Things are settled after a testing session, @Mandulf is correct, as I just got mixed up with relative and absolute damage resistances. Shields truly are not that bad as long as you approach the ~3k max HP range.

@Mandulf Let's jump to a convo, We're not updating the page fast enough, this is getting messy. And I'm sort of bad at math.

Quote from Mandulf: “Since the armor is the same in both situations, if we ignore it we get: ” I fixed my calculations there, it didn't seem to update yet on your side yet. Heal = 305/(1/(1-0.067*(1-0.56)) - 1/(1+0.038)) = 4553.303598

Quote from Mandulf: “I'm pretty sure the damage reduction from armor and magic resist is independent from the damage reduction from the defence modifier. ” No, It has a distinct order. % defense modifier reduces the incoming damage AFTER accounting for base armor resistances.

Quote from Mandulf: “If anything needs to be done to 'rescue shields' ” You got one thing wrong. The % defense modifier becomes active only after accounting for the magical and physical damage resistances provided by armor, not the other way around. So for example, if you have a full cleric cloth set at 1200 IP (that's what I have the data on hand for) your stats will look something like this: HP - 2354, Armor - 127 (56% phys res), Magic resist - 151 (60% magic res); A taproot at ~1200 will have…

I remember seeing something on the forums among the lines of the sarcophagus outperforming the taproot when you have a healer, but only after you get healed for ~5 times your max hp value, which is honestly not impactful at all. It probably was useful at some point when TTK was much larger, but definitely not now.

Even updating the game to a new engine version is a pain in the ass, but you want to re-make it in a completely new one? Yeah, that's not even slightly feasible.

Quote from Trial_hard: “pve State ” It's not even that great in PvE either.

I'd much rather fix the interrupt economy and availability in the game rather than introduce such a blatant band-aid, but it's SBI we're dealing with, so here we are.

Boomp.

Quote from Shadowbrick: “other players might still get offended by something you consider to be a joke. ” Nobody asks those questions. Moderators are always the first to be offended at someone's else expense.

Quote from The_Support_God: “remember the days about 1.5 years ago (Pre call to arms patch) we were asking to nerf holy healing cause nature was dead? and when nature Got a Mini rework to Cleanse Heal + some other buffs it was so strong it pushed holy out of the healing meta for crystals? before holy flash was turn to what it is now several months later ” All of it again boils down to the slowpoke balance decisions. Overall damage in the game goes up, one healing staff is buffed, and the other o…

Cleanse heal was the first spell to actually play around with stack management in a fun way... aaand they gutted it. And the whole other tree too. Just because one staff is good in 5v5. *clap clap*

Weren't they talking about partial counters like 4 years ago, or was it just my imagination?

Quote from ziigii: “So better give it some slow ” That brings me to a point: what SBI fears about slows on Q slots? It's the mildest form of CC, yet it still contains some value. We have all these complicated multi-stage, multi-purpose spells which break either the tree or some form of content. A LOT of spells could simply get their CC downgraded to a slow and buffed in an appropriate manner without inducing nerve-racking stunlock and devaluing dedicated interrupts as a result (looking at you wa…

Quote from Fabrizziou: “boi if we change for example the dragon leap dash for a movement speed buff (like 10-15% speed that lasts 2-3 sec on... idk 8-10 sec cd?) it's still braindead mobility right? ” Look no further than cartwheel. If you really want to have mobility on Q it absolutely must be CONDITIONAL, free-cast Q mobility is a massive no-no.

Quote from The_Support_God: “Various individual adjustments to how knocking enemies up translates into knockback DR ” I'm gonna burst out into unmanageable laughter if they actually use the animation vertical transpose values in KB DR.

Getting cyberbullied? Just turn off your screen. Exactly the reason 2k22 people get told to touch grass.

SBI's tendency to release new content instead of fixing old content, and leaving everything half-baked anyways is astonishing, to say the least.

Quote from Blenfjorn: “So even if the 8.4 can defeat 1 or 2 opponents, he risks getting swarmed by all 5 or 6 other people in there ” If you want to address the issue of N vs N+1 - AoE escalation might be a better topic than IP scaling. Quote from Blenfjorn: “He may kill 3-4 of them but he is probably still going to die and lose all of that ” Killing 2 people with more than half of the "reinforcements" seems like massive power creep don't you think? Again, I am not arguing to flat-out cut the di…
