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 maybe you will suggest that i should use stoneform to cleanse the 15 sec cd ability effects? Just so they can use it again?
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?
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 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
30% vs 50% exthaust. not quite twice since that was already nerfed in ptr.
dissease and weaken are 2 very strong debuffs vs 1 slow debuff. also longer durations on everything.
maybe you will suggest that i should use stoneform to cleanse the 15 sec cd ability effects? Just so they can use it again?
