Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
I certainly like where they're going for Medic changes, but they still need to make Atomize's tier upgrades not be complete ass. Adding about 100dps for a Tier 8 bonus? Pass.

I don't know. 100% chance to generate an actuator up from 50% I think is pretty good and making it usable while casting other spells means you never have to stop other casting. I haven't done the math but your overall dps should go up quite a bit more then 100 dps just from those two changes.
Unless they turn it into an instant cast, the good espers will now be the ones who can move and still aim/hit their target with Telekinetic Strike.

From what I understand, the bonus loot you would get for medal-ing now draws from the entire dungeon's loot table (as opposed to just giving you purples for getting gold) - and of course, that loot table is mostly blue loots.
So you will get something now no matter what you medal, but chances are very good that it will be crap.

Wow... exactly the opposite of what I expected. lulz. Endless dailies or endless grinding of shitty dungeons. *yawn* guess I'm done with W* for now.
If getting gold still gets you a purple and getting anything else gives you a low chance at one and a guaranteed blue that isn't a bad change is it?
Getting gold doesn't get you a purple, getting gold just gets you 3 extra rolls on the ENTIRE dungeons loot table.

Honest question: What is the difference between what they said they were going to do and what they actually did?

That's the change that would make sense. That's not what they did though.
Gold USED to guarantee you a purple - which is what made them worth doing despite the fact that Golding a dungeon was exceptionally difficult. Being in a group capable of pulling off a gold dungeon means that a significant amount of work was put into it - most average groups could pull off a silver with some work and golding a dungeon is a thousand times that difficulty. The change that was implemented made it so getting gold gives you an increased roll for loot however the loot tables are exceptionally shallow (we're talking 30 blues & 4-5 purples) so the increased roll doesn't really help much.
All they need to do is give gold a guaranteed purple + 2 rolls and everyone would be happy. The change makes zero sense for gold groups.
This is still a good change for 99% of people. The added roll chances mean that gearing up in decent items takes a lot less time and avoids the major complaint that people were having. The issue is most of the people who were complaining didn't understand the proposed change - they just want purple items.
