i can't get behind this for one simple reason, it cuts deeply into the forte of the MA, critting, completely self buffed MA's have a base 24% to crit, and most other classes have +0%.Originally posted by Othgar
IMHO.. all that needs to be done is make the MA buffs NOT stack with the old style scopes.
Of course you would need to provide several IP reset points to players to repair this but that should be easy for you...
After these changes are made you can then make the old style scopes drop in game without fear of any class being overpowered with them.
Just my two credits...
What justifies other classes jumping to +15% to crit while MA's remain at 24%? Why should ever other profession in the game get the equal of a LMA buff for a one time IP investment while MA's biggest strength is eroded to near meainglessnees?
This is not parity, this is like saying give every profession a 60% heal on the same recycle timers as the doc's "complete" heal. Oh and docs get a 30% on top the max heal for complete heal. ( since you didn't include VE's in that statment ).
As you stack in more outside crit buffs those precentages get even worse.
