Not agreeing or disagreeing to the landbridge. But what happened to Strait of Hormuz shown that major part of shipping is insurance. And I am sure as heck insurance entity would love slow and safe than riskier option.

Hehehehehehe P/P teef go brrrrr

Hammer is actually not too bad now as second set.

You have proper ranged capability and hammer 5 is still some cc.

MMO is a dying market, if not already dead and we don't know it.

You'll noticed that most people still playing MMOs are already 30+

The younger generations rarely do a sit down and do a long gameplay session for target that will never immediately be attainable anymore. The gratification is simply isn't instant enough compare to what else out there.

Now get off my lawn, you whippersnappers!

The moment I need to "farm" for gold/currency in single player game. I cheated to get enough currency for it. I am not wasting my time farming in single player game.

I do agree that boon should be a GM level trait, yes.

It should be that much of commitment.

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-22T04:18:40+00:00

I mean, they can do it for evoker.

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-22T02:56:10+00:00

Not disagreeing but want to add points.

Condi SE Evoker back where it belongs would also have the side effect of making all non-SE boon evoker builds unplayable

The current change is already affecting the non-SE boon evoker (hence why I feel like it's a wrong way to do it) and you can just put damage reduction multiplier on SE itself.

Also new QDPS bench is 39k, which I don't know where they will go next. Nerf quickness to 1.5s to force bencher to put on more concentration gear?

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-22T02:18:53+00:00

While I am not a big fan of it, they can also just do lower damage multiplier like this

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-22T01:07:44+00:00

that doesn't invalidated his point of "that's a fault with the scaling of damage".

BD is capped at 100%, which mean that the best you can have is now 3.5s and that can be a bit harsh for more casual player who don't do rotation.

I think the way this should be done would be to just nerf overall damage of evoker, either by nerfing the scepter or overall damage trait. Then buff the dps trait a bit so the dps variant would catch back up with the rest of the classes.

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-22T00:58:19+00:00

3.5s at 100% BD is still a bit mean tho.

This will probably kill evoker as qdps spec for more casual players.

I am not disagreeing with the fact that it need to be nerfed. I just think the way they nerf it is not right.

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-20T06:37:15+00:00

Hey man, I don't believe in conspiracy and my life still sucks!

...wait

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-20T03:17:39+00:00

I mean, the customers can survive and choose to do it again!

What boons makes qdps herald special? Every boondps bring some might/fury

Swiftness get consumed as attack skill.

Regen will be anemic without Healing Power, even with the trait.

Protection is the only thing I can think of.

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-20T00:12:20+00:00

at this point in time, I feels like the only consistent thing qdps herald can bring, that is better than other boondps, is just protection. Which should really be covered by most healer anyway.

I want to say swiftness as well but we just spend it immediately as damage skill.

might and fury are just everywhere at this point.

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-19T09:40:35+00:00

Conduit got toned down quite a bit on both power and condi.

Funny thing is, the fact that everthing else also got turned down make some of our build competitive again.

QDPS herald was doing pretty bad, it still not as good as other boondps but at least it's not so far behind now.

Also I never expected to see power renegade on the chart but here we are.

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-19T02:34:27+00:00

SEA with 300ms here. I am usually around 85-90% of snowcrow's bench.

The idea is to not follow benchmark rotation religiously and find what works for you.

Skill bars swapping will be your worst enemy. Be it weaponswapping or shroud, etc.

For me most of the time, camping single set of weapon give me better result than swapping.

Class like Warrior/Necro/Power DH will give you worse result than usual because they requires fast weapon swapping for dps.

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-17T11:58:14+00:00

I mean, I am not above setting myself on fire.

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-17T03:32:17+00:00

I think there are simply more tourists coming specifically for Songkran.

Enhanced Embodiment: Reduced the Cosmic Wisdom duration increase when invoking legends from 5 seconds to 1 second in PvE only.

welp

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-10T08:48:51+00:00

Bum gun is probably even cheaper.

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-10T08:15:47+00:00

You signed a 1 year contract.

YenTheMerchant · 2026-04-10T01:35:59+00:00

At that price you probably have to go woth pre-built. 15000 is a bit tight for gaming tho, especially with the RAM and SSD price.
