If we want balance for WvW we're going to have to force the issue.

Scourge excel in area denial, moving the fight around, and doing steady damage, but nothing beats a concentrated rev spike. Top damage? Yeah that's likely going to go to a Scourge simply due to the fact that they are hitting more players. Top spike, which is what kills players, is going to hammer revs.

Who stands in the way of one let alone two hammers lmao u can argue all u want yeah hammers are effective sure and deadly- no where close to groups of scourge stacking aoe's everywhere. Funny how when people discuss things regarding wvw balance hammer rev barely comes up,u kno what always does? Scourge/fb and ofcourse rev outspikes scourge that's not even a question but revs burst doesnt effect wvw anywhere close to how scourge condi aoe stacking does.

Lmao not ignorant at all lmao this mode will never change.every zerg is literally 90% scourge spam circles everywhere,I've seen half of whole zergs just deleted and all spewing at the respawn,I'm talking literally 15 or so players deleted from groups of scourges just walking forward spamming. Real skilled gameplay lmao u can keep ur garbage mode itl never change and people actually thinking the way scourge works in wvw being ok lmao that's ignorant and at best a joke. People complaining about gankers killing few here and there and comparing revs to scourge/fb spam who single handedly are the reason that wvw zergs battle the way they do(pirsteship bs) wow I'm ignorant lol

It is scourge.

It's not condi.

 

They're playing **power scourge**. Condi wouldn't work as there is too much cleanse available. The condi you see is just leftover from the aoe boon corrupt and incidental with the other scourge aoe attacks. Check your combat log and you'll see it's the power portion of the skills doing the majority of the damage along with CoR and Hammer from backline rev.

Reading comprehension....... I said 2 Drop the Hammer, 2X12K = 24K. Scourge shades might tick for 3K. Decent, but not too spiky. Good enough to do damage sure, but that's not ending a fight. You keep talking about massive numbers of Scourges painting the fields red. Okay, but if you stacked that many eles all dropping meteor shower, or that many revs popping CoR, then the spike grows by an order of magnitude.

 

People complain about Scourge, because ANet made shades these ENORMOUS beacons. Notice when you engage you barely see meteor circles, or Phase Smash/Drop the Hammer circles. That's not because they aren't there. It's because of flashy flashy Scourge shades.

 

Go ahead and spike my zerg with AoE condi. We'll cleanse it, and turn them into boons. I honestly think you know very little of how the meta works at this point.

Lots of scourge spam circles, but I doubt many are condi based. Most necro's on my server are power based. And seeing combat log the other servers seem to run power too.
