PTR Modifying proc and onkill perks

[THOR_Dominikson]

Hi there,

Currently on the PTR a modification has been made, “buff” weapon perks based on “proc” or “onkill” are deactivated during the weapon switch.

Currently this kind of perks like mortal power, keenly empower, mortal fortification… allow you to have a bonus, which remains on you for 5 to 10 seconds or even 20, but which remains despite your weapon switch.

This makes talents like Lethal Fortification or Lethal Power somewhat useful, and perks like Fully Reinforced very much used by all types of offensive players.

Now with ptr update. You can throw away all these kind of perks.
The mortal fortifications are therefore totally useless for most players, the mortal powers very useless, the keenly empower totally nerfed. Except for ranged players who don’t need to switch weapons to kill you easily.

Once again an update that benefits more ranged players… just like the perks of attunements which up to 18% the ranged players on each shot (while it will be every 2 shots for the melee, not counting the AOE or it doesn’t proc), or like the next gems which are each time a formidable advantage for those who already hit hard without needing to resist more…
Let’s not even talk about deadly reinforcements which allow each ranged player to take 15 of your kills from you and to have abused reinforcements which leave you no chance and kill the game for opponents.

again, think about each modification, each talent, so that it benefits both ranged and melee. especially when the meta in pvp is totally invaded by ranged players.

I think we have to go back on this kind of talent to leave them as they are now, especially since nobody complains about it

This should get more traction as this basically kills off a lot of perks that devs worked on previously to make viable.

Why buff perks to make them absolete. This was interesting thing that you always wanted to have different Keen procs on weapons and potentially Mortal Power on your 2ndary weapon. Now it will reduce viable BIS items.

I hate if this would stay on release, atleast it would be nice if you proc Mortal Power and swap to 2nd weapon then swap back that Mortal Power would come back up. Otherwise it is pretty much dead perk now.
