Stand The Wall.6987

with how things are going, it seems like they are indirectly trying to delete pvp

i think every game has a few critical turning points. if your team doesn't pull thru, the snowball happens. i wonder what this game would be like with 3 5min rounds. maybe nothing would change.

imo scourge is trash in wvw now. reaper is fine in pvp.

yeah make one shots easier again

> contamination of purity lol, i bet i'll accidentally call it this now from time to time

> @"Shao.7236" said: > You can say the playerbase is dying because of the balance, **I'll keep telling you it's because people can't have their mindless fun so they quit.** balance is bad and people are leaving cuz of it, but this is generally true of human nature in video games.

i don't think people understand what they're saying when they say anet should balance for the top 100 players. if anet did that, the top 100 would create the most borkenested of all builds and not even a full team (if all goldies) could stop them. balance for g3/ p1 and let players own skill take them higher.

imo to have both daze/ evade on full counter seems redundant. i suggested removing daze entirely and adding damage back a while ago, i still think its the right move.

i'm guessing its marshal with an amulet that has some bonus vitality on it. virtues honor and either zeal or valor ah for additional tankiness.

some good shaves

dodge mes scepter 3 and as many bursts as you can. their bursts counter melee, so kite when they have a bunch of illusions. killing the illusions is the best option but don't go out of your way to do it, aoes are best. don't use skills when you have lots of confusion and don't move when you have lots of torment. seriously just stand still if the duration is short, they can't kill you with auto attacks. they have a port so save yours or a leap so you can stick to them. they will have 1-2 invis so use big aoes when they do. don't go out of your way to pressure if they are really mobile like mirage, make them engage you. use your cleanses only after a big condi burst hits you. mes as a class is weird cuz it gets more offensive power the more its engaged. gl.

yeah that might nerf is pretty big.

But it's nice to see you casually ignored all the other points I made in the other comment. > > Again, I do think Lich is pretty stupid as is. But if we're just going to cry for nerfs because something does a lot of damage easily, there are a lot of other things that fit the bill. the only skills you mentioned that are worth talking about are vault and gun flame. while both are low cd they both have very obvious animations. showing their coefficients is pretty funny when you take into account that they are similar to lich form but like i've mentioned repeatedly lich form is doing that on an auto attack. why do you think its ok to take away half of someones health with a 1200 range auto attack? i mentioned quickness before, but if reaper they also have that shout which gives them up to i think its 10 uses of unblockable hits, which negates most of the counter play. everything you mentioned has counter play, lich form has significantly less. the cd is IRRELEVANT when you consider it can delete a team in pvp. every other team fight, if they can't counter it (and like i said there are ways to ensure this, having a half competent support on your team is another chuck of counter play gone) then the other team wipes and the match is snowballed. how is that ok? why is lich form granted immunity to the megapatch where most everything else similar in nature was nerfed in damage?

DON'T STOP BELIEVIN

> @"Rvannith.8364" said: > They could make the captcha only apply a random number of games, that increases the # of games you play, increasing after the amount of games played in a 24 hour period. If someone is playing pvp for an hour a day, they shouldn't be hit with it. 2 hours, maybe they get a single one. The point is to catch the bots out- which generally run their accounts nearly 24/7, and increasing the captcha rate when it hits the kind of time period that bots play for would limit player annoyance at having to do it. if captcha is gonna work its this way

> @"LetoII.3782" said: > The only way to lose WvW is to get caught up in trying to win it. yeah thats a good one like shroud said

start with banning the hackers and regular patches. that would be _the bare minimum_ every game does, but here it feels like a god send. personally only ever ran into one hacker in my whole time playing gw2 but we've all seen them sketchy vids.

i think such a big change would include changes to targeting, priority, aoe pulses/ duration/ radius, not just green number tweaks.

play fun builds. experiment. don't take it so seriously.

Bonus points for using Notepad. again, i am talking about hackers not bots. i don't care about bots.
