It’s already the least used weapon in the entire game lol. This is back to back PTR nerfs on the weapon after barely anyone played the PTR for feedback. I rarely ever see the PTR servers get above 50 population, and somehow we are supposed to rely on that small of a pool of people to provide feedback and testing?
Musket is supposed to be a precision weapon used at extreme range. It is outclassed by every other weapon in every other scenario. What is being done is making a precision and ranged based weapon less useful at precision and at range.
If you had poor eyehand coordination and poor positioning, you weren’t good at musket anyways. I have over 3000 hours just using this single weapon. There are players who know how to fight a musket and then there are players who run in straight lines in the open and get upset when they get beamed down and cry about it on the forums.
Now they will be able to close that distance gap much easier, bringing the one useful aspect of the weapon (its range/accuracy) to basically nothing.
Just to be VERY clear. This is nerfing the damage by FOURTY PERCENT at maximum range, combined with the nerf to empowered SS you will kill this weapon. It’s not useful in PVE whatsoever so you know these nerfs are specifically PVP oriented.
No. These nerfs are specifically targeted towards PVP. If you watched the most recent dev blog update you’d know they talked about musket needing BUFFS in PVE but saying that it was going to be nerfed in PVP.
These are nerfs. PVE doesn’t even come into this discussion right now. If you want to dex in PVE use a bow, musket sucks ass in PVE.
Yes, but if to eliminate a boss or for a dungeon in general you are not located more than 100 meters away to shoot, it does not affect anything at all, I do not think you need extra help to kill an elite lvl 63-65, you can easily do it with a musket
Three months ago it was the least used weapon in the game. This is no longer true. In the current meta, the musket is out performing most weapons in burst output with little to no risk involved. A lot of people have realized this and are capitalizing on the current meta and musket.
