I personally do not like durability runes on power berserker and instead I prefer scrapper or pack runes.

In any case you can’t go wrong with boon duration anyway so…

The skill is overloaded with effects for something so spammable.

The 1 second daze plus the blind makes it more annoying than anything giving the condi zerker enough time to charge another one.

Remove the blind. Plz plz plz

Daze duration reduced to 0.50 seconds single target
or 0.25 and the daze effect is in an AoE.

This far is actually good enough to make the skill much more tolerable imho. However if further nerfs are needed then could consider…

Remove the cripple.

Confusion stacks are too much. Remove 1 stack
Compensate with additional 2 bleed stacks and 1 confusion stack on ’ruppting the target.
Even when the daze becomes AoE the main load of the skill remains single target.

I do not mind condi zerkers doing massive damage if they chose strength since they forgo defense or dicipline

Unless condi chrono/war are nerfed.....

in PvP

Posted by: Oslaf Beinir.5842

Oslaf Beinir.5842

I hate sitting idle at work so lets waste time typing nonsense

Condi Berserker: Longbow primal burst procing both AH and CI consistently is the most annoying thing about it. CCing them in zerker mode to interrupt the burst is hard due to pulsing stability. Gutting longbow might just retire it to the dusty shelf and I know build diversity is on an all time low since HoT so dunno how to go about that personally.
Mace Primal burst is a bit overpowering and could stand to have its blind removed, and daze duration reduced to 1/2 second for starters. Remove 1 confusion stack and compensate by having the skill apply 5-6 stacks on confusion on interrupt built into the skill.
I am not in favor of nerfing AH though. It has helped power warriors climb out of the rubble again and it is fun watching them about instead of condi variant. well the trade off is that defense is now stapled into all viable warrior builds.

Condi chrono: As much as I hate the build and its defensive weapon choices I honestly have no idea how you’d like to nerf it even more. The synergy between the trait choices is just that powerful. Chrono: alacrity and clone ammo generation. Illusions shorter cooldown on everything from clone skills on every weapon to shatters cooldown and torment and confusion all of them and alacrity fuels it even more. Inspiration sturdy as hell phantasmal defender and the almighty Restorative illusions that rewards you for spamming shatters. The natural synergy built in is quite amazing indeed.

Scrapper: add a cast time to medic gyro so we could intrupt the heal and I think it wouldnt be as annoying. projectile based classes and classes with weak sustained damage have a hard time against scrappers but they wont kill you with their damage unless you let them stay on top of you. Ironically I like killing them with GS/Rifle warrior. If yu hate the class so much just roll a necro with CB and corrupt after elixir C is used. with no healing turret it will go down eventually.

WvW wise both Condi Warriors and Scrappers can be kited around worn out and killed since they can’t chase and wont be able to stop you. Condi chrono however…no use in beating a dead horse.

PvP>Warhorn. mobility and extra lifeforce.

These are the two builds I usually run. I dont run axe/shield that often and if I ever do it will be the same as the Rifle build with sigil of draining replaced by energy.

I tend to favor the Rifle variant and sometimes use another rifle which has air sigil instead of draining.

The defense grandmaster traits I change between LS and CI depending on the flavor of the roamers and the abundance of condis. I would only use RR in a duel cuz getting chain cc’ed is a death sentence and I need more reliable stab to stomp which outrage is not going to fullfill reliablely.

I do keep a spare condi build in the inventory if someone is gonna provide some swiftness for the ride but that is rarely the case

ele and necromancer=new player

in Necromancer

Posted by: Oslaf Beinir.5842

Oslaf Beinir.5842

PvP: Both classes are boring to play atm due to the lack of build diversity and being slaves to teamfights to shine. Elementalists play the healing bots role that seek out team fights to support their damage dealing teammates whilst bringing no damage or mobility of their own. Necromancer is stuck with the squishy corruptor condi dps that needs baby setting ironically from an ele or any other support class to stay alive. Power necro has been long gone from the ranked pvp scene just like power ele. Playing power on either is like putting a “Kill me please” sign. RiP build diversity, it is just disappointing.
Every pvp game needs an elementalist to carry but not so much a necromancer. I’d not play either class in ranked pvp unless I have to.

Raid: Using the raiding meta builds both classes are popular and are commonly taken as damage dealers in raids while still providing some group utility. Viper Necro is more welcomed than Power necro in a raid setting. Marauder/Zerker Elementalists are the normally used builds but some groups opt for a healer ele and tank eles. I have never been in a group that welcomed a condition ele though so…in anycase a couple of raid encounters heavily favors eles over necros for the burst damage potential and somtimes will require you to readjust your build and weapons to suit the encounter but you can’t go wrong with either.

WvW: First never equip full set of berserker gear on either classes(dont use your pve build) unless you are crazy careful and pick your target, otherwise rip npcs and players would turn you to dust and theives would prey on you if they see you and know what you run. Solo/Duo Roaming wise both suck but are still viable due to OP food and gear and the general low quality of players in wvw. Small Scale Skermish/ Havoc team both are very valuable to any group as long as you watch your positioning and not overstep your bounds. This is very build and group comp dependent and you could get away with any type of a reasonable build here. For zergs both classes in power/support builds are the backbone of any decent zerg/guild raid. For zerging and large scale battles seek out your local commanders on the server you play on.

Yes I like killing time at work writing nonsense xD

Allowing people to choose stats for each gear piece individually would turn pvp into wvw

Look at wvw then think again if that would be wise. There are a lot of builds there that would disintegrate the meta and it is not even counting the condi cancer all through the fine tuning of stats….it could work since food and other op runes/sigils/ascended equipment wouldn’t exist in pvp so go figure

Season 4 Nerf Wish List

Oslaf Beinir.5842

Ele’s out going healing reduction somehow
Ele’s abundance of AoE projectile defense needs a shave somewhere…its even worse’s than scrapper’s personal projectile hate since those magnetic auras and swirling winds can deny projectile weapons for a very long time and it is not just a personal buff but a team wide one. Maybe then my DH team mates wont be such an eyesore to have on a team.

Warrior’s Adrenal Health needs a small ICD on the proc

Warrior’s Skullgrinder needs a 1-2 stack shave to confusion stacks and removal of the blind. To compensate this the skill can inflict additional confusion stacks/bleed stacks/vulnerability /whatever on interrupt

Thief’s Impacting disruption needs 1-2 seconds ICD
Thief’s Unhindered Combatant given a short ICD on removing the movement impairing conditions (3-4 seconds?). trivializing those conditions as long a dodge is available might not be so fun for the other side.

Scrapper’s Medic Gyro needs 0.5 second cast time since it is a heal skill still.Healing Turret’s cast time was increased so it could be interrupted in time so same treatment maybe?

Herald’s Sword 2 given a proper animation maybe? pretty please?
Herald’s Staff 5 murdered and buried in the dirt to be forgotten…does not matter how it is achieved as long as it finally happens…Equilibrium is bad enough

Reaper’s GS auto attack damage and speed reduction
GS 2 cast time increased to 3 seconds
Lich Form auto attack damage increase so they kill self faster

well my own personal nerf wishes but anything that increases build diversity that can be done by the wise devs is quite welcome at this point where everyone play the same builds. need more hippies coming up with fun odd builds would be a breeze of fresh air for the next season of queue simulator

Deathly chill

in Necromancer

Posted by: Oslaf Beinir.5842

Oslaf Beinir.5842

Chill applies 2 stacks of X (Bleed/Torment take a pick). Foes you chill receive reduced incoming boon duration and and each new subsequent chill application extends the duration of all damaging conditions on target.

2 stacks of X: 10 seconds
-30% duration of incoming boons
+4 seconds of current damaging conditions (10 seconds internal cooldown)

well this would sound more deathly to me than a mere 1 almighty stack of bleed. Or that would be too strong of a debuff…either way i dont think the devs would take a more creative route with something they just wanted dead and gone anyway

Condi blighters boon?

in Necromancer

Posted by: Oslaf Beinir.5842

Oslaf Beinir.5842

Personally, I have always run curses so I would not use BB at all as I value the weakness spam over the questionable sustain of BB and either way I have no means of boon generation that would make BB worth it without Spite.

Still I think Deathly Chill wins even with Spite equipped. 1 chill application if you build for it would put a nice number of conditions on the target and might trigger passive effects on weak condition stack (plague sending)/cleanses/foe holding on with offense early on due to panic from the condi overload(restorative illusions/healing sig active) that is to come. A nightmare/grenth passive procs become more powerful with DC.

If you will stick to BB u will need to actively generate boons to keep your shroud and health up and condi style might not be the best way to go about it…anyway I find it easier to build around DC then BB for condi. Maybe someone else got a better setup for integrating BB into a condi build than the one I suggested and would touch on it better….

same as power reaper?
swap to Spite, grab SS/SoS at grandmaster: Might/Retal
Grab CV on Reaper: Might
SR: well gotta make the 111 spam in RS meaningful?

Runes: something with boons? Aristocracy or Durability or Reaper or w/e
Sigils: some Battle Sigils and/or strength(if built with more crit chance)

Food: condi stuff business as usual

maybe something like this? carrion could work too

And you just noticed this kitten design for the skill just now?

Why, it’s been there in the game for quite a while now after HoT and yet now is the time to call out OP on it. If it isn’t Meta it is ok we’ll turn a blind eye, but once it is Meta then it’s time to pick up the pitchforks.

The skill should have been looked at and adjusted long before for inflicting so much in one swing.

I am feeling sorry for you guys but this is so much a pure comedy that me and guildies couldn’t help but L0L and make joke around it for a few mins.
