what is SPI mitigation? please advise ))

I am on vacation right now, I feel that I fell behind events on the forums...

How did the Saturday def fighter patch go? Did DK get what they needed?

thanks all

Well I tested this out. It still seems to be 50/50 shot on it working. Before there was a bug with DC that once it actually kicked in any SPI damage would basically be 1 or 0. Our Word line the 5 min recast is SPI based damage. So a 1000 pt nuke useable every 5 min was worthless unless you pulled with it.

I saw some 0s tonight, but not as many. There must still be a bug lingering there.

As of last night and tonight they have slapped us a nerf bat. The nerfed the crap out of our mana pool. The invis buff is still "good" but I don't like that the nerfed the run component that much. Its negligible now.

SPI mitigation = Spiritual Damage Mitigation, which is what most of our spells are, Spiritual damage.

Is the nerf really that bad on our mana pool? I dont think it can be as bad as described above, at least I hope not.

Hyatt · 01-24-2007, 08:21 AM

It's pretty bad. Our Energy pool hasn't gone down, it's the cost of our abilities have gone up dramatically.

As for the run speed portion of Shadowy Veil, there was talk on the beta forums about making them separate. Hopefully, this is what the nerf was set up for.

Eclipse · 01-24-2007, 11:33 AM

I believe that's correct Hyatt. Most DKs out there wanted two separate abilities, and so I believe they will be giving us: "Daemonic Speed" and "shadowy Veil" separate.

I have to see the energy crisis for myself during the 3-day headstart to understand if it's truly terrible. What will really take the cake for me, is not being able to debuff the strength of 3 or 4 mobs at once, lol...if we're relegated to one or two spells before our mana is depleted...then they really screwed up, and we will see it change.
