Patch Notes 21/03/2020

[Akilinus]

Same with the defensive and "offensive" sets for tanks. Huge difference in quality

[Jabba]

- [15864] [15649] The "+15% critical damage taken" set bonus on WP/Dok Sovereign set has been replaced with "6% Reduced Armor Penetration" & on the RP/AM/Zeal/Shaman Warlord set it has been replaced with a +355 armor bonus

It's honestly ridiculous how big the difference is between the quality of the dok/wp sets and the am/sham/zeal/rp

With this change WP & Dok are literally getting the same 4pc bonus as am/sham/zeal/rp on the heal sov set.

And you don't see why this is exactly the problem? 6% reduced armour penetration on dok/wp is far, far superior to the same bonus on a cloth class. This is on a class that already has a far better optimised set in terms of individual stat allocation on the pieces.

I second that. Overall, it seems that the people in charge of distributing the stats/setbonuses for the endgame gear do not have a 'feel for the endgame' and is just shooting blind and/or trying to push their own agenda.

Whatever happend to having people with an in-depth knowledge of each class designing and discussing the sets? is this still a thing? - it's really hard to tell at times.

Just to clarify, I'm not trying to have a go at anyone - I, much like everyone else, appreciate all the work that goes into this project but some of these changes and previous ones make absolutely zero sense in terms of overall balance.

do u fix tank OFF Sov 7 pieces bonus??? it not activate

[Chinesehero]

2h melee weapons have hidden block/parry strikethrough stats, while dual wield 1h weapons give parry.

Correct, I'm wondering what has changed in this patch in relation to that.

The parry and block strikethrough when using a 2h weapon was broken for WP the past week. It should be working again now.

Other 2h classes only get a block strikethrough, the parry strikethrough for 2h WP was added back in 2017 sometime.

it same on tank off sov 7piece bouns, 10% parry and block pass through not activate

There's nothing about the bugged cannoners never ending spawn after Stage 1 ends from the Outcrop BO constantly hitting door.

Was it fixed?

They still spawn, but it won't do anything useful after Stage 1.
