Finally the pushover lord is getting a downed state, now it will no longer be a indefensible rush that wins the game at 350. Now a ranger with s&r or a thief with impact strikes will be the clutch players at defending and killing lords.

I do not wanna meet the bristleback that can carry that charr.
Anyways, a good change, proves that they are listening.
I actually liked the old lord tho, it was kinda in favour of the loosing team, giving you a chance to turn the game around if you tried hard enough.

Yea, it’ll definitely be good for thieves with Impact Strike, especially since you don’t have to really worry about the lord blocking or dodging the hit.

I have a feeling that we’ll see some lord stomps in the plays of the week with this change. Maybe something like a thief starting a shadow step stomp, lord getting ported with SnR by other team, then thief using steal instead of second part of shadow step to complete the stomp before SnR finishes.

It helps, but it doesn’t address the true problem, which is ridiculous power creep.

So, on one hand I’m pleased to see the buff to the lord.

On the other, this also sort of implies that the HoT power creep isn’t going away. Which I’m not pleased about. Sort of squashes the hope that they might still bring elite specs in line.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Idk the way i see it, also considering the ranger sword auto attack change that they tweeted, is that they are listening to the player base because both of thees things are something that was brought up by the players (and believe me i have been making post for sword change for like a year now).
So they might bring elites more in line, we shall see.

They’ve always “listened” to some extent. Not always do they act, or if they do, in the fashion we expect or desire. That’s something I’ve been pointing out for years now.

Like I said, I’m pleased by the change to lord. (And by the ranger sword, we’ve been begging, pleading, whining for that since….forever?)

I don’t think we’ve brayed loud enough or long enough regarding balance though, but we’ll see come tomorrow. (here’s to being proven wrong)

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Pretty much this. Most likely this will remain the same for the future of PvP, unfortunately.

Much needed changes I could kill it solo on a necro in about 10-20 seconds if I had some life force built up going in.

This is such an obvious change to make and quite frankly won’t change much if there’s no other buffs to the Lord

Yea, I was messing around on condi war and found that I could burst down the lord solo really quickly even with all other guards up. However, I don’t know that I would be able to survive for the stomp afterwards. Depending how the balance patch goes, it may be possible if warriors get some decent sustain buffs…

idk why all the QQ about the lord …. is it because most of you killed it while you yourself were in downed state? Cute…

Meanwhile … stomp takes 3 seconds and almost every profession has safestomp. SHOCKER!!!!

Personally I think this is a great change. Might as well bring back the banner warriors, kinda like you used to have it last year in WvW. People kept ressing lord in zerg vs zerg.
