So...since Yu Suganuma is in charge of Ep.3 and Balancing.. Pt.II

[D-Inferno]

Really? I heard it was down to 255% from 300%.

255/300 = 0.85

[Punisher106]

255/300 = 0.85

I didn't mean overall percentages, I literally meant the amount. :T

but hey, you get to keep your weak bullet loaded.

Which is why I don't really consider this a nerf at all. I don't mind sacrificing some of the power in exchange for the utility.

Also where's the poll option for he did better than I expected?

[pkemr4]

they should adjust the SH boss's to accommodate for the nerfs.

[UnLucky]

I honestly felt WB should have been nerfed to x2, or even x1.5, since I feel it makes bosses die too quickly. A EXP reward boost and boosted drops would compensate for that.

I've always thought it should replace the target part's natural resistance with whatever their highest weakness already was.

So putting it on Ragne's leg would make it take the same damage as its core

[D-Inferno]

That would defeat the concept of trying to attack the enemy's weakpoint in the first place, though.

Here's hoping Ultimate/whatever boss have some kind of resistance to WB and Banish Arrow to prevent a snoozefest.

[Taskus]

So far (in my opinion) it looks better than it is now. I don't play all the classes, but some of the tree skill position adjustments got me excited

[Lostbob117]

I'm holding my opinion for now on the classes.

Though from how I see it now. COs are actually worth doing and you don't have to run TACOs daily now so it's in a way, easier to make meseta from COs and can do multiple at a time. Which is how it should have been in the first place.

Exactly. It's a quality of life thing for Ranger. Awkward weak points can be repositioned, like Kartargots. I'd add a special clause that makes it always count for WHA, like against Micdahs or other enemies that have absolutely no actual weak points.

And it'd just be purely for convenience, like blasting Malmoth big fat ass instead of the humpback, or faster part breaking. You wouldn't absolutely require a Ranger in every single party to be effective, but it can still make things easier.

Edit: Actually, in the case of De Malmoth, changing the body to a 2x multiplier like the face/back would actually be MORE than the old 300% WB since it normally resists damage by 50% (so 1.5x with WB).
