So.. tanks loose the one thing they are good at - interrupting. Now casters will be even more powerfull.

Tanks are more than interupting.. Well some arent like Thanes! Or hey wait a sec..

[rampant]

this is teh funniest - it is obvious that they are going to give mincers banelord - but some developer prob thought 'oh wait that would make them too powerful lets nerf banelord'

tanks are for dps IMO not interupting.

 

[Aeris]

the interupts on banelord are fucking stupid as they are atm, seriously.....stupid

 

[- English -]

good move imo

 

[Eeben]

the interupts on banelord are fucking stupid as they are atm, seriously.....stupid

so is the casting an damage from casters

 

[Septina]

Incredibly retarded move, if true
This will only result in more people running heavier castergroups and rvr will become kitervr... such fun =)
Banelords as it is atm arent exactly balanced but nerfing em this was is fucking stupid

If its true that is.

bye any sort of offensive tank in opted groups, hello full caster+grapple groups!

(unless future patchnotes bring something new & intresting to the table )

Well its on the herald so i belive the info to be correct

And yes, bl is a little over the top, but you feel quite ass raped as a tank as soon as you get a couple of casters on you. Only thing that keeps em away is interrupts.

Yes, you can chase em but when you chase em you get too far away from support to get heals.. and then you know the story

Nerf bl could be acceptable if they nerfed caster or buffed tanks (i suggest making AoM tier 1 resists, while nerfing debuffing classes. Could be fine tuned quite alot actually.)

 

[Wild]

i think its great imo and thats only coz i wanna play me wizz

..

but aye Bye Bye tanks geting groups now imo you will only see full caster grps now.
bad enough since NF with keep seiges tanks cant do shit as it is, so only role for them is 8v8 rvr or solo rvr now its looks like the 8v8 is gonne be taken away.

Best nerf ever..

 

[Flimgoblin]

last I heard tanks were about doing melee damage...

hybrids were all about the interrupts.

Fantastic change - hopefully not the last (*hint hint ml9 pets*)

Hrm there goes my excuse for not healing all fight though... hrm I'll find another one I'm sure

 

[Elitestoner]

glad i no longer play my reaver, this would nerf it into the ground

Whatever they do, they better not destroy ML9 pets in PvE. I could not care less what they do about RvR though. Mythic do have a tendency to go about things in a wierd way - as with the Banelord thing.

 

[Ballard]

Retarded change. Most likely its happening because the US fg's are still tank based primarily with 1-2 casters.

 

[Andrilyn]

Funny how people can't think outside the box.
If you think people will run full caster groups because of this change you might bump into a nice surprise when this patch goes live on EU.
This will shift the group setup yes but Hybrid groups > full Caster/Tank, that's also the way it should be a group with both tanks, casters and support.
Ofc there should be some more changes to make it so every class has potential to get groups easily but I expect it to be comming very soon atleast before 1.85 patch notes come.

 

[Svartmetall]

We'd better see some hefty nerfs to caster damage output now or anyone who isn't a caster may as well give up on RvR completely.

Spell damage to reduce properly with cast time like melee damage. Resist piercing nerfed hard. Those two fixes would be a good start.

 

[Basic_X]

ah well. i dont see anny reason to go banelord on my heretic now

 

[old.Whoodoo]

Anyone else think 1.84 is the laziest patch ever, zero effort.

Devs obviously putting too much time into their new toy IMO.

Why, out of interest ?

Just so that people can solo hard encounters with them, and then tell anyone who wants help with that encounter that it's soloable, so why do they need help ?

Or are they balanced in PvE in some way that escapes my notice ?

I think BL needed toning down a bit as i play a caster myself, but this is rather over the top (as usual).

 

[Dakkath]

Well, I guess as a reaver this is a bigger reason for me to QQ than most of you

Not many bomb grps left, I suspect this will be the final nail in the coffin...

Oh well, don't worry, I'm sure to compensate all tanks everywhere they'll up cast speed and spell damage...

In fact if I am reading the fotmmessages correctly Reaverbodyguards are the next big thing anyway... this just makes the choice easier.

Long overdue, another step in the right direction.
