Guild Wars 2

Everything is doing higher damage than 1 year ago, but the foefire lord doesn’t get buffed so it’s over whenever a team lord rushes at 350.

Also please compare foefire lord to stronghold lord – stronghold lord has downed state and actually does a noticable amount of pressure (as well as the NPCs). Meanwhile the foefire lord doesn’t have a downed state, has a weak auto attack and sometimes does a single-target stun, the NPCs are laughable. Both of these lords are game-ending mechanics so why not make them the same?

He was stealth buffed.

Still not enough.

The Lord should never been able to get kill by a SOLO guy.

They can balanced their PVE right, why not their PVE artifact into SPVP?

I think the lords in Foefire should work exactly as the Lords in Stronghold.
They Must be stomped or bled to death while in down state.
They can be ressed.

Add those two things in, and I think things will be a little better.

This is the best suggestion ever.

+1 for lord change, the scrubrush needs to be harder.

Yes lord needs a buff. We just had a match we were winning (just ~30 pts to go) and then they rushed lord. We managed to down them all but they managed to finish lord in downed mode. Especially OP since they had a ranger with bristleback who could still use his F2 skill on lord. Really stupid to loose a pip for this.

Nerf every op damage skill… easy

Disagree. The lord does NOT need a buff. The points awarded from the lord needs a NERF.

I agree, the amount of times my DH has taken him and his 4 friends out is not funny. Being able to melt them in less than 10 seconds is crazy.

Then we might as well delete him. Just making him stronger should be enough.

I know, I know! Introduce pvp tactivators that your guild will need to unlock after months of pve grind that will let you call down airships to defend the lord if you need it!

Running away fast before I get lynched…

Absolutely agree with this one.

I think a small buff would be better than reducing the points gained, otherwise no1 will ever bother with the boss because it can still be a liability. But i also dont think it needs that crazy of a buff either. Especially when theres an elementalist guarding it with spamheals/condi cleanse/projectile blocks etc. It can be pretty hard to actually finish him before you die yourself.

As for the “you shouldn’t be able to solo him” , ofcourse you should be. But take this into consideration, when you start the lord the enemies get a big message YOUR LORD IS NOW UNDER ATTACK. When are you solo’ing this boss, you will need a deccent amount of time to actually kill him. If some1 notices the gate being down, or the lord being engaged, then it really isnt that hard to simply go back to the lord and deffend it vs that 1 guy solo’ing it. Meanwhile the 1 solo guy just wasted well over 30 seconds, probably died because you came to deffend it, and got nothing at all.

Maybe a small scaling? for every added player, the boss gains 5% hp/something? This way the solo part stays there, but a 4/5-man mindless bossrush is atleast a tiny bit harder?

He also needs a defiance bar.

People aren’t saying you shouldn’t be able to solo him, it’s just that you shouldn’t be able to do it in 10 seconds. That’s less time than it can take a player to respawn. And if someone is defending, that’s a person you pulled from other parts of the map.

They should ask Taidha Covington to upgrade doors leading to lord

More hp for doors.

Downstate for boss.

Adds should get CC like scorp wire.

Would make it at least more challenging.

Huh? No. Even if he was only 100 points, it is still the biggest PvE bonus of any of the maps.

A PvE event should NOT have that large of an effect on the overall game outcome.

No no no. Why is it that people always want to add PvE into the PvP maps?

this is not adding any pve stuff, the only difference you would notice is it taking 2+ to down the lord, making it an actual game if the winning team is roflstomping.
