As long as the overall goal - namely to make previously useless items useful (or at least more useful) - is achieved, well done. I use gardes and if this upcoming rebalance means we see more amarr and caldari drones being used, that's got to be good for the game.Heretic Caldarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015635188565858672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068894994922552535.post-63000268625921187252014-04-03T12:05:33.744+11:002014-04-03T12:05:33.744+11:00I first saw it on serpentine logic.
Confirmed by ...I first saw it on <a href="http://serpentinelogic.wordpress.com/2014/04/02/devpost-avalanche/" rel="nofollow">serpentine logic</a>.<br /><br />Confirmed by CCP at <a href="https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4426759#post4426759" rel="nofollow">https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4426759#post4426759</a><br />Assuming max skills including racial drones:<br />Curator II - +15% tracking, -50% falloff, +8.31% damage<br />Warden II - +40% falloff, +2.67% damage<br />Garde II - +50% falloff, -6.5% damage<br />Bouncer II - +60% tracking, -12.5% optimal, +14.3% falloff, -5.71% damage<br /><br />Essentially T2 gardes and bouncers are not being fully buffed to counter the drone interfacing nerf. The other T2 sentries get a larger buff, but still will be less DPS than Gardes. Light, medium and heavies will be tweaked so that t2's will remain unaffected.Foohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444693774790165427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068894994922552535.post-73966258890085727792014-04-03T09:02:11.849+11:002014-04-03T09:02:11.849+11:00How do you figure Gallente T2 Sentries are being n...How do you figure Gallente T2 Sentries are being nerfed?<br /><br />I see nothing in the dev blog about a 7% damage nerf to Gardes.<br /><br />The increase over T1 damage is going down for all T2 sentry drones and will require racial specialization skill (+2% damage per level) but the base damage of T1 (which that 2%/lvl increase is based upon) is also going up to compensate.MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.com
