Belcorwyn Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Is Wither properly scaling up for you guys with Mounting Darkness and the recent buff added with patch 1.1? I ask because by looking at the TOR Head calculators and comparing them to my current 31/0/10 build, I don't see the 30% + 15% increase that Wither is supposed to have. The skill still shows default damage in my tooltip and I'm doing around 800 damage non-crit. Shouldn't I be doing 1200 (average) non-crit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daltin Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I didn't notice this myself. Harnessed Darkness isn't gaining charges with Wither as well. It seems they really messed up Wither's buffs in 1.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestrodomus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yeah mine nearly doubled. I did the new FP in hard mode last night and I was hitting 3-4 mobs for 1.1K+ quite a bit compared to the typical 5-600 I was getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrodomus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm not entirely sure because there was a lot going on. I noticed the lowest I was hitting for was about 850, although it's tough to sort out all the numbers flying up with your active spells, passive stuff like dark charge damage/heals, harnessed dark heal numbers, and team mate heals.

gtamour Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Were you noticing the 800 hits in PVP or PVE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrodomus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I only ran the new FP on normal then hard last night. Didn't get into a match, but I will when I get home today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belcorwyn Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Were you noticing the 800 hits in PVP or PVE? PvE I dont think it every did/is intended to... would be seriously OP if so considering the CD on wither. But then why have a skill that increases the damage output by 10% per point, up to three points? And why advertise a 15% damage increase to the skill in the Patch Notes? It's the capstone ability of the Darkness Tree, and if it worked as advertised, it would be balanced against Deception's Voltaic Slash, another capstone ability. I'm not entirely sure because there was a lot going on. I noticed the lowest I was hitting for was about 850, although it's tough to sort out all the numbers flying up with your active spells, passive stuff like dark charge damage/heals, harnessed dark heal numbers, and team mate heals. I'm not fully geared, so my mileage is probably less than the status quo, but I average 800 and crit for around 1.1k, which is why I ask. I believe I should be hitting for 1.1k or 1.2k, and critting for 1.6-1.8k. Edited January 19, 2012 by Belcorwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoguexA Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Considering that 15% of Wither's min-damage pre-1.1 was only something around 90 points or so, I haven't noticed that much of a big difference post 1.1 PvE. This was with Mounting Darkness Specc'd, of course. Edited January 19, 2012 by RoguexA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senul Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The Tooltips been buffed and it was hitting around 600ish this morning and now its hitting closer to 1kish. So i think its been buffed in the little mini patch today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrodomus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 No one else was getting 1K+ plus regularly last night? I'm 31/0/10, ~1,100 willpower and 15% crit with Wither feated out, but I was getting a lot more than that, on a consistent basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daltin Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I dont think it every did/is intended to... would be seriously OP if so considering the CD on wither. Patch 1.1 introduced the updated tooltip that says it should, however. To go from not saying it at all, to saying "Shock and Wither" can't be accidental.

Astarica Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Wither did 15% more damage than it did before 1.1. The tooltip for me used to be around 1000 and now it's 1100ish, so I see no reason to not believe that it does 15% more damage. The Harnessed Darkness talent claims to get a charge from Wither but this is definitely not the case. Since Wither never give extra charges of HD I assume it's either a typo, or something they intended to add to buff Wither but never implemented.

XxCRAFTYxX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You know it occured to me that it would be hilarious if they buffed the tooltips to make us think we were better but in reality we were exactly the same...placebo buff for the win.....
