Thread: So no buff till 2.3... how about a compromise to tide us over?

Wow guys, reading comprehension FAIL.

I said MAKE SURE IT DOESNT do that.

Here's the problem in a nutshell. We want to maintain ~85-90% of our turret dps while moving for short-moderate timeframes, 3-5-10 seconds, as is currently required by endgame content.
If our turret dps comes out to roughly 110 pot/sec, we want our moving dps to be roughly 95-100 pot/sec. On a 2.5s GCD, that means 238-250 average potency PER attack WHILE moving.

Solutions?

Add a new attack that charges up to a certain point the longer we move, that is designed to be used solely for recovering the dps we lose from moving. How strong should it be? 240 potency per 2.5s, and let it extend to up to 2 GCD's worth of moving.

Make adjustments to Scathe to make it viable for maintaining dps while moving. Again, we can use the existing design, raise the potency, and make the trait reliable such that every 2 Scathes comes out to a total of ~480 potency.

If the generic Scathe adjustment makes it too strong for the UI phase, let Scathe be affected by AF/UI, so it does more in AF, less in UI.

Or the OLDEST suggestion in the book, give us something to let us cast while moving for short periods of time.

Frankly, its pointless now.
The devs probably have their own solution in mind. Hell knows if it will actually address our concerns or not, or if they will just apply another bandaid fix. Raise Scathe potency to 120, make AF3 2x instead of 1.8x, and call it a day. There! BLM dps went up, everyone rejoice! We still get kicked in the balls for moving! We still have 3 layers of RNG in the rotation, and it still *clunks* like no tomorrow.

Maybe we'll get some details in the next letter. IDK, Im done with BLM for the time being. People say they want it to be a stationary burst dps, then complain that 300 potency is too much.
People want it to be mobile, but complain that it'll be like bard without utility.
People want it to do more raw ST dps, without touching aoe dps, even though nothing important at endgame calls for aoe dps, but use that as a justification to not raise ST dps or to nerf aoe dps... Im done.
