Fire Staff + Ice Gauntlet is now a dead build, thanks AGS!

Oh yeah here’s a new addition to the Ice Gaunt bugs:

Heavy attacks also dont root in ice storm

RIP any build that’s not melee lmao

Dont need to balance anything when you just force everyone to run axe/hatchet :slight_smile:

You’re not very smart are you?

They fixed EXPLOITS with the ice gauntlet weapon switching wehich was making it more powerful than intended.

This in turn will fix the lag, because exploits meta kids like you won’t use it anymore.

This one is a fix that’s real.

The fix is for an exploit that allowed ice gauntlet to do more damage than intended when casting + immediately switching to fire staff. You were supposed to have to keep your ice gauntlet up for the duration of all of your abilities.

As a result of this fix, the ice gauntlet will be returned to its INTENDED power level, and therefore fewer meta newbs will spam it, thus reducing the lag.

So what do you mean, in the name of balance they just want you to cast Ice storm and eat crisps for entire duration because if you do something more like light attack, weapon switch, effect disseapers immediately, lol, so dynamic combat it is! They should hire you to make this game even more shitty than it is right now, dunno if it’s possible to beat that level but seems like they are trying to reach another level every week

However fire staff greataxe welcomed you to the fold. Also if you want to still cause war lag just swap to hammer as if does it far better than stacking ice gauntlets ever did

I am bit scared to mention that “root in place” if you heavy attack while enemy is in a ice storm…is not actually rooting anymore…

Good job amazon. Now buff musket and i’ll be a happy camper

Just because AGS servers are trash doesn’t mean everyone using Ice Gauntlet is trying to lag it in war lmao.

Think about it like this, AGS essentially bricked the Ice Gaunt and nerfed LS heals AoE in order to fix “lag performance” yet multiple people have already reported post patch that war lag is worse than before.

So that means Ice Gaunt wasn’t even the culprit, neither was the AoE or the LS.

I just uninstalled.

There’s no pvp, there’s nothing to do passed lvl 55, and now they just nerfed the only 2 weapon I liked in this game.

See ya

Don’t worry dude, you can run the braindead Great Axe Hammer combo and get Resil faction gear like every other mouthbreather, apparently that’s what AGS wants everyone to do considering they made ranged weps have dog DPS and now they just killed off the magic ones lmao

Ice fire is my main weapon. Now I’m using dual machine gun fire staff. lol. Exploit is AGS favorite patch

Oh no!

My completely broken and overpowered build got scaled back to baseline with other weapons that aren’t fundamentally broken?

No one feels bad for you.

Ice Gaunt isn’t back to baseline, it’s actually just broken completely. No one will run it, and same goes for FS since they messed up on the Flame Pillar and considering every other ability besides fireball is basically useless.

Having horrible patches that break weapons like this will force more people to run the same melee and Resil bugged build which makes the game boring af and will make people leave due to a lack of combat options.

Musket and bow used to be extremely OP, but they were hard nerfed before launch.

Magic was also nerfed, but not as much. Now it is unplayable.

@AGS - why put weapons in the game you don’t want players to actually use? Apparently you just want GA, Hammer, and Hatchet.

Btw, there is now a new bug where GA players can zoom around at super speed.

Yeah you can tell the bias in AGS tbh, they clearly only know how to balance around melee so the rest of the designs are taking a fat hit.
