Am I the only one who thinks that 31 mythics should NOT be better than 36 BIS legendaries.

Why not simply make NEW mythics? It can't be that difficult.

Not the running away part, we'll take a look at that when we're in the office next week

Also, I think you guys actually BUFFED the 36 Devourer bows instead of nerfing them:

Level 36 before update

Level 36 after update

The bows across the board had a bug in them when we looked into them. Unfortunate as it can be, it was a significant bug.

**Zanpakuto** · 08-30-2013, 05:15 PM

Are there seriously no plans on buffing the mythic sword? Great now there's two OP weapons for sorcer and rogue, but warriors are getting phased out unless you have the arcane hammer. I hope STS figures out what to do with the Warriors because as it is, I can see there's going to be a decrease in their numbers!

Well, thanks, I guess :\ All bows are completely useless now except for mythic and Lvl 36 Devourer bows. I'm just gonna sell mine now lol >_>

Also, are bows, weapons and guns going to loot again?

People are not very interested in opening crates, there should be a promo soon

The Mythic Warrior Sword 'n Shield is a defensive set up. If you want it to be an offensive powerhouse, I'm sorry, it isn't designed to be that.

Send me friend requests to power level me please.

It seems that STS cannot change the stats of a weapon at a certain level without changing it for all levels. Apparently there is a formula that calculates the stats of each weapon based on its level. So if they nerf the formula, then all level versions of that weapon get nerfed. If they buff the formula, then all level versions of that weapon get buffed.

Then it would have made sense to buff the mythic bow rather than nerfing all the bows. This will unbalance everything especially in pvp for lower levels. And now our level 36 bows actually have LESS damage than our Bonechill ones did at level 31? I'd like to know how STS thinks we are supposed to kill elite bosses? A group of us (three in upgraded mythics) just tried and it wasn't possible to do enough damage to even kill the addons, let alone the boss.

**Deadmanvolley** · 08-30-2013, 07:22 PM

HEY! the rogue Status are Fuked Up all the bows are down now WTF?! only myth rogue's are the hitters now the other is nothing on the game WTF?!??!

**Jetzzz** · 08-30-2013, 07:27 PM

Lowering damage output of bonechil and devo simply means make warior the king of twinks. It will be reallllllyyyy hard to kill warior on low level - medium pvp lv. Please make better analysis if you want to update something, becoz AL is quite complex

What about the Arcane Hooks? They were stated to last 3 expansions as being the best in their class. Now that it's the 3rd expansion, they aren't quite the best in their class anymore.

**Aublane** · 08-30-2013, 07:49 PM

Oh great so now that I've worked so hard on my dmg it goes down for about 10 pts, I'm 33 and from 31 I've only lost dmg. That lvl36 bow made my dmg like 300 before now it's much less I was soo looking forward to having such a dmg but now this.. Seriously lvl 31 bow more powerful than lvl 36? I mean I know it's mythic but cmon..

**christiney** · 08-30-2013, 07:55 PM

Hermit achievement still have bug, it can't be complete.
By the way, i'ved already upgraded mythic armor and helm before this update.

Can I ask what specifically the bug was?

Whatever you changed, perhaps it can account for some of the odd things I've been seeing during gameplay. For some reason, arrows are shooting from either within or from several feet behind my character, rather than at the tip of the bow. The speed of chaining shots has also decreased dramatically. No longer can I triple shot reliably (by triple shot I mean chaining an uncharghed nox/shadow onto charged AS, followed by a reg shot). Also, there is now a short half-second pause between release of charge and actual release of arrow. It wasn't like that this morning.

My ping is consistently 30-50, so I don't think it's lag.

EDIT:

Also, Architect daggers only 5 damage less than Devourer of potency? WTH?

I reiterate, bite the bullet, put Devourer back the way it was, and do one of the following: make new 36 mythics, make current mythics upgradeable, or overpower their procs.

A significant bug that lasted for 4 months during a whole campaign? A significant bug that was right on the screen of every rogue who had a bow? This wasn't hidden. There were threads on why the bow only had 4 more damage than the best pink bow while the mythic gun had 50 more than the best pink gun.

Instead of buffing them just nerf the pink daggers. It seems like if u don't have mythics then u aren't worth much.

That's not quite true. Many of the really excellent pvp rogues didn't use mythic bows last season, simply because it wasn't a big enough step up from bonechill to be worth the money.
