The WT nerf

[crease]

edit with various things; rogues cannot lose thieves anymore when opping into WT's since individual thief losses don't exist. this means that in a war lasting mintime or longer the rogue will be able to op more consistently, he will not need to train thieves as his relative tpa compared to attackers and even elves will be rising so there is less reason not to op a prov with WT's. After mintime, the rogue actually does MORE damage as his success rate will have risen during war as he hasn't lost any thieves from WT secondary bonus from last age.


possible bug;

i've been napped, propped and nsed in past 8 days with a 6% fail rate (over 1000 thief ops) and ive never once been below 15% WT. since this is the first ive used them this age i am majorly impressed with how useless they are.

anybody else notice similar...


edit; nw diff probably cause the majority of those fails.

I do not use Watch Towers and i have approximately 15% Theives Dens and a high TPA instead. I suppose WTs become more noticably effective with 20-25%. You were opped over 1k times? Ouch.

WT's haven't been nerfed, they have been buffed as they actually lower the cap of ops now. You used to be able to send more thieves to reach cap before, but not anymore.

Not sure if sapphire has anything to do with WT's.

As for the 1000 ops, sowwy see :)

Seems to work fine for me. A little fails here and there and less damage...

I prefer to just blindly run 15% and assume that they are working as intended.

Besides, ignoring your news and just dealing with raw stats is much more exciting!

On paper watchtowers have been buffed. But I agree their effect doesn't seem to be that great.

this is what im noticing... up until this age they actually seemed to reduce ops coming through, now when a prov with significantly more tpa than me they appaear to do zilch

raw stats are all well and good if you dont lose 30% of ur d specs to 1 guys prop run cause he failed once... thats no fun

I don't think WTs auto-catch thieves as they are expected to.

CS works for sure though. Nothing like seeing a faery fail half their NS on me. :)

wt work for me like I thought they would. Nothing extremely out of the ordinary.

hmm i didnt take that many?? more fun to take wizzes and thiefs :D
but very boring to get 2 solds and stuff

Think you should go look at your throne page and check your Building Eff. 15%WT at 62% BE doesn't really do much..
