Double spec bow

At 1st, I thought "wow, double stacks, that will really help it stand out against it's stronger cousin; Grim Focus, how unique! It matches Crystal Weapon's double hit mechanic nicely too! Neat.. but okay, 10% nerf, that's fair for double the stacks, I don't like it, but I can swallow it. Really wish they hybridized that stamina at least."
Then I got to Nightblade's Grim Focus and suddenly every ounce of gratitude I felt changed into distain and resentment. They couldn't stop themselves from reproducing yet ANOTHER mechanic between these 2 skills. 2 stacks plus the nerf on BA makes sense, on Grim Focus it's appauling. How is BA nerfed when it already deals +50% less, doesn't heal, hits less often due to it's terrible delay, and provides an inferior 8% stam vs 300 damage? Oh.. and let's buff up that damage to 450 while we're at it lol, nevermind the potential 600 people will get by slotting and forgetting on back bar. Essentially 2x 5 piece bonuses. Better than something like Grave Lord Sacrifice which is dedicated to buffing. How does any of this make sense?
To make things even funnier, let's buff up that 2% crit chance to 2.5%, change that 3k pen that usually went over cap to 8% crit that can't be capped, hybridize MAGICKA Flood to include stamina (forgetting Bound Armaments), and while we're at it, let's declare that Daedric Summoning is no longer for no pet sorc's.. yoink.. we're taking that +10% stam/mag back. Subclass to NB, duh, you don't belong here.
Idk what dev has had it out for Sorc or why NB has this type of favouritism the past 3-4 years, but it's exhausting at this point how obvious it is. Also poor DK, most classes at least went neutral/buffed, but they just got nerfs across the board.
Because combat lead likes nb, it’s kind of well know. That and the combat team is out of touch with the actual game.Edited by Zyaneth_Bal on April 19, 2025 9:05AM0 -
Einstein_✭✭✭✭The fact that they even come up with ideas like "double bow" makes me scared of any upcoming balancing that would be needed for that subclassing madness.
Sometimes i really feel that the combat team around Brain wheeler don't know their own game.
That would be all ok if they would take input from experienced players in this game (not the avg Forum JOE)..
but they sadly don't....3 -

They nerfed daedric summoning (basically deleted a passive that no one would slot anyway), combustion (only serves to hurt pure dk sustain), magicka flood (why, who even cares), mage’s fury (what’s the point in nerfing a dead skill) and others but buff spectral bow.
It’s like they see the game for the first time ever.Edited by Zyaneth_Bal on April 19, 2025 9:26AM3
