By many definitions it isn't instant, can't use it while dazed or CC'd, can be interrupted or weapon stow'd during the cast. The tooltip should reflect a 1/4s cast or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.5684 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 AT balance is not everything. Rev and FB, while dominate AT, outside of it, are just.. okay. Holo is better than rev in any none organized context, even after the nerf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skills skill needs to travel to its target ontop of landing. The skills state 1200 range. Your lucky if you can hit anything if the range is over 600, the skill will hit 1/5 of the time at best at beyond that disctance. Much like axe 3 on warrior work. The skill pretty much needs to be used in melee range and it cc the engi itself. How on earth do you justify a nerfing something like that?

As Chaith pointed out, it's not actually instant cast. I've had it interrupted many times, and can't cast it when cc'd. For some reason the tooltip doesn't display its actual casting time. It also doesn't have a visual windup like other CC skills -- and it would be fair to add one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skill pretty much needs to be used in melee range and it cc the engi itself. How on earth do you justify a nerfing something like that? Because you don't always use Overcharged Shot from max range. Most fights with a holo will take place on a side node if he's playing his role properly. In other words, Mr. Smarty Pants, it's an instant, long duration, hard CC that is impossible to dodge reactively (if you cannot dodge a mantra charge, you cannot dodge Overcharged Shot in melee range). That's pretty good justification. If Point Blank Shot didn't have a cast time I'd argue the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's literally all people are asking for. I just want a 1/2 second windup animation so I have something I can look out for to dodge before getting instantly launched with no-tells when fighting a holo on point. A change like that is very reasonable and definitely isn't as drastic a "nerf" as all of these engi mains are making it seem. Also, Lock On is still stupidly strong and needs to get nerfed.

Psycoprophet.8107 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 This skill not having a cast time given its nature must have been a over sight by anet , atleast one would think and if not can't really be surprising given how loaded the spec ended up. Maybe someone in the balance team has a hard on for holo or somthing but it almost comical how overloaded the spec is. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the classes eat hard nerfs during their depowercreep attempts but leave holo largely unchanged save for a few trivial nerfs lol.

Master Ketsu.4569 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 OP would be correct if the 5 man crowd wasn't so small right now. It makes perfect sense for cmc to have the balance focused on solo Q ranked first before addressing things that are only strong in an organized team built around it. Like with Holo. Yes, Revs are slightly better as the DPS than Holo in the standard "Firebrand Duo cheese comp" due almost entirely to having ports for faster rotations. However, in solo Q most people consider Holo stronger than Rev due to better versatility and just "having it all". It's also much harder to nerf builds that are only broken in a specific comp without rendering the class unviable. So a larger balance patch would be needed to make sure each class still has a playable build. Since I play Rev I'll mention yet again that the problem with the class is really down to three things: A ) Its ability to stack damage mods, mainly from Herald, are way too high. Herald alone gives about +35% in raw damage bonus. This is the highest amount of free damage than any other elite spec in the game. B ) Rev is easily countered by condis. This is a bad weakness to have because it goes away as soon as you have support and we are currently in a meta that has some of the best supports GW2 has ever seen. This puts Revs in a very awkward spot where the class is busted with support and easily countered without support. C ) Because most Rev nerfs usually touch weapon skills and core traits instead of shaving down Heralds insane damage bonuses, all builds except the Glint/Shiro meta are either considered trash or meme tier. Renegade remains the single spec in the game that has **never** had a viable build. The obvious solution here seems to be shaving down Herald damage so it isn't so oppressive in 5 man, and then improving condi clear so the class doesn't become trash in solo. Any other fix either nerfs the wrong thing or doesn't address the difference between how the class is played in an organized team and how it is played in ranked.

Enemies cant attack you if it means they are going to be hit by a tactical nuke before they get to do that. Add tempo swing ability like that staff dash and here you go, you can juggle between offence and defence similar to how soulbeast does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
