Default Why nerf spell damage

What was so broken about spell damage that lead to them nerfing it to 60% or whatever it is? I wasn’t around back then so I really don’t know…

Were casters just so OP compared to melee when it really came down to it?

It just seems really harsh to wizards who have little else going for them than spell damage.

unmitigated spell damage is extremely high compared to player hp in every single era except for top end velious gearing

wizards are very good despite the damage nerf

It’s this reason.

Casters OP except top end kunark and then top velious they’re lamed a bit versus super high resists full dragon person but still shred normal geared people (mostly)

Once they fix bows they will possibly revert caster damage back to 100%.

“Top end kunark” wizards are quite possibly the #1 pvp class, don’t comment if you don’t play or are this bad at the game
