i started with soulfist from lvl 0 dudes i had no idea that game sucks so much until i got alts and saw how easy was with others.
i just don’t get it why to nerf all F skills because of some futuristic KR build
why do we have around 17 skills if more likely 10 skills are f garbages
at 1650 on spec u will have 14.6 downtime on a boosted hype that lasts 20 sec:)
20 sec doesn’t get boosted
as the boosted dmg reaches 120% for 20 sec, with the 14.6 downtime, u will get probably more dmg if u use a dmg multiplier engraving, robust spirit is additive to hype, not a multiplier
Don’t forget for EO Soulfist that we also got a huge nerf because they removed the pet trick awakening animation skip.
Our dominion relic buff reset now takes a few seconds, which can be really bad during a fight as you are mostly dependent on your conviction / judgement proc (on hype 2).
Definitely a huge nerf as well. This was shadow patched at Scouter class release.
Soulfist is OP AF atm, so they nerf her.
And it’s just 2,8 because the class itself is in minority and SG doesn’t want to decrease SF population even more.
Don’t listen to that Spulberizer BS. One of our guildmate is playing SF and he has CRUEL most of the time. When boosting guild alts through oreha hard he burns seto down in phase 1 and albion before he pops star mechanic.
If you’re not satisfied with yours it’s probably some build or gameplay flaw.
are you serious? that’s what i am seeing “a build” that’s the problem why is decreasing dmg for all skills and not on some skills, so we can freaking have more to choose from different playstile
The nerf is indeed cause of gear we dont have yet.
But this will not turn her into complete trash…
Yes if u played the class a lot and know when to pop and cancel hype its possible to get consisntent cruel/MVP and it should be like that.
Issnt that the point of playing a DD well?
That dont make her OP and needs no nerf.
Why sorc doesn’t get a nerf as well then?
depending on raid/boss i have a realy hard time even to get close dmgwise to my equally geared ignitersorc buddy. it mostly comes down to a fully buffed crit on first/second spiritbomb. assumed both of us having close to flawless rotations during the fight. (speaking of RO SF, were both 1500+ 5x3 and 9ergems on maindps skills)
But its odd they wanted to make the class more versatile eg. ended up with a flat +7% excluding awakening. Now -2.8% including awakening. straight up a nerf for robust, not that much but it is one. They shoud have gone more into the skills and possible rotations. It would help a lot giving SF critsyn or extend energyreleaseduration by 1 sec. would take such things over a flat dmg increase/decrease anytime
wut. I wouldn’t call her easy to play. This class can be very punishing. Literally any skill except of energy blast has no protection. And the “hard” hitting stuff is close combat.
Things you have to keep in mind as a RS Soulfist:
You need to anticipate the boss movement or you will waste 30+ second damage
Don’t get hit while performing either shadowbreak, energy release or Merciless Pummel. Otherwise your damage is close to zero
I mean I do enjoy the class but I really don’t get the nerf. Then I switch to my striker and i am getting a 130% mult buff for 4 orbs that i can fill up with 1 1/2 skills :D. Blasting 100+ millions (if crits) every 20 seconds.
The only way to get a chance of mvp is when all my spirit bombs crit during raid or with the new mvp screen if i outperform with counters.
Why you guys even talk about soulfist in general?
Energy Overflow and Robust Spirit is a completely different gameplay.
First is fast skill spammer, second one relies on Awakening that has fked up casting time.
I understand why EO got nerfed, but why Robust has to suffer in the process? We have to wait with awakening till boss gets staggered. And then still timing is tight. Especially if we concider that Hype has to be still on when that bomb finally hits the target.
At least take away 2 sec out of that awakening or switch it to holding attack so we can decide if we want to cast it earlier with not fully charged dmg.
I still like to have Soulfists in my groups , who cares about mediocre dmg instead top tier , her Group synergy and kit is the reason you take the soulfist isnt it ?
