Planned changes + Please stop nerfing casters

You guys have systematically eviscerated casters patch-after-patch since beta. Stop.

First, there is a reason why casters hit hard and are capable of killing something quickly. In order to nuke something you must (a) have good position (b) not be interrupted and (c) be able to stop your cast and keep kiting if you see anything running toward you. These conditions make putting out damage difficult whereas a melee can simply stick and attack. This is why casters hit harder than tanks.

Now, please stop nerfing casters. Dark Age of Tankalot is a boring variant of the game and it will lead people to quit. Are you not learning lessons from rolling out planned patch after patch where people are sayingstop changing the game so radically? Are you trying to give people a reason to go play wow?

My suggestion is to get rid of the resist debuff change. If you want to strip lifetap casters of their bonus damage and also remove the 2.5% resist chance, that is fine, but please for the love of god do not BOTH lower resist debuff PLUS make insta heal RAs more powerful, effectively making it harder, once again, to run casters. You are making it impossible to play casters.

would be nice if they buffed tanks instead of nerving caster
but stretching out the lenght of fights seems to be the only way they can think of to change the 8vs8 meta

Nobody in 8v8 is complaining that we needed these changes. I mean they literally just changed aom. All of the constant nerfing of casters (lower burst, higher secondary resists, now resist debuff, lower insta timers, more heal power on heal RAs, cast lock rupt timer mechanic, tank dps buff, etc etc etc) is just ruining this game

well alb body trains had to be nerved but not as harsh as they did here
and with nerving all assist trains they most likely destroyed one of the two/three viable hib setups and doomed mid for even more melee/hybrid setups

problem is ... alb cant switch to an alternative from body setups (in what ever kind) since they are the only viable option for alb with full melee setups sucking hard and hybrid being awefull too

Any change is good, also and especially for the 8v8 community. Setups will adapt and there will be new changes if the new meta gets too strong. Then the process starts over again.
