Ah yes. What would the forum be if there wasn't a poll with bias options.

Can I ask what exactly is wrong with tryharding to try and win a tournament? I mean every time you mention it OP its like "I was winning but then they took **my win** away from me!!". Don't they deserve to beat you if they are trying harder than you are to win? They are literally trying harder than you are so why shouldn't they? You even say: >but it still takes away the fun for folks who aren't try hard enough. Like me. You aren't owed victory. >Sure you don't want to be winning ATs for 84% of the match, to have enemies swap mid-match to roll over 2 of your teammates. And we're just memeing so neither of us wanting to switch to re-counter them. You also admit to not playing seriously, knowing what you can do to continue your win streak but you're not doing it / willing to do it. Again if they are willing to and are trying harder than you they should be beating you.

People seem to have a grandiose vision of fishing when in reality if it ever got implemented it would just be a press [f] to fish and you would just get the progress bar like every other harvesting method.

Gaining stability and breaking stuns are two completely separate things. They are both independent hence why they are down as two separate skill facts in the tool tips

Literally in the reveal demos they describe it as being and having support... "torment your foes and support your allies" and a paraphrase the devs when demoing scourge in HotM "we wanted to give necro more support but we couldnt just give it to them," The only things that caused it to be a "condi dps spec" were the two bugs. One causing dhuumfire to proc on desert shroud pulses and another that caused shades to stack. It was always indented to be support heavy. Support, condition, and area control are all things scourge are and was designed to be from the very group up. Saying it "was supposed to be condi dps but people complained so anet changed its entire design to support because thats what people thought" is factually wrong.

> @"Axl.8924" said: > Its also people's fault that they gave anet the idea scourge was support, even if it was originally meant to be a condi aoe spec. What? Anet themselves said they intended it to be a support

> @"Axl.8924" said: > I wouldn't know about engineer never played the class but Necro i'm more familiar with, and reaper already does great for melee power, unless you plan to make a melee condi spec. I thought that much was obvious with the necro has one true condi weapon and only one core melee weapon. Necro literally has a single strong condi weapon in sceptre. Another main hand weapon that doesn't overlap with it would be good. It's why I say mace or sword. As for no shroud. The reason I say it is it's a little easier to justify stuff that's strong / impactful when you don't have a massive health shield to worry about along sit it. Also , for me at least, using it as a resource for things like how scourge does is more interesting.

> @"Axl.8924" said: > Thats the reason though, what dadnir said: Reaper is already covering melee type and scourge covers aoe. The same way hammer was already covering melee for the engi elite specs so there was no need for sword? Just because its another melee weapon doesn't mean there isn't a design space for it.

> @"Axl.8924" said: > > @"jpsssss.7530" said: > > I want a condi focused elite spec for necro thats not peepee poopoo. Bonus points if they give us new weapons altogether. > > Why not a single target range focused necro elite spec? The others aren't really ranged Because melee/melee ISH ( think else dagger ) makes the most sense I feel. Almost everything about necro bar reaper and a handful of other things are medium to long range already. Necro also has one core melee weapon and only has one true condi weapon in sceptre. Would be really surprised it it wasn't a sword or mace melee spec. I also expect it to be shroudless

I hate that after I have used my defensive skills my opponent can just keep hitting me.

If you actually want to learn anything in such a group setup, it will be stressful, there's no avoiding that. Learning raid encounters when you're all new to the content is an extremely painful process. Sure, some players actually enjoy that, but that doesn't make it any less of a hard and highly demanding work. > > > > >I am also speaking from the point of the person that often did the organizing of such groups.

I mean, I don't even see _that_ much correlation, really. Chill means (imo): take it easy, take it slow (much like the condition :) ). Whereas enjoying something is incredibly subjective, right??? If I have learnt anything from this thread "chill" is just as subjective as "enjoy"

So I hit a guy with Maul into WI and then he tries to run away, only to watch his health pool disappear over the course of 10s as he teleports away around a corner and completely disengages me, but still goes into downstate. There is something about "Getting away but then still dying" that really triggers people. And as much as some would not want to admit this, it is absolutely 100% true. > When the Feb balance patch happened all power damage and **sustain** was nerfed but not the condi output and damage. This is just false... >As such Conditions are overtuned at the moment and it should be addressed. >I don't understand why that concept is that is that difficult to grasp. Because they aren't. Stop conflating burn guards strength with conditions being strong overall. If condi was universally strong there would be more builds using them. I see no complaints about condi warrior, condi engi, condi ranger etc etc. Whenever a condi build is strong these threads pop up that conditions are a problem and when asked why often to almost always the build(s) that is a problem is referenced as the reason. Every. Single. Time. Complaints about condi due to fire ele, fire ele nerfed, complaintss stop. Complaints about condi due to mirage and condi theif, where are they now after the enrfs? Complaints about condi due to scourge...would you look at that.. I mean look at the thread and its title. Is burning abusing or complained about because 7/9 classes have access to it and its being used to wreck people on all of them or is it 1 of those that's causing the issue? When burn guard sees some nerfs or falls out the meta /cheese pick the same thing will happen.
