Blundebuss PTR "Fixes"

I think that’s a weak point, but it’s your rankings.

It really isnt - scream and grav well are great for big clumps but net shot ruins any sort of skill based pvp (not spamming aoes in clumps). 1 net shot and your enemy is slowed super hard, their stamina regen is pretty much stopped, dodge distance reduced due to the hard slow, and they have a bleed. How is that balanced?? Its 7 seconds of exhaust too :joy: literally stupid

Because half of the time it shoots into the ground, and you can purge the slow with purifying toast.

bump

gotcha, lets make netshot aoe , but it looses half effectiveness :slight_smile:

FIX NETSHOT ALREADY ! the bloody thing hits the floor after a dodge since 6 months COME ON.

We tend to agree that with all the other changes introduced in the PTR and how the Blunderbuss was untouched, it was a bit too strong in some aspects. Because of that we are going to make some changes before the S1 launch:
• Fixing a bug on claw shot cancel windows that was allowing some combos we didn’t want
• Reducing the stamina damage on ASB
• Reducing damage of consecutive pellets for ASB

We’ll also be keeping an eye on the Blunderbuss after release, and make sure these changes are sufficient.

Pointing that out is so unnecessary, its a bug that will eventually get fixed. It is this op by design as the bug is obviously unintentional. Also, it applies at least 3 debuffs, purifying toast clears 1… many people dont even use that perk :joy: maybe you will suggest that i should use stoneform to cleanse the 15 sec cd ability effects? Just so they can use it again?

i do wonder, is infected throw (hatchet) also broken in your opinion? since it exhaustes, weakens and diseases for 10 sec on a 15 sec cd?

Net shot is objectively better than infected throw, let’s not do this :joy:

sure. there are also better abilities then net shot. thats not exactly the point here

I would argue that net shot is probably the best slow in the game tbh.

Okay, I won’t mention the biggest downside to the ability because it will eventually be fixed… When did BB release? Is ice storm still casting at our feet? When did IG get released? :clown_face:

its a 3 sec 40% single target slow
Ice Shower is a 3 sec 50% AoE slow
SnS 3rd Hit from LMB Chain is a 3 sec 30% slow
social distancing is a 5 sec 30% slow that also gives the user 20% haste for 6 sec

idk about best. its basically the only tool the weapon itself has to atleast close distance to someone kiting.

I’ve gauntlet has had multiple abilities completely bugged for almost a year now. Good luck.

im gonna bump this thread daily then. at some point it’ll annoy them enough to react

I have made multiple bug posts, got responses that they are known issues, even got a dev response saying a fix should be in the next update but nothing ever go fixed. The devs even disabled a trait on the BB tree to help fix that problem but I guess not. There are so many combat bugs that have been plaguing the game. I don’t see them getting fixed anytime soon. Sorry

You mean a 7 second(decaying) 50% slow because who doesn’t use apparatus.

Cries in rapier blood tree posts. I don’t think they’ve ever responded to any of them.

Really? Net shot exhausts you twice as hard + slows you which also decreases dodge distance. Nice comparison
