I also don't think it would change much in PvM. As mentioned above, I feel this is quite harsh, given how much it would cripple them in GvG scenarios. Here's a few ideas just to start things off, but if you have any other ideas, please post them here to be discussed.Ī direct damage nerf, reducing it to 50% of its current damage (or 25% of its default damage). If you disagree with this and think that Asura should be left alone, this is your time to let us know.

I think something more creative needs to be done here, if it's determined that a change to Asura is in fact necessary.

With those points in mind, I think that Asura may require some kind of change, although I think another direct number tweak isn't necessarily the way to go if it's changed, as it may cripple their performance in GvG situations. On another note, Champs also have a huge monopoly on MVP killing power, one that I feel is somewhat unhealthy for the server overall. One thought that was already brought up by someone else was they could potentially swap to Pharaohs & Draculas to try to get enough SP for another Asura, though I'm not entirely sure how effective this would be in practice. The Pharaoh changes will allow champions to quickly swap after an Asura and continue casting other skills, which may bring up some new balancing concerns, especially considering they can already one-shot a large chunk of targets in BG (though this is risky given how squishy the typical one-shot build is). With changes being looked at for Pharaoh Card and SP cost reduction in general, I think it's worth looking at Asura Strike sooner rather than later. Any replies to this topic that are not constructive/respectful will be ignored in the decision making process. This is just a topic to discuss the current state of Asura and determine if changes are needed, and if so, the best way to go about them.

Disclaimer: Changes to Asura aren't guaranteed yet, so this isn't a 'we're nerfing Champs' topic.
