Warlock

- Warlocks are able to combine certain abilities in ways that, in conjunction with a few of their high damage spells, significantly overpowers them. This is exaggerated even more because the amount of damage done by certain Warlocks spells is so high. To help mitigate this issue, we have reduced the damage for the following Hexing spell lines:

2 Lesser Beguiled Pain – Damage: 10
3 Beguiled Pain – Damage: 15
8 Greater Beguiled Pain – Damage: 34
13 Lesser Beguiled Pain – Damage: 66
18 Beguiled Injury– Damage: 77
24 Greater Beguiled Injury – Damage: 97
34 Lesser Beguiled Hex – Damage: 135
43 Beguiled Hex – Damage: 168
49 Greater Beguiled Hex – Damage: 191

5 Infernal Sore – Damage: 9/pulse
9 Infernal Eruption – Damage: 15/pulse
19 Infernal Rot – Damage: 37/pulse
30 Infernal Degeneration – Damage: 55/pulse
41 Infernal Infection – Damage: 76/pulse
46 Infernal Erosion – Damage: 88/pulse


Rest of the Test notes can be seen here if your intrested

Well, that was it for Midgard in Catacombs, then. No reason to actually buy the expansion - Valks are pointless and Warlocks no better than what we have already.

- Hovering over any stats display (Strength, Constitution, etc) will now bring up a tooltip that will list base stats, item bonus, item cap, item bonus waste (bonus that exceeds your current cap), bonuses from spells/buffs, and any bonuses from RAs or class specific abilities.

Sweet change imo.

What’s your point? your basically saying "OMG they have balanced a class with its realm so its not stupidly harsh making all other classes redundant. Oh what shall i do"

Id much rather they gave classes that are balanced right from the off tbh.

the entire point of the expansion is the new very op classes, as with si they are released very op, then nerfed after the majority of players has brought the expansion so that game 'balance' is restored.
as per usual mythics swings with the nerf bat are likely to be as varied as ever, ranging from tiny, only what, 15 shrooms at once? oh no! to class toasting, seen many grps running a savage lately anyone?

if you think mythic delibertly make these classes overpowered to keep people interested in the game and make them roll the class you are retarded.

Well the nerf doesnt seem to make the warlock useless in any way, they still retain their ability to cast at greater range, uninteruptable etc, so should still be an interesting class to play. Its just been toned down in damage, which is good considering it could autokill most targets if it decided to burn all its effectivness on one target.

More quickbars is sweet :)

The rvr missions - well, remains to be seen how viable they will be, and if there isnt a system for notifieing the other 2 realms where your mission will be taking you i see little point in the low profile missions such as the killing of npc's etc.
If there was a notice on the Commanders, something like "yes lad, the little birds have whispered to me that a nasty briton going by the name of <name> is said to be heading to the Arvakr Faste Outpost area to kill one of our scouts out there. You better go stop him before its too late" or "Enemies have been sighted making their way to intercept our caravan! Go stop those filthy bastards!" etc. This would bring players into contact with each other. Could work like a matchmaking service, where one side announces its willingness to take a mission, but the mission doesnt start until an enemy has taken up a countermission. Oh well :)

Matt Fior <sp?> basicly said that in a quote...he said they need to make new classes actractive (read Overpowered) when they first release an expantion. So I think your the one in the wrong here.

Hot fix

Armsman

- After seeing a armsman in action with the new style-damge, the overall polearm dps has been lowered to clamped 3.0 dps for a lvl 50 weapon, also Polearm has been renamed to Feather.

100% correct this is what was said.

And the alternative is that Mythic's tesing was so limited/poor it failed to pick up the damage potential. (They did anyway imo)

I do wonder whether this is all there will be. This is how the scout nerfs started.

Its an increased damage on a taunt style. Its armsmen love, sure, but no more than if we got class-specific frilly hats or something. :p

It's a nerf on hexing spells that will hit hard the fotm 44/30 specs ... it doesn't look this class killing as people are showing, I think most will just reroll to 3-specs and higher Curse to minimize the nerf effect. Sad, tho, that all the hurry isn't used also to fix that amazingly crap class called valkyrie, but this is WAI.

Newsflash for you, Thanes have been laughed at since 1.40. Valkyrie was an attempt at the Thane Mark 2, now we have 2 classes to laugh at.
