Savages

Savage

- A bug in Savage's chances to triple or quad has been fixed. Savages should now triple more frequently than before, and quad less frequently than before. Due to this, overall savage damage should decrease.

- Ok. Not that great, but good.

- Savage buffs have been halved in duration, and had their health cost halved.

-Ok.

- The Savage "Irreverent Gesture" line has been changed from a shout to a four second cast time.

- Q: How often do Savages use these ?

- Savage buffs now subtract a percent of your maximum health, not your estimated health. Since estimated health was lower, this is an increase from what it used to be.

- Ok, wtvr.

- We've toned down the damage that Savages do while wielding any weapon other than a Hand to Hand weapon.

- Q: How is this going to affect us ?

Yes was wise of Mythic to give a high damage det tank class, a ranged insta interrupt on virtual no timer, and keep it that way for ages
Its not the savage damage, not det and not its selfbuffs that shows Mythics
lack of understanding, that can be excused, its this one spell.

Dunno why 2H savages never took off on excal, they seemed very popular on pryd and the US servers from what I heard.

the answer lies within a little green button shield speccing classes get.

 

[Rulke]

Guard isn't server specific though, is it just that Excal is more knowledgeable than other servers about game mechanics?

I blame Pin tbh.

Leme put it this way , in america a tank can run about in his/her epic and still end up killing things and getting invites to groups.

By comparison here on excaliber:
1) Fotm groups Assist trains
2) SC has become standard, anyone in epic is asking to be farmed
3) The average tank will have at least Det 4, LW 1 (and PF if they can get it) at least.

Edit: Btw 80% of lowbies in bgs on excal also have crafted armour lol, and most stealthers a bb also

Self-buff test!

Little quick replay on a test conserning the Savage Self-Buffs.

Test was done on a kobbie savage (with 39 savagery) with moa4 buffs and capped SC (and no aug con or toughness).
The test per self-buff was repeated 10 times to avoid huge differences.


1.63 (the self-buffs got a 30s duration)

Unbuffed

1 buff - 81 hp
2 buffs - 162 hp
3 buffs - 243 hp
4 buffs - 324 hp
5 buffs - 387 hp
6 buffs - 486 hp
7 buffs - 550 hp

Buffed

1 buff - 81 hp
2 buffs - 162 hp
3 buffs - 243 hp
4 buffs - 307 hp
5 buffs - 405 hp
6 buffs - 468 hp
7 buffs - 567 hp


1.65 (the self-buffs got a 15s duration)

Unbuffed

1 buff - 59 hp
2 buffs - 118 hp
3 buffs - 159 hp
4 buffs - 236 hp
5 buffs - 295 hp
6 buffs - 337 hp
7 buffs - 413 hp

Buffed

1 buff - 68 hp
2 buffs - 172 hp
3 buffs - 258 hp
4 buffs - 344 hp
5 buffs - 413 hp
6 buffs - 516 hp
7 buffs - 602 hp



Now someone else might have done this too, and someone might find the numbers strange, but that is the numbers I got. This is no offical test ofcourse, so I don't trust it to be 100% correct.

The little test was done just cause I felt curious about the changes in the self-buffs would mean
