Default Hate Changes to Swashbucklers

Showing the changes that are currently on the test server for anyone to lazy to check them out themselves. If this is already posted somewhere else I apoligize.



In my opinion I don't like that they switch the weapon just to proc aoe damage. They made the overall damage of the weapon significantly lower and still no increase to DA/Crit/Flurry like other scout mythical's. Also they lowered the proc rate of the damage on the weapon from 2.9times per min to 2.3time per min. On the subject of hate, I think our Swarthy line has become completely under par to what it should be. It is good for a quick reinforcement if a mob is running rampant but only 3 trigger's with a 1 minute recast? I like many others I'm sure are very disappointed by this update to our class specifically. I don't see me being worthy of a MT grp spot in raids anymore and only benficial for my enhanced tswipe and debuffs.

Is it just me, or does Sleight of Hand blow compared to Swarthy Disorder?

Can't really compare them, tbh. But Sleight of Hand always sucked (only useful on very few mobs).

Well I guess missing the top bit of it, I suppose that makes it pretty beast swap with a healer every 30s or whenever you hit 90%. Be nice and cast Swarthy Disorder on the MT for extra hate for the raid.

I liked swarthy disorder when it was hate xfer, 3 triggers of it.. 1 min recast? Practically useless imo esp since alot of fighter TSO lines have positional increase taunts I believe, dont quote me. The top of SoH remains the same.. just says swaps hate with current target.

Slips stop harassing my threads!

Two swashes chaining Swarthy Disorder on the MT every 30 seconds might be worth thinking about. That's ~30k threat per minute. Threat spikes of course at the 0, 30, 60 second marks.

That would involve some kind of cohesion that only 3% of the EQ2 population holds. For the rest... the skill will serve as a space in the knowledge book or a frustration tactic used to discourage some shitty pick-up OT that no one likes.

This is the coming change I will hate the most.
Rogues and preds will have to lower down their dps or they'll gank aggro in a few seconds into the fight.
the offtank will still need 2 healers in group, right? so basically we are adding 1 healer to the raidforce and we are having both coercer and dirge in that group to buff 1 only class. I expect raidwide dps will go down a lot if the MT group is gonna be like that.

that's a lot of assuming!

oh, and why the fuck are people upset about a blue aoe proc on our mythical? have people not seen the destructive power of the axe of war!?!?!?!
