bladech Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Since 6.0. arsenal merc is one of the weakest specs both in pvp and pve. Its dps was simply much lower compared to other dps classes which was obvious after comparing data from starparse and just after playing this spec in ranked pvp/NiM operations. Yet what you decided to do with it to NERF IT MORE by tweaking main set bonus (concentrated fire)? Really? You nerf a spec which was already underperforming compared to other specs? Where is logic?

Muthias Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Don't bother saying anything. The developers don't care. This has been brought up multiple times that nerfing Bodyguard was going to screw over Arsenal and they didn't say anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jengkiarah Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 First time I have posted in these forums in years, but this recent change is unfair and bad for the game in my opinion. I raid an arsenal merc with pretty optimized gear/stats. I have full set of apex predator armor with identical stats to my concentrated fire set. I parse about 1500 dps less in the apex predator set compared to the old concentrated fire set, which is roughly 7-8% less dps. I do hope the devs are aware of this issue and intend to remedy it quickly. Whatever their intentions, it would be nice to hear from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkzannah Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 all the merc dps don't have the apx predator stuff they have the concentrate fire, with this nerve there comes a big nerve the merc dps, since the apex predator stuff is available only on dxun fell in rng lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Harbinger Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Just play IO with concentrated fire. Arsenal is a ranged burst spec, but it was parsing same numbers as IO, which is sustained (dot) dps spec. Yes, buffing IO is better option than nerfing arsenal, but it is what it is.
