1.3.6 career changes

Close Quarters has been redesigned. It will now cause your abilities to build up 50% faster when your enemy target is within feet 20 of you, and no longer has a penalty.

at least its 0sec cast shattered shadows or doombolts now with FM up

Insta cast doombolts is fucking evil, nobody can survive it even with 3 healers.....not sure it's a nerf tbh.

its a bombing nerf, not a ST nerf :P

but as said, insta cast SS could be amusing

oh btw, what a lot of people are saying on the forum (correctly) is that now rdps dmg is reduced by 25% in pve

so what happens with the tovl dps race bosses? dont bring a rpds?

20' radius is tiny. This will hurt ST damage too. They should have just removed the tactic tbh.

I would think that since the DPS races are single target doombolt spam will actually increase your DPS? Or am I missing something?

Assisting st sorcs/bws, gonna be nasty.

I dont think this is gonna be much of a nerf, just means a change of playstyle. Just might mean a little more strategy is required than running around in a blob with all the dmg coming through 1 bw/sorc

you could spam doombolt anyway with either 5p tyrant (yeah none of us are at that stage yet) or using focused mind (10s every minute) and its decent dps

but the best ST damage has always been (and will continue to be) a rotation, so you load your dots up on the mob and then let rip with the db spam as the dots keep ticking and for the same cast time (GCD is 1.5s which is the same as a 50% or even 100% db) they will, when left to run their full course, do more damage
