Ah, so the goal here is to make splinter pointless. Especially on forks...
You can't nerf around gear. It becomes a total mess...and besides, not everyone has the items to run a template like that.
Yah, dunno why focus spec is being changed at all at this point.The delay is a half second as of yesterday and is at the user's location.
There are no additional changes planned for splintering at this time.
I will be on TC later today. Be sure to check out the latest notes that are available for testing on TC.
Well this "hit spell" as you call it- has the same effect as a special (bleed) AND walks you. That would be a powerful special BY ITSELF. It can be stacked with other specials. Having 2 specials for the price of one hit at the same time is insanely overpowered. The only people that would disagree are people that need it to attempt to be competitive.
I don't get it either, but I'll take 5 sdi.
I'd be all for focus attack not working with splintering wep. Next?
Arguably isn't that why the hit % is much lower than other caps?
If you are talking about me.. i have literally never died to it one v one. I also play a mage as my main. I do recall you playing a fister during the 48 damage era getting dominated 5 v 10+. lolz.
Focus spec is back just reduced to 25 sdi
It should proc on normal wep hits. Just not with specials. If you think 2 specials going off and walking all at the same time is somehow fair, please elaborate.
AMEN Kind of reminds me of this
Well "fair" is a matter subjectivity really. The hit cap is what 30%? along with the high durability drop to go along with each proc.
You're joking right? Lmao... There's a reason you want nothing to do with me 1v1 ever. Don't derail this thread like you do every other one which ends in you ducking me like your guild does.
If you feel unwelcomed it's possibly because you come into a pvp thread and either make accusations or changes that make zero sense based on nothing but your feelings.
Same goes to you Frodo, you do nothing but angrily rant and provide no help to the thread nor do you bother to show up to testing on TC. Normally weaker people will be the first to call confident people Narcissist, when in fact you're crippled way of thinking is often tossed aside not our of narcissism but due to the fact that you're not bringing value to conversation.
This is a middle ground compromise. @Bleak my hats off to you for doing your best to make the necessary adjustments to focus spec, now if we can just leave the list as it is on production shard now, we'll be going in the right direction.
What is our 1v1 record? Me-a lot you-1? Ok, thanks for clarifying.
You haven't tested them but you have an opinion? Good job. I have tested them and while they are new, can be worked around and seem to have been thought out well in the same hit chances of 20% as of most splinter weps.
I posted my last post prior to seeing your post.
It's possible but as if now, I don't see enough of a reason to nerf it.
This is your opinion. But I can personally tell you that it will have an effect on my templates and the templates of my teammates. These are good changes headed in the right direction for the greater good. That is my opinion, as you stated we're free to our opinions but I am also stating facts in that our templates will diversify from the current changes alone.
TY TY TY I need a god laugh. I am so glad that UO hired you as their resident expert, oh wait they didn't.
The moving shot nerf addressed the resist difference and high damage it was doing.
I am not one of the elite few, self proclaimed or otherwise. But I have been adding my two cents to the changes. I think the problem happens when people are requesting stuff that others feel will break the game even more, and they don't present a reason. I have been advocating to add parry to the focus restriction list, a concept that some of the "elite few" as you call them aren't too fond of. But I try to present reasons and logic with my argument. Thats different than just saying "mages shouldn't have parry". If I said that, it won't be well received, and I don't give any reasons to explain myself. I think all pvpers globally are concerned of someone requesting something ridiculous and it going into effect without any real rhyme or reason. And its not unfair to say that several people who do not pvp often try to add their 2 cents. Not that they shouldn't be allowed to, but some sort of reason should be provided as to why.
Is the new swing speed damage reduction thing making it do less damage overall or what? 22 is what it was before that change as far as I remember.
You never beat me before 2016. And you are down on me in 2016 w/ 1 win (ever). Who cares what pepsi said in a fight where you were redlined 5 times and I wasn't low? lol. Anyways, take it to the hot boards you try hard.
It does 17-22 damage without any hit spell or velocity. If they proc it still gonna be a 30 damage moving shot. The problem isn't the damage as much as it is the speed and endless ability to use it. I mean right now you can literally moving shot someone like 15-20 times straight with the basically endless mana due to 55 lmc combed with combat lmc bonus. Like I said only thing that will change is it make take an additional shot. Don't get me wrong though its slightly better then it was but its not fixed by any means whatsoever.
WTF? Then why are you even in this thread?
I am not sure why a suggested solution has not been to lower the parry % as well. 35% at 120 is probably not helping anything. I also would not mind parry lowering damage output (I have parry on all my chars).
Good question, I recall auto attacks and running shot doing about equivalent damage. It was 22 for running shot and I had auto attacks doing 23.
Well man, I can tell you that when I tested it multiple times I did not chain running shot once.
Relax buddy.
Someone please explain why this guy is still here?
If you haven't made a suggestion then what exactly is your purpose posting opinions? I've done my best to explain each change and even logged on TC to help Bleak see in game what I am talking about. Is the environment hostile? Yea, look at your counterpart that I quoted above... Always angry posting with opinions and bringing no value to the conversation. Simply here to troll people.
I like where your head is at. However, it was extremely hard to get the 25 sdi. We tested many spell buffs and multiple changes to justify having the SDI bumped for focus spec mages while leaving the focus spec list alone. Bleak kindly made the adjustment to 25 sdi, which seems fair.
You're still here? And still lying because I do not have my old PC with screenshots of you. GG lying about a 20 year old wizard game. To add to the point, you've tested nothing. You're a liar and a troll. If you had tested the 0 tactics, you'd have seen 0 tacts AI's do 20hp damage (Not worth the mana used) and all of the other specials are relatively meaningless outside of one or two. You and your coward tendencies make me sick. You can take it to the HOT boards where you're cradled by your group of trolls and no attempt to back up any of the **** that spews from your mouth. You're a cave troll that only appears when you have someone to hold your hand. Nothing more.
Weird how a big talker like you who loves to post on the boards never had one screenshot of me on any boards isn't it? But you had a secret folder of screenshots of me on your old PC? lol. Very believable. And yes it is weird to still catching you in lies about a video game (remember last time you posted a "kill" of me?).
I'd say knock it down to 20% at gm and 25% at 120. A 10% reduction overall. I am sure people would still complain it is too OP though. Also, I don't remember all the proposed changes from back then. I am going off what people have said since all the testing/changes have been implemented- mainly this month. But... good idea!I'll quote the master... from the Discussing Balance Thread
