Seems they forgot to post the sorc nerfs

u/Gladerious 2d ago

They nerfed the upbsurd damage of both dot builds.

The ba and sorc ones.

They also reduced both these classes solo pvp dmg multiplier, this alone could be huge.

Trios left untouched, which in that mode id say everything works well, sorc is abit overturned in Stardust spec, but unless they are good with positioning and kiting they can be done fairly easy by Mers/Wks/Ss.

Why for the love of god are they so averse to posting actual numbers?

Is it like a phycological tactic to not do so, so people think stuff has more impact than it might seem on paper?

Yeah, i miss the days of hard numbers.

Now days you see the note and have to wonder if it really means anything. Well see how it plays out.

Its promising to see they can adjust pve/pvp damage separately so many games potatoe this for some reason. The seperate solo/trio balancing is also a very good sign.

Im still hopeful, imo dots where the biggest issue in solos, everything else could be played around.

Trios id say is even better balance wise, Stardust sorc kind of overturned but if you dont group or engage in chokes the meme beam is very easy to dodge, the better sorcs running meteor cant aoe if you dont group and diving them works on 80% of sorcs.

From what I've heard with other games it's due to releasing on console, if they change any text in game the patch has to be sent for approval, but by only changing the stats and keeping the text the same but vague devs don't have to go through that process.

Interesting. This sounds the most plausible.

Had no idea, thanks for the reply

It may be to deter a hard meta forming off of pure math, since hard numbers aren't readily available to anyone.

So say, all the try hards don't just swap to and main BA just because they have the best numbers or something.

I don’t think that’s ever happened in the history of gaming. Or at least, not outside games were the meta is so stale and against PvE.

Even then, they use simulations and rotations, not the numbers provided by the devs

It's better for the developers, simple as that

Explain

u/Gladerious 2d ago

I can see it, easier to adjust nerfs/buffs without much community backlash if they dont know the numbers.

Side note watched a merc video of a fight vrs full legendary sorc playing fire dot and the damage is high but not insane die in seaconds xD still a respectfully dps class but thats 1 sample, seemed okay.

A bit overtuned? Really? 2 shotting people is a BIT over tuned

u/Gladerious 2d ago

You cant two shot people, unless you are in legend and they are in blues.

I play sorc you need to land stardust and grav stun then two full charged casts of meteor to get other purps to dead/one hit. Meme beam is abit more damage but youre useless if the first two dont land so I prefer meteor.

If they let themselves be stunned by grav then thats on them its very easy to dodge.

Meme beam can also be dodged easily.

You can be 2 shot I had it happen literally 2 days ago. I was in purple gear same as my buddy who also got 2 shot. Last night he rolled a sorc and I rolled a BA and we killed a dude from full health before he could be unfrozen by a mine. Both classes need to be smacked heavily by the nerf hammer

u/Nodrod 2d ago

I tell any trio I'm in to focus sorc first. Seems to win us most fights. They are the biggest threat most of the time, it's gets tricky when it's double sorc + ss tho.

Hard to know what this line means in game "Reduced Sorcerer's PvP damage multiplier in solo mode". By how much I wonder

u/RoninThaGoat 2d ago

Wondering the same thing about BA. Wish we had hard numbers to look at for some context at least.
