overweight

x82nd77 · 07-31-2007, 02:22 PM

Maybe I am blind and missing it in the patch notes, but I am overweight all of the sudden. Did they they remove a str buff from something? I have double checked everything I am wearing and what I am carrying.

A STR buff is being removed, and we are getting +90 Spell dammage instead. Is it in then SMILEY

Your lost your str for 30dmg on SOME spells. YAy!

I don't understand why they didn't put that strength on another buff like they did for paladins.

I'm guessing its b.c the same team who made Gates of Discord for Eq1 made this update.

I thought that was because SOE hates SKs. We have the weakest agro generation of any class (Arn't we supposed to be a class that makes people hate them? And I thought that the power of a Shadowknight traditionally came from Innoruuk anyway.) we have the 23rd lowest raid utility (thanks to the NEW buff) I think SOE just hates us. WTB: Terror of Discord spell from EQ1 (mmm, 3000 instant agro with a 2 second recast that cost 15 mana)

No, that's just how +spell dammage works. It's normalized. I'm ok with that change actually, but I generally only raid with my SK. The minimal benefit from the STR component compared to the raid benefit of the spell dammage is a step up imo. For soloing it's a bad thing though, and likely for grouping as well, depending on the group makeup of course.
