Guild Wars 2

I know it’s been said before, but seriously ANET buff the god kitten lord please….please…. Or remove that aspect from the game, you removed fury buffs from temple, remove lord from legacy then. Something. score 497- 555 even with all 5 of us there defending him. Including me as an Ele.

EDIT: PowerCreep>Legacy Lord

From an in-game point of view, absolutely not. Lord rushes rarely succeed from my experience and giving the Lord a buff would just make it so that no Lord rushes succeed at all. I usually have no problems defending the Lord for my team and when we have me (a druid) and an elementalist defending, the Lord will probably never go down. This is all my experience however so maybe Lord rushes usually succeed for you.

From a pro league point of view, the foefire Lord definitely needs a big HP buff because based on what I saw in week one, foefire is basically a match up to 350 points rather than 500 with the portal Lord rushes succeeding 100% of the time. It makes the games on that map a bit anticlimactic when one team portal-rushes Lord at 350-300, giving no chance for the other team to get back to defend.

So overall, I think I actually do want to have it buffed since I enjoy watching the pro league more than playing the actual game, however, if I based my decision on my ingame experiences like I am sure most people would, I would want it to stay the same as it is now.

Rarrely succeed? I’ve seen it soloed

LOrd should have some kind of self condi cleanse. it’s way too easy for condi classes to solo him right now. Maybe makes some of the 4 other NPCs cleanse him from time to time.

Rarrely succeed? I’ve seen it soloed

I have seen it soloed too, multiple times. However this only happens when nobody at all goes to defend the lord for the entire time the player is soloing it (I have arrived to defend the lord when it was at 10% health with someone solo-ing it and easily prevented the kill). What I mean by saying that they rarely succeed is that if the team puts any kind of effort into actually defending their lord, the enemy lord rush will fail 9 times out of 10. This is why I think it would be a mistake to buff the lord when considering average players like myself.

What if they put some sort of player detection. The fewer players attack it the
harder and stronget the lord is.
If there is 1 enemy player in the zone the lord get a 10 stack buff.
When 2 players are around it gets 6 stacks
3 players – 3 stacks
More then 3 its the same and It depends on the defending team to stop/save the lord.
Also the lord cannot be pulled out of its zone and canno be kill from distance. Which mean the lord room need to have walls and a gate of some sort(invisible dome maybe).

Does lord scale with number of players like other bosses throughout the game?

In that match WE ALL were there defending the lord, it was 5v5 +lord, and I was on my ele, I rotated my aura’s water spells everything. He still died had he held out for 3 more tics we woulda won, but NOPE. Even with all 5 of us there including an ele plus his body guards, he still went down. -_-

So it was 5v5 and all five of them were able to focus it down? Sounds like working an intended. A tempest is not a healer. They provide decent support healing but that’s it. They’re not going to keep an entire team from bursting down someone.

The lord needs condi clear and has for a while.

But most of the problem is power creep from HoT. Bring elite specs and revenant into line with pre-HoT stuff and it will take time and skill to solo the lord.

add in a down-state for the lord (the way stronghold has) and you suddenly improve the entire mechanic of the lord rush & make it more possible to respond to a lord rush
