The issue is that meteor shower only lands where there is ground to walk on. So if you place the circle so it's partially on a wall or a choke, all 24 meteors only hit the ground in a concentrated spot. Which means you get hit with 2-3 10-15k meteors at the same time, instantly killing you.

Either we have been playing a different game, or you dont quite remember things well. Temp used to hit 60k on burst with staff (when meteor didnt have the icd) , scepter/wh fresh air (that phoenix dmg tho) was broken as well, fresh air staff was a thing, etc etc. Temp dmg was huge > > 60k burst is great, but obviously not what i'm on about. And weavers used to get considerably more burst. I'm talking about DPS - not burst DPS -, particularly on small hitbox and actual benchmarks. None of this "all buffs big hitbox look it hits 40k!!!!" or "its bugged for a week and then nerfed again" like we had with the condi stuff. Or even the "look at me hitting every single one of my scepter procs". And unrestricted meteo was grinding benchmarks until you get unrealistic meteo procs; making it even worse. > > I remember several benchmarks over 32k, and most of them were quite unrealistic in real raid scenarios AND considerably lower than the weaver ones. > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CylNeHHusTI > End of HoT benchmark of staff FA benchmark. > > Tempest was the best DPS; it was considerably easier than weaver and yet most of the time - it was doing less damage than current weaver.

And all the bonkers stuff got rightfully so nerfed ;) Only responding to the video it self is that realty pve it looks soo boring how can any one have fun playing like that? I know it was a spam fest back when gw2 first came out (when i played pve) but that looks like a bot is playing not a human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was a spam fest back when gw2 first came out (when i played pve) but that looks like a bot is playing not a human. Well, to be fair, on any class, a good PvP player will have equally optimized rotations that they will usually go to. I'm sure you have some go-to rotations too :+1: There is a difference in how a good PvP player will also keep certain skills readily available to counter certain things granted. Anyways, a good PvP player will look sort of like a bot playing too if you look at their skill usage. That there is also a benchmark on a stationary target that doesn't fight back too, so it's not representative of the actual numbers you'll be frequently seeing in an actual PvE encounter nor of PvE in general. I'm more of a WvW player myself mind you, even if I used to enjoy structured (too limited in build options) and still enjoy PvE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circuitnerd.5863 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Please fix soon Anet! I was having a great 1v1 with someone in wvw. We were pretty evenly matched and then they used meteor shower and in just 1 hit my life went down 50%. That completely ruined our little match. It's very much a sadface when you die due to a glitched skill. I'm certain you guys probably have a lot of things to fix, but I find this one to definitely be near the top of priority as it's so immensely overpowered right now. Thanks.

I don't know how to say it without sounding insulting. Ele staff is.... not good one vs one. The Ele meteor shower is one of the most telegraphed skills in the game, especially with no additional combat and effects around from dozens of other players.

We had both been keeping the same amount of life for about a minute until he used meteor shower. We were definitely evenly matched. My life went down by half due to this. I'm not sure how the fight would of ended up otherwise. But the downfall point was definitely due to getting hit by the 1 fireball from the sky. At that point it turned in his favor rapidly.

Ubi.4136 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It's not bypassing armor. I have plenty of screens of my damage before and after the changes...it is doing exactly 20% more damage than it did before. They front loaded the damage a couple patches back that makes the first 2 hits hit the hardest. This patch, they upped the minimum damage from 10% to 20%. The reason they haven't patched it yet, is because it wasn't a bug but how it was balanced. Not very well it seems, but it is how it was programmed. Anet agrees now with the forum qq that the initial damage is too high, but that is only a part of the problem (and the smallest part). From the wiki: The meteors will only fall within the limits of the map where player characters would be able to be (e.g: They won't fall on a slope a player can't climb or slide down from above). This can be used to narrow the spread and increase the effective damage of the skill. This is what needs to be fixed about meteor shower. No other AOE has it's radius reduced to ONLY hit where people can walk, why should this skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 17k health and j get 1shoted and then 1 shoted in downstate xD, w/o warning and then the MS ring pop ups... And it is not a bug? I dont mind better damage for MS, but 20k on the 1st hit.... where some base classes health pools is even 11k... ROFL.

I was having a great 1v1 with someone in wvw. We were pretty evenly matched and then they used meteor shower and in just 1 hit my life went down 50%. That completely ruined our little match. It's very much a sadface when you die due to a glitched skill. I'm certain you guys probably have a lot of things to fix, but I find this one to definitely be near the top of priority as it's so immensely overpowered right now.

The Ele meteor shower is one of the most telegraphed skills in the game, especially with no additional combat and effects around from dozens of other players. With the access that guard has to blocks, Aegis, etc.. > > > > If you died to him, in a 1v1, it wasn't because MS is OP. > > We had both been keeping the same amount of life for about a minute until he used meteor shower. We were definitely evenly matched. My life went down by half due to this. I'm not sure how the fight would of ended up otherwise. But the downfall point was definitely due to getting hit by the 1 fireball from the sky. At that point it turned in his favor rapidly. Down by half.. So it was 10 k? Or were you running at 25k health? If it only did 10 k unless he was a trailblazer Ele, the 10k is likely before the buff as well...., Still not helping your case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can be used to narrow the spread and increase the effective damage of the skill. > > > > This is what needs to be fixed about meteor shower. No other AOE has it's radius reduced to ONLY hit where people can walk, why should this skill. > > Clever meteors....

ROFL. > ANet at least learn to make interesting mechanics.... rather than just increase coefficients up and down... Anet dev's u make no sense as usual ...lol > I don't know. It still seems silly to front load MS anyway. Also I thought people wanted a no down state week...isn't this the same? Dying instantly to aoe randomness!

Egorum.9506 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 15k views, I think that means the entire game population has seen this thread twice now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Israel.7056 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I think if they want to keep it like this it just needs a longer CD. Make it 90s like wod and I'm cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
