Massive relative damage increase with EW

[RinaB]

The stat squish seems to have given us a HUGE increase in damage relative to a mob's health compared to what it was before. I initially noticed it in POTD where I was pretty much one-shotting everything. In addition, with dungeons my groups have been effectively skipping entire portions of boss mechanics because everything dies so fast now. This doesn't feel healthy for the game as it will make people even less prepared for current content.

Was this intentional, or an oversight that will be tweaked later?

I dont have exact numbers but it feels like boss health is higher then shb and the damage output of their abilities is also a lot higher. It feels like a nice change and I really like the new mechanics in a lot of the dungeons/8 players even if they killed me a few times lol. That being said it feels fine to me? Maybe it'll be easier once savage is out and people can actually log in lol

I meant maybe it will be easier to calculate it and see. Can't edit post on mobile

For me think I do less dmg than before. My lvl 80 dnc use to be able to almost one hit a lvl 80 and now only does 1/2 to 3/4 the amount of dmg.

I like the damage increase, makes tedious dungeons go by quicker and allows for things like bardam's or doma to be wall pulled as well

Same, I think I can suffer tanks and healers being bored for faster tedious content.

But also the opposite is inplace. We tried Odin in the open world version. He one-shotted even level 90 players. Tanks were also one-shot candidates.

He did on lvl 80 too if you dont do the mechanic right. Share the cleave and dispel the vulnerability up on tanks.
But yea lvl50 hunting mobs do seem to be a lot harder too, so Odin probably a bit aswell

I remember this absolute unit of a party I had the fortune of running into twice on Bardam's and Doma back in ShB. Wall to walled everything and I do mean everything, we melted enemies like butter on a frying pan.

Wherever that party is, I miss you :c

Level 50 content definitely feels faster. Did Castrum and Brayflox Hard yesterday and both just melted.
But not noticing the same at levels 70 and 80.

Likely that after the stat squish they adjusted base damage to compensate at level 80 as a benchmark, which had the knock-on effect of making level 50 and below much easier.

Every expansion always introduces power creep, because of changed potencies, new jobs, and actions that didn't exist before the content was released. Even with a stat squish, that doesn't change much. There are even several skills that are percentage % based and with a squish, that's slightly more potency.
