Info Item Team Thread - Item/ingredient/major Id Changes, Updates & More

Some AIn people in Discord brought up a good point, that the existence of CCI negates Orange Lily's downside, since now the other archer weapons don't really get use out of Arrow Shield anyway. CCI functionally makes Orange Lily overpowered.

 

Orange lily has needed a nerf for a while now, it's pretty much agreed to be by far the best spell bow unless my ears are tricking me

 

Agreed the only people who say it isn't good are those who favored gale's in pre 1.20 guild wars. Across the board in my opinion Olily is easily the strongest legendary in the game.

 

i thought cluster rivalled it since it got all the crazy twx support that olily gets denied

 

Ah yes, Thunder Water Xanax

 

I mean cluster has a bit more single bomb damage and is basically self sustaining. But Olily can fit well into ETW, EWA, and EWF so it can go damage or tank while abusing -3 bombs (or -4 bombs in EWF) for unrivaled bomb spam dps

 

Want to say cluster does more damage overall and can be just as spammy (olily nighthawk shenanigans aside? idk haven't tried), maybe requires spellsteal

Sustainable is a big +

arrow shield gives arrow storm +range for more damage opportunity while not being ultratank

Bomb spam dps is generally low compared to storm/bomb with 100% uptime anyway a

 

Other weapons were competitive with Olily before, but since CCI hit everything except Olily (because losing arrow shield in exchange for power is part of its design already), Olily is now ahead.

 

i meant pre-CCI, i agree with you now.

 

will explosive impact be in the game after the orphion raid update thing gets released?

 

Just to mention, before anyone comments on the thread asking about the strength/dex changes:


We're already working on how to balance things, though to be perfectly honest we didn't expect things to get THIS ridiculous...

 

do you guys think it would be safe to assume that the item team is aware of a recent change to how damage is calculated in relation to strength and dexterity skill points or should we mention it to them?

 

are the various members of the wynncraft community of the prevailing opinion that it is likely that the wynncraft item maker team has been informed of the modification which was deployed within the last 24 hours that affects the damage calculation algorithm as pertains to the strength and dexterity skill points, or is it beneficial for this to be mentioned to them?

 

hey uhh idk if you guys have noticed but the 1.20 hotfix 6 kinda broke the game??????? like strength and dex are now crazy????? just thought you should maybe look into that

 

holding a vigil for the IMs on sunday

 

Hey everyone, important message:
The strength/dexterity mechanics rebalance turned out to be more than expected, and as such, along with the admins we've decided that it's better to temporarily revert the change.

These changes WILL still come in the relatively near future, just after we've had time to deal with the many, many balance issues around it. We don't want to keep something this powerful in the game and have to rush rebalancing everything. Expect more from us soon.
