О каком тогда нерфе идет речь?
Marked Shot damage increased to 550% (was 250%) вроде баф, но нет, так как больше не бафается от уязвимости, поэтому нерф, было 625%, стало 550%
Sidewinders now generates 35 Focus (was 50). нерф
Vulnerable now has a 7 second duration, provides a 100% bonus to damage, and does not stack. было 150% всегда, стало 100% и +10% каждую секунду, вплоть до 160%. Раньше как было - повесили дебаф, сразу же стреляем Прицельные выстрелы, теперь надо ждать чтобы стрелять четко секунда в секунду на 140% и на 160% в дебафа, иначе дпса не будет. На бурсте вообще приходится стрелять по 110-130 дебафу.
Barrage no longer requires a target, and no longer deals extra damage to one target. нерф урона в 1 цель в два раза.
Так же минус 5% у всех аги классов и нерф бис реликов без какой либо компенсации. Так что дпс в сингл не вырос, дпс на аое снизился.
Теперь вспомним и о других изменениях на фоне которых нужно смотреть общую картину:
The damage done by most Enhancement spells has been increased.
