Bracelet of Raining Blades

Necro class bracer is also almost instantly replaced by other bracers with the same proc. Perhaps you should feel happy about having a class bracer with (for the time being) some longevity even if you have to take it out from time to time.

I am not sure which bracers you are referring to that are better, but in my eyes, MC8, +0.6% damage to DoTs, and a deflux proc is far better than anything a necro can get until Gan Bracer / Taeshlin Bracer. With that being said, you have 2 wrist slots meaning a level headed necro wouldn't replace it until they get a Taeshlin Bracer.

I think this thread is going the wrong direction. The question that should be asked is: "Why are mages the only DPS class that have to swap out their class bracer?" I have nothing against rain procs, I just think it is silly that Mages have to swap out their class bracer when Rangers, Bards, Wizards, Necros etc. never have to.

Shadowknight bracer makes mobs unmezzable and breaks mez? In the really unlikely event this ever was relevant. What about group heal bracers(druid) hitting fd monks, or did that get changed.

I really don't see these little trade offs as a problem for bracers that are out of fucking control good especially when some of them come from free loot mobs and they basically blow every other bracer you could of had out of the water with good focuses/procs/stats.

I agree that they are all stupid good, but they should be considering their rarity. But really the only classes that have this tradeoff of having to swap it out are Shadowknights (who cares) and Mages.
 
Rubbish, necros swap out bracers all the time. I carry two. It's part of the cost of admission to privilege.

Druid group heal was a cause of alot of accidents. I love these bracers as they are I just think this whole argument about the mage one having to be swapped out is fucking clownshoes as half his argument is non existent bullshit about how it hits him. Which if he had the bracer(or the ability to look at the spell on the wiki) he would know it wouldn't.


I hope zaela doesn't actually change them because this is just another example of a really stupid post getting flavor ruined over a non problem.

Signing this.
 
Leave the bracers as they are, I for one love the way the SK bracer is, and the extra flavor of the other classes bracers all being a bit different is amazing. Seriously there fine if he can't swap it out situationally then he shouldn't be raiding this high anyway.
 
don't worry guys i got a solution that will please everyone IMPORTANTLY including me
 
Crazy idea but how about getting some information/feedback from actual on tier mages who know what they are talking about before going around changing/nerfing things into the ground.
 
Lets not get all crazy and riled up over a S&R thread. I was merely pointing out that there is legitimacy behind Bridger's suggestion, albeit for mostly the wrong reasons. Suggesting that the mage bracer proc gets changed to Shock of Blades is hardly ruining any flavor at all.

Edit: but making them all standardized boilerplate class bracers would be pretty sadface.
 
since my class gets probably one of the the worst effects (a low level hot, aka Your Spell Did Not Take Hold spam) i approve this change and thank you based zoroth

I like it i have it i need to swap it out wen rains are no good deal and it is nice dps and omg wen i get hit by the rain and not resisting it i take 500 dmg or so omg i will die on it =/


let the bracer so as they are ( maybe cange the clr to a big hewal or some thing for not geting your spell did not take hold spam )
 
I wouldn't mind it staying a rain if you can control it, one of the biggest parts in tier 12-13 is how well you can do the right type of damage at the right time to the right mob, and a rain that you can't control will get you in trouble more then you think. If it does stay a rain I suggest a couple things:

1. Make it a clicky with a timer rather than a proc, something like 1.5->2 minutes beween uses. I noticed it proc'd 5-7 times on Taesh 2.0 on average when I used it, so that would make it useable about the same amount during that time frame.

2. Make a new rain, a lvl 49 spell with no resist adjust just doesn't cut it at the tier you obtain it. The new rain doesn't have to be more powerful, just something higher level and maybe a small resist adjust (on those Taesh 2.0 runs 1/3 of the waves were fully resisted and about another 1/3 partially resisted, that mob has 1 resists to everything iirc. Same for exping)

Just my thoughts if they even matter at this point, sounds like the changes had already been decided/made.
 
pretty stoked to see if new cleric bracer proc will proc from Martyr's Intercession as well as Heals
 
Previously, the ranger's Bracer of Rending Flurries did 875 base cold dmg at a 2% per 100 mana clip. Now it does 1k base magic dmg at a 1.5% per 100 mana clip. An 18% damage reduction.

Most rangers specialize(d) in the cold elemental glyph, so the change to magic damage is more likely to get resisted. The proc is also less likely to occur now (albeit for larger hits), which generally just makes it more unreliable.

Was this bracer considered overpowered? What was the reason for the change? I'd also point out the nerf to this bracer puts its damage output as equivalent to the Bracer of Tearing Strikes from Abyss, a far easier to obtain bracer with in many ways better stats, as well as a more reliable proc rate.
