Vova.2640 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 This post is pretty much my last resort before quitting gw2. I will not play this game on any other class except my staff Ele. I can survive without playing pve anymore. But I would like to at least log in for 2-3 hours in the evenings to play some wvw. Please consider reverting this massive nerf for the wvw mode at least. There is no reason why a class that is running full zerker gear, has max 13k hp and 1967 armor, would hit other players for 1k's with their strongest ability. This change is absurd I cannot understand why you would nerf this ability so hard in wvw as well.... So please at least consider making this nerf not affect wvw at least.

Mini Crinny.6190 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 The MS change is actually a buff to be honest since it's per target.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vova.2640 Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 How on earth is this a buff!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!? You do more dmg on the first two hits, ok. After 5 hits you already lose dmg, you do 492% of the dmg, instead of the old 500%. After 6 hits it already 553.5% instead of the old 600% And it only goes downhills from there.

DanAlcedo.3281 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Because hitting for 10k on a 3k armor target is balanced. And no 10k is not something rare , that is the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of the Fire.6870 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I agree this change make it unusable in wvw in zerg fights I'm not a fan of too many aoe's in wvw but this one of the very raw uses of this skill that you can do damage into a zerg from the sideline I know some weaver skills became bigger aoe's but I'm playing Tempest and Meteor shower nerfs aren't welcome with Eles because of the history of it.

Strider Pj.2193 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Elementalist: Meteor Shower: The internal cooldown of this skill has been removed when used against PvE targets, and its initial damage has been **increased by 23%.** Damage will now decline by 10% for each subsequent hit, capping at a minimum value equal to 10% of the initial impact's damage. So, initially a buff, with diminishing returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Crinny.6190 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 meteor showers are capped at 3 targets though, so in a zerg of 50+ the likelihood of you hitting the same 3 people are low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X T D.6458 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 You seriously want to quit because you dont like a change to one skill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vova.2640 Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 Ah well. Excuse me for trying. Let scourge meta reign supreme. All hail scourges, the only class that is allowed to do dmg in wvw. Im done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X T D.6458 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I thought Eles got a lot of buffs in this patch. Hey OP have you actually played yet today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defines the numbers somewhat better. Yea dropping meteor shower on a zerg is unlikely to hit the same target, if anything the initial hit will do a ton more damage per target. Its really more of a buff for wvw and a dps nerf for pve. First hit 23% higher damage, 2nd hit 13% inc damage, 3rd hit 3% inc damage, on the same target. This is a pretty huge buff actually.
