RE: The Latest Patch

[Deleted]

Can we get further adjustments to Limbo since the most recent weapon dice changes continue to adversely impact run time. We continue to have edits making the run time worse and worse. Please assist in moving it in a positive direction.

This is basically akin to saying 'never adjust anything in a way making any character less powerful, because it impacts runtime.' This is not remotely persuasive, for reasons I have expounded on at great length over the years. Then there's the fact that you have yet to do a single limbo run under the patch and have essentially no idea the degree to which this will affect those times. And that you're not even suggesting a specific edit. If your goal was to induce an eye-roll, mission accomplished.

And, lest I let my annoyance prevent addressing the real issue that is run times, I will say that there is another update in the pipe that will reduce encounter count in Limbo. But I'm quite sure there will be edits in that update you do not like either.

Can I get a numerical comparison for the bard epics changes as its doing my head in attempting to figure it out?

[sabregirl]

Apologies for the delay on this but the epics were being calculated incorrectly earlier in the day. They're fixed on more recently reset servers.

Basically old bard epics were base charisma to 30 and then half that. So you could have gotten, with 60 base cha - 45ish ticks. You get your ticks doubled if you have a paragon focus but they cap at 50.
For a battle bard with only 16 charisma you'd get, 16 ticks. My bare minimum 30 base bard (built before the aura change) had 30 ticks.

Now it depends on bard class level so maximum base ticks you can get are 40 - double will still max at 50 with a paragon spell knowledge.
The average battle bard will get 35 ticks base.

Possums work a little differently. Before it was (base Cha / 10) So a 60 base bard would get 6 possums.
Now it's CL (so bard level including LL) divided by 12 plus 1 use for every 30 points of base cha. So a pure bard with 60 charisma could get 7 base possum uses 1 level of splash 39/1pal with the same charisma would get 6.

The average battle bard, 35 levels at lvl 60 would get 4 uses. These would also double with paragon spell knowledge in illusion.

A two hour flat P2 HM is very realistic in current state. Damage dice changes and the addition of map 2 have not ruined it. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
