I ve looked under the official announcements and the next patch brief. Ive been hearing rumors that the plate piercer is being nerfed. If so would GM respond to this.
I dont see a reason for it. If your gonna nerf the best ranger weapn u should also do it to the other classes.
Granted the ranger is the strongest class , but with no
class restrictions its not just the plate piercer thats
allowing us to kick all the others buts. I had a lvl 80
mele fighter kick my but all over the pvp arena. Granted
i was 20 lvls higher and he had 2 others in his group. I
beat them . At lvl 100 that guy would have kickd my [censored].
So its not the ranger its the player using the skills thats
makin it. Melers are just as strong , if u use the skills right.

PS i just love to complain, its my nature to protect my gear.

Great job on the game guys , ive already reworkd my gear around the tief and its not as good but its close .

wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

They are going to nerf The plate Piercer, Because it has too many attributes; it has 2x the atributes it used to have

Lvl 100 (t3) pp got 225 agil, 112 end and 112 int
A normal lvl 100 (t3) rainbow bow has 225 from 1 attribute..

Thats why they are going to take away the 225 agil from the plate piercer..

OP

sigh, well indeed your nature is to complain, next time please hear more then you did now. the real story goes:
Stephen saw a few level 102 Plate Piercers and noticed it shouldnt have that high agility, just because single attribute weapons like only +end or only +int on a weapon, should have +225 in their attribute.
And double attributers should have +115 and +115 in both attributes, which makes it sort of a Bug that the Plate Piercer appears to have and +225 agility and +115 int and agi.

Would 110 agility matter? Well when you are an experienced and smart player the answer is No . As you can deal with 110 agility less for sure.

*Edit
OP was faster

to reply , the demons sniper also has 223 agility are they nerfing that as well? IF its becasuse it has 3 atributes , lose the intel

the demon sniper doesnt give a boost to any other attribute, and thereby is a 1 attribute weapon.

The plate piercer is the "best" because it's imbalanced. It's highly coveted right now because it's overpowered. That's why you see players spamming for PP rainbow trades on a regular basis.

This change will simply bring it's attributes in line with that of other rainbows, thereby taking away the unfair advantage that rangers had while equipped with the plate piercer. There may be other weapons that are imbalanced, too, but we need to identify them. You can't just assume that weapons from all other classes are imbalanced or overpowered.

I acknowledge that the PP is stronger than it should be and that it will be nerfed. However, I am still holding out hope the nerf will apply to newly dropped ones and not current ones :P A man can hope can't he? Also, I think it would be nice to not have all the RBs come in at the same level of attribute. It would be nice to have to decide between 300 end and 125 end with 125 agil. When everything is equal, it takes some of the challenge out of gathering and maximizing gear sets. Just my 2 cents.

I love my t3 PP and I hate to see it go down, I might have to switch to the sniper!

To a developer, it's called fixing bugs, maintaining balance, and/or ensuring the longevity of the game.

To players who dislike having ridiculous advantages taken away from them, reducing them to balanced levels, it's nerfing.
