Guild Wars 2

Remove all Global Cool-downs from traits, food buffs, sigils, runes. Just turn them off. (Except Quickness ones. :P)

This would make WvWvW a bit crazy mind you, but it would be a direct counter to Zerging, if I am able to become really powerful alone and take on some people (which IMO, is how it should be.) then people would zerg a bit less and it would make zerging a bit harder. This is how it used to be, because someone with Omnomberry Pies could heal up from a bunch of people who stacked up.

This would also make AOE procs and damaging abilities a lot more damaging the more people inside them.

Punishes Zergs.

AOE Fire too.

Also WvW isn’t meant to be balanced.

Avoid the red circle.

I think you’ve confused aoe cap for global cool downs…..

Daecollo.9578:

Except the “zerg” also has no ICD’s so now all you have is a more powerful zerg…

This was my thought exactly. The OP is making it sound like he alone gets to be mroe powerful.

Simple math my friend.

If currently you can take on 1v2. Removing the GCD does not mean you can now take on 1v6. It still pretty much means a 1v2. Most likely because of increased damage spikes you will lose in a 1v2 situation without GCD and everyone will want to run with zergs MORE for the protection.

bad bad plan.

Daecollo, keep your stupid suggestions to the warrior forums, please.

Doesn’t work on arrow carts anymore and the trait is now junk with the cool down.

Yup that’s the point. If they removed the global cool downs of everything we could expect exploits again like leg specialist arrow carts.

It wasn’t an exploit, just a temporary feature.

Can’t call something an exploit since it wasn’t the players fault that happened. I ran with leg specialist all the time because it was a really good trait for a warrior cc build. It wasn’t my fault that just because I got on a arrow cart that my leg specialist worked. I also wasn’t on the arrow cart all that much either.

Bugs work through, not our fault that happens and I’m not going to change my character just to satisify you people that like to call this an exploit.

An exploit is when your take advantage of something not intended to work the way it does. In your same mindset people using windowed mode in order to use arrow carts and shoot magical arrows into impossible areas is ok and not an exploit. Do you chant “not my fault! Not my fault!” as you rain down obviously-not-exploited magical arrows through 30 feet of solid stone to kill interior siege?

EDIT: ooh and remember when there was that temporary feature where you could duplicate any piece of siege endlessly as many times as you wanted? Definitely not an exploit.

EDIT 2: ooh and that temporary feature where you could use the tunneling town clothes item to walk into towers and keeps.

They are all bugs.

I players taking advantage intentionaly of sige and tunneling is exploit since the players were knowingly and intentionally taking advantage of the bug for their gain.

Players using siege that also had leg specialist wasn’t an exploit. They were just playing the game.

Some things fall under the bug heading, other fall under the exploit heading. Too many people like to lable things as exploit, makes them all smug and feeling good when they can call something a exploit, when it shouldn’t called such. People get banned for exploiting.

People did not get banned for the arrow cart bug and I don’t care to be labeled as a exploiter because I do not exploit. I may have to deal with bugs but that doesn’t make me one to exploit.

Calling something an exploit is too strong of a word in many cases.

Traits proc’ing while using siege was a bug. So by your definition it was an exploit. Thanks for proving my point.

Simple solution to combat zergs (and give reason to defend towers); give say 5 defenders within the tower a buff (which they can pay gold for). Say it costs 2g for this buff, this what the buff should give:

- 50% increase in overall damage (both siege and regular)
– 100% increase in damage to enemies in groups of 25-35
– 200% increase in damage to enemies in groups of 35-49
– 300% increase in damage to enemies in groups of 50 +

- 75% decrease damage from all sources
- Immune to all forms of CC
- Siege is invulnerable while the player remains on it
- gain 50s per tick

Buff remains active on player indefinitely as long as they stay inside the structure.

Kills 2 birds with one stone, people are happy to defend and hold towers, zergs forced to break up unless they like 100%-300% damage raining down on them from arrow carts. There you go, Anet, make it happen.

WORST idea I’ve seen here. And I’ve seen some stinkers.
