In general fixing things that are not working as intended should be a bigger priority than balance changes - including this issue. Definitely fix the bug.

I am certainly not opposed to certain tweaks to vistani or arcane warrior. The points raised certainly make sense.

My main observation is that these perceived problems don't significantly...

I've never done anything close to being ban-worthy and have no idea how bans work, but based on some of the previous posts I've seen my guess is banned people just keep coming back with new accounts.

Part of a long list of things in the game that don't make sense.

You are comparing magic debuff against no debuff at all - not sure why since I never suggested there would be no debuff at all.

It doesn't work like that since all damage is debuffed in reaper...

All damage is reduced in reaper mode, but since piercing damage is typed like martial damage it's just a matter of which damage debuff is used - magical or physical.



I run my warlock in R10s...

This is only R7 plus where groups are beating content a bit to easily anyhow.

For warlock it's possible penetrating blast and ruin/gruin aren't impacted as penetrating blast is piercing damage and...

This is a poor but passable approach to fixing the problem.

The real issue is that you keep upping the helpless damage boost % which makes it easier for casters to make mobs helpless and then...

Agree

Dragonborn is great for ftp or if you have no tomes such as hardcore. Feydark illusionist is super solid for the cc and cha to hit and damage, but you still need strength for thf if you...

If you have a gem with the most important set you can use that until you eventually get both. And if you get an absolutely fantastic combo of sets for a future build - it's well worth the extra mats...

Going for one red fens/vault of knight set bonus isn't super hard @ 1 in 13. Getting one chronoscope/sands set is even easier at 1 in 9. Your chance of getting the exact two bonuses you want is 1...

It seems like an odd thing to break with a restart. He only spawns on heroic.

If you are farming that specific rare you can check if a hill giant is there - if he is the rare won't be up.

The level 34 quest did include the doubling- apologies for not showing details on the math, it's the *2 with the entire calc inside parentheses.

To your point, they could easily change the heroic...

Here is a typical DC with a fairly standard setup:

PK won't work on everything.

I think it's fine, but a better solution would be to reduce the helpless damage boosts for spellcasting and increase the helplessness damage boosts for melee. Too many helpless damage boosts is the...

To put some actual #s to this.

Base XP for a level 9 quest on R10 is 50 + (3 * 9 * 10 ) = 320
Base XP for a level 34 quest on R2 is (50 + (3 * 34 * 2 )) * 2 = 508

Obviously running Jungle of...

Melees should have higher helplessness bonuses and caster helplessness bonuses should be reduced.

There are quite a few options out there. But I still find the following framework optimal for max dc and spell damage

Magewright 2 piece set - goggles and cloak
Elder's 2 piece set - helm and...

currently the spell resistance = charisma is not working. It works when you set it but then gets lowered the next two subsquent log outs and then just stays low.

Overall I like it as well.

The main problem with melee survivability in high R is aoe attacks that can one-shot melees even with a tank fully holding aggro.

Dodge is quite a broken mechanic in reaper right now. They have...

You'll never get pk to work on everything, but to get it to work on more things you'll need to get all the +1s to int and DC that you can. That means going tier 5 and capstone in feydark illusionist...

Great topic to bring up.

I think many exclusive melee players feel there is a large kill count variance and want to feel they are contributing more.

One of the biggest things boosting aoe...

If they want to give a catch-up mechanism applying the 200% xp bonus to epic and heroic levels would certainly do that. Or maybe 150% heroic, 175% epic and 200% (legendary is already 200%).

I...

For phantasmal killer to work it requires enemies fail both a will and a fort save and fear immunity nullifies it entirely. Depending on content, quest level and skull level it is a viable spell,...
