    You know what guys. You are right. Mimic is too powerful. Hopefully they can just remove it all together. Then no one will play Enchanters like no one play Guardians. Lol

    Might as well just go play a wizzy, warlock, or conjurer then leave the buffs to the Bards. Until VC gets nerfed then no one will play bards lol.

    Careful what you wish for.

    Bye Bye losers.

    You seem to misunderstand no one is saying to nerf mimic, it's about fixing it. Mimic on beastlord has been broken since they reworked the class in tot but no one made a thread about it. With the new fervor stat, it has got even more completely blown out of proportion. The whole fervor stat is working on things that it should not work on it's not just mimicry. For example it works both on charging RO and then on using VC it also works on charging FB and then again when FB hits. This should not happen fervor should not double dip on spells, that is why none of the other stats affect those abilities directly. Fix mimicry on beastlords and fix the fervor stat is what I think needs to happen.

    See test patch notes.

    Mimicry will no longer take into account targets Fervor.

    Good now people can leave us alone! =P

    Now if only they would change a few of our buffs to make them more appealing to group members *sigh*

    ABILITIES
    • Temporal Mimicry's will no longer count the targets Fervor when calculating it's base damage. The Enchanter's fervor is still calculated when applying.

    nice way to rain on the enchanters. grats guys

    It's not because of what Ignited said. Thank Neiloch and his buddies who called for a nerf. Now back to parsing just slightly above healers. /sarcasm

    Thanks to all enchanters haters here.
    I cannot believe that developers again did swing their Nerf bat. Really guys, you gave a bit love to chanters and right away took it away?

    I've played a coercer since KOS, if you didn't think this spell was broken... Guess what, still going to log in tomorrow and enjoy the class.

    There was no reason to change Mimic IMO. When every class has their own big hits and enchanters for some reason are given an ability that relies on ANOTHER class instead of our own. When Wizards are doing 6 billion damage in one hit, why are the devs worried about Mimic? I truly don't understand it.

    Fine, nerf mimic but increase the number of spells affected by it then.

    Are you really comparing Wizard DPS to an Enchanter's? Wizards are a T1 DPS Class and are suppose to be topping the parse where enchanters pressing 1 button and being in the top 6 of the parse is just dumb.

    So it isn't going to be doing the same dps and the original hit, but the base hit plus chanter fervor...that is gonna make it smaller than the actual hit unless you have more fervor than the actual dps class, then it will do more, what a double edged sword.

    So you're saying everyone who actually plays a dps class in this game should hate playing because you leached your dps off of them to get a decent parse? If you want to parse go roll a dps class instead of a utility and stop trying to claim that this broken ability was fine as is.

    So Devs now that you listed to the whining and changed the way fervor effects mimic when are you going to fix these issues:
    " The whole fervor stat is working on things that it should not work on it's not just mimicry. For example it works both on charging RO and then on using VC it also works on charging FB and then again when FB hits. This should not happen fervor should not double dip on spells, that is why none of the other stats affect those abilities directly. "

    FB works fine if anything they need to reduce the reuse timer, RO/VC I can understand the double dip, but I never get good vc's anyway so idc. here is a psionists, gogo vc ;(

    It is funny when so many spells/stuff is double dipping into fervor and the summoner pets/dumb fires are excluded.Summoners dont want to double dip..we just want the fervor to apply to all our spellls..including the ones that are attributed to pets/dumbfires.
    Before fixing spells double dippin fervor you should see to it that it applies to all spells

    When one spell is doing 75% of your dps and out parsing 90% of the raid then it's ridiculous.

    Any chanters who didn't think it was broken are silly. You'll still easily out parse bards with this, you know, the other utility class.

    I don't really care about the change to be honest.. BUT here is a suggestion about how I feel it should work. The targets ferver should be the one that gets counted in the end result because that's the whole point of mimic.. it's based on what the target does and not the chanter, therefore the chanter's ferver should never have been counted in the first place and we wouldn't be having this issue.

    No he is right it IS all my fault.

    Sorry guys, this was all just a reverse psychology experiment.

    I don't even play an enchanter. My mains are Warlock and Wizard. And to be honest I got tired of having enchanters do basically nothing and steal my top DPS parse.

    When I seen this post I jumped on the chance to expedite change. I knew exactly what the post needed.

    Sorry you all had to be part of it.

    This post is not needed. Chanter is very fun class. When I think that vodka is made up of molecules, it disgusted me to drink.

    Mimic is not working at ALL, just tested it
