Most easy, yes. Its still good and has alot in its kit thats usefull in wvw but if you look at dmg alone its not that good anymore.

All power dmg was reduced by 33%.

Simply, stacking 20-30 necros isnt as good anymore as is used to be and thats a good thing.

Because before the last balance patch, scourge was not only the easiest but also the most effectiv.

Now alot of other option deal more raw dmg.

So, the people who want to farm loot or just want no complicated gameplay still play necro.

The people that want effectivness switched to other options.

Well yes but not as much as they used too.

Its not only easy to play but hits the most enemies, which means lots of lootbags.

Scourge or base well bomb necro is the easiest class in wvw

Good luck ?

Maybe its a weekly rotation.

Monday: Dolphin

Tuesday: Dark

Wednesday: Dolphin

Thursday: Dark

Friday:Dolphin

Saturday:Dark

Sunday:Dolphin

That would explain that both Monday and Sunday are Dolphin

This request is on the same level cute as it is insane.

Love it.

We are almost at the point people want mesmer to be . Deleted.

I have meet exactly one toxic person in the last 3 months and he got immediately kicked from the squad.

Sure, some idiots here and there but nothing i would discribe as toxic.

EU

Im still wondering why someone would ask a guy who can only change numbers about programming issues.

Imagine a world were guild advertising etc would a allowed on the wvw forum.

What a clownfiesta that would be.

CmC the PvP/WvW Balance Dev said it on MightyTeapots stream.

DH nerfs WILL come.

Why?

Because DH will be the new Fotm because an Anet Dev said "its the best class in the game".

This leads to massiv outcrys for Nerfs on the Fourm.

The rest comes naturaly.

Imagine playing PvP and not watching MightyTeapots stream with CmC the PvP/WvW Balance Dev as a guest.

**Furious Pounce**

Damage: 1,108 (4.168)

:o

Can i have this on my Warrior?

You are a very wierd man.

Ok. Lets look at the Skill History.

Maul Started at 406 (1.1).

Pre HoT: 645 (1.6)

HoT: 706 (1.75)

Pre PoF: 706 (1.75)

PoF: 706 (1.75)

Current Version in WvW/PvP: 549 (1.36)

April 2, 2020

* Bug Fix:

* Revenant:

* Coalescence of Ruin: Fixed a bug that caused this skill to inflict more damage than intended.

CoR is still bugged btw.

The wrong Aoe placement etc.

Like... that has to be a joke right?

Decent access to AoE stability + decent support has always been key and will probably always be. Now, deleting Firebrand would only shift the balance into bringing more revenants probably since it is the next class with easier access to AoE stability.

Engineers, revenants, elementalists and event thieves are usually present in the class composition of the WvW guilds. If only rangers and mesmers would get a little more love, they could be brought into them as well.

> Don't know why people still underestimate the power of rangers in pretty much everything wvw pvp pve they do have easy access to aoe stability and other things with soulbeast leader of the pack trait and it makes me the mvp of every fight we do not to forget that the sustain rangers kit provides is a bit OP for a zerker build... :>

The problem ranger always had is the choice of weapons.

If you compare soulbeast and herald , trait and utility skill wise , they are almost identical.

Both would focus most traits into increasing thier own dmg while buffing others with an aura ( spotter / assasine aura) and facets/stance share.

But rev has hammer while ranger has not a single good weapon for wvw.

If ranger had a good range non projectile aoe weapon, soulbeast would instantly be meta.

But when they hide they are not on the point.

Well true. I have a perm extractor. I always forget how annoying it must be without one.

Are you ok GewRoo?

I know its a rough time but maybe stay away from the bottle.

Early HoT was when Rev could 1shot full soldier gear guards with CoR.

Early HoT was when tempest could be 100% dmg and condi dmg immun at the same time.

Other classes could archiv like 90% dmg immunity.

When chill from reaper hits for 1500 per second.

When a group of boon share mesmers could give an 80 man zerg all boons basicaly perma and 25 stacks.

When resistance was a boon everyone had 24/7 thanks to chrono and anet nerfed it into the ground which cause a condi meta that killed many guilds.

I remember the good old stacking of condi shout reaper , when you could get 50 bleed stacks for just getting in the 800 range of a 20 man guild.

Stealth abuse, were you could bomb another guild and they did see you 3 seconds later.

HoT was a shitshow of balance and the worst WvW we ever had.

2 rings.

You can use the ring with and without animation at the same time.

> Neither scrapper or tempest have access to aoe burn/weakness/cripple etc etc while supporting. Maybe just maybe **shared stability should be very very limited** and devs should force people to bring at least one form of personal stability instead than monopolize the game with the only class capable of multiple source of shared stability.

Uhhh... tempest spams fire aura for burn and the 10 target shout trait applies weakness no?

Tempest even has access to cripple and if played ,massiv aoe imob spam with arcane.

If you play blinding ashes , you can even blind spam on mass on a zerg.

Seriously dude, you overestimate how good scourge and firebrand are currently .
