Patch Notes 03/05/2024

[Acidic]

It's amazing how differently the same changes can be viewed.
For me, BO (I have 40+ now and only ruin/conq gear) is great.
1 Finally a good ST punt. I know some cry that you have to sacrifice tactics but that's what every tank has except BG/IB.
ST punt is after guard the best tanks skill so it's no sacrifice.
2 Party speed buff + immuns. No one has anything similar in the game. ST sove bonus is much worse with 2 min cd
3 Great and underrated RiDJ. Upward toss with interrupetm not giving immuns.
4 Party absorb.
5 25% AA dmg for party
6 WS buff
7 Stealing stats
8 Armor debuff
And many others

and after the last patch great change BO stance to skills like punt/kd
And a Definitely Improved Parry Tact.

I absolutely do not share the cry an about BO

Jack of all trades, master of none

Jack of all trades, master of none ,but still better then master of one.

Sadly not of all trades. Think it’s more like:

Handy man, can do some stuff but if u want all of the tasks done get someone else

Basically BO now is equivalent of a scam builder versus the other tanks, yes they get work but the wb suffered the consequences

Well it’s probably lore friendly , BO built house does not sound so safe

Speaking off, we felt like You Wot!?!!! just did way too many things at once. No class should need such strong buffs with such high uptime.

Hum... so you will consider some Rampage! rework or removal?

Wow, massive patch!

Love the changes. And happy to see the ability rework doing it's intended job. Since it was complete there have been multiple massive balance changes, tweaking various classes.

It's very clear that balance is much easier to do now from a technical PoV. And that any class that feels underdeveloped can expect a much shorter rebound time.


Question: with the current abilities rework, how much development time does it require to update/tweak/add/remove abilities or talents? Is it development time or can, lets say, a community manager or DB admin also do it? (once changes have been approved ofc)

Yeah because of the current proc system being still a work in progress, but from what I've read so far, the team is actually balancing things.

@Team : thanks for the work, it's been years that I've been personaly waiting to see something serious happen. Now, I have hope again

Did I miss where sentinel medals were removed as a reward from the weekly dungeon inf without any other way to get sentinel?

It is a temporary Bug, we are working on fixing it.
