Hello, its Tramadol. Pandemonium spell has been reduced the dmg 65% from 3,3k to 1,4k with 14 mastery points sloted on changing, WHEN DID IT HAPPEN? u guys did that change without giving any info. and also u fked up the aoe magus. its based on firestorm&pandemonium.

AOE MAGUS now its unplayable ...

About the numbers you asked :)

I rechecked this using only Order healers as the comparison group:


Order healers = WP, AM, RP
Shield WP entries are excluded from the Order healer average.


Sample used:


Raw Shield WP entries: 322
Comparable entries vs other Order healers: 303
Shield WP ...

Are there any circumstances where book spec underperforms ? Meaning, if you go book spec into oRvR or City, is this going to be a bad decision, compared to taking shield spec instead ? Because if you say that now the shield spec is not supposed to be really playable in scenarios, but really shines ...

The elephant in the room here is the underlying assumption that shield specs are designed around scenario gameplay (when I would argue in large part they aren't).
In my eyes, when the healer rework dropped, the shield DOK/WP got transformed into an orvr/city spec when it previously was a 6v6 ...

I was browsing your guide and couldn't help but notice that for Zealot you said 5 Tri/4 Sov is BiS without mentioning 6 Tri/3 Sov as an option. I believe the cast speed proc is much better than 6% reduced armor penetration (perhaps you disagree, but surely it's a valid choice regardless ...

It is highly likely that the new Moonstone Annulus rings will be BIS for SnB tanks.

On Destro and for warband-play, it is also quite likely that Platinum + Copper will be BIS (with Gold as the next best option). Would recommend farming them during the event ...

I made a spreadsheet to compare what you would get when applying the new itemization formula to the renown trainer. I had to choose one stat to remain fixed, and I chose that to be the base stats (str, int, etc.). Everything else is relative. The main relevant parts are colored yellow (current ...

Just don't lock BIS gear in PVE city instances, that doesn't "renew" the campaign (that will be pushed in off hours 100%, prove me wrong), it's the last nail in the coffin.

If you read the patch notes carefully, you'll see they say that captured cities will only be unlocked if the side that ...

Thank you for the update.

Overall things seem quite positive and I'm quite excited for the City changes.

The new Tier of War Crest weapons might also end up fixing many of my grievances with the current state of weapon META, so also looking forward to that.

My main concern is regarding the ...

I find it amusing how suddenly something is considered OP yet it has existed for years like that and none has complained about SW outdoing the meta AOE classes.

Here is the true, none exaggerated fact about this ability.

1) It costs a massive amount of AP which means it cannot be spammed ...
