Bracelet of Raining Blades

People seriously pull numbers out of their asses and have no idea what they are talking about. I thought it was cute when Thade did it because at least some of his information was right, but people don't even try nowadays.

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.

Please never make a post unless you know what you're talking about. Ranger bracer is now better then ever, do not complain.
 
Maybe you guys should go sit in on a second grade math class for a while, and re-learn how to multiply and divide. Fomelo shows the proc rate of all items worn by a character. The Wiki shows the base damage of most spells in the game. You don't have to manually parse an item to understand exactly how much damage it does.

Bracer of Rending Shadows

I'm not sure how much more of the work I can do for you, but you can PM me in game if you're still stumped and I'd be happy to help you through it. Feed a man a fish...


And by the way, the attacks on Zor's playing ability in this thread are utterly uncalled for, and the attacks on his reasonable opinions in this thread do nothing but call into question the Devs' abilities to make reasonable changes to the game. It's passive aggressive and it's unlikely to help your cause.
 
Maybe you could actually account for the negative resist adjust, but that is 3rd grade math, so I can see how you missed it.
 
Also the fact that you didn't realize that it will save you a cooldown and be a DPS UPGRADE just shows me how much of an idiot you really are.

Your condescending remark is lacking.

A better counterpart would be: "Teach a man to fish, and he'll be able to feed himself. Teach a man the art of fishing and the intricacies and details, and he'll be able to feed a village." There's more going on than a couple numbers, and you'd do well to look beyond them.
 
Teach a man math and he'll learn to fish because math is not as much fun as fishing, and beer doesn't help nearly as much with math as it does with fishing.

All I did was post a question about why an item was changed (along with the actual numbers to show how it was changed), and I had four people respond that I'm clueless. It had already happened earlier in the thread in response to the OP, and it seems to happen too often on these forums.

I'll be happy to stop being condescending when people stop deserving it.
 
No, you were insulting the mathematical ability of another poster, and I take offense to that as a math teacher. This was after referring to the bracer as becoming "more unreliable" and referring to the change as a "nerf".
 
Because everything you said was awful. After having a dev throw glaring truth at you, you looked away with your fancy prescription sunglasses shrugging it off and pretended you were still right in your original accusation that the item was nerfed.

Felyn already said what needed to be said, you pulled some math out and ignored key parts of the equation which were that the proc is almost guaranteed to hit everything in the game unlike icerend as well as it allowing you to actually cast the spell/proc on cooldown.

If you are going to complain about something at least put the minimal effort into making a not-completely-terrible post.

Zoroth listed a number of reasons he felt the item he didn't have was terrible. Many of these reasons were shot down by people who understood basic game mechanics as well as people who had the item in question. Why he can't play the game like everyone else and not put his clownshoes on and dance a jig with pants on his head is beyond the scope of sod forums.

Came here to say this.

Also, the ONLY, caveat I would have with the proc change (IF I HAD THE BRACER), would be that MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, I might not have as high of a magic focus or as many magic mastery tomes done, as I did frost based tomes and focii. That would be it. If you fomelo kedrin you will see that he has Frost II done and is currently doing MM I. He has 7% focus for both types of damage, and even with glyph shadow still has a -175 resist benefit going for it.

Shadow is probably the best proc on anything ever and I am insanely jealous that rangers do not have a high tier shadow proccing weapon (not the 6man sword). This is a step in the right direction though, I would love to own this bracer.


P.S. put shadow on a bow, fix ranger dps!
