Drk/Nin damage buffs in 3.56 notes.

[Khalithar]

Damage bonuses for dark knight and ninja have been increased in PvP encounters.

So what does this mean exactly? Higher potencies on pvp actions? Flat damage increase on abilities in PVP? I'm really confused.

[Praesul]

Yeah I really wish they'd give us some hard numbers. They usually do, it seems really odd that they wouldn't this time.

I just checked ingame and there's no potency increase on any of their damaging abilities, and Darkside was not increased. So one of three things happened.

1. The changes are undocumented.

2. They forgot to actually apply the changes.

3. The increase is tied to the passive bonuses that job stones get in pvp.

Any way you go about it, it was stupid. Why couldn't they give us concrete numbers? They always do when it comes to pvp, why not this time?

From the wording used, it seems like it's flat buffs applied to the job stone, but for some weird reason no hard values were given.

Tbh, I'm not very pleased with the buff to Adrenaline in FLs. I already dislike the LB system (I think it's a total cheese and difficult to counterplay against a well-coordinated group), and hearing that people still get their "I win" button even if they die a bajillion times is pretty annoying to me.

Played as DRK...can't seem to feel any difference tbh

[Commander_Justitia]

The dev's could tell us what % they changed or not?

[snipski]

Feels more like I got nerfed as a NIN. You can't fetter ward -> mount and get away anymore. You'll get hit with heavy through fetter ward.

That was part of the mounted heavy bug that got introduced a few patches back. I think the heavy you get while mounted is actually a different debuff that ignores DR and immunities like fetter ward, tempered will, hallowed ground etc

I don't even understand why this is needed. Isnt it already the case that the 2nd and 3rd place teams get their adrenaline gauges filled more quickly?

If you died with LB in Frontline, you'd respawn with about 2/3 of a LB bar. If you were in a base-camping situation, you'd never be able to build LB to bust out of it.
