Thread: Patch 5.2 Notes (Preliminary)

The Crafting Changes are bad. They keep not wanting people to use macros but I guarantee you within 2 days after the patch a macro will exist.

We will have them as soon as we know what the specific numbers are for 5.2 gear and the calculators are updated.

They're nerfing one action, but buffing IQ significantly (it stops adding anything at something like 7 or 8 stacks currently, 3k was a silly low cap) as well as Innovation. (They're also seemingly removing the ilvl based penalty that required ingenuity to be a button in the first place)

Theres going to be little change to how you press buttons except you'll backload quality boosts a little more with high IQ stacks and inno -> blessing into most likely a veneration name brand groundwork closer.

Probably adds a couple steps because youll lose progress buffs early on, but have a stronger finish.


Reuse being gone makes me sad, but it was a pretty stupid skill anyway. It was abusable with recycle (you had a better chance to craft primal items for free than you did to lose anything) and without recycle, was still pretty nuts in terms of what it can save (early cycle sub part building could save weeks with it).


I'm a little sad they arent following through with their goal of significantly reducing crystal and shard costs for synths though. I really am just tired of using as many of them as I do.


The market change is... I dunno. (Most) Everyone is using one of the two cities with a market board in the same zone as the aetheryte for listing, so they either had to make this change and charge everybody or make a change to charge nobody, and since the only sure thing in life is being taxed, everyone's being taxed.
