Instead of: When you damage an enemy, there is a chance you become Fortified, which increases your defense by 5% and adds your Defense to your Power, to a max of 30% increase of your total Power
It is now: When you use an encounter power, you become fortified, which increases your defense by 5% and adds 15% of your defense to your power for 10 seconds.
Nothing in mod 11 I'm looking forward to now. I can skip it altogether if I so choose.

Not all of us have 16,600 defense like you to get a 2500 power boost. With my stronghold boon, I have 11,235 defense and will only see an increase in power of 1,685. And the way power works, the more you have the less effective it is. With my power currently at 39,711 the additional power will not boost my damage by 4% like you might expect.
If I'm in a party with a cleric or paladin and my power gets boosted, the additional 1,685 power I get from the Firesoul weapons will be barely noticeable.
In order to be on par with the Relic weapon's pure 10% damage increase, I would need to get a boost in power of approximately 6,000 - 7,000. Even if the Firesoul weapons added 50% instead of 15% of my defense to my power, they would still be inferior.
The weapons are not worth the grind to obtain them. I'll just stick with my Epic mod 10.5 relic weapons and like I said. Skip mod 11.

very poopie
Guess they listened too much to the loud screams of the vocal minority...
the Relic weapon owners cried too loud eh lol, man this is really disappointing,
was planning to come back to NW with M11But it seems that I have to skip it now,
well..Cya

@etelgrin lol
just put R12 and thats it lol, don't be ridiculous.
I would understand if they were upset about their items created last mod being nerfed, but calling for new items to be nerfed is just not cool.
(Think about who is upset here and who this change will really hurt)
You grinded for relic weapons? keep them so you dont have to grind now.
You skipped the grind (and money) of relic weapons? grind (less) for the new ones and you are on par.
People have to complain about everything there are other things more critical to complain about

Far as I'm concerned this will save me time and money and will cost Cryptic.
Please don't just look at the game from you and your own cliques' biases.... this game has always needed DIVERSITY.. in people and content. We've had diversity in types of players.. recently and hopefully continuing into the future... maybe the devs will continue to include diversity in content.. and I don't just mean new dungeons.. I mean paths of progression...
The old Firesoul bonus was good for the game ONLY in the marketing aspect of the game. Fast, Easy, New Weapons that you could (had to) get to be BiS... (let me get my Credit Card).
The new set bonuses makes it to where Firesoul doesn't replace Relic.. it still leaves Esva and Somi as relevant content in game. It still leaves people that have invested in those weapons about half a mod ago with RIGHTFULLY earned progress in game for a respectable amount of time.

OMG, they might ACTUALLY get it right... aligning their intent with what actually happens in game... That would be a RARE occurance.

What that means is that the new weapons cannot be at the same level as relics.
Now, this basically means that the game goes this way:
"grind your life out of the game to earn some advantage that will allow you to dominate other players. If you do so, we will prevent normal players to get a chance to get to your level"
If you want to, basically, create a huge farming wall that separates those who want to farm 140 hours of BHEs from 99% of the players base, to make them feel like some kind of "elite", get prepared to see what we saw in module 10-10.5: people skipping content, people feeling like they don't want to either farm like slaves or play a game where they can't really compete unless they farm like slaves.
Farming must be reasonable. 140 hours running around to farm BHEs is NOT reasonable for 99% of the playerbase. It is for 1% of the players.
Also: playing a game should be fun. The moment you feel like you "worked" to get an advantage and don't want it to vanish, is simply a sign that you didn't "play" the game. You "worked" the game. Getting the weapons should've been "fun" it was not, or we wouldn't have so many nerd complaining about how they "got to work hard" to get the weapons and want the "advantage" to last more.
As you said, many people didn't want to play SKT farming, and they didn't stop those who wanted to farm, from doing it.
But in return, those who decided to take on the insane farming, now want to prevent the other players from getting strong weapons with different farming times, that are more acceptable.
In few words, you want the game to adapt to what the 1% of the players want, giving you what you wanted, but then you don't want the rest of the players to get something that fits their taste more (weapons that require less grinding).
Sadly, that 1% spend probably more $$$ in the game, so the devs don't want to anger them--->ok guys, we will push back the progression for normal players, so you can be happy and feel "elite" for longer.
In few words, even if new weapons were at the same level as relics, you should still:
- think that you got fun getting them (if you didn't then you didn't "play" the game but worked it like a job. Your fault).
- think that you still got 1-2 months where your damage was 30% higer than that of 99% of the players
- think that even with new weapons, relic sets are good for any class/ build, while new sets are good only for a specific class or build (for example, firesoul set being BiS only for fighters with high defense stat).
What you want is, instead, the game progression to "alt" because well, you think that your "hard work" deserves more time to enjoy your "advantage/ overgearness".
It's very shortsighted. I'd happily accept if the devs decided to give mod 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 boons for half the cost, to new players. Because it means more people playing, getting strong and competing.
You, instead, whould whine because you "worked hard to get the advantage" and don't want other players to get at your level later.
"Aligning their intent with what actually happens in game". Yeah. For example, when 99% of the players skip the new weapons because of the farming needed, they might step back from the farming madness. But wait...the 1% who farmed like slaves will get angry.
So the devs must "align" with that 1% of players. Sounds legit.
