Epidemic in raids needs to be nerfed


Recommended Posts

I think none of the above got what I tried to convey there. Anyway This thread have lost it's purpose after the last patch, any argument here is now out of topic since epidemic do not need to be nerfed anymore. Knowing who have it worse can be done in a different thread which would have this specific purpose. But I can understand that none want to open such a silly thread.

Remind me again how you wanted necros buffed? Last I recall, when I tried to start a conversation about it, I was called annoying and only got a suggestion that would cause the pvp/wvw crowd to hate us more.

Why would you want the opinion of someone who rarely plays necro on how they'd want the class buffed? I dunno. You're the necro mains, you propose something. I believe it would be more adequate than what I could offer.

OK. Did I object somewhere? I don't know the class enough to properly evaluate your proposed changes. So I will neither support nor object - this is something the necro players have to discuss between themselves.

You know it enough to say that epi needs a nerf, you're good to talk about proposed changes to it ;)

Wrong. Seeing that epi needs a nerf is easy - you only need to compare the results. Proposing buffs requires in-depth knowledge of the class mechanics.

Come on, don't be mean please. v:

 

He just has his own opinion and is defending his class. You'd do the same and if you have a different opinion, well... this is a discussion-forum, isn't it? Epi-bouncing was broken. Even Necros said so. What's stupid is that ArenaNet didn't buff Necro in other regards to make it competitive. I guess nobody will disagree with that.

Wait im sure something irrelevant got a 10% change, otherwise the meme is dead.

Oh it's just reaper shroud and gs....So yep irrelevant changes that weapon is poorly designed and no one uses reaper shroud to auto attack.

Well Raizel did say "to make it competitive". Changing irrelevant stuff didn't accomplish that, so he's right. And I fully support this btw. Like I've said before, I don't want necros to be trash-tier. I just didn't want them to be broken. Plus it wasn't good for your own class to be entirely defined by a single utility skill.

He's headstrong and a bit brash but I wouldn't call him a troll. Doing so just doesn't foster an environment where we can have conversations.

 

@"Feanor.2358" Point is I'm trying to get you to think outside of the class you main. Atleast try, at worst you'll get someone you'll never meet in real life telling you you're wrong about it.

It is not that necro is too weak, it is that thief is vastly overtuned for the difficulty of play

Fair enough. To be honest, I don't really like to design class changes, I always end up finding flaws in my own ideas as well. But I hear what you're saying.

I didn't say he wasn't. I was pointing out the meme we all knew would happen, that you and various others said wouldn't.

 

Anet loves to nerf into oblivion Necro and give it the most laughable compensation buffs. Only difference is this time ele also got demolished. So now you can walk in the same shoes as necro's for a bit and maybe next time a class is up for being gutted you'll respond with a bit more than lol.

Let's add more oil to the fire, I think it doesn't burn hard enough. The necromancer is weak in end game PvE and it's nothing new, thief benchmark don't have anyhting to do with that. For it's usefullness for a party the necromancer's dps is and has always been way to low, which is why he always sit at the bottom of the barrel. All professions except the necromancer have at least 1 build that reach 32k dps in simulated coordinated group play. The necromancer is the only one that don't even break through the 30k barrier which make him "weak".

 

As for the thief, while I agree that he overperform a bit there, he was far from being competitive before and I wouldn't mind him staying at his level of dps until the next balance patch. For all the time they've been out of the "meta", they deserve it. Beside, they are only single target dps, which make them less valuable in situations where you have to deal with adds. So them having a slightly higher dps don't bother me that much.

Doesn't matter. You don't need to compare necros with thieves. Comparing them with weavers, mirages, berserkers works too. The differences between best dps builds of different classes should never be so great. Especially if the class at the bottom does not have any non-dps use. This low dps might have been okay on dps mesmer (considering that support chrono gives that class a secure position in the meta even without any dps builds), but on necro it akes the whole "class balance" a joke.

 

Yes, Thief is very strong. That doesn't change the fact that Necro _is_ too weak. Way too weak.

 

Seriously, if necro ever got nerfed so strongly as Ele, it would have negative dps now. And yet, ele is still around the tops of the dps lists, while necro is at the dead bottom. And even with this, necro gets only further and further down after each balance patch.

_Golf clap_

 

You took me off guard here, I didn't expect such perfect answer. In short, the necromancer is strong but he doesn't feel strong because he is way weaker than all other professions. Thus the issue doesn't lie in the necromancer but in other professions... Perfect logic if we set the necromancer as the standard of a balanced profession.

 

Sadly, in statistics we tend to set this standard at the average middle of what all professions can do. And there, the necromancer fall short behind other professions by a large margin. Which make the necromancer "too weak" based on the current standard.

Great idea, nerf even more others like just cause ones own class isnt in the line with the rest.... oh and if i recall correctly people are crying cause raids are to hard? Guess what, nerf everything and this will get even worse.

 

Instead of constantly demanding nerfing working builds, you should rather support the idea of reworking your class, giving it options to drop sustainabilities for more damageoutput, cause thats the only thing preventing necrobuilds from actual getting buffs. And not only necromancer, other builds as well. Many cry cause of the chrono for examble, yet we could have good alternatives like fb and renegade if they would finally start buffing those or at least give us the statcombi healpower, condidmg, condiduration boonduration. But noooo, better nerf again.

This is far from the truth, sorry. People have been constantly crying about epi nerf instead of asking for a buff of their class (mainly ele users). Necro players have been saying epi SHOULD get nerfed, with buffing of other dps skills. Necro is non existent in this meta, ele is still viable.
