Pro! I don't even remember, what is it now?

Edit. 20% now. So 20% boost on base. Not bad.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

The only question is, is that all that is being changed, and will that be enough? Scouts are well below the damage of other classes I'm not sure how 20% flat damage will affect them.

lol scoots won't be fixed. it's probably another nerf.

The only thing I expect to happen is the removal of ranged weapon mastery


Taborean Journal

:)

I lol'd. That's an easy way to give scouts 22.5% more damage effectively. If, you decide to remove all damage and attack speed buffs from the game of course lols...

Idk how you're calculating that increase, but 1.4 / 1.2 = 1.16666

So it really is only a 17% increase in damage unless I'm missing something.

Remove Blood Arrow dot and Archer's Glory movement reduction, totally unnecessary.

20% damage is 20% damage in my book. And then I gave an extra 2.5% for the 20% accuracy increase.

Assuming you know what you are doing, you will be statting to get as much PA as you can, and since scouts get a dex modifier, that would then be dex stats and straight pa stats. Giving you plenty of accuracy as is. Assuming not much as changed, but from my experience playing at endgame as an endgamer, I missed perhaps 2/100 attacks, probably less. A 20% increase in accuracy from a 98% hit rate is only going to affect PvP.

So it's already a small damage margin in PvE and a mediocre one for PvP (mainly to be used against rogues) gives me incentive to say that it will increase damage output of scouts, but a fairly small one at that.

Something is better than nothing I always say. But will it make scouts able to compete at an endgame level or be useful at that?

Edit: I don't want to be greedy but is there more coming, is this just a sneak peak? or perhaps is this it? I'm fine with just this being it but curious.

yes, clearly it's better than another nerf but that alone is still fairly minimal in comparison. Just pointing it out before anyone gets over-zealous about it >.>

Let's just wait and see how it works out. I aligned with the consensus, hoping for more than just the damage bonus.

Didn't you read the Taborean Journal (or Saito's most recent post here)? The screenshot there is a confirmed change for scout, now, so they are messing with scouts, we just don't know how much (besides the damage buff).
Reni
Mithras
Zerienga - 90/90 P/K
Téster - 95/61/60/45/45 CH/WL/R/P/M
Dontkillimascout - 90/61 WL/P

If you want to contact me quickly and efficiently, try the US IRC channel.
No, I don't know everything. I just use my knowledge to form educated guesses
And I listen when others say I am wrong in order to learn.

Taborean Journal is a sneak peek / spoilers for upcoming content, not actual patch notes obviously.

As for the question whether there will be more scout changes or other changes in general, you will have to wait either for more spoilers in another Journal issue or actual patch notes when the patch arrives ;-)


PS: Of course there will be more upgrades nerfs changes <$stuff> for scouts. Totally.

That is not a nerf to the current situation but a buff now it is 95% decrease,

Thank you for the vague reply, but a reply nonetheless. better than an infraction ;)

May I ask when the patch/ptachnotes will be released and or a new taborean journal?

P.S> I'm assuming by your journal entry that we will finally be able to kill Sismond in a new instance!? ;) that guy needs to die he's been around since, Dl/ZS or at least WA. via Annelia in WA and Maderoth in DL and I'm pretty sure Sismond was controlling both ;)
