modified Endurance (in Changelog)

reduced damage reduction to about 75% of what it was

cap is now 0.75 instead of 0.7

in other words, endurance will now do better against small amounts of damage and worse against large amounts

did you have to post this as i was posting a sale thread dang

Oh, yes, i get to post right after Jon for once!

NOOOOO, curse you Unbreakable

Yup just flying through those changes ;-)

interesting concept--- makes it easier for newer players in the long run.

A bunch of ToE's get put into auctions and then nerfed while they are still in auction?
/me whistles incredulously...

barron....duh ;) thats how cb works...didn't ya know?

Nothing beats when tons of people bought the new CoBF supporter item, which got nerfed a week later. Classic Jon.

If i understand this, ultimately i can block more damage with my ToE, but it will take me longer to cap out? Essentially its a better reason to have a high leveled ToE.

To me it sounds like more of a ToJ nerf than a ToE nerf (as they train Endurance alot slower). Me thinks this change will help my little guy in the long run, so i tentitively say "Thanks again Jon :) ".

There goes my chance of snagging one of the ToEs in auctions :(

"reduced damage reduction to about 75% of what it was"

That there is a nerf.

Hmm, I'm am confused, as normal, it seems.

1. Damage reduced by the ToE is about 75% of what it used to be. So, if endurance capped out at 70% damage reduction before, now it caps out at 0.7 x 0.75 = 0.52% damage?

2. If #1 is correct, then the "cap of 0.75 instead of 0.70 " makes no sense.

So, where did I screw up in my comprehension?

Where it used to block a thousand points of a certain hit, now it only blocks 750 points. And where, at a certain level, it was blocking a max of 7,000 points, now it blocks a max of 7500 points at that level. Is that clearer?

Maybe 75% effectiveness was removed so its like a younger ToE now. But the cap is up to .75. So, overall, it may not be so bad at all. Just currently evens out the playing field a little.

its 75% of where it was, if i was blocking 400% of your damage (which would show up at 70% due to the cap), now i'm blocking 300% (which is now 75% due to the cap).

End result, i win.

If iwas blocking 50% of your damage before, now i'm blocking 37.5% of your damage.

End result, give me time.



Essentially Endurance has a higher upside, but it will take longer to realize its full potential against a specific damage range.

A clearer example:

Say my ToE used to block 40000 damage. Now it blocks 30000.

But if you were only dealing 10000 damage normally (less than my full blocking potential), i was blocking 7000 damage, now i'm blocking 7500 damage.
