Guild Wars 2

Having Chrnomancer reset elites is too powerful imo, either make it not reset elites or make Portal a elite

1+

Moa is far from OP. I have never died due to Moa. Ever. Portal is not worthy of being an Elite. Like seriously guys, play these OP specs and understand them and how to counter them before coming in and saying there is no counterplay and something needs a nerf.

MrKrataus.6420:

Understand what, if you can tell what counterplay you can bring agains’t an outnumber moa play, I’ll be happy to hear it, I’ve most likely explained this is a teamQ issue where burst can be coordinated and +1 too, in SoloQ moa isn’t a big deal.

so even though you’re talking about also being outnumbered, the only thing causing you to lose is being moa’d?? i call BS.

you do realise you can quite easily down a player as a moa? especially in a group fight where someone may not be prepared for a moa attack

Or you can disengage from the fight if you get Moa’d it’s not like you have to sit there and take the beating, Moa is a CC that allows you to continue to attack, and to disengage, the look on mesmers and engies faces when you turn around and down them after they Moa you is priceless.

Moa have a strong offensive attack, it’s easy to down players with it, if you know what you are doing and not running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

As a side note, I’d happily have Portal as an elite.

As for moa – they could do the engi treatment and make it an AoE with reduced duration (ie 5 seconds) – that’s enough time to use skill #5 for evade and one or two dodges if necessary while still being long enough to be punishing if getting hit.

Mr blaqueFyre u realize we are talking about high lvl play not random soloq action. You are going to get stunned and bursted by 2ppl and you are not going to kill anyone with moa.

Wait… wat?

ah, you’re one of those guys that get Moa’d and just stand there and do nothing? This game will never be balanced around 1 vs 1, I’ve rarely die to being CC to a Moa in a team fight.

LMAO. Can confirm. I was the beak. Moa next meta elite specs gtfo kappa

Funfact: Berserker warriors keep the torch fire field when moa’d.
So you get a giant flaming Moa chasing after you.

The nice thing about moa complaint threads is that they’re a foolproof method of identifying people that are simultaneously not worth my energy to ever interact with, and free kills (without moa) when encountered in pvp.

Meh, the only gripe I have with moa is that is completely nullifies Death Shroud health and removes minions from Necros.
At least it gives us some mobility though \o/

I’ve rarely been downed while in Moa form, partly thanks to the excellent escape skill Moas come with.

It’s an Elite that forces you to disengage (or not, as people have mentioned Moas actually do a surprising amount of damage), turning for example 2v1s into 1v1s for 10 seconds. It’s not really that good for securing kills on the Moa’d target.

Against decent opponents that is. If you run around like a headless chicken when Moa’d then yeah, you’d be an easy kill; but you’ll probably be an easy kill when not Moa’d too if you panic easily.

.

Anyways, consider this. Moa Morph has remained in its current form (barring the change to Signet of Humilty) for three years with no changes or complaints from higher level play. Doesn’t that tell you something?

If you get locked down in Moa and killed chances are you were going to die anyways regardless of the Moa. Seriously, if you are having so much trouble with being Moa’d that you feel the need to come to the forums and complain about it and ignore everyone’s advice, then you are probably in no position to act like you have any more skill in this game than the average player. It’s like shouting out "Hey guys I’m a noob!"
