What happened to the Enchanted Eye of Syrillax?

[Idly]

This is why the system update comes with a post on the forums, so that you can see the changes for yourself. Afterwards it's a matter of first come first serve, like everything else in the game.

If you're the first to get to the post, then you're the first to take advantage of the information.

Is it fair? Yes, because the system announcement says to check the forums for the update details, which is available to everyone.

If they don't have a forums account, don't bother to check fast enough, or are just too lazy to read it until the update is done, then it's a personal issue, but I feel the chances for everyone are equal.

I agree to a point however it's

'System- Update, server going down for maintenance in 15 minutes'

which for 15 minutes doesn't say check the forum's. And ofcourse there are a lot of people who aren't on the forum's. Tbh it doesn't really affect me as I myself profit quite often from being a forum member, last time it was double chance shard I managed to snag 7 EGDC Before they were al re listed for 400k+, However it should be announced as publicly and to as many
people as possible sheerly in the interest of fair play.

Hello folks. Thanks for your patience as we discussed this item behind the scenes. We wanted to make sure that we made the decision that was ultimately best for the game and the community. Here is the latest:

The Enchanted Eye of Syrillax will be updated in the next data push (Thursday 12/18). The gem will follow a similar formula as the Paracelsus Gem in that the first socketed gem will give better stats than any subsequent gems.

The gem will now give the following stats on lvl 41 items:

1st Gem: 3/3/3 DEX/INT/STR and +0.97% crit PLUS a 1.16% crit bonus
2nd Gem: 3/3/3 DEX/INT/STR and +0.97% crit

and so on.

We hope this answers your feedback and suggestions in a way that makes this gem worth the grind to Platinum. It's certainly not easy to get there! And the reward should reflect that.

Thank you for taking action.
I was hoping to get little stat bonus, however, since this gem is crit themed, crit boost would be fine.
But 1.16 seems to little.
Para gave 2+5 which was 2.5 times (plus bonus dmg).
Maybe at least 2.5 crits would be reasonable Imo(I would like to have 5 tho. Xp)

Is this 1.16 crit will be scaled by lvl?

But thank you so much for listening to community, however I don't think this update would encourage people to reach Plat more. :/

It could have been slightly bigger buff, but a buff is anything better than before, so thank you STS

[twoxc]

was hoping a bit more .97+1.16=2.13 hmm make it 2.5-3.00 please xD.

[Chirurgienne]

I expected a bit more too, make crit a bit more. This not enough interesting
Even for low levels 0,47 +1,16 still low (lvl 15 example)

[Thrindal]

I think the new stats are a reasonable compromise. Stick to your guns STS, final update. I'll socket one, probably not more.

Thanks

Need I remind you guys about parcelsus gem. Require 4500 It only takes 45 run by having someone kill paracelsus only cause you get 100 point each. This on the other hand require 5600 and 87 for guardian and it's not as easy to find as paracelsus. Mainly only get 52 from syrillax. It's DOUBLE the energy cost plus more points require. Is this really the best sts can do on the first gem slot? 3.00 or is much more reasonable like paracelsus stone which give like 30-40dmg first gem

Can someone explain me how this works? I missed Halloween event, so not sure how para scaling works. The first socketed gem gives us bonus crit, but is it the first for ur entire toon or is it the first for every item that ur wearing?

If i have 5 lvl 41 items with one eye in each of them do i get that extra bonus x 5?

[Energizeric]

Crit points mean more than damage points as they are a percentage, not a total.

For example, most level 41s have over 500 damage. That means a +1% increase in your damage would be +5 damage. A 1% increase in your crit is +1%.

So +1% crit is much more than +1 damage.

Yes, this gem is clearly not as powerful as a Para gem, but then again we are also given a recipe here to craft extras, where as the para gems we got one single gem each and that was it. But don't confuse yourself into thinking +2.13% crit is nothing. That is a huge bonus for a single gem.

Arent crit points indication of ur chance to crit rather than multiplayer of ur base dmg? Having crit 50% means that for every 10 shots u should statistically crit 5 times, right?

Yes, but how much extra damage those critical hits cause depends on your class and which skill you are using. If I remember correctly, at a minimum a critical hit gives around 40% extra damage, and for some skills like a rogue's aimed shot, it multiplies many times. Sorcerers can hit 150% extra damage on a critical hit with lightning strike. I'm not sure if warriors have any such skill like that, I don't think so.

So for warriors, crit is less important, but for rogues 1% crit may be equal to 2-3% damage boost. A while back I did the calculations for my sorcerer build, and figured out that 1% crit was roughly equal to 1% damage, or roughly 7 damage points at level 41.

Yes. The paracelsus stone damage was run through the bonus damage multiplier, resulting in, as Twoxc said, approximately 40 damage at level 41 for the first gem. This increased damage applies to every single hit.

Increasing crit does not make your crits do more damage, it only relates to frequency, and not every crit goes high. 2% means mathematically that you will get 2 more crits per 100 shots.

For a gem like this, the first gem shouldn't mean a loss when using it. So, I would suggest perhaps +4/+4/+4 & .97 crit + 1.16% crit for first gem.

This seems reasonable, correct?

Like this one. XD

Sadly, either way it's not really good for warrior Imo.

Hold firm STS...

Sometimes when you play a game you will lose.

Thanks for returning first gem to its original stats, and additional thanks for posting that as and edit as well as on the thread
