Problem of "Expertise"

[Flashlight237]

Anyways, yes, expertise is really in need of a nerf. Having a permanent x4 damage bonus is broken, and really screws with the balance of things.

I've always said this myself: Limit expertise to 10 or 20, not 100. Having played many a RPG, I've always felt critical hits were meant to be a bonus rather than a forced mechanic. I'm convinced its part of the reason why game balance is thrown off starting from armadillos.

damage formula is just terrible. also we have devastating crit

Only the player-to-monster damage part of the damage formula is badly executed; how many times do I need to say that before people stop being ignorant about the truth?

Also, "devastating crit" doesn't matter when limiting expertise itself is a huge requirement for something as important as monster endurance rebalancing.

the player-to-monster damage is what i meant

and if crits are really that op just make them do half the damage, acting as a sort of mini-crit. then devastating crit would replace normal crit damage

I agree, I have seen a archer with 5 archery points do the same damage as one with 67 just because of expertise, something needs to change
