Age of Valor's Mage/Dexxer Nerf

Post by Lymus »

Mages and Dexxers BOTH were slowed on AoV.
This has resulted in PVP becoming slower, and perhaps more "Skill Based".
Lets examine the "nerfs" of both sides.

Dexxers, instead of a 1.25 swing speed, have a 1.50 swing speed.
To determine the percent changed in their swing speed, we divide 1.25 into 1.50
1.25/1.50=.83333
So, dexxer's swing speed has been reduced by 83%, which we'll say is 85% for this example.

Mages cast at a 0.3 speed instead of a 0.1 speed.
So, to determine this percent changed we divide 0.1 into 0.3
0.3/0.1=3
Thus, they've been reduced by 300%.

So, lets determine the difference between speeds. We divide 85% (a dexxer's swing speed) into the mage's spell difference (300%)
300%/85%=3.5, of course this number is rounded.

So, for every second a dexxer loses, a mage loses 3.5 seconds. Thus, this is why mages are underpowered.

Sorry, that's not right. ((1.50 - 1.25) / 1.25) * 100 = 20% increase in swing speed delay.

Why would you subtract then divide? Maybe that's my Algebra II mind talkin', but whatever. =P

unless you have like 25ms ping but I doubt anyone pings that here. :P And besides, ping should not be a direct advantage, since thats not really fair.
