Make Druids Great again
Peete:
I was brain storming the other day with some folks concerning Druids and their current viability on the server. For the most part druids have been underwhelming. I would like to propose that druids get an attack debuff now, instead of waiting for when they grow up. Ideally, it would be similar in power to the current slows, meaning if you parsed a mob it would have roughly the same damage output over a set period of time. Also to avoid under performing mobs, attack debuff and slow would not stack right now.
For example:
Ro's Illumination
Druid 62
1 : Effect type : Decrease AC by 50
5 : Effect type : Decrease ATK by 80
We might have to play with the numbers to see what makes the most sense.
Dolmir:
I like the idea to give Druids something to help out their viability in groups and raids. For technical reasons I don't think it would be implemented by an ATK reduction.
In general, we are cautious about adding new things because of the problems with nerfing them later down the line if they end up being too strong. We will definitely keep this suggestion in mind when considering changes to the Druid class.
Peete:
Well before the idea gets shot down, Druid's do get an AC and attack debuff at lvl 62 that does stack with slow. I'm asking if it would be beneficial to the class and game if it was introduced earlier and did not stack with slow.
Dolmir:
The relationship between AC, ATK, and actual damage is very complicated and I think it would be unwise to try to balance an ATK debuff. The marginal value of each point of ATK is subject to the defenders AC and other factors and the whole formula is very difficult to model. In addition, at all ranges the actual damage done is highly variable, so any experiments regarding efficacy of ATK debuff need to be fairly lengthy. Players would have to go to pretty great lengths to quantify the value of the spell. This is why I suggest that the idea be implemented not as an ATK debuff. I didn't mean to give the impression that I disagreed with the idea entirely.
Eldarian:
let me discuss with
the night king
perhaps a happy medium can be found
