3.1 : Astrologian "adjustments''

[Ghishlain]

@Ghishlain
dont forget Maim, but it also says "Increases damage dealt"
so yeah most likely it is just a wording change for lightspeed

Yep, that is correct. I didn't include everything because that would be far too many abilities and buffs to list. Just enough to get the point across at the various small differences. Foe Requiem is also a small exception because it states "reduces the enemy magic resistance by 10%" where as Rook and Bishop Autoturret when Hypercharged states "increase [insert damage type] damage taken by 5%"

oh, there is one more big exception: cleric stance

[Ghishlain]

Hmmm, the plot thickens. Dunno what else to think about ATM then. lol.

Guess we'll see exactly how the tooltip is changed tomorrow.

[deos]

yeah, will be interesting

It is the most plausible outcome anyway. Surely if Lightspeed wasn't functioning near what it should, someone would have mentioned it at some point. And it wouldn't make the trait completely obsolete.
If it ends up the penalty is removed, well.. bring on Lightspeed + Gravity.

Side question but when it says cleric doesn't work in PvP, does that mean we pretty much suck at doing damage in PvP and should stick to healing? Or does it mean attack magic potency gets based off MND as well? I'm guessing it's the first one? Got into PvP over the weekend, it's kind of fun to be honest and 40 ESOs when doing roulette which takes like 10-15 mins is really not that bad.

Can't use Cleric Stance during PvP and all spells/abilities retain their original damage calculation unless stated otherwise. So yeah, nearly no damage unless you wear gear with INT. You can provide CC and bloat the debuff bar just fine though.

Cleric was more or less removed to prevent a healer from dishing out competitive DPS from full-dotting and presence of mind burst and then just sort of riding it out with healing while 3 people chased them around like ineffectual wet noodles. In a team they were just too effective as a support, so their overall DPS was nerfed to further distinguish their contributions away from the actual DPS classes.

I want to say it was a terrible mistake, but honestly we were maybe just a little, tiny bit OP in Frontlines. Probably. By a tiny, miniscule amount. >_>

[416to305]

Yeah makes sense thanks! Was wondering more because some of our abilities are definite damage dealers, but I didn't want to spend my ability points on getting enhanced versions of them if they don't provide any benefit. I think spending it on the healing abilities would make more sense then.

I wonder if it would be OP if "the Balance" card also increases healing magic potency alongside damage.
