The damage bonus was reduced.............

reduced= dropped=nerf.

I argue it's nerfed because the damage bonus no longer amounts to what it once did.

Whether that's simply because other skills offer you more benefits, or because the damage bonus itself is less than it once was, or the damage formula has changed in a way that dilutes the bonus, or some other reason, I don't know, because I can't recall the old formulas (formulae?).

Yes.

I think for the damage bonus it used to be a % per total damage. Now, it's based on base damage of the weapon.

So what used to give you say an extra 10+ points of damage per hit, is now a bonus of like 2-5.

It was a ****ty nerf and ruined the point of having lj in pvp.

Pre-AOS a 30% bonus to damage was a huge deal. Today you can get that on a bracelet. There are also half a dozen more useful skills than trying to throw in Lumberjacking for such a pitiful damage increase.

Age of Shadows is what made the lumberjacker obsolete. There were even people running around shortly after AOS still trying to compete like that.

They would have to increase the damage bonus to at least 100% to have the same effectiveness as Pre-AOS.

This is true, but all the other skills (from a pvp point of view) only allow you to do up to x amount of damage, the increase from lj still is able to exceed that. So 100% might be a bit much, then again can not be sure given the fact that its current level adds so little. Would need some player testing I suppose.

I don't think AOS killed it, it was dead before that. The nerf was in 01 and AOS came in what 03? Had it not been nerfed, it'd still probably be used today with the 100% damage increase.

Hey I use LJ on one of my faction chars, Exe axe and ornate is nasty stuff.

 

[Viquire]

Huh?

Guess I missed that one then...

At least 1/3 of faction players back in 2000-2001 were lumberjacks.

*raises hand*

I also use LJ on one of my dexers, hard hitting crushing blows with an ornate.
