I think there is only an argument here if you give the factions all classes. Give us all classes, nerf PvP gear. Maybe raid gear is better or easier to get, maybe PvP gear is, it really depends on the player, but we can agree that factions are lacking certain classes, and exiles are lacking certain gear. It's just more byproduct of us all being addicted to a game that has been altered for PvP in a way that many times does not work.

The difference is some FP and Q have admited that it could use a partial nerf wheras pretty much every exile has said severe nerf. The only people on the opposite end of the spectrum saying the item is underpowered are complete morons.

I guess it all depends on what you consider "severe" and what you consider "partial".

Severe nerf for me means take that bitch down from 20% to 5-8%, and hopefully for dots it is only affected by the initial damage.

I am honestly not 100% on how items like this work with dots, but the way it reads I interpret off each tick.

What isn't fair about that?

Fuck the deaggro it is just a nuisance, did any of you inspect the Banshee Hoop from the PvP merchant? 10% chance to fear an opponent on all incoming damage? That isn;t something you just hit a fucking button for, thats fucking OP! ( I have it too )

If you look to see who voted for "doesn't need nerf at all", you'll see several players who are already proud owners of this extremely overpowered item.

I assume the rest are folks who just don't have enough tokens yet.

Hi pot!

Hi pot!
Pot would be me saying it is severely underpowered and needs boosted tbh. However, I voted it is fine. I do not have one yet but I do have the tokens for it, just waiting to see what PvP gear is like befroe I go spend my tokens. The item is very situational in terms of OP'ness, it really depends on what class is using it.

Triggerchance should be halved and damageamount doubled in my opinion. There is also a shield for healers with the same proc, but since hardly any healer has a nice deaggro spell this should stay as it is.

I meant to vote #2. Yeah, Hael, it does proc off every DoT tick.

I like what the Xunen guy said, and I think a couple others mentioned it as well.
