Relic Effects - really??

[rynnor]

Heres the thing - recently the Middies lost 10 percent of their previously 20 percent bonus to damage via spells thru losing one enemy power relic.

I cannot see any difference in my damage output in RVR or PVE.

So did we ever really benefit from them?

I always thought they were meant to effect damage in PVE and RVR - true/false?

I have a theory that spell damage was already limited by the level cap so extra bonuses made no real difference?

Maybe a Hibbie caster has noticed a damage increase or not now they should have a 10% bonus?

Comments please

Yeah I hit harder now

PvE example: I used to bolt yellow con bananachs for 580 and 420 respectively, now I hit them for 640 and 460.

We also seem to hit harder in RvR though that might be a confidence thing. I also notice that people like Melgar are hitting me for less than they used to.

what are you talking about. you done not gain any bonus for having your own relic.

ie mids only got a 20% power boues for haveing all 3 when we lost the Hibbs one we drop to 10%, if we lost the albs one to the abls we would be back at 0%, if then the Hibs got ours we would still be at 0% and the hibs would then be at 10%

funny you think your doing more

Uhm Khain, you might want to do a /relic and check the status on your own relic.

Hibs are actually doing more damage now.

Current status:
-Albs +20% melee
-Mids +10% magic
-Hibs +10% magic

Erm - does anyone else think its odd that a realm with one relic still gets a 10 percent bonus because it happens to be an enemy one?

All we need now is for the albs to capture the hib power relic and all us casters will be at 10 percent bonus

We need to get our own relics from the Mids back first before we can take any other relics.

Why? Your own relic gets you nada but if you got the two power relics off the Hibs you would get the 20% bonus???

Cause you can't pick up the other relics before you have your own in your relic keep. And nice post Khain, shows how much you know

 

[Kerram Darktyde]

Before you can pick up am enemy relic you have to have the your own relic of that type back in its relic keep..


Ie Mid have to take the power relic from hibs before taking the hib one.
and the str one from the albs before taking the alb or hib one

the Albs have to take their power one from mid before they can take the hib or mid one from the hibs

and the hibs can not take the alb or the mid str relic untill they have returned thier one ..
