Light Armor and Dex isn't the issue, its Mortal Empowerment

Right because I just want to make up a fireball crit for 7k on me.
I never said it happened all the time either. To call someone else a liar because you yourself have never had it happened is elitist bullshit. Prove it how, I didn’t take a screenshot, I wasn’t expecting to get hit at all by a Hail Mary fireball to the back.

I was playing Dex, 100 con, around 14% melee, 4% elemental resist gems. I did not have shirking fortify up as I ran out of stamina rolling away from the zerg crowd so was just free running with no fortify, no desert sunrise, incense, etc.
Boom! 7k fireball to the back.

You can believe it or not idk and to be clear the only ability I think that needs actually reworked on FS mages is FT (no one should have a free cast ability). But I also don’t think fire mages need a buff.

The only weapons I think need reworked is defy death on hatchet (needs removed if Berserk is going to be left alone), hit scan on musket (apparent reasons), Great sword haste nerfed and/or damage/healing (can’t have it all) and Mage Flamethrower needs to be changed from free cast.

I just don’t sorry. I think it’s more likely that you were hit with something else at the same time, OR if it truly was just a fireball, dude that shot it was 500 int + several empowers.

I know this is my anecdotal experience but I have never seen a fireball come close to 7k as someone who almost never runs more than 2 shirking fort, and no elemental resistances. Sometimes full Ele aver sometimes none.

I just think that the same subpassive that allows it to be togglable should also come with a much higher mana cost.

Never really had a problem with either of these and I don’t even use any of the several hard counters it has.

Yup

Sure

Did you have 0 resil? Bow hits 5k through 5/5 resil, 150 con, physical aversion, and emeralds. That’s the issue lmao.

no, ME is definitely busted with specific weapons only.
Mortal emp

Is this pic supposed to prove something bro?

What is this other guy gear, is he fortified, what’s his equipload and why would anyone put a topaz on a hatchet?

bow does 5-6k heavy attacks without stacks. Dex ranged damage is the issue. stop coping.

He wasnt fortified(I surprised him)
He was RENDED 15%

And because splitting the damage to any element gives me an increase against most people + I don’t like to use opals on my hatchet in light because I mostly throw it and I tend to Stam myself out when fighting bows.

Yeah if I were using a bow that would’ve been a 5k crit and not a 1300 one LOL. Bows(and muskets to a lesser extent) have too much non-empowerment damage increases.

Ok. What was his equipload? Because either he was at least medium or your gear is hot poo.

I wonder what was your stat split as well.

Be that as it may you are losing out on dps bro. Ask any schizo.

That varies and also sounds more like a bow than ME problem to me.

In wich Game???

He was medium and my gear isn’t poop, you think I got to 15 stacks with poop gear? :joy:

Skitzo’s use stamina to chase, I use it to run :joy:. With that particular build I “chase” with net shot and distancing throw.

E x a c t l y

You tell me.

And considering his equipload those numbers make sense.

Again I ask what is your stat split?

Nvm didn’t read all your posts and assumed you’re with OP.

New world

No. Musket is broken even with out emp stacks. But nice try :>

Then you shall consider work harder on ur build, when in on light i receive 2.5k or similar according to the bow specs, 5k Max if its a bis bow with 15 ME stacks.

35% thrust resistance bow can hit for 6k heavy attacks, shouldn’t be possible needs a hitbox nerf fire rate nerf or damag enerf. And needs a nerf to haste in addition to one of the 3 nerfs.

No they dont do that much

idk man as you say maybe you should “work harder on ur build” and you can hit those numbers, get good scrub

Another random saying random things, not surprised. Which build i shall work ? My bruiser on medium? My mage light? My bb/ig heavy? Dont you understand that many of us are not attached to any singular Game Style?
Work on your build, if u did so then stop exagerate numbers trying to accomplish your desirees.

no exaggeration. I have proof, the cognitive dissonant can ignore it thats ok. Ranged dex will get nerfed, the question is when.

To much lol. Dont be lik ags when they did 35 nerfs to fs/ig in one patch. I agree bow is little to strong now, but nerfing bow from all possible angles at once is to much.
