BUFF the BG already

[Farrul]

Kotbs have huge stat booster sourses, runefang, m2, aura, wich allow him go ws. If you go WS on bg now u will end like at zero str. Option - "just buff channel" will not help, class need a lot of attention and smart solutions for his specs, especially 2h.

Yes but BG provides his own 1200(?) armor shred ability.

As for other buffs, i won't argue what BG needs or doesn't since i don't play it. All i know the damage isn't impressive from receiving end, looking at the raw numbers from ''that'' patch data clearly reveals the weakest channel skill.

5 pages debate over a small little buff (which is well deserved). Christ just give BG a dps buff to the channel since it was clearly overnerfed and hits like a wet noodle now.

It's just like the KOTBS discussion, people were arguing that a KOTBS dps buff would be a huge thin, then devs buffed Myrmidas fury more than we asked for and it proved to be completely within balance, not a problem at all.

The drama of this forum!

P.S. hopefully the 2H IB will be looked at as well, it sucks.(not channel, generally) .

I agree, but I will also say, that the last time I advocated for IB changes / buffs, people told me to be quiet instead because devs will nerf them instead of fixing the obvious issues (2h IB should get grudge by attacking). And I think they were not wrong - look at the poor slayer, lol.

There is some truth to that, unfortunately. 2H IB was my favourite toon back when it was as the game intended them to be(GnM, Heavy strike being good etc). Now it's a shadow of its former self and with all the old problems such as a mandatory tactic to regenerate grudges. It just sucks compared to 2H SM and 2H kotbs.

Its common thing in every figth from dif sources, but not enough for specs with low armpen. I have similar problem on dok, with cap of str + 1600 arm debuff, but some well defended targets beyound my reach becouse my ws stuck near 300 and cannot be boosted without gimping build overall. Some classes have normal tools like ws boosts skils/buffs magical or pure dmg skills, but those who not - semi effective (in case of 2h bg - not effective at all, dont even know if he can afford str cap). U can compare dif between working spec and suffering one on any test dummy, results would be self explanatory. Str+ws+crit builds are just too expensive for such classes, and without it their dps specs lose purpose.
