How Bonk feels reading the change to Lostmauths set
https://youtu.be/DuKQVIbX_nk To be serious, I do think this is a good fix. It will effect so much, with such a small change, I hope, think, it will improve the feel of the game for all of us. So yes, it's jokes with a tiny hint of truth xD

Let me be clear, no one needs this set as is. Never have. The fact that it went on for so long with no word on it from Cryptic is one gigantic... Well, you get my drift.
They purposefully inject imbalance into the game; in weapons, artifacts and augments, classes.
Then change their mind after you've spend time/$/RP into it. i.e Scourge Warlock. Now the OPs are totally up in arms.
It's like every move this game makes is damage control from a previous mistake and it's tiresome.
Now it is possible to start offer new sets within efficiency range of nerfed LM (worst) and old LM (best). Also it is possible to detach obtaining best things from ELOL (top farming place in game) and put new attractive things entirely in lockbox (like Dread).

Consider the long list of bugs in everything they release I see this just as one more example of their lack of proper planning and testing.
My GWF has 4100+IL, 30k power. Radiant 12's in all offense slots and azure 12's in the defense and profane 10's/11 on my augment. My gear gives me 16.5k crit for a 65% crit chance which buffs to 80%+ chance. So i crit a lot and have the damage bonus from the power.
And while running with no effect from the lostmauth set my DPS was just fine. Hitting for huge numbers and still on top of the paingiver ( If you care about that ). So from what i saw yesterday if your a high DPS toon while using the set you still will be after the fix. And if you choose another set to use instead you'll still be high DPS.
Whether you welcome this change or not you will be fine after the fix takes effect.

if they nerfed it, then make them more accessable when looting, many had tried and got craps for over 20 runs, i am sick of getting Breyer Books!
Devs, please remove the Books!, they should be in T-bar merchant. because why? they are no destroy and no sell, and forcing some players to make a throw-away alts that will be deleted just to rid of it. yes, YOU (devs) Heard Me! players are fed up with your reward designs.
twoanother shall take its place.I mean we all said a few hours after CN was done a few dozen times.. what the load of HAMSTER is the rewards here.. + new artifact is too iffy vs lostmouth builds.
soooooo.. make new content more relevant by nerfing old.. like I said, im sure its PART of the reasoning.
oh well.
(cn rewards are still HAMSTER by the way.. with most runs netting you nothing more then 1 or 2 salvage blue pieces and some seals.. all of which can be done with 30%-40% less time in elol runs)
you may get lucky and get a few Actual worthwhile r8s to take.. but they are so rare .. meh.
But @rescorlian, I really did enjoy your expression of the nerf. It was very well done and i'm pretty sure that's how most will feel by the loss of there DPS when/if the nerf goes through.
Thank You!

You had your fun using a cheesy overpowered set. It's over now and everyone and their mother knew it would come. Heck we said it two years (or so ) ago, when the set came out. We thought they would have fixed this stupid bug month ago. They didn't, but what else do you expect from devs not knowing what they are doing...

and about the elol set. I'm not saying they aren't overnerfing it (cuz someone on preview checked and confirmed the set was ineffective vs a boss, meaning did 0 dmg against the boss) but it was overpowered compared to the other artefacts. was long due a nerf...
the game is progressing and items, artefacts are changing, there will be new sets. and u can use ur current artefacts to refine new ones, hopefully more powerful ones. you only need to be willing to work for it which means u have to play the game obviously...
I am not really assigning blame as much as ceding that this is emblematic of the game. Ceveat Emptor because the game will absolutely cash in on your nature and then leave you out in the cold and when it does it will be all your fault.
Welcome to Neverwinter
And this is a good life lesson.. don't whine when you reap the rewards for exploiting a whole in a system. I have like 5 toons with the lostie set to epic/legendary. I knew (hoped) it would get nerfed. I'm thankful i got to use it for as long as I did. I see it as I'm only losing something I probably never should have had in the first place. AND I'm actually excited that the other classes will be more useful in game... CW and TR in particular. GWF (the one that most benefited from Lostie had ALWAYS been a boring class for me. Good thing that my other dpsers will be more viable alternatives now. .
RIP OP and GWF dominance. Long live class diversity .
