I’m kinda shocked how many people here don’t understand the value of the moa signet.
“Moa signet is really only for when your team can’t break a bar to save their life.”
“This is the setup I run when raiding. Moa helps if your team members are sleeping on cc,[…]”You did notice that my sentences went on right? Conveniently placing a … and leaving out the exact quote in my sentence which you are complaining about is, well petty. Here let me requote my full sentence:
Moa helps if your team members are sleeping on cc, the breakbar is big and/or important like on Matthias or when basic rotation is very easy.
Easily put you Moa when 1 or more of the following conditions is met:
A. your team sucks
B. the breakbar is big
C. the breakbar is importantOn almost all bosses with bigger breakbars it is your duty to break bars efficently. Moa is an almost instant 1000 breakbar dmg skill that does NOT require you to interrupt your rotation or swap weapons (I can’t stress this aspect enough, also it’s ranged and does not need to be aimed).
In which case the effort they have to bring is in direct contest with the amount of damage TW adds to the group if no perfect rotation is possible. If the breakbar is small and not important, TW can easily come out on top.
Basically any other valuable cc does require people to interrupt whatever they are doing or even delay their rotations.
Again, the delay and loss in dps others take is competing with the loss your group has without TW (which I already mentioned is small the closer you get to a perfect rotation).
Now let’s look at what I had posted about bosses:
Wing 1 –
VG – Moa or TW, usually Moa especially when I’m tanking
Gorse – Moa, keeping up perfect rotation is quite easy so TW is not needed
Sabatha – TW – TW far ourscales Moa as far as Knuckles breakbar versus damage loss goes, no MoaWing 2 –
Sloth – Moa
Trio – TW – both work but the breakbars on Trio are not important and not big, TW again wins easy due to the nature of not stacking in this fight
Matthias – MoaWing 3
Escort – TW – no breakbar, no Moa
KC – Moa
Xera – MoaWing 4
Cairn – TW – no breakbar, no Moa
Mursaat – TW – no breakbar, no Moa
Samarog – Moa or TW, usually Moa
Deimos – TW - should have added I usually tank Deimos, but when every team I’ve been here with manages to break Sauls breakbar in the time it takes me to activate Moa, TW is a viable replacement even as utility mesmerI’m kinda shocked how many people here don’t understand the value of the moa signet.
Yes be shocked as much as you like, but you are putting words in peoples mouths which were not said that way.
No, all your points are only true if you think that 2-3 seconds out of quickness is worse than horrible cc, which is not the case. If your rotation leaves you out of quickness for longer than that every full circle, timewarp won’t save you anyway. The problem here is that people make it sound like moa/gw is used in rare cases and TW is meta, but it’s actually the other way around. There are very (VERY) few situations were TW is the better choice even if your rotation is suboptimal. [Unless we are talking about open world, but peopleplay what ever they want here anyway.)

Basically any other valuable cc does require people to interrupt whatever they are doing or even delay their rotations. Even if they do that, not even a ranger/druid can do that much cc in such a short period of time. Breaking bars fast is a heavy relief for the whole group and if youplay with tempests also a significant dps boost.

Downstate-Rotation for Ele might actually be a viable option now LUL.
One thing that I’d like changed is how often pets get knocked back and interrupted by Ensolyss. I don’t like how my Frost Spirit gets pushed around so much that I have to just destroy it and resummon it eventually.
I noticed that the bombs in the Hallucination Maze targeted defeated players which felt strange.
I think the health on the boss in Tier 4 might be a tad high. It might be because of how the transitions on this boss go though. Currently we fight 33% of the boss’ health in the first phase, 33% in the second, 18% in the third and 15% in the fourth. I think it might feel better if it was 30%/30%/25%/15%.
I have done the last boss of 100cm quite a few times now and I have never seen a downstead player survive his charge attack when it hits with all hits. Not even warriors with their 20k+ life. So you are either lying, misinterpreted the situation or your or my runs were rigged.
Use Moa if rdy. Communicate it with your group because it does 1000 Breakbar dmg and other people might not want to waste theirs.
Propably because they can’t just implent it anymore due to upgrades they made to the game engine. They most likely would have to re-do the whole thing almost from scratch for it to work in the current state of the game.
First of all, they should fix the german translation of SoL. I almost had an heart-attack.
Funny, how all these Threads pop-up now AFTER the fractals were made easier, not before.
I tried this build vs a few guildies in our Gh today. They didn’t stand a chance and it was really fun to play.
Are you kidding me? They nerfed the fractal difficulty so hard it almost doesn’t feel like an achievment anymore. I wish they had implented a title called “I did all 100 fractals when they still were difficult”.
I don’t get people whining about being killed in wvw. If i see an enemy, I try to kill him, end of story, I don’t care how many mates I have around or not.
Just when I thought the hate towards Abaddon was unwarranted….but it’s nice for once not being the one bullied :P
