holy changes batman

shadow warriors rejoice

lol nice i think my black ork got nerfed a little. i read only part of the notes so im not completly sure tho

too bad they  Ignored more pressing issues with the SW

Stance issues

and reducing VON to 1 minute cooldown....

on the Mythic EA PTS private forums, these 2 were the ones that most people wanted to get worked on

who cares about the buffs, the SW does good dmg already.....

Stance dancing

No stance, greying out....is killing this class.

IMO they should of worked out these 3 issues

#1 Armor

#2 Stance issues

#3 Von/and range...

and none were implemented

so no the patch still sucks

Spoken like someone who knows exactly what they are talking about.

Well said, I concur completely.

They were never the worst class. If you think so, look behind your keyboard.

My monitor is behind my keybord, which in essence puts you behind my keyboard.  So your admitting that your the problem?

I'm actually glad they didn't touch those issues (except some minor stance glitching, which I agree need to be hotfixed).

The armor is fine, they are not and never will be intended to be the heavy armored RDPS class, that is left to the engineer / magus. Their survivability atm is between that of a BW and an engineer, exactly where it should be. If you find you are getting hit for too much, try stacking wounds / toughness instead of just ballistics. A lot of RDPS should be doing this anyway, to avoid from getting steamrolled.

For VOH, I do not think the cooldown should be 1mins, that's pretty quick for such a powerful skill. They'ved uped the damage for the SW across the board, which makes VOH more beneficial indirectly. VOH is not intended to be a commonly used powerhouse skill. It's meant as a safety, to help kill / finish off those hard to kill targets. That's all it's meant for.

As for range, with the exception of 2 skills SWs have the best range in the game. If they need to adjust anything in regards to range, it's updating the hotkeys to change from red to white apropriately, when in scout stance. If you've played SW passed tier1 though, you start to get a feel for the range anyhow, and I personally almost never look at my
