SPOILER Tomes - More Powerful Than You Think (discussion)

buffing late game bosses instead of nerfing tomes would be also an option

 

Not everyone is going to have access to tomes to make up for the buffed bosses, maybe an alternate difficulty for things like LI so that people can be challenged by anything less than a no hit run

 

That doesn't fix any of the issues at hand and it just creates so many more new problems. Giving endgame bosses more health/damage screws players without tomes and makes Mythics even more powerful relatively to other builds since the 30% damage buff to them is a lot more then a 30% buff to any non-mythic build. You also run into the issue of figuring out what counts as an endgame boss in the first place because you can get busted tomes at level 60, among many other issues caused by tomes which aren't addressed by this like regular mob difficulty, PVP and so many other tiny issues which won't be affected by scaling bosses to tomes.

If tomes are the problem, the solution shouldn't be to bend the rest of the game to their will, it should to have tomes conform to how the game is now which either involves nerfing them or changing how they fundamentally work (which is what I support).

 

Major id: Skip the animated cutscenes in post 1.17 quests

 

I dont really have any experience with tomes at all, so this is coming from someone with almost no knowledge, but isnt basically everything in the new update pretty much busted anyways? I feel like these tomes are more going to even the playing field against the new max level wars and raid so I dont really see them as an issue.

 

Making raids easier in itself could be a reward because raids have other drops (corkian amp, eb(??)) but also understandable that not everyone wants to grind raids (and honestly if raids become a thing you just grind thats kinda sad)

Really love the idea of lowering the power gap between item tiers; this could even be done with the existing tome system of +% total damage for the most part

(buff unique weapons im tired of throwing out cool uniques just because they're uniques)

 

Um, anything the game can be grinded lol, dungeons especially.

 

26% and 22% damage to mobs fabled tomes. not even mythics
keep in mind i had maxed damage raid buffs though
