BW's whinefest over changes

was jsut reading the BW forum. some are actually quitting because they took away the BW buff's from the C&C patch. They are whining that they are so weak and powerless against Destro. Its even worse when the rest of the Order side calls them on it and they ignore it completely.

they still think that Destro outnumbers Order by a lot. Yet their own figure postings make it very close to 1:1 ratio. the balance is getting closer daily.

The worst thing is that they are claiming to be the squishiest class in the game and need to be able to take more dmg. I laughed all through the posts. Especially when they start saying that some of the nearly broken classes are OP. Everyone knows that Magus is OP... Of course *sarcastic laugh* and it wasn't demo magi they were talking about. it was changing/havoc. They also mentioned Squig herder. Omg I can't press the "I win" button any more because other RDPS are getting buffed so they are closer to our ungodly range of dmg.

sorry, just thought you would all like to hear about what BW's are claiming.

Crazy, they must be low level players.

actually half of them are T4 and they are the ones complaining the most.

Then that is just stupid. The consensus is not in their favor. =/

The man reason is that as soon as we see a BW we try to kill them as fast as we can because they do so much damage.

the same could be said about magus. Order seems to single magus out as well. It could be the disc or because they think magus= easy kill. but I think its more that a properly specced magus will destroy a BW without much help. Havoc specced in live is awesome. Perils of the warp is a casters bane. just tab through the BW's and healers and reapply. they kill themselves by casting.

Yea, but where Order is targeting a caster-specialized killer, we're forced to target a rounded, balls-to-the-wall nuking monstrosity.

I will post a comment made by Adam Gershowitz, one of the lead developers, on the test forums recently in the Bright Wizard feedback thread:

Hey guys.

I'll take a look into Detonate... We did have a fix in the original 1.0.5 patch notes about fixing the stat contribution on it. However that seemed to have gotten deleted when we put together the 1.0.6 notes.

Aside from that this thread has been VERY heated. I understand why as well, however Bright Wizards by far up and beyond any other career (including Sorc) were the complete reigning kings of damage by an very large margin. We had to bring you down, it wasn't an option to bring everyone else up.

Yes I know this sucks, but at the same time we tried to do it in such a way that you also took less damage (Lower miscast chance). Yes I know this seems like a pitiful bone to throw you for the damage reduction but it was appropriate.

Bringing the damage down will also allow us to go back in the next few patches and balance better between the 3 spec lines. We definately want to take a look at Immolation and Incineration and make them both match up better, but this was somthing we just couldn't do with the overall damage being as high as it was pre 1.0.6

lol babies
they want to stay op and don't like being equal. well ,to bad! just learn to play your toon better , a BW is playing the game in stupid mode, no though, just mash 4 buttons and collect rep/exp bah----
a senerio or wb should not be over half BW and be able to win. and that is what we see all the time hell i dont even know what an elf tank looks like.

I've seen many times (like i'm sure most of you have as well) BW's with well over 300k total damage and very few deaths after a scenario. I mean... you've gotta be kidding me =/

actually from T1-T3 I see mainly BW, SM, IB..an occasional Engi and either Archmage or rune priest..thats about it.

Replace SM with SW and that is pretty much all I see in T1-T2 on PT. :<
