Battle of aoe fields

[Tazer.2157]

This is ridiculous. Everywhere I look there are circles of traps, fields, revenant spirits or whatever they are called. Please fix this. It’s no fun. Make single target skills relevant. I want to fight players and not aoe fields!

I've said this before and for some reason players are ok with it cuz its easy to spam said skill types for good gain. Ge2 conquest has became similar to wvw blob fights where each team fight consists of a constant spamming of aoe's,traps etc with zero skill regarding timing or countering of the opponents attacks, its all build tanks and spam for reward. U look at the node and area around node during engagement and its aoe's upon aoe's and traps upon traps with smattering of cc's and lock downs reminding u of zerg fights in wvw. Can't be Suprising this games pvp isn't taken seriously, even fora mmo.

I don't like the AoE clown show either.

 

But outside of Arenanet completely neutering Shades, Renegade summons, Traps, Marks and Symbols (and all the other AoE types I forgot about), there is nothing that can be done about it.

all they gotta do is tweak cd and radius. rev spirits are the worst, they have huge aoe _and_ really low cd.

I like it, they should even double aoe dmg against stealth foes
