So uh...just how badly are Mother's Sorrow and Medusa getting nerfed this next patch?

DigiAngel · February 2021

Been gathering crystals and whatnot for swapping out Medusa with Mother's sorrow...but now I see they're getting the nerf hammer. Any PTS players have an idea of just how much? Been running MS/Julianos solo, and MS/Siroria in group play. Thinking I might have to just run Julianos/Siroria group and maybe Julianos and Burning Spellweave/Rattlecage/Scathing mage/back to Treasure Hunter.

Thought's on this? Thanks....glad I waited before I started dumping resources into the Medusa gear...

Crit has been nerfed across the board, the text below if from the PTS patch notes v6.3.0.

Itemization & Item Sets

Reduced the amount of Critical Chance Rating granted per set bonus to 657 (3%), down from 833 (3.8%). This means all sets and passives that granted Critical Rating have been adjusted to meet this new standard. All singular line stat bonuses have been adjusted to this value, while more specific adjustments will be called out below.

Reduced the single stat line of Critical Chance rating to 657, down from 833.
Reduced the Perfected ability augmenting stat lines of Critical Chance rating to 526, down from 666.
Berserking Warrior: Reduced the amount of Weapon Critical granted per stack to 241, down from 305.
Dragonguard Elite: This set now stacks up to 10 times, once every 0.5 seconds, up from 5 times every 1 second, and reduced the Weapon Critical per stack to 275, down from 475. Overall, this will result in an increase.
Eagle Eye and Wrath of the Imperium: Reduced the Critical Chance these sets’ 2-pieces grant to 1652, down from 1829.
Leviathan and Mother’s Sorrow: Reduced the Critical Rating these sets’ 5-piece bonuses grant to 1528, down from 1937.
Mechanical Acuity: Increased the cooldown of this set to 21 seconds, up from 18.
Medusa: Reduced this set’s 5-piece bonus of Spell Critical to 892, down from 900. Again, this is higher due to the 5-piece also being focused on a Minor buff.
Slimecraw: Reduced the 1-piece bonus of Critical Chance to 771, down from 833. This is higher than the normal bonus due to the 2-piece bonus being a Minor buff which you may already have access to.
Tzogvin’s: Increased the Weapon Critical per stack of this set to 177, up from 134.
