Sources of Major Prophecy and Savagery

i11ionward · September 2023

I am very disappointed that now the strongest classes in pvp (DK and NB) can easily get Major Prophecy and Savagery passively, on both bars, from skils that are already present in every build (Inferno and Shadow Cloak).

I demand that Expert Hunter and Magelight also give the Major Prophecy and Savagery buff to both bars. This would be true for the other classes that still exist in the game for now, who are forced to use the already weaker fighters/mages guild skills than class skills to get buffs.

Agreed, for what is supposed to be such a standard/basic buff for both healers and dps alike, it's strange that it's so hard to acquire and use efficiently for all but 2 classes.

Guys, DKs have been hit with nerfs to damage done every patch since u35 (passives and abilities plus on top of it sustain got worse). Go find victims somewhere else.

No matter my precious Corrosive Armor - instead of a lash I feel I am now wielding a cucumber. Seriously, I came to read the patch notes ready to quit the game if I see another DK nerf coming. It is this bad.

Even though DK has been weakened since U35, DK actually still dominates PVE and PVP.
Most players don't encourage neff DK, they actually ask for BUFF other classes
But since other classes are still at the bottom and DK is still in the dominant class, buffing DK now will undoubtedly arouse public outrage.

I'm not asking for DK to be nerfed, I'm asking for fairness for other classes, if DK and NB can get Major Prophecy and Savagery passively on both bars with just one skill, then other classes should get the same opportunity.
So your posts about DK being a victim are completely unnecessary in this thread.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable request that should be implemented.

Stay safe

@i11ionward - welp, I actually agree with you, didn't make myself clear apparently.

I do hope devs will continue with this new "slot on one bar and receive the passive on both", and recent changes to Bound Armor imho is a move in a good direction. I do wish other classes will get buffed this way. Especially NECRO gaddamit XD!

But I think every class should have something unique only available to them, I don't like the idea of "generic" skilllines becoming this sort of ability. I remember the times when stamplars in Deadly run jabs + FG abilities on their bar, since 2 bar rotation was just a waste of time and DPS since you were not jabbing.

DK only gets the major crit buffs on the bar Inferno is on. Missed this from Week 1 patch notes somehow.

And I, as a NB main, wish that Major Prophecy and Society on either bar was given to Expert Hunter and Magelight. Would have made more sense balance wise

That said, having a reliance on guild abilities is not ideal and would rather classes get to utilise their own skills.

Templar has the Major crit buffs for like 20s after casting a dot so works on both bars but obviously comes at the price of a bar slot.

Warden has Lotus Flower which is a good skill.

Sorc and Necro are lacking it AFAIK.

They need to just add a passive source of Major Prophecy and Savagery to every class and redo several of the antiquated Mages and Fighters skills.

Inferno now provides major crit to both bars with this upcoming patch.

ZOS, you were able to nerf corrosion, I hope you can make a thread subject during this PTS cycle.

I somehow missed that it week 1 patch notes, so thanks

Still, Sorc and Necro could do with a consideration in this area rather than relying on slotting a non-class skill on one if not two bars.
