Well technically the role of the camwhore has always been the healer clbum.

Not really, the camwhore has always been a quick-damage-and-heal high-flezz clbum. They hit hard for a few rounds, then spend the next few licking their wounds. The abilities allow for a trade-off from Sexiness for ego, which in Ep1 meant that they would eat through sexiness at a pretty good clip and have to boost it with items. Admittedly, the sexiness restoring items worked out to be cheaper, but the burn rate on sexiness meant that they had to spend more turns downing items to keep up. It was a strange balance, but it kept things in check.

Of course, now Camwhores get 1k+ sexiness from Eq alone, so the need to restore it kinda goes out the window entirely for now.

Prior to this latest change: When fully attack speced, I was doing almost exactly 8x the base damage of every attack. That means that Fetish pics going from 300 to 225 drops my peak damage from 2.4k to 1.8k. With hand-bra being brought down from 250 to 200, my damage potential on that drops from 2k to 1.6k.

With this round of updates, I am no longer able to make SW runs where I one-shot every thread, meaning that it’s no longer possible for me to speedrun it. Trolls, on the other hand…

ET made one critically flawed decision with this update. He’s completely forgotten how things were pre-ep2, and decided to ‘balance’ things out for end-game players who are only able to hit forums of lower levels.

ET, you seriously need to create some virtual forums for your balance-bot to run. Give it level 35, the best eq, and some decent .moar files, and set it to run through some rank 34-65 forums with a normal spread of threads, pwnage, damage, and etc…

You need to see how hard a forum each clbum can take down, how far they get in them, how hurt they get in the process, what the upkeep would be from each run, how long it would take, how many healing items they would need to consume, and etc…

This NEEDS to be done ASAP. You know as well as I do that you don’t actually need to have a finished forum for your bot to work on it. You are perfectly capable of making ****ty placeholder forums or batch-cloning/adjusting other forums for this task. Do this now so that the balance changes you make now don’t come back to bite you in the bum in the coming weeks.

However both clbumes with full kit are going to be able to 1-hit virtually every forum so I’m not sure the nerf was as bad as people make it out to be.

I can only one-shot every other thread when offense-speced, and I actually have a decent set of .moar files.

Emos got buffed enough that they can one hit most forums without needing to be in the emo damage penalty. That is kinda nice although it will reduce the relevancy of the emo damage bonus even more.

Yes… until we get some stronger forums, at which point Emos will pave new roads out of the broken shards of threads like the mother****ing fist of north star.
