Game Mechanics: Enchanter getting destroyed

Vaut420 · #1 06-24-2014, 11:09 PM

My enchanter is being destroyed by melee now. yesterday i was able to pull a large portion of unrest and tank it. today i'm pull 1/3 of that and having to be healed 3-4 times because i nearly die.... green mobs are hitting me for max more often... wtf.

well u wear cloth...think about how protective a cotton shirt or silk robe is versus a steel sword

and from the patch today

Haynar: Fixes for AC being low.

Vaut420 · #3 06-24-2014, 11:19 PM

i have 600 ac... and the mobs are green.

Erati · #4 06-24-2014, 11:24 PM

600 cloth AC < 600 chain AC < 600 plate AC in terms of mitigation %s

those percentages were obviously tweaked in the patch....

ur gonna need to do more research than "greens are hitting me very hard this isnt right"

well i was hoping someone else had noticed this. as for research i can't really do any. I was simply stating that things are different from yesterday. I do feel that as a 53 enchanter i shouldn't be taking such high damage from green mobs.

For instance, i pulled 5 mobs , 3 carrion ghouls a drybone , darkbone at 100% by the time i got out of the house i was at 50% health....

You're not the only one complaining of this. We had the same team of people camping the basement today and experienced much higher damages than were normal. It felt like even our pets were getting harder. A druid in the forums also had an issue with this.

None of our team used any kind of parsing tool before the patch, though, so it is impossible for us to compare now.

This is all due to AC. This was an intentional change.

I remember back in the day 1999/2000 i played an enchanter and used to come PL the same way i have been and didn't get beat down like this.

Get an enchanter to that level / gear and test it on live.

I did that with guards and got Grobb fixed. See what you might find.
