Post patch Damage and hit update.

Since the patch last night, I no longer see 700+ Crits with a 5 stacked charge, this is good. ( Themo Appreicates it!)
I do still see, although a lot less frequent, 400ish crits. ( may still want to moniter these for accuracy)
I have noticed that im missing about 50% (or more) than I was prior to the patch, was this an unintended side effect to the coding?.
I chose to place these into feedback since I don't think they are game breaking atm and classify as a bug.

Any other thoughts on this?

 

I feel like we're being ninja patched here.

The ICBM long bow also got fixed as well.

 

I was looking at the very last line of the patchnotes. I think that is where it was a coverall...
Don't get me wrong the 5 charge needed to be fixed when I can 1 shot anyone in leather or less and plate wearers with less than 500hps that is an issue.

 

Ya I'm bummed...my ice fist and ice arrow no longer stack effects so I am down to 65% slow...Ice damage is already quite gimped so it was a serious blow to my poor mage.

 

So they patched the Ice stacking to 100% as well? That was tested the same night as the melee base damage. Problem was when tested it wasn't just a snare, it was a 100% immobilize. You couldn't turn or anything. Now If you think about it, if your frozen 100% id think you are stuck. But that isn't how it's designed as of now.

 

Well considering you have to work quite hard to get to 100% with fist and arrow it always made sense to me. Ice only has 2 offensive spells. I have asked for ice ball or some freezing spell to be added many times...I was good with the compromise of freeze 100%...It was a balancing act keeping 1 mob frozen while another was hitting you...it surely wasn't OP for PvE...Now it's low damage and low utility...very sad indeed.

 

I would suggest bug reporting it, sounds like it unintentionally got nerfed in the process..

 

I reported it...Not expecting it to be a bug tho haha

 

I would ask for your logs to parse, but unfortunately, because exactly what missed is not enumerated in the log, it's impossible to offer accurate feedback with the current combat log format.

It's also great to see the ninja nerfs. I was missing that from other games.
Hint: If you change something, put it in the freaking patch notes!

 

That is based off of 10 auto attack swings. Last test ( 3 sets of 10) was average 8. This same test last night was Average of 4 hits. Ill do more testing tonight, I spoke we a few other testers, Themo being one of them and they had noticed similar instances of misses.

 

Charged attack doesn't crit as often and when it does I'm max'ing at about 440 crit. BUT after the patch last night Themo and Stank still crit'd each other for over 600. The 5 stacked glyphs hit very hard. Its up to the attunes. If your attunes are opposite OR if you are way more attuned it'll hit hard.

 

Oh yeah 5 stacked glyphs are unaffected. This was in reference to the simple 5 stack weapon charge. Did you notice more misses last night?

 

Didn't notice more misses per se.
Just less crits. Still hit almost every shot, just hitting for like 70-120 non-crit, and a crit of 390-440 pretty often. Lots of 100-250 crits too. Just felt like they nerfed top-end to me.

 

Hmm, I'll run a lot more tests tonight, was using auto attack on a 10 swing scale to monitor it. (tend to do that weekly to notice changes with stats or the game changing) Ill move it up to a 20 swing baseline and run 5 sets from here forward to get a solid baseline. But I was seeing a hellva lot of misses last night. Perhaps it was the RNG gods laughing at me ^^

 

Oh and was that PVE or PVP? I'm referring to PVE with the misses.

 

Totally PvE!! Switched to sword on Tuesday, not doing much PvP until I level em up. Whirling Bades is like lvl 33 lol!

Still have my Bludgoen Deck as Alternate though. So, bring it!
