Aug Acuity and Nightshades

[Gef]

Just reading the patch notes for 1.62 and found this:

- The Augmented Acuity RA now affects power pool and damage for Nightshade spell abilities.

Anyone got any figures? And does this hold true of Int also or is it just for the RA?

 

[VodkaFairy]

Nightshade spells will be rubbish until they make big changes to it (like, double or tripple the damage and shorten the timer).

 

[Gef]

Every little helps! I for one use my DD at the start of every fight, usually hits for 80ish, if the fight lasts more than 20 secs then you have another. Its free damage, if thats raised with int then more power to us!

 

[vintervargen]

off topic but

anyone tried a pierce/cd nightshade w/o CS who destealths with dd? talking assasin vs assasin

- such as 50 pierce 39 cd 34 env 34 stealth

 

[VodkaFairy]

Yeah I did, but the damage is simply horrible. The extra offhand swings are nice but the CS styles are soo much better.

Gef, if your dd hits for 80 damage you're fighting horrible gimps without high cold resist. In duels the DD varies between 40 and 60 damage with capped cold. It's better to save the endurance for an extra style which will hit for 100+

A ns really needs the high damage CS styles to be able to compete a little bit with other assassins, the last two styles in the anytime pierce chain still hit for 20-30% less damage than garrote. :/

From what I remember from the TL over on the US boards, the difference is so small you're unlikely to notice it.

Augmented Aquity will still be worthless it will raise damage by 1 or 2 points and give us a larger mana pool.
Very usefull, i dont think i have ever run out of power anyway, oh wait it was this time i was rooted and i actually finished my power pool on an enemy and he was sitting there laughing, wouldnt have killed him even if i had MCL 3, and Raging Power.
So no, Augmented Aquity will not help at all, but hey at least now we cannot moan about having to buy a Realm Skill that does nothing and i guess that is enough for Mythic.

Oh and i forgot, the DD damage is not for free, it costs End, better to pull of a Garrote, or save it for a Diamondback.

used to be STR that added to powerpool and damage. This was one of the reasons Celts didn't get to be NS.

I'm just guessing they're changing it now, so the new TOA race will have higher str/con and can be a NS, maybe

Doubt they will change the casting stat but I pretty much guarentee we'll see a new NS race from TOA

If so I will be very dissapointed, should give NS love not a new race that screws existing Shades

 

[Sichama]

Well Kicks you know you can have sex and be loved at the same time... ocassionaly.
So if a new race that can be a NS is coming and it will screw us lets hope we will get it with Love, if not oh well you can't really appreciate a good screw, until you have a bad one.

Bah there is no real person behind those enemys, they just spawn for us to kill and gain RP's, next time tell me " The stlong kobby huntor , that usually spawns on the right cliff near the road just before you enter emain", and ill understand.
