Balance was balanced

[Elamys]

With two new skills (three skills if you could the one that came with vanilla 4.0) to restore a simple old function, I find myself seriously questioning the necessity of subjecting each class to a gauge.

I love the gauge. Once I got used to it, it made it much easier to see my cards and tbh it's very pretty to look at. but the easiest solution would have been to just give us the buff icons WITH the gauge. that would solve all of the problems the gauge currently subjects us to.

Well, the 200% Spear would be duration rather than potency. The increase of potency would be 150% (15% on an individual). Throw a Celestial Opposition on them, perhaps a Time Dilation, Chain Strategem, Battle Litany, Trick Shot (whatever that ninja thing is)... /wrecked

In all fairness, I doubt some of the crit buffs will stack. If they do initially, I'm sure it will get hotfixed. Last thing we need is the "Anti-Balance movement" becoming the "Anti-Spear movement."

I'll accept the Balance nerf because now we have 3 DPS boosting options in Arrow, Balance, and Spear.
But I swear if I see other Healers complaining about AST now...

Nope, still gonna complain about Aspected Benefic vs Adlo.

Have fun with that.

Not sure why people are still acting like Aspected Benefic vs Adlo isn't a problem.

Given current gimped Critical Strike modifiers (the % bonus damage given), they've found the one way to make Spear even less effective. It would need to be over 25% to be competitive with the new Balance or Arrow, at which point it would synergize too well with Monks and Bards. A 15% increased Critical Strike Chance and Critical Strike Bonus would still favor those with high Critical Strike stat and Crit dependence, but at least retain a more general balance.

People will always find something to complain about...

I think Astrologion got buffed instead of nerfed. With the addition of Spear, you don't have to fish for Balance anymore. Which means you now have two cards that are incredibly useful and bring raid DPS. Which means that the uptime of these useful cards will be much higher than when just fishing for Balance cards. If this actually ends up being a buff, I can't say I'm nothing but disgusted.

It isn't a problem.
