Patch notes 22/12/2018

[xoonerfree]

Toughness change means grey players and low rr/poorly geared players do much more damage now.

I'm a tank. Before the patch I could easily hold off 3-4 low rr, gray or poorly geared toons, now they can chip away at me faster.

Few patches back dps doks/wp had massive nerf to healing while dpsing.

This patch tank defenses were nerfed.

Thank you for hard work.


Scenarios PUG - the message displayed upon entering game says "No Pickup Scenario set"

Yes, don't understand the change. I was not aware that shammies were healing too much.

With WaaaghFrenzy making it do 0 dmg...I guess it negates the ability? Odd

There were some weird interactions with it. If you played with high int/low wil in a dps lifetap spec you would get less bonus than with a high will/low int build in a heal spec. This is partly because of the ability to stack a lot higher will than int, which means none of their dps sets were really useful compared to a pure wil build and using the dps tree, then bursting opponents with stacked up abilities at ratios that were broken at the high end. Some things aren't as apparent until you get to higher levels of gear, and it would have gotten out of hand at some point. Not to mention it's pretty unintuitive and long winded to try to explain all of that in a tooltip that was already pretty long because of the other inherent bonuses that still exist and work just fine.

That being said, this isn't the end for lifetap, and it should work fine if you invest intelligence (it is a dps tree), it's just a push back while we look at alternatives.

Pug scen will be fixed next boot.

WH and WE, to king of class...?? This class has everything, absurd damage, mobility, aoe, absurd parry, ignores all armor, knocks on all sides, runs invisible, CC for 8 seconds, ignores damage ... how about giving them a bazooka and two swords of two hands?

Sry but this server breake the classes all days...

Shouldn't you roll one if grass is so much greener there?

Yea lets all do it so the pop gonna 80% vs 20%
Great idea!

balance essence/i ll take that no longer cast on move with mechanic points?

[tazdingo]

so is the sweet spot for tough now 750 + enemy realms largest practical debuff?

[Ugle]

- Removed Healstat switching to offensive using mechanic and vice versa. Mechanic already provides large enough benefit with 40% cast time reduction, 40% ap reduction and instant cast ability amplification (+25% damage/healing bonus).

...bah humbug! There goes the decent life tap to balance Waaagh while heal specced.

You mean the mechanic is almost useless again, because the return values are too low for the used gcd and cast time, despite its reduction.

There were not enough dps AMs

Big hit to heal shaman. All offensive spells made worthless save puddle and maybe ere we go. AP drain no longer reliable makes resto burst mandatory. Lifetap heal burst with ain't done yet was the one thing that made heal shaman really fun. Now its spamming group heals and quit bleedin. 3rd tier boring healer. Oh well, it was fun for awhile.

Best Warhammer online custom server around, keep up the great work everyone!

SH sent 7 piece is cd of 5 secs for detaunt that has CD 15 secs and LAST 15secs. Its a ST ability and I warrant no explanation this i know, but for a 7 piece bonus what game role does this fit into surely not RVR, PVE or 6 man play maybe solo but game isn't balanced around that right?

You dont use detaunt in Orvr, pvp and pve? You should try it sometime....

TY for response, i wil try to test and see how it goes if ever i achieve that set bonus within the year, I dont use detaunt on CD or im already dead is why i asked but maybe i playing wrong , this could be as i play solo more often than not.

You had it right the first time. The only way to use this set bonus to maximum effect, or make use of it at all would be to spam detaunt on cooldown every 5 seconds. With that being said the only iteration of SHs that would possibly do this would be melee squigs, and for that you may as well just get a guard or slot your detaunt tactic if you need damage reduction that badly. No dps class should be prioritizing their itemization to allow for more detaunts over dealing damage, and I dont think anyone will.
