Forging Balance Changes on Testing

[Trundamere]

@rossstephens

Draining Boon Compound 2 now adds 400 Quirk Points, Vigour Drain now only lasts 3 turns instead of 5.

To that I am going to respond with what I had already said about the situation.

CANCELED: Forging Changes

While I do agree that the Draining compound + Vigor catalyst may have been a bit overpowered, I feel this nerf is taking it a bit to far and pushing the item into uselessness for high end forging. I feel you only need to do one or the other not both. Either have it add 400 quirk points OR reduce the drain from 5 to 3. The 400 Quirk points is enough to make most forgers not want to use the item at all, because Quirks and defects are quite bad. The Debuff being changed from 5 rounds to 3 roun…

Otherwise the changes look fine. I will need to go on to the test server to see how much harder it is to make a AoE hammer that meets the min requirements of

Lv4 AoE
Lv8 Damage
Lv5 Dura

Depending on how hard it is to do that. will determine just how bad the Draining boon compound nerf is. I am hoping that with the 2 extra slots, maybe another good way of forging will open up. but…

The problem here is it is difficult to get Damage 8 and AOE 4 without the vigor process…I mean you could, and you will with luck…but I tried making hammers on the testing server a few different ways and I couldn’t do it. Best I got was 7 damage and 4 AOE

Dosen’t sound good, Hopefully that is just because people have not figured it out yet.
