Planned Adjustments to PvP

[Rawkzor]

True but BB is OP as hell and will probably get nerfed. They did mention there were other adjustments besides smn. SMN has 2 attacks in its PvP skill set, neither of which come anywhere near this, even the two of them combined don't touch it.

Why would Butcher's Block get nerfed? Combo Potency 280 is not as great as DRGs Combo Potency 330. Rage of Halone is 260, but they can use Sword Oath. MRD/WAR doesn't have a stance that increases DPS the way PLD does.

I dont care what the "Combo Potency" is, I only care about the actual damage I get hit for. what I know is it seems to do a lot more damage than my fester with all dots (potency 300), or my pvp skills (potency 170).

Its funny that you're even including rage of halone in that sentence... RoH never deals like 1500+ damage, in large part because PLD doesn't have access to as many damage boosting cooldowns.

The 1500+ damage isn't because butcher's block is really strong, it's because we can burn all our attack cooldowns and use the pvp ability that lowers a targets damage resistance by 20% and does a DoT. Any class can burn damage buffs to do a ton of damage, the tanks you run into doing that are probably just better geared with high crit.

I included Rage of Halone, because people were comparing MRD to PLD for damage output. You are telling me that the potency doesn't matter, but the damage does. Then you tell me your DoTs have a higher potency than Butcher's Block. Would you like to see my screenshot of a Summoner's pet hitting me for over 1700 damage with a crit? I think you are playing the FOTM class, and want the crap to roll downhill onto the one class that can still beat you, because you can't win as a class that can deal three times the DPS of any other class.
