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

ashock is just your average tstack weapon
for gods sake helm splitter can be made to deal decent dps

 

huh?????
tf aint deal so much stronger than ashock
complain about anything after making DECENT build please thank you
anyway its so weird apoc has been nerfed even tho ashock can deal huge dps
i felt them sad to be nerfed in this patch

 

apoc was crazy strong at level
ashock is generally used in melee so it's more viable in endgame than at level
what, do you want them to give it the gaia treatment?

 

A shoutout to the Gaia changes, very nice! Spell Gaia was one of my favorites back in the day and I'll definitely try toying around with it again. Versatility and different builds for the same weapon have always been what I've enjoyed the most about wynn, so any changes that allow for it are very welcome. Also, without even talking about Hellfire, the Apoc base stat changes make the weapon feel a lot nicer to use.

Interesting changes all in all, keeping the game fresh. Waiting for what else you come up with, especially with mythics!

P.S. Eagerly waiting for lore for dual-element mythics

 

More changes!

In summary:
Temblor got a "buff" that really just helps clear up some visual confusion and clear up math on the server side
Cherry Bombs got a pretty big buff
Reckless Abandon got a pretty big buff
Blossom Haze got a pretty big buff
I threw out Conspirator's Trickpockets and made a new Conspirator's Trickpockets

 

Cataclysm was, and is still, far above and beyond other assassin mythics, especially in a meta DOMINATED by strength/dex being overtuned.
Apocalypse was literally dealing over a million DPS with bashspam thanks to the major id, that shit got nerfed for a good reason and now only deals a "measely" 500k dps.


Quit crying about the item makers actively trying to make the meta both more diverse and balanced.

omg cherrybomb buff cherrybros we are so back

 

What do you mean by

grim is like pretty close. war meta might be cata but grim is still better in some other parts of the game. also ofc the game where you need to do damage is dominated by overtuning the sp that gives damage... also literally fucking epoch can do millions of damage womp womp bruh

 

What do you mean by this lol

Also,

I agree grim is close and epoch is way overtuned too, thats not an argument to not nerf cata, thats an argument to nerf how much str/dex amplifies damage and also maybe to nerf epoch individually.

NB: i should say I’m mostly talking about tna meta here and not wars meta (even tho it might be somewhat similar) because guild wars are an environment thats so detached from the main game and played by a small nber of people.

 

saying cataclysm is far above and beyond is just straight up lies its literally worse than grim for some shit is what i was saying. also why do you think str/dex shouldbe nerfed? why does everyone just want to nerf damage as much as they can?

also the million dps.. you could get every mythic in the game pretty much to do like fuckin 1m dps

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If my two pairs are no longer green I'm going to hone in on your location irl

 

“worse than grim” alright fuck it lol just nerf all the etw core items along with str/dex

the reason people want strdex to be nerfed is because slapping rainbow items for sp to get more damage from strdex scaling (rather than deliberately picking items) and building ETW is far and beyond the meta, which creates for a really stale and boring build paradigm.

 

Blossom Haze and Conspirator's Trick Pocket have already been buffed, but when will Immolation be buffed?

 

IMs (real)

 

oh idol got nerfed btw

 

BASED

 

awwwwwwwww my building strategy /j

 

Item trials have finished to four resounding approvals, meaning we've brought on four new IMs to the team! Between all the changes that have been happening recently and the upcoming mystery update, alongside Fruma after that, the extra hands on deck are extremely welcome. Those IMs are...

@LateOgre (lateogre)

@Spenchilada (speggtart)

@FelixTape (felixtape)

@Mardeknius (mardeknius)

Welcome aboard.

 

YESS MARD CONGRATS also Felix, ogre, and spench BUT MARD WOOHOO TIME FOR THE UZB INFILTRATION TO COMMENCE

 

Really happy with all the changes that have been made, pushing historically bad weapons into viability while nerfing top tier options without completely gutting them is exactly what I was hoping for with item changes, and I'm really glad to see things being done for the sake of it. I hope that many more changes are to come with the new members of the team. Wynn is always more interesting and fresh with item changes.

 

somehow this reads like intense sarcasm idk why
