Maybe It's the loss of Rating and not the Elemental nerfed?

That is why I liked to use a full Elemental setup when doing BT and IWBTH. The damage increase to all my elemental spells was good but it was never what you could get by going with a EDB setup. Less damage to all spells was of more use then just doing great damage to one spell. Now with the same setup the damage is a joke. You've increased the max EDB if you can find it, but why nerf elemental gear damage so much?

The future of proficiency gear looks bleak. But according to the patch notes it wasn't nerfed. It still affects damage in the same way. More precisely:

Proficiency still affects proc chances as before, and magical proficiencies have not been changed.

It's probably the loss of rating..

But I'm expecting some unfair change in proficiency equip. Like one of those base max increases to screw even my last decent phase. Would be even worse since proficiency phase doesn't drop any longer.
Maybe we're lucky and he increases the scaling factor though. Or how and what elementalist affects.

I feel like I've been dodging the worst of these nerfs by the skin of my teeth each and every time. With the 0.5.2 changes, I went from one-shot clears on hard back to one-shot clears on normal with my destruction staff. With the 0.5.3 changes, I manage to barely hang on being able to one-shot (kinda) with arcane focus, but still getting more bruises thanks to big losses on my magic hit-chance.

Either way, I'm probably on my last straw. If Tenboro introduces another nerf with 0.5.4, I just might have to do something drastic and crazy. Like switch over to melee.

I switched to melee today and it kinda sucked. I almost forgot how to do it.

is the wiki just trolling tenboro?

Yes.

I decided to play with some numbers using a fictional user (Hell if Tenboro can use magnificent so I can (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) using the max know stats at conquest thread.
Here's some data,
Before patch:
l300, 300 staff/cloth/elemental proficiency, 300 supportive (giving +22% MDM of AF), 45% rating,+10% MDM from aura, +10% from Godslayer, and finally a destruction staff + full EDB gear (max elemental proficiency, EDB, MDM)
MAX power multiplier:18.57x

After patch:
l300, 300 staff(+15%MDM)/elemental proficiency, 300 supportive (giving +22% MDM of AF),+10% MDM from aura, +10% from Godslayer, and finally a destruction staff + full EDB gear (max elemental proficiency, EDB(*1.5 in the armor), MDM)
MAX power multiplier:16.55x

So there's a loss of ~12.2% in power.

But what if the proficiency rules didn't change (All gear with stats 30% bigger, and -15% MDM)
MAX power multiplier:: 20.59x

Lol he would gain ~10.9% power instead (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I switched back to mage. I like my Magnificent staffs too much.

Oh, and I actually got a maze today in the arena that was slightly difficult. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Longest you've gone without triggering puzzle.
> 160 rounds + whatever # of rounds I did yesterday since my last puzzle (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Is it just me or the odds of meeting a custom monster in arenas have been significantly reduced ? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I just noticed the new(?) desciptions on the infusions. Nice.

I am just shocked when i see Frith's phase robe of owl.
If that's a phase robe of fox it will have ridiculously high INT.
I have to change my expectation on fox phases...

I've been surprised by the Phase stuff myself. I had a Fair Phase Cap of Mjolnir yesterday and I think it had an EDB of something like 28. I can't find the link because I swapped it for 600 crystals so neet132435 has it now.

If you remember correctly, then that phase cap may have almost max EDB right now.
It just seems to me that going into a particular element is doomed after the recent patches.
I need to try creatively to solve this problem.

Mix and match maybe, 3 EDB pieces for maximizing first strike damage and 2 elementalist/fox pieces for clean-up. Then again I only play on hard X(

Would you mind not spamming here?

What am I'm missing? I've been ignoring new dawn for hundreds of levels, and I don't care about 500 C, but I do care about my hath. So, what's wrong with it? Help me please. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Yeah I know that. But I didn't get the new dawn event. At all. You know.. that message.. journey, new dawn, +500 credits, +1 hath.
Didn't see it today. Only random monster battles.
