Oh no!!! We are not going to nerf BB!!! Where is nerf to mages!!! BB is now dead!!! Again, these developers DO NOT PLAY THE GAME AS WE DO!!! So tired of all the nerfs - where are the buffs??? AG’s philosophy is penalize play. So sad, I can not wait for other mmos. I am so out of here.
Top pvp companies in NA already run maybe 2-4 bb’s in war. Dying to bb/hammer in opr isn’t representative of how the weapon is in the actual pvp game mode.
You should rightfully nerf BB/Hammer into oblivion but shrapnel nerf is a little over the top.
BB already lost a ton of its survivability with the fortify changes. It already is being nerfed without you even specifically doing so.
You guys have to look at the big picture and not just opr or forum-post crying.
If you want to do anything to ASB, rework it. That’s basically all you can do. If you over-nerf it you will ruin the weapon. I’d consider a rework of some of the abilities like chain shot as well as that’s largely just used for one-shot combo bs.

this show ags dont know nothing about pvp in game , in every war is 4 bb max, also u nerfed forty to the ground so bb is not even tanky anymore and now this . time to uninstall
Really praying to God for this game to separete PvP and PvE balance, it feels awful to be forced to play something you dont want just so you can be viable. I like playing ranged characters in games and New World just hate ranged players in PvE, I could do “some” damage in Expeditions with BB but now i just dont now, hopefully the bane changes could help a little (I dont think they will do tho.)

i cant stand this dev, they nerf forty to the ground i can dump my 3 mln gold gear to trash and now they also nerfing dmg , so overall bb will be useless,.meanwhile bow is broken in ptr
Do you guys have any plans for doing some work on fortify nerfs? They indirectly impact so much.
- Fortify change nulling the way gemstone/oakflesh are used. I’d assume oakflesh/gemstone go back to their original form of damage mitigation instead of armor rating addition like in PTR. Essentially all that is useless right now when you compare it with mitigation you used to get
- Fortify nerfs impacting BB’s survivability considering BB has close range burst but it can all be mitigated with a good healing circle.
- Fortify nerfs impacting light melee even getting close to a ranged player before getting blown up and not being able to rely on any fortify/oakflesh/gemstone to mitigate any damage whatsoever.
- Even if nerfs go through, so many abilities on NW give 2-3 second fortify which in itself doesn’t mitigate more damage than it lets invig punishment have. These are all just plain useless.
- item diversity because of this is pretty much resil aversion must, unlike last patch where fort and aversion went hand in hand, or you had to choose from refreshing ward or freedom.
This is the reason most people will quit after patch, and not 300grit sh*t.

100% agree
imagine a close range weapon, low survivability, long cooldown, hard to use, plus neft 1 of the main damage skills. Good changes AGS, good critical thinking, i swear BB will be meme weapon next patch, just get yourself a bow or a firestaff, you are good to go.

best part is couse of the forty changes bow become even more broken then now XD
bow only loses 10% damage…
this weapon is still extremely strong, even more so now with the nerf on fortification, bb needs attention in azoth blast (nerf damage) only for become ok, but bow need more nerfs or we gonna see another “season” of bow opr’s.
guys i hope this is a prank! you can’t nerf the blunderbuss, at the moment is balanced, if you nerf bb you destroy the weapon, please ags stop!

Boy everyone was ready with their bb/FS build talking about how OP it was going to be.
They fix the most busted move that is currently erasing people ASB and now we’re all whining that it sucks?
Why does this group of war loggers feel like a bad joke

Take a look on real reason most ppl cry about weapon. 200str + 150int build. Its only build that in fact can 100->0 light armor player. But issue is not bb. Issue is scalling with 2 attributes + 150int attribute perk bonus dmg.
Can you move 150int to 300int?

Dude. Its just 1 skill and do we know how much dmg nerf it will be? Since i cant find any numbers.
Fk yeah nerf bow more
do you have a clip of this myth or do we just take your word? i really wanna see this 3 auto attacks + 3 skills in less then a second happening.
Low survivability? Are you joking? =D Hard to use with animation skip and doing 6-8k damage in 0.2 sec. I think these nerfs are not enough, but it’s a good start.
300 int + 50 str also can oneshot you
