Chaith.8256 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 In PvP, Light Strike does 40% less now.But so does Bright Slash and Flash Cutter (the second and third chain skills!The whole damage chain was nerfed by 40%, the tooltips don't reflect this, and it seems unintended. Game breaking and needs immediate hotfix, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolguy.8702 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Might not be a bug, maybe they felt the autos were too strong ig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coro.3176 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Ugh. I assumed they nerfed the first hit in the chain so you didn't "accidentally" get too much free damage as you autoattack after some other skill (eg. holo leap), you would have to keep auto-attacking to put up good numbers.If they nerfed the whole chain, that's going to be a huge problem.

The light strike nerf was reasonable, since it was a relatively free hit after other attacks, but the rest of the chain was not a free hit.

Chaith.8256 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 I think this will destroy Holosmith for a lot of people this season, myself included. I'll play Scrapper for sure if my Photon Forge basic damage flavor is bugged-wet-noodle. For those that wanted to play Holosmith in ranked season but now can't or don't, NaCl levels will be significant..I hope hotfix and a step up to QA will follow soon.

Julius Seizure.4985 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I was wondering why Holo felt completely gutted in WvW and PvP. This is a massive bug and basically makes the class unplayable in competitive modes. AOE cleave damage is all the class brings, and the auto chain is the biggest part of that.

zoopop.5630 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 sadly, With how things are AA is 100% needed the overall 40% lost on ALL strikes style from photo is just to big. I'm gonna have to agree and possibly stick to scrapper for the mean while till that gets fix. Imo their both in between the same tier at the moment, Engi overall is in a REALLY bad state.

LilBiM.3581 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Also, while we are on the topic of broken Holo, please fix Enhanced Capacity Storage Unit (PvE, WvW, PvP) since it doesn't give might at set intervals when over 100 heat.

Chaith.8256 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hahaha. I hate Holosmith with the flimsy auto-attacks, all the builds I like involve a good bit of quickness auto-attacking. Can't wait for a fix so I can enjoy the spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
