Storm Atronach and Colossus nerf
Icaruzs
✭✭✭
Both were nerfed with major and minor buffs chances, colossus got his major vun reduced to 10% from 30% and got the major vun cd removed. Atronach got his major berserk nerfed to 10% from 25%
I understand that ZOS wants to nerf organized trial groups DPS, but with these changes the 4 group or solo dps (for the necro moslty) is going the get hurted a lot.
A Sorcerer doesn't have much group utility, this will push them even further on that matter, dps/healer or tank
Necro will still have utility in raid group, but the solo and 4 man group dps will be hurted, in some scenarios destro ult will do much more damage than the colossus that hits the average of 35k and his 10% increase damage ( the major vun 10% will only have a major impact in higher parses mostly).
They should increase colossus damage to make for this nerfs thinking in the solo and 4 man groups, and increase the number of player that can use the charged synergy for the storm atronach since it got nerfed too, and it was one those few utilities that a sorc could bring to a trial/4 man group.
Other classes were affected by those like warden permafrost, and they also need some changes to make it for the loss.

✭✭✭✭✭There should be an automatic major berserk buff for going within 5m of the atronach for up to 6 group members imo (including the caster themself and the atronach)

yeah it was strange they gave necro an ult that essentially is 3 disease dawnbreakers in a row while at the same time debuffing 25% damage recieved (essentially all group members gain 25% damage done)
then sorc atro has meh shock damage + 6m stun + a heafty dpt that is useless in pvp when the enemy just walks casually away + one group member that manages to get the synergy gets 25% damage done
>insert rant about stamsorc still not having morphs of any of the 6 ult morphs with 4 of them being stationary while it is a highly mobile class. The other 2 can get you banned because of exploiting without knowing.....so on and so onEdited by MincVinyl on September 24, 2020 10:34PM0 -
Vizirith✭✭✭✭I think the issue was that they thought some major buffs/debuffs were overperforming. Colossus major vuln was very powerful and with the removal of the cd, maybe they think it will still be decent if you have multiple necros rolling colossus to keep the buff going? Atronach was just hit by the overall change to buffs.
I don't really disagree with alot of these changes and think they do contribute a bit to increasing the ttk.0
