I have heard a lot of ppl talk about how enchanters are going to be nerfed after the next patch....but I can find no info on it.

Im sorry if this is a repeated post...but ive looked and can't easily find anything on it. Can anyone point me in the direction of a link with info on exactly how they are gonna be nerfed and what specs are recommended etc pls.

Thanks :)

The nerf is two fold, and it affects many mages not just enchanters (matter & spirit cabbies, dark carvers, summoning sm's).

Firtsly pet focus shields will generate considerably less aggro, and it will no where near as much damage on deep purples as it currently does. I think it will still be possible to PL with enchanters - but it will be harder and I doubt you'll be able to focus pull half a dozen warshade knights anymore :(

I suspect gala farmers might want to consider rolling creeping animists and or getting a pb mage with majestic will 3 and a shield hero bot, since the main intent of the focus nerf is to stop tiny groups focus pulling ubers.

The second nerf is related to debuffs. In true mythic style they got doubly nerfed - first they don't debuff so much anymore, second (and here's the kicker) they only last 8s now BEFORE resists. So if you have 50% energy resists a heat debuff will last 4s... Essentially debuff + nuke is dead until we get ToA and that lurvely +25% casting speed.

The resests nerf is a bit of a smack down but in many ways i like the fs nerf, less retards getting shades, infils and rangers power leveled so hopefully we will see the stealth zerg dwindle. and i wont get a constant stream of pm's from nubber number 123425434535 asking me to pl him. also the value of drops has gone down considerably, now anyone and everyone have the top weapons/armour now dont get me wrong if you can afford it go for it but i think it has made quite a large gap between the haves and have nots, if you dont have a 50 enchanter or are in a small guild without ready access to galla items and such then i can imagine it can be quite tough.

Yes i know punctuation is my friend but he isnt talking to me atm

yepp good nerfs indeed. still mages are cannonfodder while they're not in perfect grps / high rr grps.

Main problem with the debuff nerf is that they're still (brokenly) affected by energy resists. If debuff duration worked correctly then the 8s debuff would be fine.
