Multimage/dk sweeper nerf

The state represses and the law cheats
The tax bleeds the unfortunate
No duty is imposed on the rich
"Rights of the poor" is a hollow phrase
Enough languishing in custody
Equality wants other laws:
No rights without obligations, it says,
And as well, no obligations without rights

This honestly sounds like something that would hurt regular players way more than multifarmers

you do realise the dk strat is unaffected by this at all, this also hurts single-mage leechers at maps like ulu2 and skele. Though it would severely affect any 2 channel multimage set up but one channel would still be alive and well.

 

No I’m not talking about single client players, I’m talking about party play.

Say you’re duo maging or 7f INT with a friend and they want to give you NX drops. You have 1 minute to get it.

Say you’re selling Zak or HTP service. Buyer now has 1 minute to reloot, minus res time.

Say a Manon chair or card drops and you want to smega it’s available. People have 1 min to get there and loot.

This is terrible QoL for a minor inconvenience to the multi farmer as they already have the ability to fully sweep the map every min if they wanted to

 

Every change done so far to hurt the multi farmer has had some impact on single client play. If your position is that multi farming is still not balanced after the current nerfs (sweeper, macro, cast limit) this is another option to balance things out.

There can also be a middle ground, instead of going for 1 minute, it can be restricted to 2.

 

Time to go back to mage sweeping

 

When you're single client farming a map like Ulu 2 or Ninto as a mage (for example) you have to stop and change platform every 3 minutes to loot (ie climb to top platform on Ulu2). This change would mean we have to stop and loot every 1 minute which would severely hurt the efficiency of single client farming and only slightly inconvenience multi client players. It wouldn't even make multiclient worse necessarily, just more tedious.

 

In my fairly limited experience with multimaging (probably less than 15 hours combined on duo viks and trio/quad ulu1) I honestly just swept continuously. I'd move my char around after every iteration of casts because keeping track of a 3 min timer (even by just looking at buffs) felt like more effort.

As mentioned before, this change would have 0 (or very little) impact on at least my approach to multimaging, but it'd sure as hell make me less inclined to single mage ulu2.

 

Leeching is the most efficient way of leveling up, regardless of your base int. If there are no additional changes other than what's been revealed so far the challenges won't have much of an effect on leeching.

Using washing as an excuse to need leech is just weak as it has nothing to do with holy symbol and full map attacks being overpowered.

 

On this note just want to say I absolutely love being able to forget to unequip pet loot and simply activate dark sight at the end of a boss run.
