Well, I logged in last night after the extended maintenance, took a last look at my fishing boots, re-talented and turned on general/trade chats. I was surprised that many, many twinks on Uther seem to have been caught with their pants down about 3.1. My personal favorite, was the guy who automatically spammed a twink guild recruitment, followed up shortly with all-caps “What the F$%@ happened to my twink?!?†and “I just spent over a 1,000 gold on this guy.â€
And then the strangest thing happened: I started laughing uncontrollably. I’m really not sure where it came from (I tend to be a very compassionate person) but the shear lunacy of the amount of people angry/upset/â€ready to take a stand†was just… overwhelming.
Where were these “passionate†people two months ago? I didn’t even bother to queue up, as the trade chat alone was so full of QQ that I felt I was drowning in salty tears. And how does one spend 1,000 gold on a 19? I mean, with the exception of rare weapons (of which I have not seen on the server for many moons) a 19 really should get too far over 300-ish. Then it hit me- all the traffic, all these QQ-ers so upset about their newly nerfed twinks had one thing in common- exploited legs & helms. I guess maybe my subconscious made the connection before I did, because I again stated laughing.
On first review of my twinks post 3.1, it looks like my rogue is not terribly different- he’s lost a lot of HP, but that was expected. While I still have a new piece or two to go farm, he’s still close to 1300 HP’s in stam gear and his damage/hit numbers have actually increased slightly (+4 stats to chest over the now defunct 100+ HP). I just wonder if he’ll still be a viable FC or not… only time will tell. In his damage gear, the nerf is more pronounced in my crit numbers, so again, I’ll queue him up this weekend and survey the damage.
My druid seems to have been hit a bit harder with the nerf-bat. Now, his only viable WSG gear set is his stam set (still fairly good, even with the nerf) but his heal and DPS sets are trashed. Here’s to hoping that the loss of SP and HP’s equate when healing.
Moslty, I just cannot believe, with all the information out there on how 3.1 was affecting twinks, that so many people would invest that kind of money in a certain type of character without researching it first. It just blows my mind.
In any event, see you in the queue.
