That can easily be solved by making uvc aso ma weapons only, no need to add scopes to that.Originally posted by schma
The point is to remove the possibilty of stacking up very high crit chances, especially when using weapons that may not be designed for use with a very high chance of critical hits, much like the original change when the UVC line was restricted to self only. Makes sense to me.
Oh yes I can name you one class immeadiately that will outdamage ma's the second this happens. *coughs traders*Originally posted by schma
I think MA's will find they still do the most damage in PvM, even after moving down from a 15% scope to an 8% scope.
Furthermore uvc can't be selfcasted before lvl 192 for most ma's while a llts and mop can easily be done at tl5, maybe even sooner in case of the llts.
Current difference in crits between a lvl 200 ma and another class:
MA: 24% uvc + max 15% scope = 39%
Non MA: 15% scope + 7% Mop = 22%
difference : 17%
for the average tl5 ma + anotherclass
MA: lma 19% + 15% scope : 34%
Non Ma: 15%scope + Mop : 22%
difference: 12%
These differences should not be changed in any way. The implementation as suggested by fc upto now means a TL5 ma:
lma 19% + VE 8% = 27%
non ma: 15% + Mop 7% = 22%
difference: 5% or 9%for a tl6 ma.
that is like chopping crit advantage an ma has in half. Still think it has very little effect?
