Why has this skill been changed to a Magic skill on a class that doesnt have the matk to make it effective? This skill should be changed back to Physical.

but not at live with oly jewels, zakens, frints, morai (or MW morai heavy), TW jewels... stun is **** at live servers but at H5 max resist for debuff is 90% os u have always 10% chance to stun/debuff even hero :D
Honestly, I hope you had the chance to enjoy it while it lasted.
I have been playing this slightly ;) op class since inception. They were late bloomers. At first "most" ppl considered all chickens a gimmick. Yes we had steal divinity (which is now nerfed as well) but back in the day, SD had about a 45 sec re use. Shoot soul of pain re-use was 10 seconds and that was our fastest recycling nuke. We also had shadow and voice bind with 100% land rate even on raid bosses, but they changed that one quick.
Well I may have floated a bit off topic. But, believe it or not, Lightning Shock is not needed for Olympiad. It was already slightly nerfed last patch with the addition of para resist armors.
If you want it to land, you will have to work at it hard to get it to land meaning.
1. Tweak Matck
2. Strip your targets buffs a bunch of times before attempting to land it. If they cheat and use programs to auto rebuff then forget trying to para.
I have not had a chance to test anything on pts last night. I got online late and did not have the energy to gear up fully to test.
The thing I will miss most from Lightning Shock was the ability to aoe where I should not be able to aoe.
Soulhounds should of known this nerf was coming and begin to ween themselves off this skill/crutch.
Although we took some hard hits in the balancing department. It was a much needed fix imo. I think the game will be more balanced, especially in open oly.
All I can say is in pvp, use your strengths. Use your speed and kite. Use terrain. We are still a strong "Nuker" class. Think about it, we can nuke, we are fast and we can wear light armor. If you wish to play pure hybrid still, you need to get vorpal and lvl 84 if you are not there yet.
Yeah, I will probably miss lightning shock for aoe purposes and for oh shoot situations in pvp but it was straight up OP , primarily in Open Olympiad.
BUT, on the flip side, Stun has always been kind of OP as well. But with Vorpal switching to Stun resistance, it will be a 1 out of 10 skill just like Lightning Shock.
My best advice is to think outside the box. Test a lot on the PTS. Test old skills you may have thought were not worth using. OE them test them and test them again. I bet you there is a hidden gem or 2 that you have forgotten about due to past ineffectiveness.
'Nerf' is completely fine. The boosts of everything else more than males up for it, trust me. Just don't expect to be as effective if you're not 83-85 with good gear any more.
The Para nerf and the Steal Divinity nerf are rly needed.
And for the new coming Rush Impact for Warriors.... i dont think they will be that good. Maybe only from the Titan since its a lvl 85 skill.
A lvl 83 RI not enchantable vs. a 85 Char with basic pvp buffs/TW jewels for stun resist or even Epics wont land too much.
It will be the same as with Weapon Blockade lvl 83 from Duelists. It fails quite a lot vs. lvl 83 chars. And on higher ones.... well not rly worth.
