willfarlow Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I've read some stuff about the "class fixes" coming in 2.4, and I admit I'm probably woefully under-informed, but how are they supposed to work? Are some classes going to go "down" in power and others "up" to try and level the playing field for the PVP folks, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVitrial Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Class balancing is coming in 2.5, not 2.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willfarlow Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Class balancing is coming in 2.5, not 2.4. Do you know where I can get any more details about what the deal is? Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warshades Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 there are a few tweeks in 2.4, nothing major. Eric posted that they are holding off on major class balances till after 2.4 Most think this means either 2.5 or 2.6 but I dont think its been stated. What has been stated is that they want to see the effects of Arenas before they make any changes. As per your other question. There is very little information about what changes we might see. You would need to read the class question responses to get an idea of how the Devs view the classes weaknesses or strengths to get an idea of what they might or might not change. A good example would be the scoundrel post. Several hints were given on what they are looking at like changing the set bonuses or altering their quick shots to be a more functional filler attack. They also talked about changing Freighter Flyby to be more useful but less damaging. What over all changes will see for 2.5 or 2.6, well just have to wait and see.

Warshades Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 You are correct sir, class changes are coming in 2.5. But then we can also say the same about 2.4 What was said was that in 2.5 SOME classes will receive changes, and would be first in line with Class Rep questions following 2.5. They also stated that those changes would not be significant like we saw in 2.0 but rather a "new" set of changes. This leads me to believe that the changes in 2.4 will be similar to the changes we see in 2.5. Expect changes to op/scoundrels dps and perhaps shadow/assassins. Maybe even Sage/Sorcs if they are lucky. There will probably be minor tweeks here and there for other classes but doubtful they will have significant impact. It was stated early on not to expect "crazy big changes." They would then revisit class balance after we have seen the changes. This is why many of us assume 2.6 would also sponsor class changes. Though that part is just conjecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
