Interesting, so I see that SoE thought it a smart idea to not change the stats on Ancient Dreadscale Greeves, and allow those who received the item "pre-nerf" to maintain their original item because of what I can only guess to be the inherent investment some individuals put into acquiring the item. However, they chose to nerf the Baldrik of the Di'zok Warlord (warrior ward belt) in this last LU to remove its ward effect and replace it with haste and 2 melee crit and NOT allow those who acquired the item pre-nerf to maintain their original item, effects intact.

I can't help but draw a connection between these two items, and what SoE has done with them. One of the two courses of action then is fundamentally flawed and in need of correction.

I present two options to SoE in order to maintain any sense of balance in regards to the changes made to these two items.

1. SoE needs to nerf the Dreadscale Greeves so that warriors can no longer wear it who received it pre-nerf.

2. SoE needs to un-nerf the Baldrik of the Di'zok Warlord for those who acquired it before the changes.

[Keep in mind, if SoE wants to maintain having an item to help Crusaders tank, they can always introduce a new item, and just nerf Dreadscale Greeves to no longer having an effect]

While I don't agree with nerfing other people's stuff. The nerf to the Baldric is absolutely fucking outrageous. From a semi-decent ward, to some bullshit haste and +2 melee crit? Seriously, what the fuck? I am quite use to taking the dick up the ass, but I didn't realize how much SoE enjoyed to do it.

keldo

did that ward actually parse at all?

28 haste in belt slot isn't exactly a common thing, much better imo

Fonil

I thought it was ok before Love it now.

Judist

Loving the belt, and its hardly bs trading the previous ward (parsed shit) for 2crit and 28haste.

I'd imagine if a better haste item werent easily accquired it would be a pleasant item. The ward was nice though. I would've liked a warning or something along the lines though. If they are going to change the status of an item from a collection then they should give you the option of exchanging that item back in for the collection pieces to resell or perhaps exchanging for another collection of similar quality. To me, it's now all but worthless expect as a dps item. In which case, its quiet nice.

Bramwell

Could someone please tell me which collection this is from.

Edit: Nm found it...Kunark: Chokidai Collars

They usually don't let people keep the OG versions of items. Everyone who gunned after Chelsith to get the Coil ring got nerfed today. It is now a 15% chance instead of 100% and the dmg output is reduced. AKA its pretty terrible now.

keldo

What haste item is "better and more easily aquired" than a belt with 2 crit and 28 haste from a collection?

SoE needs to knock off the selective nerfing crap.

Either they grandfather in ALL the loot that people have and change the ones that drop after or change everything.
