stealth nerf to weaver webbing?

[mattg18]

I pretty much just noticed this now...but has anyone else noticed that web the earth no longer gives a 10 second slow...but instead acts like a hotspot like tar...kinda loses its effectiveness if you ask me

i noticed this too, and i agree that it doesnt kinda lose its effectiveness.

i really liked the webs/tar comparison. it was the perfect example of similar, but not mirrored skills.

I would say this is a bug. They wouldnt make this change without mentioning it. Plus the tooltip didn't change. They probably borked it.

i would believe that if....

they didnt implement so many stealth changes all the time and...

alot of tooltips have been broken...last time i checked latent poison is still apparently curable according to the tooltip

Im always wondering how those stealth creep nerfs form? Spiders didnt get fixes/new skills/ or anything this update, so how did that happened?

I tend to agree with you

There was an ancillary change to ground effects this update; the new borders. So it's possible that the little ground border for effects somehow broke the skill. They could have used old code for the web the earth effect when they put the border in; web the earth was broken in this way originally when it was released in book 11 SOA and in fact we had no idea it was even supposed to have a persistent effect upon leaving the webbing until it was fixed and explained to us that "this is what we always intended" in the book 14 SOA spider fixes.

I definately hope this is a bug, I'm ranking up a weaver right now and I've almost unlocked it.

I already resumed playing right before an update that puts creeps at a huge disadvantage and now they're possibly nerfing on of the weavers most fun skills.

While you're reading this Turbine, if freeps can have unlimited power, an astronomical crit magnitude and a big damage and morale increase all out of the blue, I'd like some too.... falling on deaf ears, but whatever.

Doesn't blight put a stackable DOT on the target when it leaves the hotspot? I fail to see If one ground effect can put an effect on the target/targets upon leaving the area how another one can fail when they share many similarities.

simply by using the wrong coding if they did indeed use the old webbing coding
