"fixed"... like this was broken...

keeping up perma wounds and perma vulnearability was one of the unique abilities and few things that helped to compensate the shortcomings of psi to some point which already has no selfheal as the only class and no proper damagemitigation beside the figleaf of a shield for a few seconds

nerfing it even further is beyond questionable. psi is already a class almost nobody plays
8 out of 10 times i am the only psi in battleground

do the guys who balance things hate psi so much?

*hust* correct me if im wrong, but as we all heard in years SOME guys LOVE to play totally unfair and OP oneshooterclasses and if THIS peeps complain about something nerft no1 cares?

why psi is no attractiv class is another question? im open to suggestions... i played incapsi last month and it was kinda fun to sniper with assassin but beside that it wasnt really exciting to psi around...

maybe its a hit and run damageburst class therefor you dont need permavuln?

its not really about me if thats what you mean, personally im still pretty fine but in general its an unfortunate change. also while i do enjoy unfair situations like simple kills, allods is far from being unfair in general as even a rookie player can become a reasonable opponent if he gears up tp 115%. while psi IS a burstclass, its also (since the last big rewok of all classes with dane patch) a class that was able to keep up permanent pressure with woulds, cowardice and vulnearability. perfect to put nice pressure even on fullheals.
in a group, as psi was a nice addition as it meant you could focus down players. this worked even without any words as it was a clear situation to everyone

have you felt psi is overpowered due to the way these rubies worked before and now you are happy because it has been nerfed?

except form a full geared player that

i stay with what i have said. this change wont help with psi being the least played class in this game...

almost all the time got some1 chasing me or trying coz even with cc, this lousy raceskillshield and twin i could survive often long enough that they were killed under effects of debuffs and we talk not about noobs.

level up with phantomtanks - killing red bosses alone, invincible phantoms holding aggro could be nerft next

more likely they just chased you because as an undergeared reinc were an easy target - killing those is easy, fun and boosts the carnifexbuff
i go after the weakest ones aswell first - aside from the things said above it allows to make sure people focus on the geared players as there simply isnt anthying else left to target plus many heals try to keep the ungeared alive which results in a waste of heal in total

the "phantomtank" thing is nice for playing around (i enjoy leveling aswell) but completely irrelevant in the large picture (and endgame PVE / PVP). there was a change where they made phantoms invincible, wasnt always like that
i highly doubt this will get a change - but then again after "fixing" (beaking!) something that worked as it should, who knows

mmorpg with such a long entrycurve depending on new players.

current gearup system really favors newcomers - the more BG you play the faster you gear up
last miniseason i geared up by almost only doing BG and ended up with a decent gearscore. sometimes pretty high % drops from BG - rarely but it does

feels like the patienceless shootergeneration killed epic battles for fast cummings

that are the feelings i had when they "erased a few zeroes" from damage and health like with the overinflated currency of some shitholecountry
result was everyone was dead within 2 or 3 seconds in battleground and many mechanics broken beyond repair - like mount/assaultshell heal, guildruby-cc-heal and so on

Quoted from "Aionwen"

some just take it personell to be permavulned by guildless nonames and develop a burning need to compensate for their broken ego by revenge against weaklings i know...

i tend to see top geared players not getting attacked from a lot of players (even when no undergeared ones are left)
it is a psychological thing that makes many avoid a battle with a player that is superior
very few players who attack EVERYTHING on sight exist - for me this always was enjoyable - after all there is nothing to lose but everything to gain in such a situation

so taking "revenge" on undergeared ones also helps with receiving less dmg als these - if they follow the pattern i noted above - likely will refrain from attacking this one further as they are demoralized
i note this myself often, if i battleground i kill a player once, he fights back the next time he sees me. after killing him again, he trys a second time, dies again. 3rd time he gets more passive and 4th, 5th time even if i engage in battle he likely wont even bother to attack me. exceptions exist but this is the common behavior.
if a friendly healer takes care of me even those who are overgeared abstain usually as a good healer can keep 2 players alive, i have high survivability means im full again with 1 heal plus without dying like paper i can bring overgeared players down aswell in an unproblematic way

Quoted from "Aionwen"

permavuln that wouldnt happen dis way and so i conclude its kinda overpowered as it makes the class a favorite target over other ungeared classes... eg mage or summi i played got mostly ignored up to the moment a carnifexboost was really needed...

if a player is focussed it is possible for all to still keep almost perma-vul on him with the players rotating the skills
so might play a small role on this but psi being PAPER and an easy kill is even more inviting. think of which class goes down fastest. psi has ONE relevant damagemitigation, the blue racial shield. ecto is borderline useless, twin can be countered with astral sight potion and thats it.
