Another L change from the balance team

imagine wanting diversity in builds and then nerfing said diversity

they ended up nerfing it to 27 defense

a balance member that is chill and i respect him send me this

i asked him to send me a build that better to get that enchant over anything else bc its a balance server for pvp and just bc it takes the point of atlantean modifier just doesnt cut it for me, after all u sacrifice power and a lot of points in 1-2 substats that u could make it better with atlantean modifier and get used of 1-3 visual effects

anyways this is my answer

Bro if they fucking kill the only use of theurgist because of this ill be pissed

Compensating it as just pure attack speed is bullshit too, its nothing unique aside from the 3rd gem slot

what are they even on about thinking that making virtuous and atlantean conflict with each other?

what’s stopping the player with 2 atlantean items to just apply their 3 virtuous to the other items?

Uh, will I get compensation if they remove atlantean virtuous items? Or they are just removing ability to create it, but won’t wipe all already existing items?

Would be suck to lose full virtuous atlantean sunken set.

Currently you can use 5 virtuous scrolls with 4 atlantean modifiers

i just said they update it so virtuous enchant goes to give 27 defense

Look at the screenshot, people vote for 2nd variant, now read it.

Thats actually what I did. Tried 5 warding and 5 insanity for the first time, but found out that 4 warding negating 4 insanity was a bug and when I did 5 warding and 5 insanity I had to use atleast 1 weakest warding potion when I join to make it bug in and get immunity till server hop. Now I changed it to 5 warding and 4 insanity.

Now, while I see the logic, this is still 3 sunken pieces with 5 Virtuous. I guarantee most of their issues from this build comes from the power stat, but like I said in the discord itself, you can always just make level 3 insanity require 5 warding, and level 4 insanity be un-negatable. Not to mention this is also the most extreme min-max build possible.
Another solution besides changing insanity 3 and 4’s interactions with warding is to prevent warding enchants from affecting power or defense with virtuous. I don’t like this one though, and in all honesty I’d rather NOT run 4 atlantean essences because I’d rather not swap out my build pieces around for the Dark Sea every time I want to explore it’s later insanity regions.

Balance Kitchen has some burnt food

If you dont want Virtuous being better than Armored you could just nerf it to a point where it gives slightly worse stats overall

This is completely butchering it…

Fr I just made a fire build with it too :sob:

Balancing team try to be reasonable challenge

This is compeltely illogical. At this point, virtuos is total garbage and you are probably better off running the theugist set or what ever. Wait, they’re nerfing that to give only attack speed. Lol, you want build diversity? F*** you.

what diversity? Everyone runs 100 power and 700 defense, there’s no damn diversity in that even WITH substats. So what if I got 80 attack size? I got 2k health and hit like a freight train! Just aim!

Balance team says that high insanity + high warding builds are overpowered. Also this one +1 drawback making someones build better than mine while I have 5 warding and 4 insanity:

“wah wah my build diversity”
yeah, your +1300 defense +110 power build isn’t diverse. fuck you, they should nerf everything more

“oh yeah let’s make the drawback to the item that gives me even MORE stats even though i already have perfect jewelcrafting (fuck jewelcrafting) and enchants completely meaningless while ALSO buffing my defense!!!”
builds were fucking fine when all we had were boss drops and enchants, hell, every other enchant has a better version of itself now, quit fucking whining

lol fucking great post

i know you were just beating the fuck out of archer so idk if you’re being sarcastic or not

They really need to leave it alone
Making drawback actually viable would probably help (ie u get hp back if you can land hits :scream:)

Done and done. Drawback is a little less impactful, and Painite can be slotted in small amounts to give you a little extra juice.

Anything like a potential for HP regen / life vamp would step over the lines of Drawback being a purely negative stat.

fair enough
insanity is just WAY less of an issue than having drawback
