"For the time being, we are going to revert this change and bring it back as part of the following update. The delay will allow us to better listen to feedback and perhaps refine the change. As mentioned though this change is something we need to do to make sure procs don't continue to go out of control as more and more base damage items enter into the game." - Aeralik

If they "listen to feedback" and "refine" it as much as he did with the fighter changes....WE ARE FUCKED IN OUR DUMPHOLES.

Oh, even better news. The TSO AA increasing 1h base damage has been nerfed on test from 25% to 15%. Woot, the nerfs keep coming....

Ramone

Well............

Upon reading the posts on the proc nerf which atm seems to be in limbo but will come down the line no matter what and then the nerfs to our blue AE's is just about par for course for SoE's view on the class.

I knew at the launch of TSO it was too good to be true and this confirms it. I will still play my SK, and roll with the nerf's like I have since launch.

WTB a Dev with a clue, oh wait that would require a miracle.

============================================

Personally I would like an itemized list of all the nerfs SKs are looking at on Test right now, I know some:
1. TSO AA of 25% base weapon damage being nerfed to 15%
2. AE damage nerf
*Note that these first 2 are going to have a large impact on both offensive and defensive stance*
3. WHILE tanking -.5 mod to auto attack damage, -10% base spell damage, loss of self proc buff, -skills
4. WHILE offensive, loss of taunts, 10% more damage taken
5. Furor spell damage nerfed from 20% to 10%.

1b. Knight's Stance nerfed from 25% Weapon Damage bonus to 15%.
2b. High end spread on all AE abilities have been lowered. This includes: Sacrament, Doom, Circle, Aura, and Tap
5b. Furor gives 10% improved threat now in exchange for 10% spell damage. -- NO THANKS! Have you seen the excess amount of increased Hate/Threat we have with the changes? It's not only redundant, it's overkill.
Boot : Added Increased threat to target
Idolic Axe : Increases the base amt of Taunts by up to 9.6% and Increases Taunt crit chance by up to 17.6%
Defensive Pact : Increases Taunt amt of Defensive Stance by up to 25%
Enhance Chastisement II : Increases base Hate by up to 9%
Enhance Insinuate : Increases the base Hate amt by up to 6%
Valor in Battle: Improves triggered threat in stance by up to 25%
Not to mention Defensive stance now grants improved Threat in multiple components: Vengeful Feedback, Unholy Strike, and Increased Hate Gain by 8%
6. Change to Enhance Insinuate we lose lowering of resistability. 41% harder on Test vs 63% harder on Live.

================================================== ========

Live Grave Sacrament M1, inflicts 2155-3123
Test Grave Sacrament M1, inflicts 1963-2350
25% reduction of high end damage

DPS goes down, taunts go up. Big surprise.

Deule

DPS goes down in both stances, taunts go up and can only be used in defensive....yeah that seems right for some reason. Lol.

Symbiotic

Screwing with the 20% base spell damage mod on Shadowknight's Furor is really going to %#@! me off...

alot of decent sized nerfs incoming, it'll be intresting to see who continues to stick with the class on my server..

you are wrong here.
the way how aggression works has also been changed on test (besides it increasing taunt amount)
there is a devpost around that states that taunts get unresistable if your aggression is high enough in comparison to mob lvl, so those aas were/are not needed anymore


edit:

Aeralik wrote:

Aggression reduces the resistability of the taunt spells as well. If you have 10% more aggression than the targets current level than your taunt becomes unresistable. So for example a level 80 mob has 400 base skill by having 440 aggression or higher your taunts become unresistable to your target. The resistability also scales down over that 40 point zone so yes having aggression is actually worthwhile now
