Increased VB base to 63. This brings the AC level for "VB better than ELS" to 246.
(Before March, this AC level was 110.)
Thanks Jon, sounds a little more 'balanced' now :)
Just fought some battles and my average damage is back to around 30k which is 5-10k lower than previous, seems like a perfect reduction level.
Quite a bit actually, went from being a paperweight to something that can be used, albeit not as good as some other choices out there.

246 is about an above average AC Wall. But fine that's fine by me. Its just a supporter item.

Did we lose the vorpalness of the VB?

Another set of hits vs Freed's 420 AC minion without a TOE.
With 50% vorpalness I should do more.

Well done making the base a bit higher.

Thanks Jon. I think this is much better.
It may not be "the best" now but it's definitely an option again.
Now it's a strategic choice.

Is it the vorpalness 50% or back to 40%?And is it really a nerf that way?Giving 10% vorpalness and removing a few of base X ?

4 / 4 / 324,533 vs a TOE mage-Queen Beee
About the same as the MH of the equal x.
Very nice jump in damage, not too much to make it the only option but enough to keep it in play.
Nice, not the uber nerf anymore.

Better :)
a few more rescales, and everyone's VB will be base :P
Yay, thanks Jon. That helps a lot. =)
You know what is another happy surprise regarding this change? The challenge rating of all my opponents has gone up, even though I can still defeat them rather easily. Thanks! :)
A great nerf... if that makes sense :)
Where's the AC cut off difference versus a BONE?
According to the other thread, the cut off values before the subsequent buff, were:
"with 50% reduction those are 352 and 328 for BNE and ELS."
So the ELS cut off comparison went from 328 to 246. Anyone know how to calculate what the bone is? I can at least guess that it's less than 352 and more than 246.
I'd say 264 Nightstrike but obviously I woouldn't bet my life on it.
ELS has been lowered to 75% of the previous figure and 352*0.75=264 :)
