  1. I'm able to handle most other specs in 1v1s (except eles), but symbol guardian gives me a lot of trouble. They have a lot of blinds/blocks and symbols that easily force me off the node and limit my ability to counter pressure them. If I commit to the fight, I either cleanse too aggressively and get overwhelmed by burns with cover condis, or I die with shake it offs in the bank. Are there any particular openings I should be trying to exploit? Is this just a matchup I should avoid?

     

    I'm aware SB isn't in a great spot right now. I'm choosing to continue playing it anyway. Also, the shout/support SB build going around is pretty fun. Anyone know how good it is?

The problem isn't that I don't understand or am not experienced. I'm not the one complaining about getting ez'd by a noob spec. It's that I don't have these huge problems with reapers/lich you seem to. And I'm running a kitten scourge petting zoo. What's your excuse?

     

    I'm not interested in your agreement, but you're refuting that a skilled necro will find opportunities to utilize lich even against coordinated pressure by saying 'git gud'. You seem to not understand that the issue with lich isn't avoiding it for 10 seconds, it's the 1.5 seconds after they press the button and fire off 20k damage before you can react.

    Replying again as you have edited your post.

     

    Your issue is with the implementation of the balance of these trade-offs, not with the philosophy of elite specs having trade-offs. However, in your mind, there should never be a situation when core is better than an elite spec. You have not explained why, only given examples of changes made to classes as a result of their elite specs.

     

    To call back to my mention of TF2, which is a relatively well-balanced game, every class comes with a set of stock weapons, and you later get alternatives with trade-offs. An example is the soldier's black box - your maximum ammo capacity decreases from 4 to 3, but in exchange, you're healed when you hit someone. It is not distinctly better or worse than the default rocket launcher, and both are viable options that do different things. In your scenario of elite specs being downright better than core specs, the alternate weapons would be direct upgrades to the stock weapons, which only reduces the number of potential builds players can use. There are fundamentally no upsides to this. The only issue you've stated about trade-offs is with Anet's implementation of them, not the concept, which you're arguing against.

    I'm going to assume you have an explanation that you'll edit into your post? Right now every class has 3 specs that fill different niches. Look at Guardian - Core, DH, and FB are all vastly different builds that do different things (and core and FB even have variations within the spec). By making elite specs a direct upgrade, you'd be making ~1/3rd of the profession's builds obsolete. If you want to use a build that runs 3 of the original trait lines, you're immediately suboptimal because the class effectively only has two specs now. Your anti-trade off idea is like going back in time an expansion.

    ...Why? Trade-offs increase class diversity. Having elite specs be direct upgrades from core immediately ostracizes people who want to play core builds from any competitive game mode. I can't understand why you would want to _reduce_ class diversity in a meta where the majority of classes only have one viable build as is. Personally, I think a more TF2-style approach, where the core classes are all standard/viable, and the elite specs are sidegrades, would make the most sense.

    You don't have to "try to facetank a necro in lich" for lich form to be a problem. That's short-sighted.

    Also, you still haven't addressed the issue of reapers popping lich form out of shroud and firing off 2-3 attacks with quickness that are basically impossible to react to in time.

    And before you give the necro forum-mandated answer of "just pressure reaper lol", the issue isn't that you didn't pressure the reaper enough that they weren't able to get on top of you, it's that even with the pressure, the spec has the tools to safely reach you and unload 12k of lich bolts before you're able to answer it.

    Rampage had an atrocious cooldown and it was still busted. The infrequency doesn't matter if it's a huge problem when it is used.

  10. Mounts are nice, but they aren't necessary. I remember getting 100% world completion on my guardian like 6 years ago when I was too dumb to add a source of swiftness so I just used GS 3 to traverse the entire world. After HoT came out I would do core zones with my friends and feel like I was cheating for using my glider to complete content that was built to be completed without it. The mount is a luxury, and although it feels like shooting yourself in the foot and deliberately making content difficult, there's such a charm in doing the zones with only the tools they had in mind when they were designed.

    This is the biggest problem with the current iteration of reaper imo. The skill is really strong, but manageable normally, but the lightning-speed 6k (not an exaggeration) crits that hit you before you can react makes it frustrating.

Literally only good if you have 0 pressure on you (lol at high level play having 0 pressure on you as a necro) and people just stand there and allow themselves to be hit by it.

     

    Regardless of the skill level, it just isn't possible to keep pressure on somebody for the whole game. Reaper's survivability with shroud isn't terrible and they can keep the quickness from shroud when they enter lich form to get off 2-3 attacks that you can't do anything about.

    Reviving this ancient discussion just to tell you that this is a grossly facetious defense of an obviously broken skill (especially now that zerker reaper is meta)

    Arena is the only mode people care about in WoW, and WoW's PvP balance is atrocious right now. Even rated BGs are totally unimportant.

  14. Recently got back into the game after a hiatus, though I've been playing since release. I don't own PoF yet but I'm planning on snagging it in the future. I work night shift so I'm usually on from approx 10 pm CST to noon or so, and I'd like people to play with. I mostly do open world and sPvP but I've recently began WvW and would like to do some fractals or possibly raids in the future.

     

    Thanks for your time and consideration. Please feel free to ask any questions.

  15. Unless I'm mistaken, you won't have access to any elite specs (like scrapper or spellbreaker) until you're already pretty deep into the game (eg. You have to get a ton of HoT hero points (which can be pretty difficult) to get access to the HoT elite specs).

     

    Pick whichever profession is most appealing to you. They all have several viable solo/open world builds, though some are easier than others (ranger, necro).

    Feel free to look at metabattle for general ideas, but know that despite their ratings, pretty much everything is viable for solo play.

Playing a Warrior? USELESS. How come you not playing META or GREATS? This is Gold tier, you need to be playing the best. Why is this guy playing a Warrior, does he not KNOW that Warriors are not GREAT and ARE NOT META according to Metabattle??!?! smh, there goes my mmr.

    > BUFF The kitten outta these guys seriously.

    Surely this is satire, right?

  17. This is basically what my ranked experience has boiled down to. I do pretty well against basically everything but Holos. Just tell me what profession does the best against Holo so I can start learning it and stop losing based on how many more Holos the enemy team has.

    It was a group of mostly charr, but with other races with glowing blue eyes, and a large pair of glowing eyes behind them that moved (probably a dragon). It got clearer but aside from what I mentioned, everything was still covered in a snowstorm.
