spacefracking✭✭✭✭Whew, this thread is a trip. Totally missed Dark Convergence, but the fear of Hrothgar & Chill ended up *under*blown, because of whatever bug it is that is causing the mayhem many have seen.1 -

✭Took a 16k hrothgar last night. I get more sets on my death recap than skills. This is lame2 -
holden_caulfield✭✭✭Actually DC and hrothgar are not that good. In fact everybody and his mother equip those 2 set and their value at traders are really high.
And in my death recap I usually 2 hrothgar around 10k each.
But that doesn't prove nothing. I just have to l2p0 -

Guild trader prices are far more indicative of rarity of the gear. Week 1 those sets were going for a lot and now I can't even move pieces at 20K. Soon they will be just as valuable as Spell Strategist, which is just deconstruction fodder. Jewelry seems to be the only high priced pieces still and that is also because they are rarer drops.
Everybody uses them because they are the new thing. That will wear off as players get better at countering them. You will still have people using them of course. I myself played with DC for a night, it was fine, my normal setup was better. So I am back to the same build I've been running for 9 months.0 -
Cronopoly✭✭✭✭✭Got killed by Thunder Caller last night from stealther. One minute I was running in Cyr next second I was eating daisies. One Shot with 32K health. The heavy attack, Shock enchant, and Proc took me straight to Zero health. No counter play .
At least Plague, Dark Conv. and Hrothgar there is a chance to survive. Strong set indeed.0 -

Hrothgar not "that good"? It brings even elite players to their knees.holden_caulfield wrote: »Actually DC and hrothgar are not that good
"The Ultimate Desaster when it comes to balancing"
starting at 6:00, about Hrothgar at 7:10, result at 8:40:
"Sets like Hrothgar have no counter [...] all skill is eliminated from the game"

They really only buffed it for larger groupings of enemies. It's a pretty substantial nerf for BGs play and smaller scale fights.0 -

Well, but it can crit now, so 60% nerf to base dmg is kinda irrelevant. Also, since scaling per target was buffed, this set wil now hit as hard as it did before, but less people will be needed for that. On Average it can pull between 3 - 7 players, so now those players, no matter how tanky they are - they gonna get one-shoted by a set. Not even an ultimate - a gear set. An item will kill people.Tommy_The_Gun wrote: »They actually buffed Dark Convergence LOL

They specifically said:
"Item sets that scale in order of magnitude, or based on additional modifiers such as Relequen or Zaan, will not critically strike."
And then listed out the sets that would critically strike. Dark Covnergience is not on the list. So it will not critically strike, because it scales in power by number of players Hrothgar also won't crit because it's damage scaling isn't based on mag/stam spell/weapon damage.2 -

Anyway PTS is still down so there is no way to test it, but just by looking at the numbers, DC set will now have 50% dmg bonus per target vs 10% that is has now on live. So even if base damage is reduced by 60% - this set will still do similar, if not higher damage. I mean if I understand it correctly, even if one target is pulled - it will buff dmg per target by 50%. One target means 50% more damage - so it is roughly 10% overall dmg nerf - which is nothing. Even if it will be adding 50% more damage for every "additional" target - then if it pulls 3+ people, damage will be 100%+ which is kinda ridiculous (on live it is 60% more base damage +30% more damage if 3 targets are pulled).
DC may get even more crazy than what we have on live server, as this set will actually be more effective against small scale (including BGs) and absolutely devastating against anything more than 4...
^ Again, this is just a theory as PTS is still offline, but I am pretty sure that a lot of people will be testing this set...Edited by Tommy_The_Gun on September 21, 2021 6:47AM0
