Oh wait, dont forget nerf healing too. Healing that is seriously under-powered at T4 as it is.
I dont have a clue what Mythic are playing at with these changes. Sure other classes have had their DPS increases and DoTs increased but that was never the problem. It wasnt that people were not doing as much damage as Bright Wizards, it was that Bright Wizards were doing so much more than everyone else. No its not the same. Bright Wizards and to a lesser extent Sorcs are extremely overpowered as it is, even before these changes. Instant DoTs, Root, Snare, Punt, Heal Debuff that also hurts any healers who try to heal that target.
I know some people will say learn to play my class against BWs properly but my alt IS a BW. I also have a Disciple on another server two, both of which are lvl 40. Its so much fun playing on my BW but thats because it is so damn easy to take someone down. Even an equal level Zealot (healer) doesnt stand a chance when i focus down on someone. Aslong as i keep behind the hoard picking away they just drop like flies. So yeah its fun but it doesnt make me blind to the balance issues because of it. I made my Disciple as my main and soon found that regardless of what class you are, get focused on by a BW and chances are you are dead unless he's a very stupid BW.
Bah, im ranting so ill finish up.
Basically these patch notes came out of the blue and when everyone was expecting a big BW nerf, they boosted their damage instead. Cant wait to play my Squig Herder again but until they sort out BWs and Sorcs Warhammer is seriously out of balance.
For those wanting to know whether they should play the game? Id say sit tight and wait until they have nerfed BW's first. You'll get bored when in every scenario you are fighting a squad of 6 BWs.
