I am just curiouse on what everyones opinions on the changes coming with GU-51. For those who don't know, they are taking all the Hate Transfers away from the few classes who have them, most importantly Assasins and Swashbucklers. Pallidens are loosing amends too. With these changes what is everyones thoughts on how that is going to affect DPS in raids and our survivability.

Seems like a new AA spec is coming lol..

STR AGI and INT anyone..

STR 4-6-48-2 AGI 4-6-4-8-2 INT 4-4-5-8

Any post you can point to as to how this change will be implemented?

If they remove our hate transfer, are they going to modify our mythicals? This seems like an extremely bad move to me.

As far as Aeralik stated our mythicals would not longer have the increase to threat transfer, they are replacing it with something ( as to what they are putting on it.. who knows. probably something to do with SoH ).

The reasoning Aeralik gave for removing all hate transfers aside from Bard Buffs and Coercer Hate is because of the changes being made to fighter classes. Alot of this information is pieced together from PM's to Aeralik and the Dev Discussion thread from Alakhazam.

As far as implementation goes, who knows. As far as we know they could take all of the hate Transfers like Swarthy Disorder and change them into Hate Decreasers ( self buff ), but that is only a speculation.

Well I for one am not entirely happy with what I'm hearing but if it has to be done, it has to be done.

I believe our desirability is going to go down. We were dps but we had something that pretty much guaranteed a desire for us to be in the raid. If they replace that with a shit dps proc(+CRIT or +DA) I will be very upset and if it effects my status within my raid force I will very likely quit the game over it. So I hope it turns out for the best.

Well the only thing that may keep us in raids is the fact that there supposed to give us the %Crit Debuff that assasins get. And there supposed to get the original spell that we had for Thieving Essence witch was an INT and STR debuff.

Where did you hear / read this

I am also curious where you have heard this, I can't find anything on it. At this point I would doubt they would make that change without the predator community getting pissed off.


We will see whats happening tomorrow probably, they said mid this week for the first part of GU51 to hit test servers.

Coel

Swashbuckler

* The Swarthy Distraction line of spells has changed to be a short duration buff which greatly increases or decreases their target’s hate.

SPELLS

As a result of spell changes, the triggered effect on Charm’s Way has been changed to be upfront and target enemies in the area of effect.
