why did they nerf 1 person focus

does anyone know the reasoning behind this? there really isn't much difference between no focus and level 1, but it is a nice thing to have if i want to take my gdragon over to the ww and farm him a while.

why hurt the solo experience. i could see if they wanted to bump a level 6 upto 7 people as you can do much damage at a rat spawn casting essence of wind with a level 6.

i just donot get this change.

Re: why did they nerf 1 person focus

I'm with you. Not sure why they felt this over-powered a single player...

Anyone?

Re: why did they nerf 1 person focus

There was an exploit of some kind.

However, they have been very cagey about whether or not the nerf (I am told that you can't get a level 6 Focus anymore) is intended or not. I have a feeling it'll be in today's Five on Friday.

I don't like the change either. I don't see how a Level 1 Focus with a single player was over-powered....And it's a damn shame that they felt they had to execute a nerf in order to squelch an exploit.

Re: why did they nerf 1 person focus

I thought level 6 was intended...that level 6 was the whole point of the "bonus" arcane circle in Prism of Light...?

Anyhow, I also heard that there might have been a loophole - but I can't quite comprehend how that loophole was so damaging as to warrant this. Did it massively boost the damage of WOD or something? It's not as though Spellweaving is terribly broken...

My 120 SpellWeaving is now perma-SoulStoned. What a waste!
