Levi nerf

[Papatuna]

Once again the arguement is "we can't do it so why should they be allowed too", What comes next you guys gonna make kraken have a % chance to drop weapons or nothing at all? Its sad that this is what the server has come to, alot of low effort people that get upset at people who are willing to put forth the effort to improve and move forward towards goals. Even if the despawn timer was to be reverted to the live despawn timer its still up for 12hrs and I doubt that would make a difference for a west faction that goes to sleep the moment kraken spawns cause its too late.
(small edit) > Oh and having more enoans is irrelevant as they require more people to man than a normal boat and we only average 20-30 players in a raid. so this whole they'll have a whole fleet!! argument is ridiculous. There is plenty of enoans on each faction. For west Blackbeard, Wyatt and for east Puppeteer,Bater,Derpn(banned). Just because your boats won't login or you don't have good relations with them doesn't mean we should be punished.

Once again you are mixing subjects we are here to discuss the nerf and if it was needed.
What we have gathered was before the patch 4.0 pn 1 managed to get levi to 4%
The question i pose to the admins was it needed to nerf a boss that was already brought so low and so close to being killed by its servers population.
By numbers reaching as high as 200% for the ability and 30% for the regeneration. ?

Correct and this was at the peak of the server and the peak of almost every guild since then the average raid population has dropped vastly so the current standard back then is not similar to the standard of raids currently, So yes the nerf has merit as it makes the boss more accessible to every group on the server. You are look at the nerf from the standpoint of "this only benefits pn" when in reality it makes the boss more accomplish able for any group that has the aspirations to do so.

You call that the nerf is big because of the change in raw numerical value.
A 200% increase in skill cooldown to a skill a single skill of the bosses is nothing in the full scale of it.
The 30% decrease to its hp regen is not that big. Its regen only acts to stall the boss fight out.

Was it a needed change. That depends on how you consider needed.
If by needed means needed to actually kill the boss then no.
But by needed in the sense of making the boss something easier for anyone to be able to take part in killing or contesting then yes it is.

As to player nation getting an armada of enoans by allowing them an easier time killing the boss.
Player nation is member capped. At best they could hope to man 3 ships properly if they had a full nation of active members against a unlimited potential amount of players that the main nations can hold.
