Guild Wars 2

WvW is one of the most fun aspects of this game for me but I can’t help but notice that the zerg clusterkittens take away from the fun and skill of it. A simple fix imo would be to reverse the aoe nerfs. Yes initially the zergs will continue and the aoe spamming builds will rack up massive kills but I’m certain that people would eventually find out that smaller coordinated groups will allow for better results. This and the commander system would have to be revamped a little.

What are your thoughts on it? Should it be changed? Will it be changed? Because as far as I saw it Arenanet likes silly blob wars in WvW atm.

/Hope this doesn’t come over as a rant btw.

No, it’s a rant.

Look at it this way, it’s simple Napoleonic tactics in practice. You move in a group to amass the greatest damage at a single point. You have good interior lines for reinforcements and retreats.

The AoE caps were removed because it became too easy for elementalists to completely shut enemy groups out of towers with MS spamming.

It simply a rudimentary set of group tactics; which WvW should be about anyhow since it’s large scale combat.

Hopefully they’ll add a GvG format that will also encourage small group tactics > zerging
