Its because with a proper condi build scourges meld people in spvp. Yeah the defense is lackluster for scourges but who need defense when you can meld your opponents with overwhelming condi burst.
I am certain we will some dmg nerfs (atleast for pvp). I just hope we get some changes to barriers. Maybe its just that i am not used to them but i think ether the timer should start later or the decay should be slower.
Totally agree. I only test a while about scourge but I encountered many in PVP this weekend. I think it is by far the most powerful condi class in the game. None other class can stack as much condi in terms of stacks, types and speed. I once got one shot by her condi along (there is also another melee but I didn’t notice his class). I had protection on me so either her direct damage is so high that one shot me, which is unlikely, or the stack of condi is so high. This is really strange since I cannot figure out how she did it. The shroud skill isn’t suppose to stack but I kind of felt like it did.
