Hi there,

I'm looking for a SmartBuffBar (or similar) Addon that displays more than only 40 buffs in bars. Do you have an updated version or know simething equal? Thanks in advance!

I'm speaking of an addon looking like this...

increase damage dealt by XYZ% instead of physical and magical damage

So this means only the type of damage that is calculated differently will change, or does it mean that those skills only increase the damage dealt by oneself, no more any others anymore?

Quote from Patchnotes

Changed Venomous Snipe to lose its effect when Snipe is used.

After a bunch of test runs, dummy parses and a huge commit into my rota, I realized that Venomous Snipe is (imho) best using it after the first snipe, so the next snipe will come out 15 seconds later, which I was delaying to 2-3 seconds left of the buff. So then the second snipe comes out, gets boosted by the Venomous Snipe and cancels it at the very last tick.

Only problem for this: Venomous Snipe triggers gcd, which feels a bit messy in between my burst. So my suggestion is to remove the gcd from this single skill.

• Added aura for several class buff to Baltons in Atlantis, also some of your spell cooldowns will tick faster while around these Baltons.

Greetings

Well okay nevermind then Thanks guys, that was it.

I just found a bug that halfed the cooldown time of several buffs on my S/Wl (no idea if the class mattered), such as Essence Arrow, Venomous Snipe, Ironblood and many more. It seemed that this happened when I had a specific buff running. Unfortunately I didn't realize what buff that was. First, I thought it was a general S/Wl bug, but after my buffs from yesterday ran out, the bug disappered.

I gonna do some more tests, but just wanted to let you know, that there is something out there breaking the game.

At this screenshot you see my buffs I used all at the same time, but only the ancient water spirit potion had its original 3min cd, all the others finished their cooldown much earlier (Ironblood as well, not on this screen visible).

So dwarven beer and Poisonous Surge were doing as intended, but the others didn't.

Edit: nevermind, I'm blind...

After a lot of runs with different healers I experienced that only the priest/scout seems to break my fps on some way. Unfortunately I can't really say what skill exactly is responsable for this issue. At least I guess it's something about the regeneration after the Curing Shot or such. This brought me down to 5-10 fps which was awful.

Hey there,

I would like to suggest adding a new buff tower to the guild castle inventory, which increases the movementspeed of characters by 10% on Level 10. This could make the castle way more interesting again, resources would be required more again and movementspeed is a pretty good utility for instances, but 10% is quite enough not to be too fast in my opinion.

Cheers

Hi there,

the magical wardrobe is one of the features I'm using a lot, maybe most every day. Some friends aready agreed, we need more slots in it and just like in the inventory and bank a search function. If you have more than like five or six tabs full of skins, you need a search to find anything imo. Would appreciate the search even more than more slots btw.

Quote from Marcellos

Hmm. I completely disagree with this . This is how this ability (Venomous Snipe) becomes completely useless, because it will only work on Snipe (which has a cooldown of 15 seconds).

I don't think it's useless, because your next snipe will be empowered, so even if it doesn't crit, it still is more powerful and if you don't get the crit, you can snipe once again. Also the buff just applies the damage increase to your next snipe, not any in the full 20 seconds.

Hey there,

some time ago we got the new bagpack pages 7-12, which is really useful. But could you maybe add an option to show all the 12 bags on one single window? Sorting and ordering stuff between the first and last 6 pages is pretty annoying, since you always need to swtich the tab to the other six bags. So the result would be one view with all 12 bags shown at the same time.

S/Wl:

• Changed Venomous Snipe to do not provide poison damage anymore, increased Snipe damage increment to 24% from 8%.
• Reduced Poisonous Will poison damage gain to 118% from 125%.
• Increased Elemental Discipline focus recovery chance to 35% from 30%.

This looks pretty good imo. The burst dps was bit too much before and focus sustain bit too less, so this will fix both I guess. I could imagine the 15% less poison damage will matter in trash by using 3min cooldowns, but we will see.

Other stuff:

Quote from Patchnotes

(...) Every creature killed will inflict 2% damage to tactic object.

I also appreciate the changes to Jerath event, finally killing mobs is relevant now (if I get this right). So ppl now kill mobs constantly to damage the boss as well? This could bring some more dynamics to the fight and require some positioning skills I guess. Sounds good.

The cooldown could also make the whole thing much more teamwork related as well, hope it works as intended.

Quote from Patchnotes

Added physical attack, attack speed and bad luck aura to Nayat, Siddartha and Krishna in Realm of Forgotten Legends Hard Mode.

What is this aura? Something that happens if someone missclicked a debuff that makes the specific boss stronger to force the party to communicate better and coordinate the clicks? Appreciate this if I get it right.

Quote from Patchnotes

Changed Balton to re-apply poison every 3 seconds instead of 5 in Realm of Forgotten Legends Hard Mode

So this should implement a dps and heal check I guess. It already was ok to me, but we will see how this evolves.

In our latest runs I realized that Balton had a quite long immune phase after respawning the first time. Can you somehow reduce this, since it's annoying not to be able to aggro him asap as a tank and in some cases he runs straight to a supporter and onehits him. Thats kinda rng and shouldn't happen imo.

Quote from Rakot_Hades

This is all fine but we are talking about end game

That's the point. Are we only talking about endgame and one meta for everything, based on only our endgame experience?

Totally agree to this, but still you need to accept even those player who might not understand how mechanics and stuff works, who have higher pings than skyscrapers and these who play on their own built pc system for like 30 years now.

wait, what? why would i accept that people apparently have no idea about "how mechanics and stuff works" should get a boost just because some other people know how to play? i mean, instead of learning how to play -

if they have ping or old computer, thats their own issue, not related with class balance. it is like adding auto aim to players who have low fps in an first person shooter game.

Don't get me wrong, I don't talk about those leechers that don't do anything in ROFL and let others die for their core. I'm talking about players who might not have that much knowledge of the game yet or need some help but are willed to evolve and to do progress. I saw many ppl that were very lost in the CoA-Universe, but after helping them with rota or such, they were able to come to terms with it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On the other hand we got guilds that still struggle on Inferno, Tikal, maybe Gorge.

don't take it personally, if people are struggling with running tikal/inferno/gorge with current overboosted classes, then they should not call themselves a properly playing dps. even in 2018 these instances were possible to run with 1-2 dps with classes alot weaker than current class combinations.

Not taken as such, as it doesn't relate to me or my guild Totally agree to this, but still you need to accept even those player who might not understand how mechanics and stuff works, who have higher pings than skyscrapers and these who play on their own built pc system for like 30 years now. I mean, we all play the same game and want to have fun altogether, so noone should get disadvantages of behavior of others. I don't blaim anyone not to play endgame or not to use a combat engine or whatever.

Quote from melodic

Actually we too have those dummies since a few patches, however they seem to not work correctly, receiving different amounts of dmg that not fit their debuffs....

Yeah, maybe we need some more, maybe also some "trash"-simulation with separated fields of 5, 10, 15, 20 dummys with trashmob values

I think plate is missing, also rating strength for gear types is not the way I guess...

Quote from deszcz2

In my opinion balance should be first done in one class and it's different combos(so every combo of this call will be viable), and then level all classes to same/similar dmg(so everything will be playable). (but this is how i would do balance)

That is probably a question of how one would like to carry out the balancing. In my opinion it is difficult to balance all classes in their combinations first and then to other classes because there is no real component that can be adjusted to make all secondary classes better or worse with one change. So I prefer to set a benchmark and then adjust all classes to the value. You would then have to decide whether you want to divide the classes into categories (aoe, support, single target damage, burst damage...) and how much you weight which category. (By that I mean how much damage can you "take away" from a class if it has good support skills.)

Well but that is probably an independent topic and is decided by the devs.

I think we are circling around for some days/weeks. Only a few classes get balanced atm, most is about warden and champ, sometimes a rogue appears in patchnotes (as I feel it). Imho balancing is not possible in the current content, since we have a too massive gap in the playerbase in terms of gear.

On one hand we got the (more or less) golden player raids which just destroy all inis and bosses in a leap. On the other hand we got guilds that still struggle on Inferno, Tikal, maybe Gorge. BUT we need a balancing that matches them all, or at least most of them.

The way how it's done currently is not the way I think it's effective nor efficient. Most players complaining about their very own favorite classes and are not objective, that's a problem. Also all our raids are completely different, in our guild runs the wardens are absolute overpowered, on others the mages, and so on. It all depends on so many factors, such as available support, gear, rota engine (custom lua, kitty, diyce, slayer, whatever). So that all makes no sense at all to me.

What we need is a unite environment to test stuff. On other games I saw dummy parses where you burst on a dummy to reach a specific amount of damage and check the time after that. Same could be done for AoE with multiple dummys. But ROFL is imho the worst example to compare classes/raids or to balance classes at all.

Hey there,

I just found some old Destiny Rings in my chest and would like to see them added to the itemshop in some way. Maybe on a promo or sale, but I think, there are many players without having the speed buff and would like to be faster. Maybe this could be used for the starter gear as a 7 days one.

#Dont nerf classes (for not golden armor characters instead nerf the golden armor) or just buff the weak classes

Im just starting to get bored of this game cause of the balance system is ALWAYS in benefit of the ppl that is just fully endgame. Its always we nerf the op class that all the golden endgame chars are using on rolf making rolf a joke ini, while the ppl with an average gear of rolf red armor / gorge armor are getting worst and worst with every class (In my opinion this ISS from the golden set is a Joke are super op and are just for golden boyss..... this will make rolf easier for them that will make more nerfs)

Agree on that. The problem is, that most ppl giving feedback come from endcontent and these get the most likes by their guild mates, so posts from midcontent players will not be seen in the flood. Imo they should close the thread for a while and keep doing their own balancing, which worked just well in the past. I mean, I appreciate the possibility to give feedback, but the whole balancing process is more and more cycling around for some few classes.

Also it always depends completely on given support classes and raid setup, so you can't even do objective balancing in ROFL. In our runs the Wardens are completely overpowered, most having 30-40% more overall damage than any other class, but in other guilds its the mages that are broken, in another guild its the champs. There are so many factors that deny an objective balancing...

D/Wl

Guess I found a bug on the Druid/Warlock in B2 event, I was immune to single red circles all the time. Tested this multiple times.

Wd/Wl vs Ch/Wl

I can't really tell much about this topic since I don't play chain classes, but can tell you what I saw in our runs from my perspective.

I think Warden/Warlock is/was about 20-30% better in overall dps than Champ/Warlock, at least it was in our runs on Friday and Sunday. Some bosses just got crushed by the Warden(s) with 50kk+ hits, especially on Balton a Warden reached over 400kk total dmg, which was insane, because our other dds had equal gear.

However Champ is much more defensive than Warden and dies much less through this potential. I don't think, Champ was/is too weak, but Warden/Warlock is definitively way too strong.

Quote from Zyrex

I think its damage doesn't really matter at all.

I have no words. This skill is our best dmg source in sustain unless we are full buffed. How this dmg doesn't matter?

For me it seems that only a few part of my dps come from earth arrow, most comes from the poison combo.

On screenshot you see earth arrow on 3rd place with 11% overall damage. Poisonous Arrow did that like 3-times. On bosses earth arrow has more or less the same amount of total damage.

Quote from Madox

It is already a perma 0.7s cast. Reduce its general cast to 1s mean dmg of the skill would be nerfed so this wouldn't work in endgame unless they double its current dmg.

I think its damage doesn't really matter at all. In burst I start with full nature power, which is regenerated through the poison combo itself. Only thing that lowers the amount permanently, is Sandstorm. So the 0.5s cast would enable the user to regenerate it better in trash. I mean, i used to heal myself with Restore Life when I was waiting for the tank or such. That felt kinda useless, better dealing smaller hits and just recovering nature points faster imo.

Laisha Oh yes indeed, the 0.2s difference make a difference ofc. Most times my casts interrupted at 0.6s

Druid/Warlock

Last few days I tested the Druid/Warlock in rofl, inferno, hos and original content. I think the dps i fine and it's a very cool and fun class. You have to manage your nature points sustain and focus, but should always keep an eye on your mana as well.

There is only 1 problem: you have literally nothing for fast single targets. Everything that deals more damage than like nothing, is a cast or has a decent cooldown. So maybe you could change the cast time of Earch Arrow from 2 seconds to 1 second so that it can be casted with 0.5s on targets. Also this would help to work against the massive nature points decrement/problems in AoE sections.

Side info: For me it's a bit messy to use the Sandstorm as a ground target in my rota, since I don't use AU Kitty. So I wrote a huge macro/lua that also uses other aoe stuff and no-gcd skills as well efficiently. But still it feels bad somehow. Maybe this could changed to a targeting skill with splash damage, such as Mage/Knight lightstars or static field of general mage? I mean, it's working like okay, but could be improved I guess

Hi there,

I just got a quick idea, which could be used in coming content or also changed in already existing one. I noticed there are a lot of signpost allover the workd of Taborea, which show nearby locations and points of interest. Maybe you could change some of these to waypoints to fast travel inside a zone itself. Then you could use the doggo (however it's called in EN) to transport between zones and waypoints in zones themselves.

The signposts are all units that have tooltips, such as immortal objects, which might be changed to enable a text panel on click or such.

Also I see many players shouting occasionally for transportation to other continents. Maybe there could be some kind of mechanic to fast travel between continents as well? Especially for new players this would help a lot or at least for me (as I never know what continent is where and what ). Also, it's kinda useless to actually need to activate all the doggos first to use them. It might be better having them all activated from the beginning and to be free to port anywhere you want.

These signposts I'm talking about:
