Guild Wars 2

i just tested out the scourge (more like, i was trying what i was most excited about, trait interaction with the sandshades) and i dont really know how to feel about the spec….

first: shroud enter skills get an incredible nerf when picking the scourge (all enter shroud traits proc on f5, which has an 20 cd instead of the usual 10 sec shroud cd) so rip my shroudbomber build :X
i was really suprised that they didnt affected the shades… but it kinda makes sense considering how much tinkering you can do with the shades on their own.

second, can we have a radius tell on the scourge profession skills? like the one we have on blood is power? i can see that being incredibly helpfull

also, the scourge movement skill sounds like a spraycan XD

I have probably played Necro way too much to be able swap into Scourge comfortably after 20 minutes of testing. Everything felt wrong somehow. I guess it is mostly me, and I will try again later.

As I understand it, Scourge has very little point in PvE. Whole elite is built around the idea that enemy has many-many boons. Monsters in PvE rarely do, and the bosses are probably immune to anything like this. So, it would sound perhaps like better spec for PvP or WvW. Sadly, I have never done any PvP and not been in WvW latley either.

Definitely not. Scourge looks strong as hell in PVE based on limited testing.

Scourge would most likely be useless in wvw due to the fact that sand shades are immobile unless resummoned, so someone can see you set them (long animation) and just….walk away.

What I think is funny as hell though, is based on just a quick look at it scourge will be better as powercrit than reaper is. The elite meant for conditions might be better at power than the elite meant for power.

He´s perfect pls dont nerf it thanks anet
