they nerf shock nova this week and another major ability becomes dominant. In turn everyone uses fire (just an example). Other classes can;t keep up because they didn;t spec into dmg and they complain. Nerf Fire etc...

Fire gets nerfed and another ability takes precedence. All the whiners complain about new ability.

Point is by Nerfing down you are effectively bringing all other abilities in the game down to the weakest abilities level.

This hasn't happened. yet!!

Why don;t you people go and try using your brain instead of arguing with someone about feedback on a topic that you are apparently too much of a newb to understand.

It's statements like this that make you come off as a complaining whiner. People do, in fact, understand your point.

You're just jumping the gun, crying that the sky is falling (or may potentially fall in the future) because of one event that was completely necessary for game balance. You can't have a trend with just one datum.

My original post does make it sound like complaint but it wasn't my intention. I was hoping to get a decent amount of people to talk about the topic instead of having people with no life browse the forums looking for people to try to knock.

I posted this now because Balance is the next patch. Post is supposed to be for feedback on the topic. I'm not gonna wait til after the patch and post nothing now, than complain about stuff later.

yes 70lvl nova sorc with 20 lvl skill gems should feel strong vs 58 lvl mobs and thats how it should be, marauder cant kill shit in chaos even with perf gear and 10+ lvls while nova can doesnt mean nova is OP, more like marauder needs buffs(whole melee is a joke atm).

Finally some common sense!!

Godssend, you're playing an early beta build. They don't even have all the base content in the game yet. Of course they're going to have to nerf things. It's a beta.

I'm sure they're aware how much players hate nerfs. That's game dev 101. That's (partly) why there's a beta in the first place, because they want the game to be well tuned out of the gates, when the game launches.

If you're going to complain about nerfs in a beta patch then maybe you should just wait until the game goes into open beta in ~Jan. There are going to be more major nerfs coming, for sure. There's no avoiding them. That's what they mean when they say they want beta testers to test balance.

So?
I've no problems with buffing melees however Godssend hinted that they changed shock nova to the bad and as you do know that's wrong.
Shock nova is still fine.

if you check through the forums older posts you can see that i posted about this exact same subject long before they ever announced any sort of nerf. Im not mad i got nerfed... (I didn't).

Wait until open beta so i can sit back and wait for all of the useless feedback to allow the game to be ruined (NOT SAYING THE GAME IS GOING TO BE RUINED).

Tons of MMO come out and fail. Why? Because they take it the completely wrong direction.

People want to feel powerful (all of the original complaints weren't really about shock's damage, they were about how weak other chars are comparatively). These people think they're powerful, see a nova sorc and say "WOW, i wanna do that but can't" (I did...) When they don;t see any light at the end of the tunnel for their chars to do the same thing the whole 3 year old "It's not fair" thing starts.

Again I posted about this EXACT SAME SUBJECT long before the patch or any word of it.

Awesome gear and high level with good build should be OVERPOWERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
