It is still PvP thus making the question just as viable there.

 

End of story.

Agreed, I think it is unappreciated to provide a solution which doesn’t consider all pvp mode in mind.

No. Wvw is wvw and pvp is pvp.

I don’t see any indication in OP which it is pvp mode or wvw mode. All i see is how to fight a scourge which will happens in both pvp or wvw situation. Did you assumed OP is talking about pvp only?

 

Pvp is not about 1v1 fight, and winning over a scourge don’t make you win a pvp match. Even if pvp =\= wvw, how to fight a scourge should keep both situations in mind anyway.

 

Question is how to fight a scourge, and we were trying to give suggestions accordingly, pvp or wvw wise.

And I answered for (as is well emphasized at this point) pvp, instead of a vague intermediate answer just for the sake of including wvw that I don't find relevant. So what's the problem? I don't understand why you (plural) get fixated on the fact that I answered for pvp.

It is a question how to beat a scourge with SB, it is obvious that it is happening in both wvw and pvp, it is a fact. Many of us are expecting solution to deal with scourge wvw and pvp wise.

its really a skill match up, although i feel in slight favour of scourge since being in melee range and competing for a capture point is difficult. You just have to pop in and out, avoid going in when the scourges blow their cd's. wait for any boons to come up to use ur dagger burst and to poke with break enchantments. using your stuns as a small window to damage. unlike facing a druid or something, you just go in their face as much as possible lol

Sorry I just assume that everyone mains the icon they have on the forums (bad habit I know). I will say there are allot of people maining quaggans on the forums.

I main asura

 

Anyway, since the nerf, scourge no longer has any instant corrupts, so you can avoid most of them.

common things that corrupt:

the elite skill AoE, ghastly breach. lasts 5s. Also applies slow. don't stand in it

trail of anguish. ie bunch of little red circles

the _start_ of desert shroud, the pulsing shade AoE. 16s cooldown

nefarious favor, 8s cooldown shade skill

shade placement

3rd hit of scepter auto chain

 

things that _don't_ corrupt:

all the other pulses of desert shroud, and all the other weapon skills

 

also all the above corrupts are 1 boon at a time, so if you can cover your resistance with other boons, you can tank a few corrupts
