Blademaster Changes

- The Blademaster Triple Wield special ability has been updated. It is now on a 7 minute re-use timer (it was previously set to 30 minutes). It now will stack properly with other damage adds - it will always increase damage no matter what other buffs or damage adds are currently affecting the Blademaster. Triple Wield also now makes Blademasters immune to critical melee damage.

- The Ice Storm -> Tempest -> Supernova chain has been modified for Blademasters only (i.e. Rangers and Nightshades are not affected by this). The damage for each has been increased, and Ice Storm now has a short stun component.

- Increased bleed damage for Celtic Dual combat styles Tempest and Twin Star. This is a Blademaster ONLY change - other classes that receive Celtic Dual will not see increased bleed effects on these styles.

YAY!

 

[hrun]

about time......

 

[chrstffr]

The purpose the light tank was designed for was to be a damage dealer, but not have much defense. Because of this, they should not be a good one-on-one class...

Gonna nerf evade or some shite like that though^^

 

[VodkaFairy]

Errrrrrr ok, the changes apply to blademasters but not to nightshades and rangers... Exactely why the hell is this? They should just make two separate lines, CD for for rogues and CD for blademasters. Not use the same styles and improve the damage for one class, and keep it extremely poor for another.

Way to go... I'm happy for blademasters though, tis not like they didn't deserve some luv

 

[old.ST200]

Humm VF, shades and rangers arent supposed to melee as well as BM's. >.<

 

[VodkaFairy]

Umm... that's not the point. Making a style good for 1 class and keep it bad for another is just weird. Not that it matters, nightshades only spec in CD for the extra offhand swings.

/me kneels and bows into a westernly direction...

/me prays for bm respec (gotta love perfectionism )

 

[censi]

the BM luv was pretty significant.

especially the TW boost. (7min timer is fooking A1!)
be intresting to see how much harder they generally hit for to.

Duel Poke Elf will be superb class too.

Now gimmme some ranger luv

 

[Karlo]

OMG GIV BM BACK

lol.

That TW on 7 min with immune to crit is too overpowered. I say nerf Not getting close to any bm ever now

 

[StormriderX]

TW change was nice - CD styles still worthless tho.

 

[ceix]

once again mythic does the nothing what the community wanted

the CD styles are still the same on pendragon, the damage scaling is a like a rollercoaster going up and down, and the side style is same as before, only it does 24bleed damage....

mythic decided to bring zerk down to bm/merc level, not bring merc and bm up, gg

not gonna reopen EU acc if they dont do some more tweaks :/

 

[elerand]

Not seeing much reason to crave a respec out of 42 shield yet, have to see how the changes hold up in practice, might well make an elph piercemaster instead

Shame that they opted to do most of it through our primary fluff button, would be nice to see them rework cd for bm's totally, that's what the class is meant to be about after all...hope some testing in the us sheds more light on it...

 

[findannain]

and again i was hoping for to much, TW change is nice, bleed heavier can change a bit. no respec for me gonna stay at 44 to finish the tornado line. for the dmg increase...we'll see when it's there. guess i don't have to hope to much for that either.

why would an elph piercemaster be better than a celt?

 

[elerand]

Well I'm not sure that an elph bm will actually have more weaponskill than a celt, better evade/parry/block maybe

Bm str goes up every lvl with dex behind that, so strictly speaking bm's specced in pierce have less overall weaponskill anyway than those specced in blades/blunt.

 

[crd]

I agree that the TW change is uber but the CD fix really sucks, and im very afraid of our defense nerf. If its gonna be that bad my mr. "im going solo and pwn infils"-blunt spec gonna be quite useless... giv free respec =P

 

[adari]

how much dmg does TW do?

So why in the world should SBs get full power from left axe then? even tho its not all that powerful anymore?

its supposed to do +50% damage, but before this was skewed in a number of ways. Dont know about how it is in 1.62 tho but its *supposed* to be +50%.

Elfs are better at everything.

We are also prettier and the ladies love elfs.

 

[Aeiedil]

[Armolas]

Thats just the sort of twisted mind luris have.

You're just jealous of our elfishness and you know it.
