Guild Wars 2

Sorry about your issue Spooky. There is even one posted there right now thats 14min olds. In all honesty tho I hope this happens to more people and they complain on the forums so anet will finally get on the ball and get there ingame lfg tool up and running.

This is why 3rd party sites are bad. Anet has no control over them.

AOE target limits are slipshod and arbitrary, they should be totally removed and replaced with dynamic scaling: i.e. an AOE damage spell will do less damage to each target affected as more targets are hit, but the spell will still hit all the targets. Simple and straightforward does it best.

ranger has traps, traps are powerful and that makes them decent in spvp. If ever traps are nerfed or lets say they were never in this game, ranger would be…. That not to say ranger doesn’t need a traits/utilities/weapon skills overhaul tho, because it needs it and needs it badly.

Why shouldn’t a smaller group have the tools to kill a larger group if they outplay them?

This.

On the face of it this proposed change is just utterly ridiculous especially for specs like staff eles that are nothing but aoe. Like the poster above me stated the effect on WvW will just be greater zerging, as it is the restriction of damage to only 5 people leads to more zerging this will just make it worst.

Anet if this is a change for sPVP please do it for sPVP only and I’d want to see iron clad justifications for making the change in PvE and WvW.

This isn’t true, and you know it. When my group kills 35-55 players, because we’re made up primarily of Area Effect builds, all wrapped up in a single group of five, there is an issue. We usually run Elementalist, Elementalist, Necromancer, Confusion Mesmer, and me Thief (my primary roll is to finish people off, and make sure they’re not rezzed), while adding Cluster Bomb damage. We slaughter countless groups much larger than us, thanks to the AE damage we can put out.

I will give you one thing though, if they lower the damage, they need to increase the number of targets hit.

How is that an issue? Why shouldn’t a smaller group have the tools to kill a larger group if they outplay them?

I myself am not a commander but it would definitely help out those in WvWvW if the ones giving out commands and such in map or team chat would have a symbol or something that lets everyone know that it is a commander giving out commands instead of some random person. Having their name change color or something special to let everyone know its the commander in the chat would really help.Not necessary but would be helpful to those following orders.
