Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning: Crafting Epic Gems

Posted by on Feb 26, 2012 in Guides |

Notes:

  1. The quality of the shards determine the value of the result. If you want the best results, combine 2 pristine shards.
  2. The formulas are commutative. Fire shard + magic shard = magic shard + fire shard.
  3. “X” = variable used to represent a number, the value of which is determined by shard quality.

I hate to say it, but I saw it coming:

  • The base damage bonus from Hunger for Blood has been reduced from 10% to 5%.
  • The bonus damage rogues gain from attack power for poisons has been decreased. This applies to Instant Poison, Deadly Poison, and Wound Poison.

Dinaer posted that the number crunchers at EJ are saying that this means a 7% decrease in damage for Assassination. I was doing nearly 7K on Festergut last night. The nerf brings that down to 6500, give or take. The actual numbers are still out so I’m waiting for the results. While I expected the nerf, the manner in which it was implemented is disturbing. Rogues are doing too much damage? Nerf HfB AGAIN. Nice. Thanks for making us WoW’s guinea pigs.
