Epic Destiny Balance pass?

[Elves United]

Coming in the first quarter? Oh lordy. They're going to rip off that band-aid. And they didn't even talk about it. Just put it on their calender. Hopefully they won't nerf the over-powered Shadowdancer destiny too badly.

All spellcasting mantles will base their dice off of imbues!

Probably coming by Feb given the usual Lama timeline

What was great will become garbage and what was barely worth spending points in will now be the new meta

Shiradi locks here i come

They slam doors break all the windows

They need to remove 2 levels worth of power from the EDs in order for the game to remain balanced when the cap goes up.

Inb4nerf (EA/US/FoTW/DI/Shiradi (ranged))

Yeah I'm kinda nervous about it. I really enjoy my current characters in epics and endgame with the EDs, for the most part. I just hope there aren't dramatic changes that blow that up.

 

[DDObot]

It's cool that players have narrowed down the usefulness of trees with a lot of practice, seeing what's bugged/works, but like anything else any nerfs and changes will be fine. Adapt. Hell, it might spice it up, who knows

 

[popejubal]

My biggest question is “balanced for what?” There are some builds that are astonishingly good at leveling… but kind of garbage in high difficulty raids. Tanks really shine in high difficulty content but they’re miserable to level. Builds that are at the top of the heap for single target damage so substantially less multi target/AoE damage and vice versa.

There are some outliers that could be reined in a bit but I worry that player outcry against builds good at one aspect of the game will ignore the fact that there’s more to the game than just leveling.

 

[DDObot]

Yeah it's a complex answer, I agree

 

[DBZ]

The top 3 eds of course its SCORCHED EARTH TIME

Elminster gets his wish clean slate with no survivors

What eds come close to adrenaline shiradi and di ruins oh right there are none

Balance Pass (noun) Dev speak for "nerf good stuff from orbit"

Used in a sentence: "We are going to do a balance pass on EK imbues and level 29 raid weapons"

 

[DDObot]

I mean, careful what you wish for! Who knows, find out on the next episode of D D O!!!! *roll credits*

 

[Kielbasa]

Lets just hope that 2024 is bizarro world where they leave the stuff we like alone and buff the stuff no one uses to open up more creative options to play in epic and legendary.

Surely if we bombard lamaland with suggestions when this hits they can't ignore all of them right??

 

[DBZ]

Yes they can this rodeos gona be a good one

 

[Jack Jarvis Esquire]

I'm hoping they won't introduce more power creep and also don't want nerfs.

TBH I'm just a decidedly awkward customer, really...

 

[Scrag]

I saw the balance pass mentioned; I am just getting pretty decent at messing around with the destinies, and will be miserable if i have to learn all over again.

To be clear <- noob of 15 months

that is optimistic!

Consider that they nerfed Lotus only recently.

Adrenaline has been giving my rogue a lifeline. The auto-knockdown to helplessness is just HUGE.

 

[DBZ]

On the upside insta killers might be a whole lot stronger again not just by 33 percent either lol
