- Whirling Dervish will now only be granted to classes that cannot specialize in a weapon. All players that currently have Whirling Dervish have had the RA removed and the points spent for that ability refunded.

i guess mythic testing works, unlike GOA who only test spelling on Gorre, or it would seem that way.

Anyway nice to see how quickly they realised that it was a bit over powered.

Wounder what sort of damage a 50 Enh cleric with damage buff could do with this on, especilly after stripping a load of buffs

GOA don't test development issues because they don't develop the game.

don't see any reason why GoA have a test server if all the do is translate, shouldn't that be done internaly within GoA?

Oh, please. Practically all classes get nerfed in New Frontiers. Casters arguably get hit the worst, after Mythic now realized that with current RAs and ToA bonuses, we can kill things again. It's hybrids (i.e. melee and magic) that will rise to the top now.

Wrong. After 3 days of testing NF, caster types are the most vital classes in NF together with archers so far. Tanks or hybrids are nowhere near. Forget the rvr
as you know it now.

Wait until you get nuked by an rr7+ caster with MoM5 and WP2+ Then say casters have been nurfed more than tanks in NF.

Casters have gained a huge ammount of offensive power with Frontiers. Tanks have lost there survivability and there offense isnt the same as before due to the obscene number of active RA`s needed before passives.

balencing out casters vs tanks is always gonna be hard, the idea was at range, a caster would win, while in close a tank would win, but thats a 1 on 1 theory and was before the days of assist train. Caster can spec for high DD output but not if they wanna also get the active RAs that was been opened up to them. And caster no longer have access to AOM so are gonna ver even more vunrible to enemy CC and other casters.

Well, another day in NF and i pretty much can say one very obvious thing :

CASTERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ARCHERS>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
EVERYONE ELSE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TANKS.


Casters are clear winners and nothing will touch them. I wouldnt guess casters to be so viable in NF, but thats how it is. Already feel greatly sorry
for people with pure tanks, because if you are not member of bank group,
you will /cancel from boredom or reroll. I play hunter so im happy :) Altho
80% of my deaths come from scouts+minstrels combos and the rest from
almighty casters.
