Sure. The "overpowered" WL has its skill nerfed while the "underpowered" melee Squig herder skill was left alone. Nearly the same skill ofc except for:

-Big Claw cost 5 less AP.
-Big Claw output more damage.
-Cleave Limb snare lasted 1 sec more.

So Order now continues to be under a 100% up time snare while Destro no longer have to worry about such things.

BUT Cleave Limb needed a nerf to bring it in line with other melee dps while Big Claw didn't 'cuz... there was a morale nerf recently. The logical fallacies in here today are astounding.


JUST. ADMIT. THE. BIAS. EXISTS.

We won't whine about it. We just want the truth so we can make decisions on whether this project is still worth it.

Hey man the whole point of the game is for Order to be the hard difficulty slider and Destro to be the Easy difficulty slider. It is the only MMO with a difficulty slider! Super cool!

Good notes. Glad to see incremental adjustments versus sweeping ones. Hope to see/test the morale/healing debuff next steps. Combat favors pure numbers at this point instead of allowing a coordinated few to beat an uncoordinated many.

Thank you

I played both sides, this is definetly the case, playing Destro is much easier on every aspect, you never get a full ranged dps scenarios on destro its common on order tho

Thats not the fault of balance or matchmaker, thats too many players choosing to all roll Engies and BWs because its easier to sit back and pew pew rather than find a guard. Which leads to...

Something else Order players don't seem to enjoy playing - tanks. Why? I don't know. SM is the only 2h that can still get a HtL-like defense channel when they get focused, and can pour on the damage when not focused. Knight is a % heal buffing, punting, defensive machine. Which leads to...

Too many RDPS and too few tanks leads to too many imbalanced WBs queuing for city scenarios. Considering how many times i get thrown into a 12 dps Order city fight, is it any coincidence that Destro wins more city fights on average?

PS - I agree, mSH snare prob should be in line with others. Tanks should get the long snare, short CD - dps get the short snare, long CD.

Maybe rather than claiming the devs are all "Destro Biased" (hahaha ok), that they want nothing more than to have all destro classes buffed (is that delusion or memory issues with past patches?),and threatening to quit (bye!) over the most mobile class with ridiculous numbers of gap closers (pounce, pet pull, pet super speed and snare, charge, sprint, range m1 root - am i missing some??) losing a tiny bit of snare duration on a couple of abilities, go put a well reasoned suggestion on the forum somewhere. Just a thought.

Well I never said anything about matchmaker but if those classes; SW's WH's Engis etc. would be as strong as their mirror classes that wouldnt be the case as you can also see in city siege, balance is the main problem if you ask me

Good changes. Now it is time for some people to leave easy mode behind and try normal mode. Having melee classes with 65ft moral 1 root breakable only with M2 is not logical to start with for both WL and Mara. Having its range decreased is a good move in terms of balancing. Snare changes are also good and would improve the quality of the fights imo since people won't be perma snared during the all fight anymore. As an experienced MSH player I wouldn't mind getting Big Claw changesd the same way. Really happy to see some constructive changes that also gives an ear to some of the common complaints. Thanks for all your efforts.

The nearly unbreakable M1 RANGED root on a MELEE class has always been my least favorite part of this game (playing both Order and Destro sides too). Mythic must have been snorting crack when they implemented this.
