    It feels like such a waste to have my Perfect Barkshield in the bank because it has become useless.

    When will the cycles of the-one-and-only-true-enchantment-for-this-release ever end?

    Got a fireburst simply because it looks good. 2200 damage every 30 seconds at level 70.

    And barkshield should function like the CW's shield. 75% damage absorbed at full stack, 50% 2nd, 25% for last one.

    Buff? I'm all for it.

    ...and while we're at it, double the potions' worth, too. All this health bottlenecking is ludicruously harder on the less geared, whereas the high geared just shrug it off by switching from R10+ Radiant to Dark in one or two slots. Meh...

    And then another two months to fix what they broke when they tried fixing what they broke in Mod6, rinse, repeat. Thus, the vicious circle of "dynamic" gameplay....

    Why should it be buffed? It was useful in mod 5, now it's useless. Deal with it, grab another enchantment. Soulforged or FOTM negation.
    It took a lot of money and effort to upgrade it to perfect, so it MUST be useful? No, it must not.

    Im quite sure they wont make it any good, because everybody has one already which means players wont have to spend money on coal wards and RP.


    Basically, the idea is to have old enchants being weaker while new are more powerful, so players have to keep grinding or spend $ to skip it.


    Barkshield is still quite useful in pvp imo, at least for it's price.

    Neve.

    Making a mostly unused enchant BiS and depowering the more popular ones is useful to keep players in need of new enchants each module. You got Psoulforged? Great. Now it costs a bit less and BiS is TNegation at a much higher cost. So you don't just upgrade your enchant, but need to buy/make a new one.

    For BiS players, no biggie. But the regulars who need to spend a lot to switch to negation or they get wrecked? With negation prices skyrocketed beforehand, and AD sources cut a lot? Pay plz. Or get wrecked.

    I'm not a sheep and i dislike negation look from the bottom of my heart, so i sticked to my old soulforged+ lathander set.

    Every module, new BiS stuff means you should switch, sell your old enchant for less ad than you will spend for the new one.
    Else, in module 6 players would just upgrade some enchant, refine new armors and artifact equipment.
    Instead, go for lostamauth set, negation exc...
