Knight Captain Set Nerf

arinathos

So with the upcoming Icewind Dale Mod 3 expansion, we're getting a rework of the power stat, AND a nerf to the Knight Captain bonus down to 15% (down from 60%). Is there any word from developers or people on the preview shard whether the changes cancel each other out and the KC set will still make GFs semi-viable, or is this yet another nail in the coffin for GFs?

The patch was delayed being placed on preview due to the connection issues yesterday. So, no players can test it right now until sometime next week.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

First it was my Stalwart Set, now it's the Knight Captain set, which if I recall, doesn't even give the wearer a power or defense buff... just the other party members.

I'm hoping that the power rework offsets the percentage reduction of KC, but if it doesn't, there really is no reason why a GF is an asset in PvE over other classes...

I wonder why they nerf the KC set reasoning the new Powerscaling but leaving the Avatar of War set giving 1350 power and recovery. And what happens to the TR's set giving them 350 power and recovery x3... all those sets seem to stay the same, so why is that they nerf only the KC???
