in WWW ist a huge Problem. basically theres always some lag around, doesnt matter if you solo/small Group roam or zerg around (even if you are alone on other side of map, when theres a bigger Group battle going on every1 on the map gets lag).
so what happens with lag is, u RTL to some1, but due to lag u end up a few Yards away – it Counts as not hitting your target, bam full cd. with my other classes i can accept not hitting stuff due to lag – warrior rush, ok i dont hit my target, every1 else gets hit by lag aswell, no biggie, but at least MY COOLDOWN DOESNT GO UP!
so WWW Shows exactly why a design like that is totally bullkitten in an mmo where theres always Problems due to lag. simply designing skills like that should be a big no go for any competent mmo Designers.
People whine about this rng System day in day out, and i cant stop laughing and shaking my head over this hypocrisy.
every single one of them knows its a rng System, meaning RANDOM; every single one of them knows the Chance to get the Thing he wants is minimal; and yet they throw their Money in the wind like the true geniuses they are.
I mean srsly, this is a prime example of the not overly smart part of our Population, to put it diplomatically.
noone Forces you to spend your Money, if you do, you deserve whatever kitten rng is coming your way. stop blaming others (namely anet) for your own Actions.
But lately I’ve been hearing a lot about how necros suck 1v1 in sPvP and in WvW. I know they’re great in team fights…but I can’t help it. Unless I can hold my own in 1v1 situations I just don’t feel good about myself. I don’t want to travel with a zerg in WvW and if I can’t roam with security on my necro I’ll just feel I made a horrible class choice.
I can feel you, I really can. Im pretty much in the same boat. One of my classes is a d/d ele, and once you are used to that, going back to my necro is just too painful.
necros are very strong 1on1 against pretty much everything, but solo or small group roaming means most of all mobility. if you run with 3 ppl and see 10-15 coming towards you, you run. and necro cant do that, simple as that. necros only downside is mobility, and sadly thats too much of a downside for me personally in www.
simple solution: orb carrier should get whole new set of abilities instead of weapon skills, problem solved. disable utilities while carrying the orb while you are at it aswell.
otherwise u’ll always have classes that excel at carrying orbs/flags/balls whatever. every game before gw2 had this problem, why should it be different here? druids/rogues/mages in WoW, sith warriors/assassins in swtor, just to name 2 examples.
people play d/d because its not only the by far best option for eles, its also one of the best specs out of all classes (talking about the infamous bunker spec ofc). everyone knows it, everyone whined about it, we know the outcome (nerfs last patch).
now i dont play any of the other classes or specs that are deemed op atm, like thief or mesmer; my other 80s are warrior, necro and ranger. and you realise very fast how strong d/d ele is compared to those classes when u got experience on all of them. I’m talking in terms of pvp/www here. I would love to play my other toons more, but everytime i do i start to regret the decision 15 min later. thats how spoiled you get when you are used to playing d/d ele.
I think they should adjust Unsuspecting Foe to also trigger on knockdowns (Backbreaker, Bull’s Rush, Ground Stomp (blowout)). It would really shine, then.
If this is insisted on, my suggestion is adding one second of additional base swiftness to what is gained from elemental attunement trait by switching to air.
I completely disagree. Eles are still the fastest roamers in the game even without perma swiftness and the RTL nerf in TPvP.
I still think it’s a tossup between eles, warriors, and thieves.
its not, and it never was.
warrior with greatsword sword and warhorn was and even more so is now always faster than an ele, same goes for a thief.
warrior is totally ok, hes using 2 mobility weaponsets to achieve it; thief on the other hand …
Im mostly exclusivly playing WwW on my ele, and 15 sec CD was just the right timeframe to dive into something, do your stuff, and get out again, the typical thing d/d eles do, we all know it.
so i specced 0/20/0/20/30 now, am squishier than before, but i got my cd back (+ 1 sec, but who cares). 20 sec CD on aura and 32 on Updraft help aswell to ease my pain for losing 10 in water.
culling IS unfixable for them. if it was fixable, it would have been fixed long ago.
they even tried different things to improve it, and none really helped.
where the true reasons are one can just speculate: lack of manpower (they admitted to just have 2 devs responsible for class balance stuff, and that for a mmo, I mean can it get more hilarious) and how their game engine is built up, the 2 most important reasons most likely.
they wont nerf stealth either; the game is half a year old, and again, if they wanted to nerf it (or better: adjust it to the fact that their engine cant handle stealth properly) then they would have already done it.
regardless of any discussions between different class abilities here
its totally strange if a skill got a 1200 range by description´, yet its true range is higher because it travels faster than similar movemnt skills ….
change the description to 1500 yards and be done with it.
realized that a few days after game start, when i was levelling up my warrior together with my friends ele. rush got 1200 range aswell, and an ele using rtl ends up further away than a warrior using rush.
explanation we had back than is that rtl as skill works faster than rush, so u move faster, similar as when u got swiftness buff on you you rush further also.
well, necros are certainly not op. but with a condi build (i have no experience with power builds) they can be very strong.
ofc u need to know whatyou are doing, but that goes for any class. get the right spec, get the right gear for it, and l2p it, and youll see how strong necros can be.
as long as memsmers and thiefs stay unnerfed, eles should too.
how much ever u whine about it, those 2 classes are still stronger on an overall point of view.
why do i always get the feeling, when ele whining is involved, its mostly coming from thieves who cant comprehend why they just cant kill them as fas as most other classes …
GS is an utility weapon, it works with power or with condition spec, doesnt really matter. and compared to other melee variants, GS got strong mobility with swoop.
Talking about WWW here now, I just need some fast travel/escape tool, thats why i hate running with SB and axe/dagger/torch.
next week, away from that locust swarm server, should be interesting again, cant wait! curious if we can rearrange again to the level we achieved before ruin joined us.
We aren’t expecting RUIN to carry us. It’s just that RUIN say we need to get better during primetime. They need to realise that we constantly get owned by the rendering bug and the sudden swarm of RG members. Also RUIN aren’t the ones to judge EU guilds because we continue to fight hard during the day, whereas RUIN saw that they now have oppositon and quit. This clearly shows that RUIN are overated and they only caused us to gain points because they took empty keeps.
continue to fight hard during the day?
sorry to burst your bubble, but we are kinda last during mornings, early afternoons, and mostly late afternoons aswell. and todays prime time … well, no other comment needed really. total disaster is what comes to mind.
I start to think its really ruins nightforce, and nothing else, that made us triumph the last 2 weeks.
everyone who plays in tier 1 knows the situation anyway, anyone else doesnt matter. we deso players should be more than thankful for those french manouvers, after all they knitted our server tighter together than anything else before.
