Talk:Nian Wargear/@comment-24.98.17.160-20140130183348

My blazeborne as master with 6% is 2298/ 2071. My ashera has 1935 attack with 5%. My wyvern has 2230 defense with 5%. Plainly adding and subtracting to match Nian (-31/ +45), I estimate my nian wargear to be 1904/ 2275. To match bonus, adding 2% straight to each total estimates my nian wargear as 1943/ 2320- as if I had all 6% bonus. ///

I estimate nian wargear to be 100 points weaker in an average guild and equal and stronger in more advanced guilds. ///

If we ignore the 100 point jump between krampus and glacius plainly happening again, between demon's carapace and nian wargear is another 100 point difference. We've rarely see a decrease in power between two bosses, and between desert wurm and typhoon monster is a 62 (no question a metagame decision). I think it is not unscientific to assume an average increase of 25 points a boss. ///

For the average guild member, blazeborne will become obsolete in a month (and has already for a few now or at drake) I estimate given the data. Techtonic shortly after that and Northern is not immune. ///

I am trilled with this pace of power creep. It is time to retire the mono elemental epic armors. Two tiers of difference between what's fusable and what's free is too wide a margin. The relative power decrease of maelstrom, beast, ect. will make Knights and Dragons a more fair and enjoyable game. Giving everyone a blazeborne is a victory to celebrate. ///

Certainly the next tier of epics will be made fusable. I respect this cyclical oscillation in fairness. But nian reasons boss+ will rise to the power of maelstrom, beast, ect. in response. ///

Fairness prevails in the end.
