I’ve heard this talked about on sotg and i think it would be a great way to give more depth to pvp with seemingly little effort. Personally I’d like to see on the scoreboard:
-total damage dealt
-damage via aoe
-damage via conditions
-pet damage
-damage against enemies occupying nodes
-total damage received
-damage negated (via block, dodge, invuln. etc)
-damage received while occupying node
-damage negated while occupying node
-Total Revives
-damage taken while reviving
-damage negated while reviving
-revives in contested nodes
-Total healing
-healing applied to allies
-healing applied to characters on nodes
-Total boons applied
-boons applied to allies
-boons applied to characters on contested nodes
-damage negated from boons (for allies+on nodes)
-total duration of boons applied
-Total Conditions applied
-conditions applied to enemies on nodes
-extra damage from conditions (vuln)
-damage/conditions negated from conditions (weakness)
-total duration of conditions applied
-Disables applied
-disables applied against enemies in node
-total duration of disables applied
-total duration of disables applied to enemies in node
-Total time occupying nodes
-Steps taken
-Stealth abilities used
-total stealth duration
-Total dodges
-successful evades
-Total abilities used
-total weapon skills used
-total utility skilled used
-total heal skills used
-total profession skills used
-Total kills
-stomps
-total kills in node
-total caused downs
-Total deaths
-total received downs
-total rallys
-total damage while downed
-total downed kills
Then just make it so you can sort the categories from highest to lowest
I think having a scoreboard that simply gives recognition to the contributions of tank/healers/support/aoe would encourage players to attempt a larger array of builds. As much as i think the current scoreboard is a poor and inaccurate indicator of personal performance, i still cant help but check it a few times throughout the game as its the only indicator we have to gauge our performance. If I and everyone knew how much healing i was dishing out instead of just seeing a low score because you cant tap anyone, then playing that spec would be much more rewarding especially in a game with no real rewards. And yes i am a hotjoin hag and i rarely tourney
I think more detailed stats would also be beneficial to the esport aspirations of gw2 and would open up a whole new forum for debate and comparisons. Kinda like how espn is always goin on about stats of players
And if there are those who are new and dont want people to see how bad they are they could have an option to not have their info revealed (just removed from scoreboard so people dont talk crap).
I think this would be great for pvp as long as it doesnt expose heavy class imbalance
