Nerf please?

[Rusty_helmet]

Now that most of my friends that I play with regularly have quit or taken extended breaks, can we please get actual nerfs to inquisitives?

It’s been really boring soloing and I’m not grouping purposefully with inquisitives as they just ruin the entire experience.

Many thanks and bye.

 

[OG DM]

For every "nerf inquisitives" thread, inquisitives get 1% more DPS.

Nerf the nerf-bat perhaps?

The simplest solution ^. I know people that don't run with DC insta-kill casters because it reduces their fun.

I'm surprised this is such a big problem on other servers. Khyber has a healthy mix of builds, if anything I wish there were a bit more inquisitors (and other high damage builds ran) so we could do higher difficulty raids.

Often enough the problem is simply a lack of damage and the cost in time is not worth it, even if the raid were capable of completion otherwise.

A lot of people on cnnith play inquisitive, but it's maybe half of people and I have no trouble having fun in groups with them.

Instead of nerfing Inquisitives, start buffing other builds.

 

[mikarddo]

In groups I often see strong melee builds (of many kinds) doing about on par with Inqs.
It often depends on the zone layout and mob density who performs better.
These days in almost never see any (non-healer) casters though.

Overall, I dont see Inqs as the sole problem - but martial dps being too strong, making healers, tanks and casters less desired.
A good start would be to give martial dps the same reaper penalties that magic damage got a good while back.

they should have inquisitive work with all weapon types, rangers can use 2 longbows, paladins can use 2 greatswords, and for dual wielders, they can have 2 scimitars in each hand

You know … yeaaaah it’s about time to nerf them (actually nerf them for real, not buff them on accident).

It’s getting bad when I see the FvS icon and I’m all like…

Like what exactly?

Your just another who cries nerf without suggesting a solution as to how.

A novel one is every time they fire a xbow there is a chance for misfire (10%) and weapon breakage.

The weapon breakage is severe that every 3rd misfire or so the xbow is unusable.

Also enemies can block or evade xbow bolts at a 150% rate (they can catch a xbow bolt and throw it back at you).

So how is this relevant as a nerf, when to do this would be game breaking for those who play Inq?

Leave it alone for a while ... having fun with an alt

I agree this is much closer to reality vs. all these melee bros pitch fork threads. They are trying to do the same thing to ranged that they did to casters.

There is a group of forum "players" that basically want melee DPS to be the only option; everyone else should be "support".

The thing with melee is that their DPS is deserved/earned because they have to actually run into melee range with those mobs/raid boss and get possibly two-shotted.

With inquisitive (and to a much lesser extent now post nerf with casters) you have this . . .

All I see is mobs getting wrecked, not good melee players dying all over the place. This argument is complete BS in most cases. In raids you have a tank, in quests everything dies so quickly it is a non-issue.

Not to mention all the defense, crowd control, and healing melee have gained over the last 5 years.

No.
