Sudden rings on companions! too powerful..

owlcat

Please make the companions able to only use the companion's gear/rings.

Sudden rings are ridiculous on companions with Bonding Runestones.

Please fix this.

Yes they are. 4000*3*2.8 extra power is completely overkill for the kind of easy content we have right now.

I can understand your wish to make Sudden rings not work with Bonding Runestones but why extend this to only allowing companions to use companion specific gear and rings ? These items are hard to obtain as they are only obtainable through playing the SCA Epic Dungeons on the Gateway, random drops from SH Heroic Encounters or even more random drops from Lockboxes. While I personally enjoy playing the SCA Dungeons, not everyone does. SH HEs are restricted to players who are members of Guilds, so solo players have no access to them at all. Lockbox drops are simply too rare to be considered by most people. Limiting companions to only using companion specific gear would be a major problem for an awful lot of players, so I can see no good reason for introducing it.

In the end, they do not matter though. Most players melt things instantly not even using a pet with ring slots. The UD rings have cooldowns anyway. So, this is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Except that the cooldown doesn't apply to companions. So some players do have a permanent 33600 extra power buff from their pets. That's not counting what they put in their offensive slots.

That's PC discussion, isn't it?

Well I personally don't like that such a "feature" exists in the game.
But I use it.

It may be a time to ask for a "New Life" like lockbox with easiest access to companion gear.

The main key of the "Underdark Rings" - that's BtA.

It's quick and easy to swap between accounts.

Can a pet get 1350 from the rising rings?
To get 1350, it means it proc 10 times in 4 seconds. Can the pet proc that fast?

@plasticbat
DoT powers

Ring of sudden deflect is also fun on the companion.

frozenfirevr

Why in 4 secs? O.o

ajlir

owlcat

If only those dudes who kept making threads about it wouldn't do that and thus spread the word more...

Kind of a Catch 22, there.

Everyone has been using these rings for a long time, the only companion you'll see people using is the fire archon, it's not a secret, since everyone knew about it and has been using it.

if nobody says anything about this problem then it won't get fixed..

Didn't people talk about how much bubbledins ruined the game all the time? It only took them, what...a year to nerf?

Well, better late than never.

I want them to notice how much of a problem this has became, since everyone is keeping quiet about it here.

It wasn't this bad until recently, 90% of the people I play with seem to be using them, which is why I created this thread.

It's getting out of hand..

There's probably a good chance they will nerf bonding runestones instead of the gear. It'll probably be a similar approach to how they addressed the indomitable runestones, where only the highest rank enchant gives the bonus, thus only making it viable to use one instead of three.

Serene Runestone, Indomitable Runestone - oh, I thought they completely forgot about them. They should remove it from the game.

>making it viable to use one instead of three
make Empowered viable? +700 power stat.

(840-700)*2*0,95 = 0,665% power dmg loss...

They should remove Empowered as well.
