frontal attacks guaranteed to hit, but they're talking about getting above 100 pct hit chances?

Hit rate depends on monster level and facing it seems.


No need to worry about raids he says.

Acc being replaced with "Direct Hit".

DPS only.

New Stat: Direct hit

DPS gear only, like a more likely crit that does less damage.

Better for sustained DPS

direct hits are mini-crits, i guess.

So Direct Hits are basically mini-crits?

Positioning and accuracy still mattering but out of the players hands so they don't have to worry about it is perfect

Direct Hits are like medium crits but more frequent so you can try have more common Direct Hits as opposed to rarer but bigger crits.

Direct and Crits can happen on the same attack

There is wrath, it's just a bar that goes up to 10 stacks, as opposed to a stacking buff that goes up to 5.

Infuriate only added 5 stacks. (or 50 to the bar.)

He used it at 50%, so we don't know if it adds 50 or he just wasted 50. :v:

STR will affect damage again, but accessories are getting role-locked.

That makes sense. Piety melding is one of those weird DPS things that probably makes balance harder.

"People are commenting on the PVP, we'll be commenting on that soon"

It's fine, no need.
Use the time on the real cool stuff you're on about already.




Seriously though, if they'd focused on this stuff at the fanfests and saved this for the boring poo poo, I'd have been super interested in SB and probably would have re-subbed long ago

I don't get it, doesn't it already? I thought tanks got equal damage from Str and Vit (but Vit also added HP so it was better in a vacuum)

I gotta say it's weird to see a game designer who responds to player complaints with "okay we'll get rid of it" rather than by coyly designing increasingly elaborate workarounds in order to pretend that the initial thing was secretly a good idea.

lack of str on tanks is going to lead to fairly squished tank damage, especially if for some reason vit doesn't affect damage any more.

str used to affect damage from all melee classes, not just ones that used it as their mainstat, iirc.
