Ikaris Nerf #2

"Summoners,

There is currently an Issue where Ikaris's SP1 is causing unintended Spikes in Damage. This is caused by an issue where Refreshing and Pausing Damage over Time Effects causes an error. We will be making a temporary change that will reduce the number of Refreshes on Ikaris's SP1 while we work on a full fix that will be released with a future update.

Once this temporary fix is pushed out, Ikaris will only refresh his Incinerates on the final hit of his SP1 instead of all 4.

We apologize for any confusion this may cause."

Welp here we go again. This might not be as significant as the first nerf but still, you are now losing precious time to refresh your incinerates. You now have just lost two seconds which in the game is much more important than it looks. I just don't understand how we even have had two nerfs already when the CCP hasn't even had access to 6* Ikaris yet.

Please comment your thoughts on this.

My thoughts?
This is much more significant than the first nerf.
Edit: I am hoping that this is *really* a temporary fix which doesn’t slip into an abyss.
Imo it’s really important to his rotation that he refreshes his Incinerates on the first hit.

Ikaris is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in The Eternals #1 and was created by Jack Kirby. The character is depicted as a member of a race known as the Eternals. Richard Madden played Ikaris in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, debuting in Eternals.

Any great character comes out and they nerf something. I understand that sometimes abilities are there that aren’t supposed to be. But anytime we get a trash character, they are left untouched until time itself collapses.

First off, fixes aren't nerfs. Secondly, how is it number two? Lastly, they're addressing it before he's even released, so credit is due.

At the moment they've said it's temporary. By all means, let's communicate our concerns.

But let's not call it a nerf till a final change has been made, shall we?

I was refering to the title, which is fake

I can't count how many times people have said they deliberately waited until sales and Arenas ran to say something. Here they're being upfront well in advance, and there's still an issue. Would we like it if there were never any issues? Sure, so would they. That's not realistic.

Do these fixes/changes affect the X champion as an EQ boss? I m guessing no, that s what concerns me at the moment.

I agree with this. With Hercules, I had gone after the featureds well before they changed something up. I didn’t mind the change much, since I got him as a 5* and was just happy to have him, but it did seem wrong to let the changes go in effect after people went after him.

Hopefully this clarity in abilities stays put after he is available in deals.

Ok that's fair.

ART!!!

Isn't it a good thing that he's being nerfed before released at a worthwhile rarity? Plus they said it's temporary.

GrassKnuckles

Well the nerf didn’t go well for them did it
