PoM nerf in GU 51? Is it true?

serum321 · 01-12-2009, 04:55 PM

People in test are saying PoM has been nerfed by 30% on the high end. There was nothing about this in the update notes.

Seems like SoE has their foot on illusionist's necks in tso.

From what I seen on test..

It was like 15% reduction to base damage.
And 30% to the high end.

I'm seeing 597-730 on test and 699-1048 on live, so yeah, another stealth nerf.

If thats the only nerf illusionists get this expansion then we will still stupidly overpowered.

Yeah, I was thinking about it, and thats a nerf I can live with.

Lubitup · 01-16-2009, 09:10 PM

Agreed..

For being a utility class we are still raking in the damage.

The thing is that when they nerf POM they hurts our abillity to increase our group dps and thereby make us less usefull as a utility class. I would much rather that that they increased the casttime or damage of ultraviolet beam to accomplice the same DPS reduction.

We are a Utility class that can parse 5-7k easily in raids..

How is that not overpowered ?

The fact that PoM is the 5/6th highest dmg skill used when I group with a ranger guildy..

Is insane...

How can you say it is not overpowered ?

I am happy it was just this..
And not something much worse..
That they could easily do.

I am not saying that we are not overpowerd. I am saying that POM is the wrong way to decrease Illus raid dps. It would be much better to reduce some of our dd spells so that we would only do 4-5 k and then leave our utility were it is.

Why do you think the nerf was purely about "fixing" illusionist dps? The spell was not balanced when compared to other spells similar to it. They toned it down a bit. Its not a huge deal, something that everyone will adjust to a bit quicker than the rest of the agro changes coming with LU51 I'm sure.
