Reading the notes it looks more like they are taking some of the damage from IG/FS and healing from LS then giving it back for light armor and to some degree medium. I assume the changes are to discourage everyone wearing heavy.

actually what you offered was anecdotal evidence, since i see zero data or breakdowns of any stats. i dunno what youve been watching, or where you learned it, but you should ask for a refund.
my last war i saw tons of mages. i guess mages are op.

You’re being facetious now.
So your position is that GA isn’t the most common weapon?
Tell you what… Show me a citation.
You’re arguing against what everyone knows. I’ve never seen ANYONE think GA isn’t the most common.

Greataxetards want mages nerfed because mage beats melee.
and naturally these apes can’t put 1 and 1 together so it must be “Hurr durr mage op!!!”

You want a citation of what I’ve seen? Ok… Quote me… I don’t know anyone who honestly doesn’t believe GA is the most common weapon.
so as a tank ( sword and board, spear) the anwser on the outside looking in is easy. take all the stuff that muilt stat for non magic stuff and poof you have your anwser. you need more points to hit the same thrushold that you need for single stat stuff like GA and Hammer and magic user can just toss in a gem to get damage on them. so limited choices make limited picks
Tossing a Gem on a GA with 300 INT gives you 60% of what STR GA gives you in damage. Why would ANYONE do that?
because it still better the getting 60 percent on a spilt stat give you and with dinishing returns that 60 percent a lot closer to strength users then you think
im not saying ax need a buff im just saying the reason that many player use the ax or hammer is it they only single stat melee choice, annnnnd magic users can use it to with gems, and not the other way around
You know why there’s more ga/wh users then anything else same reason that every MMO is 90% DPS 5% tank5% healer. It’s because it’s a playstyle more people prefer to play. I personally can’t stand playing ranged in any game it doesn’t matter how weak or strong ga/wh/gs are I’m going to play it. I would play rapier but Its dex/int and i don’t like the play style of spear and again don’t enjoy bow/gun/mage
xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
jump stuns, entombed bugs a lot, a lot of times ice storm didnt do ANY dmg, ANY debuff applied, ANY cc you can apply to the great axe is just right clicking on you, dashing like light armor with autoattacks. Yeah, seems pretty balanced.
spoiler: GA player detected.
no i want some actual data to back up your claims.
you wont provide any though, because you dont have any. just suffering from confirmation bias. every time you get rekt (because youre bad) by a melee, you announce WELL OBVIOUSLY 80% OF THE GAME USES IT, SO EASY, LMB LMB LMB, DUUUUUUUUUUUR. just like all the crybabies on here.
get good, and you wont have a problem with hamaxe

dont bother, you are argueing with the most delusional clueless guy in the game. i made that mistake once, do yourself a favor and dont repeat my mistake. just ignore him and save urself the time.
Bingo
because its the only counter vs all the dodgecancer runners in pve gear with light armor for MAX DPS in pvp, which is the pvp meta.

Anyone can do ridiculous damage in OPR right now. There are a lot of bugs and nasty stacking buffs and damage reduction.
So Void Gaunt / GA battle mage!!! Mushahaha
It’s not inconceivable, mages are A LOT stronger than ANY melee. And you know this for a fact, it’s not the fire staff that’s doing bugged dmg(even tho it’s bugged, it’s not stupid), it’s the IG broken talent that changes the tick in ice shower. You don’t get 1-2 ticks at the same time, you get like 8, melting tanks(and entire teams*) in that process. This is why outpost rush is counter strike now, because mage damage is stupid high and every parrot plays one.
I’m down to removing the magnetism of GA, but not before you change that form of CC from a team killer to an actual CC. It’s broken and needs to be fixed.
All this GA Hate is getting ridiculous.
No there aren’t that many GA players in opr.
No you don’t deserve to win in melee combat against a 300-400str GA player.
No GA players aren’t getting buffed because they’re bad they buff their weaker and less used skills to make current GA players consider using them.
Legit none of their main pvp skills got buffed yet you whine because your op firestaff and IG rightfully get nerfed just a tiny bit.
Grow up and play the ptr and see how great ur mage weapons still are
