Oh well, instead of 2k DPS (if you weren't hitting 2k single target you were doing something wrong), you'll sit at 1400, *just* above a top tier sorc and about 50% higher than a NB will ever hit.

As a DK, i rarely wear heavy armor now coz i am more effective with light armor. I would love to see them nerf light armor (which will have the undesired effect of nerfing Templars and Sorcerors who rely on light armor)

QQ, you got nerfed a little bit, not enough by far, and now you want revenge?

its not enough they already nerfed ultimate? You need them to nerf Templar/NB even more, thats the way you want to cope with this....

Makes me sick.

How is nerfing your dps effecting your tanking capabilities.

It's obvious you're bi-curious. Which is ok...

But in the end, you have to choose one.

We'll support you either way.

One, talons dps was garbage, it was used for CC. But since it doesnt work for *** since 1.1.2, why not nerf it more? Couple that with blocking/1h &S abilities being nerfed to douing less damage than a resto staff user, why dont you tell me why we are pissed?

Stuff

I believe they aren't fixing our Magicka Management for different reasons.

1. The Templar class has strong healing line that "endless magicka" doesn't serve well to as then we would DPS and Heal quite well so the poor Magicka Management keeps us in line with the other classes without being OP.

OR

2. Our class is where they want us to be in the game while they bring the rest of the classes in line with Templars...this includes the Magicka Management. Reducing the amount of Magicka gain on all other classes actually serves quite well to the Magicka/Stamina balance.(This is my belief)

---

My personal opinion on the balance of Magicka vs Stamina....

Magicka is meant to be High Damage low sustainment.
Stamina is meant to be Standard Damage High Sustainment.

Stamina relies HEAVILY on Light/Heavy Attack for damage and their abilities are there for support and slight DPS burst, this would still be lower than Magicka burst.

Stamina builds ALSO benefit from the increased survivability that Stamina builds also bring IE Block, Dodge, Stun

Magicka is meant to run out bringing the DPS of an ALL Magicka user lower than that of a Stamina user.


Based off the above theory the system is broken. Magicka users DONT run out of Magicka and if they do its not fast enough nor long enough to really matter in the long run thus creating the imbalance we are seeing in the game.

melee should always have a large burst . its the nature of end game magica can sit at range and stay out of mechanics easily. Melee should have high enough burst to kill adds fast , and be able to mach a ranged magica build sustained DPS.
Melee DPs should be high risk high yield.
Currently it is a sub par low producing high risk build. the reasons have to do with Four major factors.
1). Armor passives in heavy and medium are severly lacking. they soft cap way to easy and do not return the benefits light armor does at all

2) there are abilities in game that make you armor cap no matter what armor you wear. making it completely viable for you to mitigate and absorb damage as well as a Heavy wearing Tank build. with out any penalty to health or stamina due to the powerful passives in light. you can AP yourself into health soft cap with a couple of gllyphs. yet still retain endless supplies of magica and all the crit bonuses to your class abilities. niether of these scenario's can exist in heavy or medium

3).Stamina is used for far to many things in game other then just weapon abilities making a resource starved dynamic.Nor does the soft cap or reduction work like magica does nor have weapons that return them in obscene amounts from simple mouse attacks.

4). Melee abilites are severly underpowered and become restricted by animations.Add in the fact all boss encounters are extremely punishing to melee with one shot mechanics near bosses. as well as knock backs you rarely get a chance to do enough rotations to even make it worth the effort.

Dk's needed adjustments for sure but not in the utility department. its counter productive to the group mechanics ZOs designed. Tanks were supposed to be Taunting utility that controlled the battlefield . there is very little utility a DK provides now with talons nerf. when Zos throws 12 to 16 trash mobs at you routinely in VR dungeons the limit of radius and potential targets limited to 3 you might as well just take the ability out it sucks ass. its become a VR spam fest on every pull. there is no skill involved its rune and AOE. and some of the VR bosses are not doable for the average joe with the horrible tools we have for these encounters. the damage shields suck , damn near broken for the cost of them if you wear heavy armor. talons i wont even use anymore it wastes a slot. in hale is a joke now . it used to be an Oh crap handle for those situations the healer fell behind. Others exploited it for Ulti building in light armor but to each his own. i never used that chicken *** easy mode build.currently as it stands Zos will need to dumb down the content even further and water down Group mechanics to a window licking drool pace to balance out the massive nerf's they are handing down. Believe me its not gonna stop at DK.
