according to goa they aint:
Casting classes and 1.52
Many players, playing casting classes, complained about having less powerful AF buffing spells since the patch 1.52. We have investigated the issue and done some tests. The results showed that both the AF buffing spells & the Absorption buffing spells were working. The tests showed that the use of the spells increased the miss rate (around 5%) and decreased the damage (around 10-15%). In order to be sure that they are working as intended, we have sent our results to Mythic and will see if there are any problems with these spells.
But they are wrong, probably testing it out on their internal server, and not prydwen.
I also heard you can stealth on the pad in sauvage on excalibbur and port, but prydwens one you cant :d this was from last patch btw

Dear Albie Casters - /salute
It seems we have a common problem with 1.52:-
http://www.prydwen.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2571
Just so you know we (Hib (and no doubt Mid) casters) share your pain at these 1 or 2 shot deaths.
I don't hink you'll be seeing much (if any) of me in RvR until I know there is a fix coming - I feel that strongly about it. When Blue con Keep guards solo you, then you know something is really wrong!
On the flip side - my Tir Na Nog Craft Shoppe selling of Alb & Mid Tailored Voodoo Dolls is doing booming business right now...
Cheers

Previous to 1.52 patch,having rvred for many hours over a period of months,there have been times when i would be paed for over 700 dmg bolted for around 1000(only twice and i even remember who bolted me) and sometimes i would be hit for around 500 by 2hand slow weapon using tanks.It would happen but it would be rare and even when it did happen half of the time my shields had worn off.
Last night on rvr i noticed myself:getting bolted at least twice for 900+ dmg,paed at least two times for over 900 dmg(and pa minimum was almost always 600 sometimes reaching 700 or even 800 dmg),styled by mid tanks for 450 minimum each time sometimes getting axed for 530+ dmg and.... suffering 594 hp loss to a normal!!! shot by Svartur(he missed critical missed the next one and last hit got me for this number)
Damages like this could have occured before patch too just not at this ridiculous frequency so i am suspecting that something might be wrong.
Having talked to Vermillon and Dioz they partially confirmed this too since they seem to do better dmg now vs casters(Dioz claims he does over 500+ dmg with a normal shot on a caster and that this damage is his cap dmg)
Pbuck finally White

I seem to hit damage cap on most casters now with normal bow shots, 507 +damage add. Don't know if something is broken or if it's the new 16.5dps bow and RR5 that does this.

10-15% reduction is not "working as intending" given before that patch the af buff alone gave about a 50% damage reduction. IT;s gimpy and needs to be fixed.

Aye I dont think it is a caster only problem either!!
There seems to definately be something drastically wrong with the absorb buff.
My 49 Friar got Hit for 812 damage yesterday and was 2 shotted by a champ.
All my encounters against hibs have followed this pattern 500+ damage being the norm since 1.52.
All my armour is 98-100AF all DF and a Prince Dropped robe and I am fully buffed before each battle with 10% absorb.
I hope they find out what the problem is and soon.

well 812 is a crit for a champ, as even a celt's dmg cap is around 650~ only.. and as for hitting a friar for 500+, I must confess that I would expect to hit you for that much, you're not in epic armour which means I typically hit for 400+, plus atm friar armour is weak to crush (the more standard dmg type of choice for LW champs) giving a fairly hefty bonus to dmg. add in a small crit are just a good hit and we are easily at over 500+ dmg to you.. wait til you get epic armour, should cut down your dmg intake a fair bit

Thanks for that reasoned arguement mate!
I did realise that my armour is suceptible to crush but didnt think it would have affected me that much as there was quite a drastic change in damage post 1.52.
As u said it must be crush penalty + crit + good hit + stlye
I am used to the odd stealther hitting me for upto 1000 damage as Azal has done to me in the past.
I guess I will just have to work on crush resists and hope that the situation improves with my epic armour ;o))
