Str/dex will not affect it, it is FCR based.
I tried FCR didnt notice a difference, also as phys damage it gets blocked like 95% of the time in PVP.. is this suppose to blockable because its not blockable as magic damage.Quote:

well i think they knew it would be blockable as phys dmg.. but not sure if they knew it was going to be blocked 19/20 times.Quote:

That's what I would have assumed too, about it being blocked only 75%. Hopefully it isn't a bug from the dmg conversion. This doesn't happen on the circuit orb does it?Quote:

Definitely no bug, I think there is just some exaggeration here! Nova is likely blockable as well.Quote:

So if it's blocked 75% of the time while you're casting at 200 fcr you maybe get one or two at max more foh ? Like give me a break. If the sorc item is gfg even though it can be blocked the pally item should at least break fcr bps if it can be blocked. It's not much of a fucking upgrade for a foher if a shit ass smiter with 1.5k health like me can fuck it up before it gets a chance to land a hit. Game I respect what you do, but some of the things you and your staff think of even after testing are a joke. if you have no intention of fixing it just remove the phs dmg so it doesn't lead anyone on. I feel like that's the same for the extra phys dmg that hammerdins get off of the new charm. I'm not sure why you think punishing weak champs is a solution. Maybe you should start looking into why people can enter a duel game and can't take a sorc with caster chuthulu down past 1/4 health unless they've farmed there guts out for semi decent gear. I sure as fuck know anya didn't get his gear because he farmed it, so why does his sorc get special abilities ? Yopu need to either reset ladder because people like him got rich off of bugged items, or fix the obvious problems with the items you keep creating.Quote:

I work 50 hours a week, have a 5 month old son, and a wife I spend as much time with as I can. I cannot snap my fingers and fix everything right away. Anyone who has been around on my servers know I put my heart into my work and I always do what I can to make things right and fix every issue I can.Quote:

I fix things as quick as I can, if something is noticeably much weaker than something other items of its caliber (see mavs set compared to others before the latest buff) I WILL get around to fixing it. I don't purposely break things or make them crappy. Cussing at me and insulting my work isn't going to change my methods, infact it just makes you look rude. I don't know what you have going on in life but I put much more time into this server than a lot of other people put into their hobbies. I run this server because I enjoy it, it is not my job. Don't forget that please. While I thoroughly love updating this server, I cannot prioritize it over my health or family. I have been very sick lately as well.
