It seems to me like a lot of the balance issues in PvP come from some amulets providing too much. The trait overhaul caused a lot of issues, but the biggest problems right now are builds being able to remove almost any weakness because of 4+ stat amulets.
I propose that the entire PvP amulet system gets a major overhaul that would make it a lot easier to balance the game. My idea basically just has 2 rules.
1) All amulets are limited to 3 stats
2) No amulet can have both Vitality and Toughness
-or-
Amulets must have at least 1 offensive stat
This change should make it easier to balance the classes and it should cause builds to have natural weaknesses that would have to be overcome with utilities and/or traits.
Making a change this drastic is sure to cause some short-term issues, but overall I feel like it would make the game a lot healthier.
(I must confess that I only recently got back into the game so I could way off with my judgement. Please tell me why I am wrong if you feel I am so I can learn.)
1) All amulets are limited to 3 stats
2) No amulet can have both Vitality and Toughness
What about
1) All amulets are limited to 3 stats
2) No amulet can have both Power and Precision
?
I guess it would be better to say that every amulet must have at least 1 offensive stat to prevent crazy bunker builds that make matches extremely boring.
You only recently got back… you may kindly stuff it.
Reasons being you would invalidate quite a lot of specs. This isn’t a three stat game, and just because a lot of players complain about certain things (like Celestial Amulet) and will swear on a stack of Bibles that it is ruining game balance doesn’t mean there is actually a problem or that things aren’t working as intended.
1 shotting is just as bad as crazy bunkers and builds with no weaknesses.
There are no bunker builds with no weaknesses. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a scrub. Making all amulets have three stats would bring lots of one-shotting. There is a reason people tend to take Marauder over Berserker.
