Nukes and transfer pain is all they need in mass PVP. Transfer pain IS so OP lol. It’s incredibly powerful and makes necro the preferred mass PVP nuker simply because they can survive focus fire twice as effectively than elemental mages. Also, their pet gives bishop a larger effective health pool with which to balance life. Why do you think mass PVP on TI is 99% necro parties? Elemental mages are glass canons. You make a conscious choice to improve overall damage output by sacrificing tankiness. The problem is…. Tankiness is way more important especially when death spike base power is > baseline nukes from elemental mages. If you play a Necro with transfer pain and hold down death spike in mass PVP you will be more impactful than every elemental nuker - besides maybe elemental nuker heroes. If you’re saying Necro won’t land debuff in mass PVP wouldn’t that mean the debuff nerf has zero impact on mass PVP? Only mass PVP nerf is Death Spike power and pet resummon time (an attempt to balance transfer pain). Seems pretty reasonable…? Why would you try to balance around non-stacked characters? That seems a little weird.

Has any consideration been given to another farm location for weapon parts to earn daily coins? A little weird the only place to farm them is in FI which is multi-year old content. I would think adding to HB and Ketra/Varka would make sense.

Is only way to acquire 8 through this dungeon or daily coin trade as well?

Am I reading correctly? Bracelet level 8 for Talking Island?

I would say everyone agrees you shouldn’t arbitrarily balance classes. Does anyone disagree that necro is S tier in both Olympiad and mass PVP? Making a balance adjustment in that case would not seem arbitrary at all.

We got 30 games but it died as soon as people got 30 on their mains. Only 75 unique participants so far that I saw. Seems to be a preference thing, some people like the slower oly.

I don't think anyone is saying kill Necromancer... but this class is in the top 2 strongest classes in Olympiad and is by far the strongest on mass PVP. How can that not warrant adjustment? Nobody wants their main to get nerfed but there are 30+ other classes who could benefit from bringing them better in line.

It’s kind of crazy how dead the market is, would at least give people something fun to do while saving up for A grade… +8 B sets, try for 16+++ weapon, etc. It won’t displace top gear so I don’t really see a reason to keep it as is (shadow gear with no runes).

Appreciate the color here and I agree with what you’re saying. Would you ever consider adding back raid drops to TI for the lower bosses? The market is pretty limited now to a) legacy +16 top B weapons or b) purely A grade from full drops. I am sure this is pretty discouraging if you are trying to gear up a character and don’t have access to tons of adena.

I think adding fear cooldown to 15+~ seconds for these classes would be a nice change. If you’ve ever played vs 85 DA you will want to uninstall the game and this is post-fear nerfs.

Please fix Lilith field on TI. It’s still very unfun to farm there.

From a PVE perspective archers struggle to compete due to counter critical being so freaking strong for melee. Nothing exists like this for archer.

Happy to make crafting more valuable but please do not add “foundation” crafting. Cancel dagger absolutely ruins Olympiad.

At least make all skills impacted by core/liberate. There is zero counter play to fear…

Personally prefer the flexibility of 2-day Olympiad. There are a lot of weeks when playing one day or the other is difficult.
