Thread: With all these Dmg nerfs coming in 4.0...

I'm glad someone pointed out the overall increased damage you'll be doing at a higher level anyways. It's easy to look at what's being taken away and panic rather than notice what's being changed or added to keep damage fairly consistent, if not increase it.

We'll be just fine.

doesn't matter for level capped roulettes and anything you can't undersize.

if we're doing Leveling roulette and we get Aurum Vale how are we a higher level? we just lost a bunch of DPS skills and Potency.

And you gained Tenacity or Direct Hit instead of accuracy...

only for people using tons of Parry and Accuracy gear as is. my tanks normally didn't have any Parry on their gear, so my DRK loses the DPS from not having Scourge and gains absolutely no DPS from Tenacity. Healers have no accuracy on gear and doesn't better from Direct Hit anyway, SCH Bane got a huge nerf and Shadow Flare can't be kept up full time.

How does the combination of those mean running the same exact dungeon isn't going to get longer?

Shadow flare isn't available in aurum vale. Furthermore healer dps doesn't really matter in autumn vale. The dps can clear it easily. So any healer dps is just extra anyway. As for gear discrepancies with the new stats you may just have to adjust gear some. It's not that huge of a concern. Last but not least and this one won't be a popular statement, but just maybe the are trying to slow the dungeon speed clears down.

There is definitely a clear push to reduce reliance on AOE.... I hope dungeons become more fun as a result.

I think everything will be fine and there are no dps nerfs. Some classes are losing some abilities which added dps but those classes are also being changed to compensate, such as the bane nerf but the addition of BAHAMUT.

AoE by its very nature kills everything as far as fun is concerned. It's a literal one button mash to victory.
