :joy:

    Both of those supposed tools to beat tanks worked better when using them against builds that were not tanks on a tank build. That's why it got nerfed. Stop the noise.

    Just like the incoming high-penetration meta, that will affect less tanky builds the most, so we might see situation repeating itself.

    This is false, any high dmg STAT based build could easily out heal thru bleeds while tanks with low dmg and max stat would get punished

    The next meta is going to actually punish high dmg builds with lower then tank resistances esp with the 20% reduction to healing unless of course your in a ball group with healers
