in my opinion the 2 biggest issues with my barb atm is this:
1. activating battlerage no longer feels like a buff, the only difference i see is faster attack speed, dmg is roughly the same, and its not taking any less damage.. in mod 15 sure it was a bit overpowered coz battlerage was like god mode, but the nerf stick hit this too hard. 2. ibs used to hit several mobs if they were lined up perfectly infront of you, which was very useful, now it only hits 1 no matter how you line it up and most cases not the mob you are aiming for!
then of course there's the numerous useless feat choices, at least 3 of the 6 choices are meaningless and 3 def slots for comp passives makes no sense for a dps class (i mean seriously, barb tank is just a dps with more health)
overall dps on barb just feels much too slow and there is no burst damage, sure fighting a boss i can build up my dps as long as i dont get stunned every few seconds, but running from group to group, its slow and low damage.
Please increase the magnetude of the meetings and daily, SW has the smallest magnitude of DPS.
If by meetings you mean encounters if i'm not mistaken ( i might be wrong) the reason the magnitude is low its because warlocks also have the lowest cooldowns of all classes
Like everyone bringing this up here, barbarian feats are horrible! 60% of them are totally useless, some of them only affects 1 specific power, there are only like 1 or 2 decent feats. Feats should affect the whole character, not just 1 power. They should upgrade the class itself rather than specific powers.
Also rage takes too much time to build, we need to swing our sword for 10 seconds to get enough rage, but by the time enemies are already dead. Or make rage more worthy so when we have enough rage we go crazy and wreck everything.
Again, like everyone said, dps paths should have 3 offense companion slots, it should be based on path, not class. Please fix this for barbarians and fighters.
So please give us a feedback about these. We lack communication between players and devs. Please take your players seriously. I hope you read this comment and do some action after you guys confessed that you should have listened to players feedback during preview time.
Creeping Death now properly affects all enemies damaged by the Warlock, rather than just one per cast.
Hunting Hawk's Presence: The tooltip of this player bonus now properly states that it scales by quality, rather than rank. At Legendary quality, it has a maximum of 10% bonus damage.
Equip Bonus:Butcher's Guard. When you damage or heal your target for more than 10% of your Maximum Hit Points in a single blow, you gain 1% Power for 10 sec. (max 10 stacks)

Im not sure you have read anything about Trickster feats then, or Hunter's feats, needless to mention Arbiter feats. Most classes feats are built up around specific encounters or dailies.

exactly, they said in the last stream they are focusing more on "general problems" right now, and will focus on more class specific issues later, but its a general problem across the board, the old feat system allowed for a lot of customization and allowed 2 of any class with the same paragon path to have some differences between them. for many, this was what drew them to the game in the first place, the amazing customization and ability to really make your class feel like its unique.
and along came mod 16, cut us down to 2 paragon paths, and went from 40+ feat choices, to 6! and on top of that, made alot of the feats target single skills instead of boosting the class/paragon path as a whole (which is what the feats were made for in the first place)
they have completely succeeded in removing the customization, now every class is forced to use this or that. we have 8, 9, 10 encounter powers, but feats that target specific skills force us to use those skills if we want to be at least semi decent.
this isnt as small an issue as they make it out to be!
@sekosek#5740 if u speak about GWF feats i agree with u but GF have more usless feats then GWF, and i dont even wanna speak about his class featuers who dont give nothing i hope they change something with GF/GWF bcs they are right now the most un balanced class

Yes, I've looked at every classes feats, and Trickster's has only 1 feat that affects 1 atwill, rest is all class based upgrades. For hunters still most of them are classwide upgrades, yes there are few feats that affect 1 power, but they are atleast useful. Look at barbarians and fighters feats. Most of them are totally useless, they upgrade worthless powers, and even after the upgrade they are still worthless. I am aware that arbiters are also like that, but that path its getting changes, its still on progress. I hope devs make a rework at feats, and maybe in future add more feats. 5 selections are really low to make different builds.
If we give an example what feats should be like, I suggest wizards and rouges atm. They are useful, you can make selection between them based on your build, and they dont just upgrade 1 power.
ok ive tried it now on live since a month and it's not working well for certain things and needs to be approached to not make this new devout thing a disaster and frustrating. Pretty much the same that i had said in test is obvious now in live. Any chance on finally approaching devout and making it more playable, efficient and fun? Divinity is horrible in situations where the boss constantly casts and stuns! and does tons of damage, between praying and getting stuned it's pretty bad gameplay. Impossible to do much and not run out, action also need to be better again, it's all too slow and nerfed for high speed combat. Divinity is also a very annoying mechanic and unpleasent to constantly be praying and a big source of most new playing problems and is not strategic at all but simply an unpleasant wall. The cooldowns on most things are still way too long still to be efficient with certain bosses or even good enaugh, the buffs are still lacking by alot and not efficient enaugh like 3% damage on aa, 30 encounters for the feat etc all too low and cheap, the shield no one uses and like we said is just bad and not really playable! The cleanse needs to be combined with something and not an encounter and not just cleanse 1 for its super expensive divinity cost! it's too low to use also as a heal and then It just takes one encounter spot for nothing for cleansing once in a while so youre just swaping it constantly in and out to be efficient. Something needs to make up for the other heal classes now the stuns combined with the horrible divinity and that annoying constant praying is just not playable with certain situations. Cleric has been striped of too much and added a very bad divinity mechanic. This needs to be approached to make it decent and not frustrating for heavy end game bosses also! You want us to heal as healers and be efficicent then take that horrible divinity out! i guess since it's a "new mechanic" you probably want to keep it... Then look at it please and make it less of a drag and useless mechanic, because it's getting frustrating! Healer cleric is about all i play so i don't really care for the dps tree and would like the 1 tree i play to not be horrible to play like this.
Really good patch overall. Howver, I add myself to the queue of QQers in terms of class balance : it would be nice if a next patch could address some gaps,then adjust little by little. The gameplay is not the only responsible for this mess. You are going to lose more players because of this rather than Saladii previously called Salad!

Maybe SW cooldowns are ones of the lowest, but magnitudes and the additional effects are so meaningless that you cannot compensate even on single target over a longer duration (because of course, low magnitudes don't work on multi given the fight doesn't last long enough); to summarize, our best power (that works at max efficiency when target HP are low) is 80-90% of the best power of some other classes, and our other powers have half this potency (when they are not totally garbage)... And by the way some other classes can reduce they cooldowns by 1 to 3 sec (and if a SW dares to reduce his cooldowns by 1 sec -tab key-, he loses his tab 4.5% damage buff!). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ox7LyefdrhbCHpSIPODpR3x4Zp42EVJ_KK9I7HVyIuM/edit#gid=0
Well, nothing like getting a SNR followed by a disconnect at the last boss in a ME run and ending up in Yawning Portal with a red "ME failure" message popping up... any changes in that department?
If there's no option to let us continue a ME from where we were kicked out, at the very least let us rerun the bloody thing without losing one of those 3 daily ME charges.
@terramak note on "Glorious Enchantment and Greycloak's Insignia now have an item level of 8." -- the game actually incorrectly uses the spelling "graycloak" instead of the lore-accurate spelling "Greycloak" - that's always bugged me
I don't like the need to use injury kits. It's like a waste of time when you are really into what you are doing while in combat. You get hurt or die and need injury kits. It's crazy. I wish it was gone :s

thats why they have VIP, one of the benefits of i think vip 7 is immunity to injuries. Remember at the end of the day its a business and they have to get paid somehow.

Im just going to quote what's in Blur's Trickster guide, hoping he won't mind. "Feat choice is very simple. They are so bad that you could as well not choose any of them and won’t feel any difference."
From your point of view, Trickster's feats are good. From a rogue point of view, trickster's feats are bad. From some people's point of view, barbarians are terrible. From others point of view, barbarians can do decent damage. I personally ran with at least 2 good barbarians, one of them even being able to cover 2 corners during the Mimics phase in LoMM.
Im sure though warlock would love to have an encounter like bloodletter with a magnitude of 1200 feated, which is about same as a daily, given how low is the magnitude of warlock encounters for example. Im sure other dps classes would also love to have 10% more dmg just by overcapping arpen by 2.5k. And im sure an AoE encounter that can proc and refresh a 5-10% additional dmg boost class feature is not bad either, specially if it can be procced again without cooldown.
Don't get me wrong, i can relate to the frustration. I am just trying to understand if the complaint of the barbarian is something a bard could sing in a tavern, or if its a real issue. Let's just hope they will have time to work on classes again. I know it's wishful thinking

Yes barbarians can deal decent damage, but what I'm saying is, feats are useless and not interesting that we can't make different builds or choosing feats doesn't really affect the classes strength. I personally think Rouge feats are decent, atleast they are in a better state than other classes with wizards.
Just to correct, bloodletter goes upto 800, not 1200, and it damages us. So its really situational, it might kill you if you crit with it, its not a risk you would take. As for warlocks, their magnitudes are low, but also their cooldowns. With soul scorch feat, they can cast killing curse like every 7-8 seconds. If you calculate magnitude per second I think they are in a good place.
By the way the feat that you pointed out is one of the 2 feats that worth taking. And I said bad things about 60% of the feats, not all of them.
I also get that everyone is upset with their own class, but it is obvious that barbarians and fighters - and dps clerics - are in a far worse situation than others. This is just what I am saying.

I believe the feat for bloodletter is adding 400 magnitude to it, and as for the dmg i still havent managed to kill myself.
A big reason for barbies losing damage is the total destroyed stamina regen/spent in mod 16. Pressing shift for a half sec and losing a ton of stamina like you are a CW/Cleric shifting is sad.. We have to use our stamina to catch up the teleporting bosses and targets but we can't even do that cause we are perma 0 stamina..Stamina takes 1-1.5 secs to start refilling.. We want to stop being rooted while using an encounter or at-will and we can't even shift to cancel it because it's not working anymore or we are always out of stamina. We press ibs and do not have the ability to cancel it, and leaving us hitting clean fresh air, cause the mob is already 20ft away.. Ibs is a single target now btw. We do not even need buffs or new feats! Just fix our clanky animations our stamina and let us try to dps! If we still can't after this, let's talk about magnitudes and feats!

What? How is it still possible to accept MW Mailsmithing or MW Platesmithing? They were merged into MM Armorsmithing! I finished both (on different toons) but was only able to purchase MW Armorsmithing Recipes 3 on the toon that finished MW Platesmithing. The toon that finished MW Mailsmithing cannot purchase MW Armorsmithing Recipes 3, he is being directex to start the MW Armorsmithing line of tasks (not an acceptable solution to your bug, by the way).
It has also been reported that the inverse is happening also, ie: some could purchase MW Amorsmithing Recipes 3 by the toon that finished MW Mailsmithing but unable to make that purchase by the toon that finished MW Platesming.
Why do you say the dialog for accepting the MW Mailsmithing and/or MW Platesmithing quests are hidden behind other lines of dialog when they don't/shouldn't even exist in the same universe this game exists?!!!!!

I would suspect it comes from how it is coded. Probably taking out the dialog for the old quests would break the questline completely, with how they merged them together, so it is easier and better to just leave it there. That is what happens when a company constantly changes their coders.
> @rickcase276 said: > .... so it is easier and better to just leave it there. ....
Yes, easier for them (ignore it, maybe it will go away).
But it works this way one time but that way another time? Whatever!!!!!!!!!!!

@terramak regarding master craft armorsmithing, what about those of us who are already stuck in limbo. have our recipes been granted to us yet? I contacted support when mod 15 dropped and I had no mc3 recipes and they told me to come here. no one has ever responded to me on this. I'm not the only one affected. I'm on xbox but I know people on all platforms have run into this. I did everything where it should have been unlocked when the mod dropped but it wasn't.
Comments
1. activating battlerage no longer feels like a buff, the only difference i see is faster attack speed, dmg is roughly the same, and its not taking any less damage.. in mod 15 sure it was a bit overpowered coz battlerage was like god mode, but the nerf stick hit this too hard.
2. ibs used to hit several mobs if they were lined up perfectly infront of you, which was very useful, now it only hits 1 no matter how you line it up and most cases not the mob you are aiming for!
then of course there's the numerous useless feat choices, at least 3 of the 6 choices are meaningless
and 3 def slots for comp passives makes no sense for a dps class (i mean seriously, barb tank is just a dps with more health)
overall dps on barb just feels much too slow and there is no burst damage, sure fighting a boss i can build up my dps as long as i dont get stunned every few seconds, but running from group to group, its slow and low damage.
Also rage takes too much time to build, we need to swing our sword for 10 seconds to get enough rage, but by the time enemies are already dead. Or make rage more worthy so when we have enough rage we go crazy and wreck everything.
Again, like everyone said, dps paths should have 3 offense companion slots, it should be based on path, not class. Please fix this for barbarians and fighters.
So please give us a feedback about these. We lack communication between players and devs. Please take your players seriously.
I hope you read this comment and do some action after you guys confessed that you should have listened to players feedback during preview time.
Thanks.

Most classes feats are built up around specific encounters or dailies.
exactly, they said in the last stream they are focusing more on "general problems" right now, and will focus on more class specific issues later, but its a general problem across the board, the old feat system allowed for a lot of customization and allowed 2 of any class with the same paragon path to have some differences between them. for many, this was what drew them to the game in the first place, the amazing customization and ability to really make your class feel like its unique.
and along came mod 16, cut us down to 2 paragon paths, and went from 40+ feat choices, to 6! and on top of that, made alot of the feats target single skills instead of boosting the class/paragon path as a whole (which is what the feats were made for in the first place)
they have completely succeeded in removing the customization, now every class is forced to use this or that. we have 8, 9, 10 encounter powers, but feats that target specific skills force us to use those skills if we want to be at least semi decent.
this isnt as small an issue as they make it out to be!
Look at barbarians and fighters feats. Most of them are totally useless, they upgrade worthless powers, and even after the upgrade they are still worthless. I am aware that arbiters are also like that, but that path its getting changes, its still on progress. I hope devs make a rework at feats, and maybe in future add more feats. 5 selections are really low to make different builds.
If we give an example what feats should be like, I suggest wizards and rouges atm. They are useful, you can make selection between them based on your build, and they dont just upgrade 1 power.
Pretty much the same that i had said in test is obvious now in live.
Any chance on finally approaching devout and making it more playable, efficient and fun?
Divinity is horrible in situations where the boss constantly casts and stuns! and does tons of damage, between praying and getting stuned it's pretty bad gameplay.
Impossible to do much and not run out, action also need to be better again, it's all too slow and nerfed for high speed combat.
Divinity is also a very annoying mechanic and unpleasent to constantly be praying and a big source of most new playing problems and is not strategic at all but simply an unpleasant wall.
The cooldowns on most things are still way too long still to be efficient with certain bosses or even good enaugh,
the buffs are still lacking by alot and not efficient enaugh like 3% damage on aa, 30 encounters for the feat etc all too low and cheap, the shield no one uses and like we said is just bad and not really playable!
The cleanse needs to be combined with something and not an encounter and not just cleanse 1 for its super expensive divinity cost! it's too low to use also as a heal and then It just takes one encounter spot for nothing for cleansing once in a while so youre just swaping it constantly in and out to be efficient.
Something needs to make up for the other heal classes now the stuns combined with the horrible divinity and that annoying constant praying is just not playable with certain situations.
Cleric has been striped of too much and added a very bad divinity mechanic.
This needs to be approached to make it decent and not frustrating for heavy end game bosses also!
You want us to heal as healers and be efficicent then take that horrible divinity out! i guess since it's a "new mechanic" you probably want to keep it...
Then look at it please and make it less of a drag and useless mechanic, because it's getting frustrating!
Healer cleric is about all i play so i don't really care for the dps tree and would like the 1 tree i play to not be horrible to play like this.
Howver, I add myself to the queue of QQers in terms of class balance : it would be nice if a next patch could address some gaps,then adjust little by little.
The gameplay is not the only responsible for this mess.
You are going to lose more players because of this rather than Saladii previously called Salad!
And by the way some other classes can reduce they cooldowns by 1 to 3 sec (and if a SW dares to reduce his cooldowns by 1 sec -tab key-, he loses his tab 4.5% damage buff!).

still you didnt patch with the 31/5 one.
From your point of view, Trickster's feats are good. From a rogue point of view, trickster's feats are bad. From some people's point of view, barbarians are terrible. From others point of view, barbarians can do decent damage. I personally ran with at least 2 good barbarians, one of them even being able to cover 2 corners during the Mimics phase in LoMM.
Im sure though warlock would love to have an encounter like bloodletter with a magnitude of 1200 feated, which is about same as a daily, given how low is the magnitude of warlock encounters for example.
Im sure other dps classes would also love to have 10% more dmg just by overcapping arpen by 2.5k. And im sure an AoE encounter that can proc and refresh a 5-10% additional dmg boost class feature is not bad either, specially if it can be procced again without cooldown.
Don't get me wrong, i can relate to the frustration. I am just trying to understand if the complaint of the barbarian is something a bard could sing in a tavern, or if its a real issue.
Let's just hope they will have time to work on classes again. I know it's wishful thinking

Terramak I love you!
This is the best news since christmas!
.. edited.. wtf teneberous cap... we cant be friends...
Just to correct, bloodletter goes upto 800, not 1200, and it damages us. So its really situational, it might kill you if you crit with it, its not a risk you would take. As for warlocks, their magnitudes are low, but also their cooldowns. With soul scorch feat, they can cast killing curse like every 7-8 seconds. If you calculate magnitude per second I think they are in a good place.
By the way the feat that you pointed out is one of the 2 feats that worth taking. And I said bad things about 60% of the feats, not all of them.
I also get that everyone is upset with their own class, but it is obvious that barbarians and fighters - and dps clerics - are in a far worse situation than others. This is just what I am saying.
I agree that we can just do nothing but hope, because we are not getting any feedback about our comments, we don't even know if they read these comments...
Pressing shift for a half sec and losing a ton of stamina like you are a CW/Cleric shifting is sad..
We have to use our stamina to catch up the teleporting bosses and targets but we can't even do that cause we are perma 0 stamina..Stamina takes 1-1.5 secs to start refilling..
We want to stop being rooted while using an encounter or at-will and we can't even shift to cancel it because it's not working anymore or we are always out of stamina.
We press ibs and do not have the ability to cancel it, and leaving us hitting clean fresh air, cause the mob is already 20ft away.. Ibs is a single target now btw.
We do not even need buffs or new feats! Just fix our clanky animations our stamina and let us try to dps! If we still can't after this, let's talk about magnitudes and feats!
Sry for my bad english guys.
Best

> Masterwork Professions
> * The first Masterwork Mailsmithing quest is now buried behind dialog options, so players are less likely to accidentally accept both it and the Masterwork Platesmithing quest at the same time. This is so that players can still accept it in case they want to, but don't spend more resources than necessary to unlock Armorsmithing recipes.
>
What? How is it still possible to accept MW Mailsmithing or MW Platesmithing? They were merged into MM Armorsmithing! I finished both (on different toons) but was only able to purchase MW Armorsmithing Recipes 3 on the toon that finished MW Platesmithing. The toon that finished MW Mailsmithing cannot purchase MW Armorsmithing Recipes 3, he is being directex to start the MW Armorsmithing line of tasks (not an acceptable solution to your bug, by the way).
It has also been reported that the inverse is happening also, ie: some could purchase MW Amorsmithing Recipes 3 by the toon that finished MW Mailsmithing but unable to make that purchase by the toon that finished MW Platesming.
Why do you say the dialog for accepting the MW Mailsmithing and/or MW Platesmithing quests are hidden behind other lines of dialog when they don't/shouldn't even exist in the same universe this game exists?!!!!!

Yes, easier for them (ignore it, maybe it will go away).

@terramak regarding master craft armorsmithing, what about those of us who are already stuck in limbo. have our recipes been granted to us yet? I contacted support when mod 15 dropped and I had no mc3 recipes and they told me to come here. no one has ever responded to me on this. I'm not the only one affected. I'm on xbox but I know people on all platforms have run into this. I did everything where it should have been unlocked when the mod dropped but it wasn't.
