So AoE nerf is what Anet’s vision of “reducing” zerging in w3. Does anet dev knows that if gw2’s AoE skills has a community in facebook, our AoE’s is already laughing stocks for others game AoE after the 5 ppl cap,nerfing damage or effectiveness again? Lets take an example (prior to main target took full damage and others will get split damage idea from previous post), elems’s meteor shower hit 3k per target, the main target took 3k and splits among others for let say they remove the cap to 10, it will be kitten 300 on each target ?! U might as well remove elementalist and give me a lvl 80 thief or warrior for refund. AoE is fundamental to counter zerg in every game, by all means u want to counter zerging in w3, cap should be remove and buff dmg to aoe so ppl dont clamp together in chock point like whats happening now. Revamp maps for w3 with more smaller spacing places and chock point, so stacking up means risking to get wipe easily, more flanking point so flanking and backstab tactic actually rewarding.

There was 1 post above mention bout we need to stack at gate to take keep i think (aoe destroy ppl stacking at gate ?!). Which is very absurd because u have catapult and treb to actually snipe the wall of keep, if u choose the brainless way to zerg the door while heavy aoe is around there its ur fault to suicide, nothing much can be said there.

D/D elem being very hard to kill, funny way to pick elem as the only hard-to-kill bunker class. Try “underpower” warrior that use gs sword/shield specs with full PVT gear, defensive traits and 3 utility skill thats only good for escaping, then we will have this conversation again. Nerfing d/d bunker elem just because u had a hard time killing him/her is not a valid argument, because most bunker class are hard to kill.

And lastly if Anet decide to go on nerfing AoE which pretty much is gonna happen judging by lost shore patch, please refund all other classes (necro,elem,engi, and ranger) with a lvl 80 warrior or thief with same par of gear and at the same time while u’re doing it remove those 4 job from job selection to avoid further confusion to player that theres actually these job to play with, because we know deep down inside our heart anet will gut these job anyway.

gw2 = guardian warrior 2? get warrior 2? gifted warrior 2? go warrior2? etc etc. That is what i’m thinking bout guildwars2 the game at the momment.
