Can't quote that one enough. I have no doubt SOE will simply do whatever they decide to do with little care of what the player base thinks and with little logic/research behind their actions. Likewise I realize there will always be the “whatever” players: that whatever SOE does the poster will say it doesn’t matter and “stop QQing” and basically have no stance besides “whatever” and post to let us know how a-pathetic they are one way or the other. However outside those two factors, I am curious as to what is going on in this thread.
I see no issue with proc items doing the damage they do. I expect them to be doing significantly better damage than they were during KOS and EOF, as I expect the same from overall dps. I take into consideration some of the items we are listing are the best items currently available and people spent some time obtaining them. I am not sure the core issues some of you, my fellow wizards, take with proc items? Do you feel they are too strong in proportion to other items for our class or for other classes?
As I look at gear selection of other wizards, I am not seeing a lot of top end player choosing items that simply have a proc on it over other gear available. Surely no one thinks, given their position in itemization, our mythical or say blackened band should be elsewhere as far as "gear strength?"
If it is a sentiment that players are doing "too much damage" do you feel this fault lies in the realm of proc items? … That way too much of our dps is made up from proc items in comparison to other items of the same item level? Or is it that players are doing too much damage overall and any nerf is a good nerf?
