Why did you nerf Tarlov?

[Dorian]

He was the only decent hireling... not anymore.

[Charononus]

he was better than the gimpy owlbear so he had to be nerfed, it was easier that way than buffing the owlbear

What exactly did they nerf?

What exactly did they nerf?

Not exactly sure what they nerfed. He seems to be doing less damage (especially crits) and taking MORE damage.

This might be because they took away his Red Dragonscale Armor and gave him a Spider-Spun Caparison Outfit.

Not 100% sure... but he probably lost 10 Seeker and some PRR because now he is wearing an outfit instead of light armor.

They also changed his helm (what is the black ninja looking helm?) and who knows what other gear. For anybody that uses him a lot when solo'ing content... you will notice a big nerf.

Too bad, his higher than expected damage made up for the fact that he spends a lot of time swinging at the air.

I tested Tarlov in the Stormhorns, is there a reason you are teaching players to use cloth armor when they are proficient in light armor? Is he getting changed to a monk or is a Hide of the Goristo not working correctly for hirelings?

you answered your own question.

If only his command bar would be amended too... hes a melee guy, why on earth does he have a ranged stance on there? Change the bar to FoM, healing spring & CSW, then frankly i wouldn't really care if he loses 30% damage

When i ran with my Hire-Party through EN storm horns, Tarlov and the rogue (forget name) survived the longest without heals; deffinently not nerfed, and as an asside; all (most anyway) hirelings now use cosmetic armors, but have the same stats as before.
