Arheundel.6451 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Never seen a worst situation in 8 years of balance...**all 3 modes completely dominated by nothing else but guardians and necros**......In every mode just stack enough of these classes and you are gold....everywhere I go..I see nothing but guardians and necros being tanky and aoe dps everything down, spamming heals/boons/barrier/condis.... You go pvp....double core necro, firebrands, symbolbrand, reapers spamming aoe condi/dps on point You go wvw....a never ending sea of scourges and firebrands advancing while being perma boons and aoe dps/condi You go pve...DH trap spamming , reapers and scourges Terrible, awful balance......

DanAlcedo.3281 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 A never ending sea of scourges in wvw? What server? I see alot more diversity in WvW now when it comes to the dmg dealer part. Firebrand is still true because no other support has stab . And pve? At least in strikes you see mostly rangers as dmg dealer and very rarely a support scourge.

Super Hayes.6890 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I'll be happy to jump into any of those modes with my warrior. I can't promise I'll be able to stem the tide but I'll at least glare at a necro or guardian angrily before the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephalem.8921 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Pve dominated by necro? Wait what? Only healscourge and only sometimes. Firebrand is true though, like chaos chrono but with healing or dps so a stronger version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorstienn.1642 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Your saying they're a "scourge" on the game, and Anet has to better "guard" diversity? I'll see myself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trise.2865 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just because you see a lot of Blade Traps and Scourge Shades doesn't mean they're the only things happening. To take it a step further: What if I told you they're the only things you notice now, because you've started looking for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 WvW is also highly populated by Warriors and Engineers, and you see a moderate number of Revenants and Mesmers, too. In small scale groups, you have Rangers and Thieves as well. As for PvP, I haven't played that in years, because it's bad in every regard. PvE, like strikes, also has a healthy mix of professions.

You say that and I see a lot of "NO NECRO" in Fractals LFG and sometimes being asked to play something else that is not my condi scourge which does pretty good damage.

Turkeyspit.3965 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Clearly ANET hasn't done enough to nerf Mesmer and Thief. Next balance patch should fix that, for all 3 game modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocki.4931 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 10 million Scourges, Revs, Engineers, Warriors, Guards.. Thieves and Rangers. All classes are represented in WvW, idk what you are talking about. Also.. PvE being dominated by DH, Scourges..? what? Seriously everything is played everywhere. Maybe you don't see core classes much but that is because specs just add a layer of convenience that core can never offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aridon.8362 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 In WvW Necro and guard have been meta since the inception of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jski.6180 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 There are some real problem about the effects that guardians and necros bring to wvw that needs to be given out to the other classes. Stab and the counter to stab is too important in wvw to just be manly on 2 class only for a game that was made for "chose what you want to play and not having a requirements of benchmark classes."

Josiah.2967 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I rarely see Scourge outside of WVW anymore. Even then it's a lot less than it use to be. Guardians are everywhere because they are Tier 1 in every game mode. I am seeing more variety now then before except for the high amount of Guardians in all modes...

Play what you like and how you want. GW2 is a fun ARPG. If you prefer strong diverse PVP perhaps a different MMO flavor might be more to your liking.

lare.5129 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 go pve and see "no thefs, no necro" is normal party. pve is different, not only Caledon forest . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyCakeLight.3750 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 It's kind of strange playing Necro at the moment. I don't see nearly as many as some people make them out to be. But, I've been playing Necro since core and it is my second most played profession. Spent many years being hated by both anet and the community. Now people hate me for thinking I'm just fotm. Can't win! It's like being a Shaman in WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianDK.8615 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Yes, necro is definitely not well represented in pve outside open world. Neither reaper or scourge have the damage needed for raids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
