View Full Version : Did the single blade dmg go down?

I created a bunch of different stated custom builds and single blade and dual frameworks as well as the prebuilt single blade and dualblade framework, and I've noticed repers attacks are much weaker than when I ran several chars through the beta test. So I'm curious if I just remembered wrong or the single target abilities are doing less damage the only change I can't check is I usually used a the custom builds with the other numbers the ones with the +10 mains and +6 for the lesser stats.

I rolled a single blade and I swear I was just hitting in the arena for 1-3 dmg on an electric that wasn't even blocking. Meanwhile I'm getting hit for 400-900 dmg with reflexes and balanced.

I always pick the fail classes. Time to roll FOTM Fire.

I haven't picked up single blades since OB. It's had a roller coaster ride of broken dots in CB, and then being reasonably underpowered in OB. I find it strange that they might make it worse :S.

Try duel blades, that's not so bad. Don't go near claws, unless they have made them 100% better in the recent patches.

Dual blades is my primary but I liked that I could kill singles off that were too tough for my dual blades. I was just curious what happened?

all the martial arts sets have had a decrease in their damage numbers, no word from the devs still about why or if it's a bug or intended...

They tweaked the numbers.
One skill, it was either Scything or Reaper's embrace went from 91 to 77 at rank 1. Reason I recall, is because I'd purchased it just a short while prior to the change, and had been really comparing varying powers to see what would benefit me most.
