Yet another LU24 nerf - Blazing Lunge

[Dahlrek]

<div></div><div></div>"-Bruiser: Burn Through: The damage done by the initial hit in the Burn Through line (i.e. Blazing Lunge, Flaming Lunge) has been reduced."Result:Old = Initial Hit of 3x the DoT, 1 instant DoT tick, 4 ticks of DoT = 8 x DoT damageNew = Initial Hit of 2.2x the DoT, 0 instant DoT ticks, 4 ticks of DoT = 6.2 x DoT damageDamage loss = 22.5% minimum, more if you fail to get the full duration (45% if you get no DoT ticks).Are they nerfing this because of the focus effect?  I have no clue what they're thinking at this point.Edit: Fixed damage loss %, apparently I don't do math well in the mornings.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Dahlrek on <span class=date_text>05-23-2006</span> <span class=time_text>10:08 AM</span>

<P>Moorgard calls all monks to be bruiser I tell you:</P> <P>-Monk: Winter's Talon: Stun changed to Daze. Increased duration to 3<BR>seconds.<BR></P> <P>I would prefer losing damage to losing a stun. and as long as they change [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ing heroic mobs to lower CA stuff or actually remove resistability harder from mob CA's, it is [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ing loosing tank status.</P> <P> </P><p>Message Edited by selch on <span class=date_text>05-23-2006</span> <span class=time_text>05:29 PM</span>

<P>Yeah I feel you...</P> <P>They should just honestly tell "No, we dont want you to be group MT even" to brawlers (especially lack of mitigation tools to monks) unless they make avoidance useful as mitigation and not get lost in every [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ing mob CA</P> <P>Raiders can ever care less or will be hurt from this since stuns are no use to them ofcourse and more slap to small group and duo brawlers.</P> <P><SPAN class=time_text></SPAN> </P><p>Message Edited by selch on <span class=date_text>05-23-2006</span> <span class=time_text>05:53 PM</span>
