Patch Notes 22/9/2017

[Toshutkidup]

I’m happy for some Slayer changes, since I’m running 2h these days will test out changes, maybe up the ST damage a bit. Thanks for the always hard work Devs.

Very nice changes on bo! Ofc destro wish to see kobs snare nerfed now aswell. But i must admit it could need a small adjustment.

Nice patch.

Kinda killed Black Orcs for warbands.
2x Chosen is back.

For what reason do you nerf the BO aoe snare?
and why is allrdy the tooltip wrong ?

Bo has with 1h+Shield 2 Aoe skills and one of them has now a 10sec cd..
and the other is the knockback how you can use only situationally.

this nerf makes no sense to me

[Yaliskah]

i can atleast answer to 1 question.

We can't modify tooltips without client patching, and as you noticed, we can't atm .

Lovely, the thread has predictably and quickly derailed into NERF KOTBS NOW, as if BO snare wasn't op af.
Makes you wish for Covenant of Celerity being mirrored to Order at some point.

I like the Firestorm utility! And putting Bolt of Change back to 9 points is justified, given it is on a 10 second CD. It allows people to use their old specs (yay for dueling spec return).

I do empathise in regards to mist + firestorm usage, though I have always been an advocate that firestorm ought to be changed to spirit damage and replaced with indigo fire of change; that way, changing would have a proper niche as mid-range AoE DPS.

CoC doesn't proc like a AoE coz of the ICD. The best Covenant/Prayer atm is Prayer of Devotion by a massive margin.

Not talking about Doks.

Amazing changes

...
Path of the Rifleman
- Phosphorous Shells can now be cast on the move
- Phosphorous Shells has been moved back to 13 point ability
- Phosphorous Shells duration reduced to 10s, damage remains the same and will tick faster
- Phosphorous Shells now debuffs armour by 10% for the duration. - Problematic for technical reasons and reverted, damage for Phosphorus Shells increased
- Snipe has been moved back to 9 point ability

Path of the Grenadier
- Extra Powder Tactic now extends the radius of Phosphorous Shells by 50% in addition to its current effects (yeah yeah, crossed trees, deal with it until client control)
...

With the Armor Debuff Phosporous Shells would be a must in the Rifle Rotation.
Overall Phosporours shell is now a great ability. But it is still just one Ability.
And without the Armor Debuff lost a lot of its sexiness.
We will test Damage and Damage per sec and compare it to before the patch to see a difference.

On the Other hand the low RR Kegsnipers like Snipe back on Point 9.
