Crime and Punishment. Nah, only punishment...

Incidentally, the practice of inconsistently rewarding or punishing the same behavior is a tactic employed in methods of mind control. Obviously this isn’t deliberate on GW2’s part (or at least I hope it isn’t), but this tactic is used to generate feelings of inferiority, hopelessness, and self doubt.

I had a giggle at this.

Just make friends and play with a team dude. There are four potential friends on your team every game you play.

They’ve already said that people they catch matchfixing to try to abuse MMR will be banned.

Would it be possible for you to offer some manner of response to the other aspects in his post? I trust that you read it, but I’m curious whether or not you contest this specific point or to the overall thesis posed here. If the latter; what qualms do you raise with the thesis?

Will Reapers be getting a nerf?

Posts like these are ridiculous because as a Reaper I can say exactly the SAME thing about Diamond Skin Auromancer Tempest – It’s literally like hitting a wall. Nothing I could do to drop its HP below 90% when running the Reaper build you are complaining about.

I could say the same thing again with Daredevils.

And yet again with Mallyx/shiro heralds.

That’s 3 counters, to me that says the build is fine.

Hello there! I noticed that you forgot that in Reaper’s Shroud the Necromancer gains access to some abilities they may not have in humanoid form. Fortunately, I was able to log into my Diamond Skin Tempest Auramancer. This allows me to present you the total health of one, and the armor I have in Earth Attunement as well.

Executioner’s Scythe Calculations
Damage Done = (weapon strength) * Power * (1.5) / target armor
Damage Done = (1111)(1900)(1.5) / 2698
Damage Done = 1173.6
Damage Needed To Cross Below 90%: 1899

So, one Executioner’s Scythe isn’t enough to get them below 90%. However, let’s couple together Executioner’s Scythe with Soul Spiral, which is another move the Reaper has at their disposal.

Damage Done (12x) = (weapon strength) * Power * (2.8) / target armor
Damage Done (12x) = (1111)(1900)(2.8) / 2698
Damage Done (12x) = 2190
Damage Needed To Cross Below 90%: 1899

Hmm. So it looks like even though Executioner’s Scythe alone isn’t enough to get the Diamond Skin Tempest below the 90% threshold, but it seems like Soul Spiral is adequate enough to do so.

What each class feels like in GW2!
