So Physical has some noticable affects on your damage now. It seems like Nyeshk hits +100 damage of a Mythril sword on average, for 1 second slower casts.
I'd like other people to weigh in but I don't know if +100 damage is worth dealing your damage a second later. Call me picky but if the choice is
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 over 20 seconds vs
11 + 11 + 11 + 11 over 24 seconds, I don't know if it's worth +4 damage to drop my damage a second later each time.
I'm just thinking-- if it takes 5 hits to take each other down, you throw on a mythril sword and you get to get your 5 hits in faster, and I throw on a Nyeshk sword so I get in an extra 5% damage on average... But a second later every cast; that's like... Negligible. It's not putting a dent in my damage output, it's just slowing me down. I wouldn't see returns on my weapon until the 20th hit when my 20th hit feels like the 21st. But in the time it takes me to get 20 hits, the guy with the Mythril sword actually gains extra attacks over me in that time. And this is all hypothetical because no fight is going to take 10 casts of the same/similar spells and if we combine a lineup of armed abilities you're actually seeing slightly more return from your rotation collectively than separately.
Soooo... I'll just say I think the phys difference between Nyeshk and Mythril swords still feels a bit lacking after this update. The scaling difference is definitely there, but I think Nyeshk could use another... Uhhh... 20 phys? So 60? Or-- inversely, Mythril lowered a bit in Phys. Thoughts?
