Hello. Just watched Q&A video of devs talking about future balance changes.
If i get it right, it is GOING TO BE EVEN WORSE!
Main thing is they talked about Nerfing musket and light armor.
Musket nerfs that are comming might be something to do with accuracy and mortal empower,.
Also want to nerf resil etc,… perks efectivity on light armor.
Problem with this is. Musket is not insane strong because of just mortal empower,. base dmg is busted and if you nerf resist for light armor, its going to be even worse, let me show you video that i did test to proof it to you.
Remember, on these video - I use almost two-perk musket with keen that doesnt add up to dmg (if i had keenly jaggered, keenly empower, vorpal, vicious, it would be even worse.)
I DONT have any mortal empower and still do this crazy dmg against player with 5 resil, 1 physical aversion, elemental aversion and also 200 cons (except first clip)!
I also did record more scenarios so you cant tell these situlation doesnt happen, i did do body hits, did go more far away etc,… Just watch videos please, thank you.
Imagine if they turn down reduction for light armor, muskets will be even stronger. Also yes, i can 3 tap bruiser in medium gear with 200 cons too.
So dont try to argue that musket doest big damage only to light, if you are lazy to test it yourself and dont belieave me, let me know and i test it on video too.
I think if you watch all these videos and still defend musket, you might be crazy.
Have a nice day!
lol yesterday in OPR a musket was shooting me and I paid them no mind. Just walked by poke…poke…poke. Lost no more than a third of my hp. 17% thrust resist 5% ele resist did not use gemstone or oakflesh, Medium, 200 con. I kind of felt bad for that musket, to feel so worthless.
In different conversations on CoS with several musket players believe it or not they are fine with removing hit scan on musket, making it a projectile weapon to make the musket more challenging to use.
The hardcore musket players remind me of the old hard core bow players. They wanted skill to matter more then easy mode.
Of course that’s a small sample but I found it interesting that some of the more hardcore known musket players on CoS would want that.
try making the same video with a 5 con BiS bow to check the damage, you can do 12k+ in the same combo…
All im saying is, you wanted muskets to have 7k HP and do 1k damage?
A bow can do the same amout of burst and have 12.9k HP (I have both musket and bow builds)
If you want musket damage to be nerfed so bad you should start carrying right now about other weapons, cause I feel very soon you’ll be back here with another “bow is broken” or “firestaff is broken” videos showing 5 con builds…
I have a medium set, similar to a bruiser, and musket shots tickle. Barely notice muskets are even in OPRS. Bows, a different story. Muskets, not too noticeable.
Can also post ya some vod clips, of me attacking war bruisers…and it taking more than 3. Which is why most don’t touch medium and heavy users,
