Boon of Quickness bugged (does nothing)

boon of quickness broke overnight. it no longer does anything at all

(no im not talking about the fact that it doesnt stack, i know some1 is gona bring it up sooner or later, they always do >.>)

so yeah since the last "retail like fix" took away most of our buffs, id like to at least not see them broken. sorc took the biggest blow recently so at least fix the skill again? thx

oh f them, im fed up, u wanted to make the class retail like and take away our buffs? fine, doesnt mean u should change our skills however u like and take away our best buff, theres a reason why we went asmo!!!

 

it's a balance fix since stigma system isnt applied on Gamez.

 

not really balance, every class has all stigmas, why cant we?

also for ur information, if they did have stigma system we would all go for nukes AND BoQ, u cant take away a skill coz u feel like it

balance and discrimination r 2 different things >.>

 

CAuse they QQ to alente! Thats why they nerfed us. FIs BoQ Please. Asmodians Should have it just us ELYos have boon of strength.

 

every class has all the skills they can have, skills with THE SAME EFFECTS AS RETAIL, u cant just change the skill effects how u see fit. ignoring the fact that this effect isnt even related. casting speed > magic boost anytime. anyways u wanted non stacking buffs as IT WAS MEANT TO BE, so why not keep BoQ as IT WAS MEANT TO BE >.>

 

The change was intended as a balancing mechanic due to Vaizel's and BoQ stacking, without the stigma system it was considered significantly detrimental to gameplay balance to have a class that could (under one race) hit a couple buttons and suddenly insta-kill basically any player in the game.

Instantly casting every end-tier stigma damage skill with the accuracy buff of the other stigma tree by using the cast speed stigmas also was... absurd.

Having said that now that Vaizel's and BoQ do not stack anymore we will be reversing the skill adjustment next update.

We try to avoid interfering directly in gameplay balance as often as possible but sometimes a significant amount of community unrest regarding certain gameplay mechanics can push us into action. Now that the other bug of stacking skills has been addressed we can reverse the change to BoQ.
