    Does that mean it will deal more then it did before? Or will it do less damage now?

    Just trying to clarify, thanks! :)

    So let me get this straight. You are basically nerfing dex for every other class except TR while boosting their dmg at the same time? <3 the fairness. * I get my info from guild testing these changes in PTR*

    This is a bug fix. When module 5 launched, the changes to DEX to give more deflect to TR's gave more deflect to EVERYONE. Or basically something to that effect.

    It's not a bug. The power, feat, and boon all work correctly together exactly as worded. It's bad gameplay design, but gameplay designs take longer than mere bugs. Be patient, and avoid Tiamat until it gets resolved. :)

    LOL I am glad I wasn't the only one that saw that! :rolleyes: TR's are just for players that don't really pvp, so they perma stealth and now better dmg dealt! Lame if you want actual pvp you don't hide the whole time you do battle! Hiding and hitting is a @#$%!'s way of pvp cuz you dont know how to really play your char! LoL jus my thoughts ;)

    Cool story brah....

    Nice to seen executioner capstone SoD fixed. Hopefully the fix doesn't result in improper stacking as it did before though :P.

    I know it was a bug, but it was a nice bonus for damage dampening against the burst tr's got and apparently are adding to.

    the dex is not being nerfed, you should not of had that bonus deflect in the first place. There is no boost to TR dps more so fixing a bug where their dps was not working as planned with the executioner cap feat not being powered up from the first hit in stealth.

    so they fix a bug and are now nerfing classes? Do you only play to exploit or something? Please read patch notes carefully before jumping to conclusions. The Devs are just trying to fix what they broke when they first introduced changes.

    I agree I think at this point they should either actually fix it or give us all options to unbind and delevel them so we can sell out medics. (none of this seems like it'll happen though)

    Seriously dude...

    We are not getting "added damage". Shadow of the Demise was broke on release and was going way overboard on damage... they patched it and when they did... it does like "60" damage...

    Now they are re-fixing it to do what the feat is supposed to do. Also Shadow of the Demise isn't "burst"... geez. Its the capstone... what do you want them to do... remove it?

    • Draconic Heralds: The time limit for this Heroic Encounter has been decreased to 10 minutes and the dragons all have increased health and damage.

    I look forward to the increased health pool of the dragons so they don't get zerged in 30 seconds. Maybe they will last 40 seconds now?

    Not sure about the reduced timer of 15 minutes down to 10 minutes to kill them all. I can see where it may lock out other zerg groups from taking out another map. Though the population whinning will probably go from "we kill dragons too fast and farm too much of them to we can't kill them fast enough and now we can't farm belts".

    Most likely it's from the well known Fey Thistle boon bug. It makes your toon go into spastic combat stances. Or HR's only have to hit tab to stay in melee combat stance without combat.

    It's funny how this used to be about GWF's, then HR's then CW's now TR's.. As long as these people's class that they play isnt the one on top they will complain about what ever class is on top.

    It's Human nature to complain when they aren't ahead of everyone else. I play a TR myself, was my very 1st character in NW. I am happy to see we are finally contenders in PVE on damage charts as well as PVP areas. I do not play a Perma stealth though. I also play a CW, GWF and 1 of each of the other classes and they all seem to have their strength and weaknesses.

    Instead of trying to get your classes on top by getting other classes nerf'd, Learn your class, Play other classes to learn how the abilities work and therefore learning how to avoid the best you can.

    This will be fun, dragons doing more damage, but no fix for the DC bug. I hope people enjoy being one-shotted by red that they can't see, during massive framerate drops. (I'd happily lose the ability to do OTT DPS on my healy DC, for the ability to use Astral Seal again in my chosen spec without dragging everyone down to less than one frame per second :D)

    (Go on, prove me wrong, make the single biggest issue in the game right now a ninja fix after all, would be amusing..)
