Wow, bauble is only greater memonic now?

[R0cksteady]

Why? it's an extremely rare drop, and was only as good as ONE memonic per rest. What reason was there to nerf it besides making people buy more pots?

[Sirea]

making people buy more pots?

This.

They must not have been selling enough

Because they couldn't nerf epic spell storing ring retroactively without nerfing the actual power "Major Mnemonic Aid".
This power is the same for both items, the spell storing ring just has 3 casts per day instead of one.

If they would have actually created a new power and changed the spell storing ring itself, they would need to find a way for people to put it in the altar to apply the change to existing items. But who in their right mind would willingly do that?

Now if they don't intend for the bauble to be nerfed they can change the power on it and just tell people to put it in the altar for the "fix". This people will happily cooperate with...

twf dps nerf - fights last for longer - healer need to heal for longer - bauble nerfed - more sp pots bought from store....

Balance?

But you ignore that road sign when your on a bandwagon.

If Turbine really wanted to balance the nerfs out they should hit Torc. That would get some people talkin.

The Bauble nerf is one of the few that really bothers me. Healers have a hard enough time without nerfing end game spell point items. It's not like it unbalances End Game content.

Nerfing the RoSS I can see, it ****es me off but I can see it (makes carrying pots useless in 99% of the situations if you get 4 free charges each time)

The bauble however is in no way unbalancing. It's a unique rare drop that gives a clicky of major pot, it really isn't that game breaking, it's a named item like any other, it's special.

Now I would LIKE to think that the bauble nerf is a byproduct of the ring nerf, but that's silly either way

[Mellkor]

This theme of changing the game to sell pots is making me sick.

Sick
sick
sick.


The scope of this nerfgate is beyond anything I could have possibly imagined in my wildest dreams, even IF i was a greedy CEO running Turbine.

This isn't true. If that was true, then my trinket of memonic enhancement wouldn't have stayed as Major.

Let's hope so. I spent a lot of time farming for that **** thing on my cleric.

Although the HUGE boost clerics get with this new PrE is enough to keep me happy even after all the nerfs.

Check the name of the power, that's the important part.

Agree with the statement in regards to clerics, im a happy camper to and couldent care less about the nerf to the bauble and the Epic spell storing ring =)

Now FvS on the other hand I could understand being....not so happy But they deserve that for being FvS ;P
