SoulShield / Blessed Armour - Patch 1.0 changes - buff has been majorly nerfed

[Nyx]

Seems bugged if you ask me, it now appears to scale off SC which determines the buff length but the values never change so level 0-3 makes no difference as it still does the exact same.


I can cast AMC buff level 3 and it lasts for anywhere between 30s and 110s (6-30 SC) and gives 0-5 (nerfed originally gave both base and top) and if I cast the AC buff level 1 it lasts also between 30s and 110s (again 6-30 SC) and gives 0-4 AC (again nerfed use to give top and bottom).


I assume its a mistake rather than intentional?

they should never give base AC / AMC, this would be too much of a good thing.

The time scales might need looking into as on euro it was 30 seconds, then 1 min then 2 then 3 mins in length. SC never made a difference in relation to this one.

 

[IceMan]

Yes they shouldnt give base.

 

[DiabloVodkaShot]

as above ^ ^ ^

 

[blah1233]

so level 3 is supposed to be up to 3minutes?

 

[neptuneshaun]

on euro it used to be between 3 min and 4 min at level 3.

That's fine any chance of reviewing the timers?

4 ac buff when mobs hit you for 70 damage when I have 35ac lol, giving base or not doesn’t make a blind bit of difference.

the only defensive stat worth getting on this server is agility.

This I have to quote. I'd personally suggest putting in a suggestion to server team to see if they can make a higher level version of this that gives a bit more. Something to over right these skills at say 42+ bit more of a buff might be a good idea.

A combined, stronger buff at a higher level would be great. Better than having multiple keys bound when in most cases you're going to cast both anyway.

All buffs should be a % rather than static. 5% lvl0, 10%lvl1, 15%lvl2, 20%lvl3. Then make SC effect duration. Simple and effective, the more stats the target has the better the buff is relative to them, but it is always a relevant increase. Personally, I'd also add a debuff to SFB when a buff is cast. So if the tao is buffing, they are losing some of their damage capability as a tradeoff. Also, only affect group members and is removed if someone joins/leaves group to avoid it being abused. If taos are supposed to be the support class, then it should be done properly. They should be overpowered/most valuable in a group to warrant them being support. Even duoing, they should make the other person level faster instead of being a drain. By all means let us be trash at solo if we can support the **** out of our friends...
