What is the Arc Client?

Don't upgrade Plague Fire to Transcendant (total waste).

I did a solo Phantasmal Fortress run after upgrading my pure plague fire to transcendent. The interesting things from the ACT parse: the aoe attack activated 57 times during the run for a total of 4369 points of damage..... I was running with plenty of arp, buffs & debuffs (average effectiveness of 132% for the AOE). So don't waste RP/GMOPS/C. Wards on this update.

It's beyond pathetic.

    Thanks for the warning.

    Just upgraded mine, and yes, the AOE attack was really pathetic.

    Just one of many many enchants that are completely broken. Like briartwine, could be so good if it actually worked, or Feytouched which has broken cooldowns for CWs. I've alerted the devs through all the normal channels about many of these but its fallen on deaf ears, must be too busy coming up with the next round of game killing nerfs to actually fix things.

    bleh, yet another thing to not bother upgrading.

    Like virtually every other aspect of this game it is poorly thought out and functioning improperly. It seems the devs can either give us extremely overpowered or extremely underpowered or "does nothing at all" as the only options. I am sorry to be harsh but this game is so screwed up at the moment that I will no longer make excuses for the completely poor quality.

    I upgraded flaming to trans. I don't see anything happening...

    And the DoT isn't even working correctly anyway, it's doing way less that it should be doing.

    I agree... I Also Upgraded My Plague fire To trans... THE AOe Hits ABOUT 45 Damage OR Less. ... waste... hope they buff the aoe

    totally worth the 5 GMoP. Soon to be 5 SMoP.... Yup, so worth the price......

    Glad I've dragged my feet on upgrading to Pure. It really didn't seem like it was worth a half million AD.

    mm I have the Greater plague fire still, I was considering trying to get it to Perfect. Ya'll said trans is out of the question. How is perfect or pure gpf ;o

    Just going to save my ADs. Wanted pure fireburst but it proly just does 50 damage per second for 3 seconds lol.

    Nice balance, you get the choice of auto-revive, 30% DR, or.... a tickle of damage that could only kill enemies in the blacklake district.

    Perfect Plague is very good. Pure doesn't sound so good to me.

    I wish this post had been up a few days ago. I just upgraded my plaguefire.
  • oliboypholiboyph Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 627 Arc User
    I'm just holding on the hope that devs will try to fix it and it becomes OP.

    I have a trans and can see some improvement. Every little bit helps, but its not enough for the money.
  • kieranmtornkieranmtorn Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 382 Arc User
    Do a run with an ACT parse. It's an embarrassingly bad upgrade.

    I posted results of my testing of a few of the bugged enchants in the PC bugs section, but as the game is a bit of a bug problem it was several pages back. It's been bumped now as they have been broken for a very long time and I doubt cryptic has them on their to do list.

    There was a time (pre mod 6) when your stats mattered. My Cleric is so full of buffs/debuffs, stat stacking etc from my items, and companions, but I truly feel like they dont have much effect due to all the hidden "balancing" in the game and the new stat curve. I'm not even talking about things that are bugged.

    So, now that I have come back to the game...I just play it and I dont put any more effort into trying to get everything to maximum. I joined a guild yesterday and had fun doing stronghold stuff.

    I have finally let go of all the rage I had when they nerfed the Dragon Hoard Enchants and other such things.
    Its more fun that way now.

    no rage, just a warning to those who bother to read the forums...
