I’ll ridicule criticism when that criticism is of me or my colleagues, or is otherwise batshit crazy (which is how most of your criticism reads). But if you want some more concrete, grounded replies based in the reality we live in, let’s take a few steps back…
You mean the Censure nerfs that the Crucible crowd so desired for and that I ardently opposed (and still oppose?)
The nerf that x1x1x1x2 brought up and everyone agreed with?
You mean from a thread that YOU FUCKING STARTED?
This trend really continues for much of your list of nerfs. So next time you wanna blame Praets for all the “bad changes” that have ever happened in the game, feel free to take a look back on things and see which part of the community is really getting things nerfed.
Now, as to AoM; the
would be Nightblades making humanoid enemies evaporate. Suddenly Iron Maiden and Fabius are once again the bane of glasscannon makers everywhere. Since people can no longer outright ignore their mechanics by obliterating them in half a second, they finally pose the threat they’ve always meant to. Sounds like everything’s working as intended.
AoM’s racial damage was brought in line with FoR but is still better than Steel Resolve. Something very obviously overpowered has been fixed. If Nightblades proceed to struggle in certain areas after this, there are plenty of ways to adjust them, either in mastery, devotion, items, or even on the enemy side of things.
Communicate with me on a build that’s “dead” or “extinct,” and I will happily work with you on getting that fixed. But right now, 170 posts in, this thread hasn’t produced more than some blathering about some numbers being cut down.
