Re: Sandstorm getting a much needed nerf on PTR
Well thats a good start! Now if only they would fix the Idol's hit%! Because obviously they hit more then 40% and 70% when sandstorm is up!!
Re: Sandstorm getting a much needed nerf on PTR
The Idol's hit is quite fine. You cant trust a small sample size. I dont like to use sandstorm myself on the idol as Crush seems to miss all the time.

Hrm, good change. Never use sandstorm with the idol regardless.
BUT the best thing about this change is wastewalker shu's annoying elemental. Now you won't have that 9 round sandstorm up during the last pet 80% of the time. More time shaved off.

Just use a Yeti and it'll remove the storm for you.Chimonks wrote:BUT the best thing about this change is wastewalker shu's annoying elemental. Now you won't have that 9 round sandstorm up during the last pet 80% of the time. More time shaved off.

It'll also switch up his ability order, since he currently does Sandstorm after 3 rounds of Quake and 1 of Rupture. Should make it easier too.BUT the best thing about this change is wastewalker shu's annoying elemental. Now you won't have that 9 round sandstorm up during the last pet 80% of the time.

Re: Sandstorm getting a much needed nerf on PTR
Personally, I only use sandstorm against Aki. Not sure how this change will affect that fight.
Edit: I agree that this will be a good change in the fight with Shu.

Re: Sandstorm getting a much needed nerf on PTR
You know how many times I've stopped and restarted a fight with Shu just because my (formerly 100%, now Sandstorm adjusted 90%) Howl misses and throws my entire timing off? Yeah, way more than 10% of the time. I, for one, welcome our new nerfed Sandstorm overlords.Chimonks wrote:Hrm, good change. Never use sandstorm with the idol regardless.

Just use the red cricket. He doesn't care if he misses sometimes.Slab wrote: You know how many times I've stopped and restarted a fight with Shu just because my (formerly 100%, now Sandstorm adjusted 90%) Howl misses and throws my entire timing off?

Not sure why i would use a yeti against the elemental considering it hardcounters mechs.. But uhh yeah, thanks anyway.Kring wrote:Just use a Yeti and it'll remove the storm for you.Chimonks wrote:BUT the best thing about this change is wastewalker shu's annoying elemental.

Re: Sandstorm getting a much needed nerf on PTR
Remember that both teams benefit/suffer from weather effects. Use them to your advantage. If he lays down a Sandstorm you can add a Shell Shield. For that reason I don't see many top players running weather teams, they can backfire on you too easily.

Re: Sandstorm getting a much needed nerf on PTR
I don't PvP battle so I can't speak to how it will change there, but I don't think this change will affect me too much. I use the Anubisath Idol for a lot of the tamers because his sandstorm protects my carry pet, which it will still do. I'll miss the extra hit on some aquatics probably with this longer cooldown, but not enough to be upset.
