Goodbye Malice?

[Alhanna]

What with the changes to Malice I wonder if many users are thinking of a change? I look towards Infs mostly which would lead onto a change from slash to thrust.

great and when is that patch rekkoned to hit ?

cause my template uses battler and malice as main and offhand (old school, style template) and i am really gonna have to make a new template after this

grrrrr ffs

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

Good nerf, about time and no I don't think good bye Malice, the utility on it is still nice, but it isn't a must-have artifact anylonger.

Malice is still a good weapon, it's just not a "must have" anymore. The effects are still very useful, just not an instant I-win like the old days.

Im going for some Legendary weopons soon anyways, wanna try them out in rvr with template designed for them.

 

[Smellysox]

Oh great news for me and all that shit in my vault i guess !! pm me for weapons when the shit hits the fan u bum sluts , yeah butt monkey ghey boy strokers !!!!!!

 

[Kagato]

Better late then never, its astounding though that its taken them this long to make a simple change that they could of done when ToA first went live over 2years ago.
Malice was blatently over powered to anyone with half a brain cell, even by artifact standards.

 

[>.< Pooned]

Belt of Sun is my friend. and lw's.

 

[Zoia]

If only they could lower the SoM proc to 150 instead of 200 and maybe make Phoebus and Winged Helm absorb 50% of styled damage instead of 75%.
Then things would start to look right.

I'll still be using Malice on both skald and zerker. 10% debuff is good enough.
Might change Battler to something else, as i'm only using it for the charge. The 35% health/pow/end regen on the skald CW seems nice.

Oh, and nerf Warguard too! My skald loves it, but it makes my zerker sad.
