The only thing they could do is further reduce the damage while increasing tick duration which will have the same effect as the previous "balance". It will cause more damage due to how torment works. You don't want torment ticking on you for any length of time. So players need to think very carefully before asking for any type of nerf.

You also have to keep in mind, conditions are still easily negated an entire fight due to organized groups and resistance. Still to this day, the majority of fights encountered renders conditions useless. If anything changes immediately, resistance needs to be drastically toned down or removed.

 

Found the scourge player. We have top 10 players saying scourge (especially together with FB) is heavily imbalanced, but this guy knows better!

 

In this man's head, approaching a scourge and getting weakness, vulnerability, blind, cripple, torment, burning and bleeding in 0.1 seconds, with no cast times, is fine.

I'm all the way with you guys.

Well, the proof Scourges got nerf'd enough is that people are starting to complain about other classes like Druid and Holosmiths.

This forum is a joke, ppl die, come here to complain and join the train of L2P bitching :D

As long as necro has natural predators Im fine. And Meme Mirage and HS usally win against my necro unless I can take advantage of the enviroment.

BTW where are the complains about DH traps nowadays? Because its the same shit and still does tons of dmg. Ah right, ppl found a way to manage around.
