We've had plenty of time with back damage at 20%, down from the previous 40% and we've had mixed reactions. Some people have liked it at 20 and some people want it increased so we'll put out another poll to see what people think. I'll put in 3 options; 20, 30, and 40% let me know your thoughts on it. You have unlimited votes so you can pick 2 or 3 if you are not certain which you would prefer the most. Update: Public test server currently testing 30%
Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I like it as it is. Previously it rewarded aggression too much and caused so many fights to snowball because playing defensively was difficult.
I think it's just absurd when you can hit someone in the back in melee 10x straight without them dying. (with an r70) Btw, can we lower the CD on pungent and bring its damage back? Idc if it's instacast. Maybe eye rot could get a lower cd as well? Ty. Honor for all.
pmuch main issue at is Destros can go fkin hard whilst taking such little damage in those backlines NERF DESTRO edit: chads flower
Put destro back damage back to 40 percent Lower protections back to Vanilla DF1 on destro and mages Put eye rot on 30 second cooldown with damage Put pungeant back on 30 second cool down - leave timer Remove wof from aoe cooldown Add 1 point to each transfer and 1 or two points to witches brew and heal self Make new robes support - bonus duration / bonus healing Leave hybrid alone =win!
I would prefer the 40% back, but I see no reason we couldn't try 30% for awhile and see how it plays.
TTK is in an okay spot atm, still a little on the low side imo I wouldn't change back dmg currently and lower TTK further Unless there's a cmb revert we're just opening up the never ending balancing act again --- Post updated --- Very few people can do that even as it is now I'd say theres maybe a dozen people tops playing that can confidently bhop away under pressure and not die to sprain --- Post updated --- The problem in that case is heavy protections, they've been too high for too long. Back damage increase with the current TTK and server performance is going to be a shitshow
Looks like the 70 people that play have voted so can we just revert already? Give the people what they want or do you guys not like money?
Tired of mages just turning around and taking like no extra dmg xD Down for either 40% or 30% --- Post updated --- Eh I disagree tho u can still play defensively with the shield without having to give up your back 50% of the fight
old school but bring back buff others... call me stupid but the best way to balance Df combat is to fully revert and work from there by adding spec like destro/ mage killer and robe should be a healer/buffer/support spec. but thats my opinion
The best option has always been this^ Combat balancing and changes just need to end, this constant uncertainty is a main reason for dedicated players losing motivation and quitting
