wtf? no hardcap of 4secs on warlock bolts?

hmm wait: since warlock don't have 2.5secs castbolts... they won't change anything off warlock.

 

[Wazkyr]

patches get smaller and smaller... wonder if they will fix the classes that still need it instead of all this random pet/emote stuff.

They still didnt fix archery as they said they would, and tbh give friar love for groups, not crap healprocs.

 

[suelothvar]

lock forum is saying on pend, lock bolts ARE now 2 sec casts

 

[Basic_X]

arrr. not so bad i respecced to runecarving

 

[Infanity]

If a cabby pet spams emotes and someone complains does the pet get a ban <grin>

Was thinking the same!

Dear Goa.

I was very offended with a Saphire Silcrum spammed /rude at me 5 times, Here is the screen shot.

 

[Thornbeard]

like it! ^^

 

[crispy]

Lols.. with all the firewizzys running around nowadays and the fast castspeed of the bolts i guess casters from other realms will have it really hard...

Think about this;

the wizzard can start casting the fire spec dd before the first bolt hits resulting in INSANE frontloaded dmg... At least on a caster - tanks etc dont really get damaged by bolts due to AF/Abs etc..

 

[Eruptix]

2.0s RC RM bolts...sigh

mythic

@crispy
you mean;cast the DD right after the bolt,which has been used by bolters for a while now
--Bolt Cast
--DD cast
--Bolt Landing
--DD Landing
--Second bolt Cast
--Second bolt landing

= dead caster

 

[Ryuno]

What a fucking useless patch

 

[Dallas]

hi der mom5 wp5 2xbolts+nuke like 2k dmg insta from wizz and rc runies.. and op elds!

 

[Joor]

Cast timers reduced from 2.5 to 2.0 seconds doesnt change anything. If cast speed really have a cap at 1 sec..you need 375 dex to cast bolt at 1 sec.
With 375 dex and bolt @2.5 cast speed, Cast Time is 1.0462 sec

 

[Ging]

hmm cabbies need 233 (90% return) delve baseline lejftajp! mine does anyway! im almost bought to tears when i dont two shot casters atm

this isn't the whole patch, just an update to the test server. They've been adding small updates like this for as long as the test server's been up, so they can test the latest bit to get finished.
The patch as a whole adds a new bg, underwater areas to the classic zones of 2 realms, and quite a few class adjustments aswell, so it's not really that small a patch when you look at the whole patch...

2:england: 0

 

[Dakkath]

I guess they just haven't got the caster tank balance yet...

<Waits for 1.84I and all caster spells get +20 delve>

 

[Tualatin]

patches get smaller and smaller...

This is just the .H version .. meaning in 1.84 there are 7 patches with prolly same amount or more changes in em.. that will make the 1.84 patch.

@crispy

Ah yeah i know but then you are able to throw 2 dd's with this change maybe?

Or maybe even throw that last bolt from earth spec

 

[Svartmetall]

2.0s RC RM bolts...sigh

mythic

Lol, and how's that any different from 2.0 sec Wizard bolts?

Oh yeah, that's right, Wizards have higher-delve bolts. You're actually trying to whine about something that does your realm just as much good as ours, only your bolt caster has the advantage to begin with.

--Bolt Cast
--DD cast
--Bolt Landing
--DD Landing
--Second bolt Cast
--Second bolt landing

= dead caster

With the crazy damage casters do at the moment, that = dead anyone, pretty much.

Oh, and once again the Wizard comes out on top - with Mythic's insane decision to love up Wizard damage in 1.83, now they can debuff for their second bolt, unlike any other bolter out there.

 

[crispy]

RC bolts >>>>> fire bolts because of peoples crappy energy resists

Everyone caps heat - no none got more energy in template than the odd 5% from a random item

 

[Leel]

Shit, that's some serious warlock love if they lower cast time from 4 to 2 seconds (though still unmodifiable cast time).

 

[Ballard]

except for the fact that bolts are more effected by AF than your magic resists.

 

[Alachbar]

I guess we will see a heavy nerf on caster damage. This is just some of the preparations to minimize the whine.

 

[Andrilyn]

except for the fact that bolts are more effected by AF than your magic resists.

50/50 iirc.
Though if you got very high AF (pally/Heretic) you can basically completely "soak" up the AF damage part, like if you get bolted for 1500 pre resists/AF the AF would take off like 700 damage and the resists (if you got 50%) will take off 375 ending up with being bolted for 425 which seems about right and half of that if you also partially block the bolt.

 

[Azathrim]

I guess we will see a heavy nerf on caster damage. This is just some of the preparations to minimize the whine.

That would make no sense. When they do that, they have usually done it by nerfing ... then giving the little boon to soften the whine. Not the other way around.

Besides, I personally think Tank vs. Caster is pretty balanced in FG vs. FG.

 

[Svartmetall]

Besides, I personally think Tank vs. Caster is pretty balanced in FG vs. FG.

But that's just in 8v8. In everything else, especially siege, caster damage is ridiculous.
