Companions
  • Companions with Combat Advantage active companion bonuses (Blink Dog, Staldorf, Intellect Devourer) have had these powers changed to combine additively rather than multiplicatively. As such, players using these may notice slight reductions in the combat advantage bonus provided by these powers.

    So now we'll have to move toward fire and Air Archons, siege master, Wild Hunt Rider... Every CW will be the same.

    Also wonder, does this hurt Renegade enough to push more players toward Thaumaturge?

    I am not quite sure what the change exactly is. If it is 1.05^3 to 1.15, the difference is quite small.

    Fair enough. I'll wait until we can figure out what the actual impact is before I say it sucks.

    HOW a companion must be related to a class seriously.LIST the classes with the highest severity. GWF-tr. BOTH have combat advantage almost permanent and the highest severity. BUT no is cw conspiracy when changing an item.

    P.S. if BOO get hair will be cw inderectly nerfed.

    @mamalion1234 So this change, in your opinion, doesn't affect the CW at all?

    All CA pets were considered BiS for a CW, so therefore, it is an indirect nerf to the class, posted in the class' own forums. I am not going to call the topic "GWF indirect nerfs". Go away, troll.

    Slightly off topic, but does the new mount ensignia bonus that gives 5% combat advantage damage to controlled mobs also trigger combat advantage, or do you have to have combat advantage AND have the mob controlled to get the 5%?

    This is what I have asked them to clarify. If it is simply changing that, then it is quite small. However, if it is now adding to CA from the stat, then the bonus may be meaningless now.

    I am posting a topic in the CW section, talking to the CW community, about a change that affected the CW class. How else am I supposed to phrase this, so you understand? Noone ever said that this is a CW only nerf. The topic has "INDIRECT" in its title. This automatically means that this change happened due to a change that wasn't specifically directed towards the CW class.

    Why am I even answering to you?

    If it's so small, WHY change it?

    That's what most of the changes they're making are. Small changes that don't matter : :smile:

    It's kind of funny because people always say that they'd rather Cryptic fix things instead of releasing new content, then they fix something and OMG WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT STOP.

    I saw theFabricant question and wait for the response. Seems the future of CA companions hinges on it...

    I'll wait for fabricant's response to it as well.

    Maths too stronk for me.

    But from a glance, and with my limited knowledge about how that formula works, It does seem like a large change to it. Glad I've been too broke to rank up my CA buddies.

    This is a CW topic!
    If you want to read news in connection with GWFs and TRs I strongly suggest visiting their topics! Thanks!

    THEY are still good vs flat damage companions ofcourse if you have always combat advantage.

    Why do you assume that anyone says otherwise? Also, how do you know if that's really the case? Have you tested the unreleased changes yet? Also, how does this argument invalidate the fact that it's an indirect nerf, however small the nerf may be? What right do you have to come here and complain about us sharing information with each other?

    If you have developed some form of hatred towards certain players who play the CW, or even the CW itself, why are you here then? You are free to ignore threads, don't have to comment everywhere you don't want to.

    romo i do not attack forum users especially when i dont have arguments. you are coming here and you say : have you tested the unreleased changes yet? GO again to preview first build and see : Patch notes coming at a later date, but our first Preview build is up, running, and ready to play! IN that build they include and the ca change and you are still waiting a dev to give you answer have a good day.
