Info Im Team Applications + Item Rebalance Changelog

Oh, I guess why the nerfs then in the first place? I mean I guess you could argue either way, but then what’s the point if the change is insignificant?

I don’t really care either way, I’m just a little curious.

 

It's implied when we say "stronger than other non-mythic weapons" that those non-mythic weapon builds will be using Hive Armors to compensate the difference in strength, which should lend itself to them being equal in the long run.

As you know, the reason Hive gears are warranted extra strength is because of the quest. However, in order to not overshadow other items, you can only use one per division. Thusly, each piece places a check on the other pieces, making it so that despite their strength, Hive items won't ruin the usage of other items. However, this relies on each Hive Armor having similar levels of absolute power and overlapping niches so that these checks remain effective.

As a result thing, the thing that was debated for the longest time (even before the initial buff to them) was whether Hive Weapons were too rewarding (after the buff) by comparison to the Hive Armors.

Personally, I don't think the given explanation is very effective at communicating these ideas.

 

Apparently Guild XP and level 101 dont exist...
this is more bullshit than the sp nerf

 

I don't really understand the health Regen craze that's going on in this update. I understand what raw health Regen, and percent is supposed to do. But while playing, I don't feel it at all. These notes give me the assumption that lifesteal is affected by regen, is that true. And if not, why worry so much about a stat that's barely being felt?

 

Life steal isnt affected by hpr, there is a certain factor that determines how much hpr a certain tier x level item should get, if the item goes higher or lower for no reason, then it will be stronger/weaker than other items with hpr of similar tier/level that should have been otherwise. These minuscule changes are fixing this some of the issues on these items, the same goes for some of the base damage, life steal and raw damage id changes

 

That's just because hpr and lifesteal aren't very good outside of select scenarios (for the latter exploding and slow-speed chain lightning, for the former almost nothing).

 

exploding does not trigger life steal
regardless, pure melee and hybrid builds can still utilize lifesteal quite effectively

 

Maybe it's just archer where lifesteal sucks...

 

Back to running FF in full cosmic at 100 I go.
Wait now I'm curious I forget even how much xp I got from doing FF in cosmic at 100 brb

 

It is lol
And for someone who's primarily into wars, I see the appeal in lifesteal. But that also might fuel my indifference towards hpr

@SilverMirror
Ah didn't realize it was just a tweaking mindset, thank you for the explanation. Also when's Conduit of Spirit coming back (>×~×)> Gimme gimmie

 

yeah in wars there'll be mobs all over the place
i would assume it's too difficult to avoid being hit all together so that would likely make health regen difficult to utilize
however, in pve and pvb situations, they almost always won't have that massive amount of mobs. this makes it easier to have hpr active more often
it's especially clear against bosses; there are very few mobs to worry about making it easier to avoid being hit

 

its boarderline impossible, its kinda useful with assassin cause of vanish but youre wasting time waiting for hpr when you could just use pots
but on the flip side, when low ls like 150-200 isnt really worth it for bosses, its really useful for wars, i have a hybrid build i use for wars with ~160ls and dont die

 

Explain

 

well without powder specials (btw quake/even courage works too) yes

 

super fast chain lightning rip

 

idk use atlas

 

but am addicted to melee ;-;

 

OH NO NOT THE PUNS NO NO NO


Also fun fact: Sekaisin is Finnish. It pretty much means "confused", "disorganized", "haywire" and so on. Kinda fits it, to be honest. Fire and thunder? Random damages? -health, life steal, dexterity, walkspeed? It's just all over the place and crazy, fits it 100%. Nice to see that status is being reinforced.
