Look at the thread title. It’s not causing team imbalance. That’s my point. Revenant is.
DH is only causing imbalance in hotjoins, which are irrelevant.
+1 he is responding to title. DH is not causing team imbalance . If it was why don’t we see 2 or 3 or even 4 Dh in top ESL teams? Instead we see double Revs.
DH is for trash tier farming. before you say I’m a DH. I WAS a DH, now i main Rev because it farms bodies even easier and has more interesting gameplay. DH is so easy to outplay by any halfway decent player.

I wish people would stop with referring to top esport teams when they are trying to make a point, most people are not playing at that level even if they think they are.
Unfortunately because ANET wants to be Esports they have to balance for top tier players since its not good publicity for them if a team wins a championship running 4 ele and a thief…..wait LOLZ
I agree that they should balance for the masses but it doesn’t seem to really be the case.

Can’t wrap my head around this thread. Revenants, Scrappers, Tempests and Druids(Even bunker Mesmers) are far more effective than a cool-down cannon that is DH. Bruisers are running this meta, not Zerkers. I feel like I have to keep linking this video showing people how to deal with traps so here ya go…
The amount of times he says “again” gave me an headache.
How a DH isn’t a bruiser? It got all the things that could possibly define “bruiser”.
Imo, we’re not talking about 1v1 situations guys, are we?
DH isn’t especially tanky, it doesn’t have good health regen. It doesn’t have many effective defensive abilities.
I’m sorry but how is DH a bruiser to you ?
Scrapper and revenants are bruisers, DH doesn’t even compare to that.

why? when the professions are played correctly and skillfully, it clearly shows that DH is irrelevant, literally the ESL has proven that if you’re struggling with DH, the answer is l2p and get better, because its not a broken mechanic that is making DHs powerful, its your lack of skill.
D/D cele saying l2p is completely different when teams with 4 D/D comps are winning ESLs vs DH saying l2p when 90% of the ESL teams don’t even run a single DH.

Meh I’d rather balance around the general population instead of the elite. The top players will find what works and/or make it work regardless. If DH is over the top in the general population then it should be toned down.

when something is literally l2p, it doesn’t need balancing…
rock doesn’t need balancing because the scissor users don’t know how to fully extend out all 5 fingers to make a paper.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that comparing the general population to the best players in the game in team comps is not a great idea. Yes Dh can be countered by teams. But that doesn’t mean they can’t do anything which was proven in game 2 of PZ vs Abjurred.
DH’s running amok in pug groups can wreck faces if they are not properly pressured and countered. Their burst remains incredibly lethal and can tilt team fights and secure downs quite effectively.

DH isn’t just countered by teams, its countered by literally every other meta build played by a halfway decent player.
add in a tempest and no one in the group really even needs to worry about a DH much

I don’t honestly agree fully. I do think DH needs some changes, as it takes literally no skill to just spam traps and pew pew high damage shots from afar inside your safe little burst “bubble”, and these traps will basically deny you from contesting a point for rather long periods of time too, effectively at least. But I don’t think they are particularly tanky (although they can heal rather well of course).
Their traps are rather easy to deal with once you get some practice at it. You dodge near the outside of the DH trap range, where you expect them to be, and/or away from them if they try to justice-trap spam you (I can’t help but laugh at that tactic) and their traps trigger and do practically nothing. The problem then is you are stuck without being really able to get close to them if you don’t have some semi-ranged options. Personally, I’ve fought two, two decent DH players in the last 100+ matches I’ve done. And they were in the same match too. Every single other DH I’ve faced, has been incredibly predictable, and terrible at anything besides relying on their traps.
Do I die to them. Sure, because they have team support knocking me into their traps now and again. But if I find one alone, I rarely have much trouble dealing with them. They are squishy, and most of them are just one trick ponies with no backup plans once their trap spam has failed.
