Have any of you stopped to think that maybe they do this on purpose- make 1 or 2 classes ridiculously OP so people reroll and spend more money every mod? It's always been this way. And basically any argument over OPness or not is pretty irrelevant because they're going to remain OP until the next mod, when some other class…

I don't hate CWs, I hate the horrible PVE balance that makes them the only class worth taking in PVE. I'm really hoping they sort out the glyphs and sort out balance in both PVE and PVP eventually so I can play this as my off-game. Nope despite the rumors Archeage isn't pay to win, so no dice. :p
-
It's too bad this is still going on. I don't think the Dev's realize that PVP is one of the few things to do in this game if you aren't a CW and can farm instances non-stop. This glyph issue solidified my decision to move onto Archeage, and I haven't regretted it for a second. I'm spending far less money in that…
-
It's not dumb, it's "basically impossible". But that's not because of the players, it's because there's no reason to pick anything but a CW for groups.
-
Are you nuts? Takedown and flourish are dodgable. The damage from SE and WOB is undodgable but there's no CC component to them and they're dailies. All CC in the game is dodgable except Icy Rays.
-
That would be kind of bad if it actually does go negative lol.
-
/LFG is the built in chat channel to find groups. There's nothing dumb about people using it, they just want the fastest and easiest runs possible, and for that you want CWs- as many as you can get. I don't know if things will change much but this game is the most broken balance-wise that I've ever seen in all my years…
-
Certainly not the looking for group channel, because all anyone wants there is CWs. As for your sob story, classes change all the time in MMOs. Nothing is permanent. What about an HR that was specced for healing. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A HEALING TREE ANYMORE. That's not the only example, every class has gone through it. The…
-
Honestly I couldn't care less about renegades. Every class in the game has a useless spec line. It's a shame but it's not at all unusual. I mean honestly if you're biggest complaint is that you can't be an OP class in all three spec lines, then you're doing pretty well. The point is the game is not fully enjoyable for most…
-
If HR is so great for PVE why do I see lf4m CWs and not lf4m HRs (or TRs, or GFs or GWFs). The reason is that currently CW is by far the best at controlling and at least tied for top for dps. Stacking them only makes this even better. Hopefully the changes will help with that. Ideally CW dps should be lower than the pure…
-
How did chill help? I'd be worried more about GFs since chill was actually very effective against them.
-
I don't consider the freeze fix a PVP fix since you can kill most people in PVP without freezing them twice. I think it's intended to discourage CW stacking in PVE. The "huge gap" isn't between Oppressor and Thaum, it's between any CW and any other class (besides SW), and it's still a problem even with this fix because who…
-
He's right though. You only get 1 careful attack proc from a fox shift, not 7 (with plaguefire maybe an extra one). I'm not sure it was ever nerfed, it always had the 1.5 ICD. To the OP, it's a good skill for PVP mostly because HR's main problem as combat spec is applying damage. People don't tend to stand there and let…
-
Sure sounds good. Make it so.
-
That's not true. Fox shift got nerfed. Twice actually- cause they didn't like the first nerf.
-
I think that's actually a pretty serious issue. I think the time on block needs to be reassessed if nothing can break it now. Besides just being really strong all around, I don't know how a CW can fight one 1v1 with the practically permanent block GFs all seem to have.
-
I actually had my CW before my HR but that's besides the point. No it's still not OK to freeze entire dungeons single-handedly because it ruins the game. And you're not doing THAT much less damage than Thaum. You're still out-dpsing by far most of the classes in the entire game with your "Pure Support". I argue for CW…
-
I really don't think so. I kill most people way faster than I can freeze them twice. Icy root-entangling force-rof spam with a freeze is enough to kill most people. The nerf was more for PVE really.
-
Don't forget CW. They're OP as hell too (both in PVP and PVE). But you main that one so of course you would forget.
-
You take it for the stun on top of freeze. Yes I'm sure it's fun to perma-freeze entire dungeons (which you can basically do today with a Thuam anyway with the sudden storm feat) and make the content into a complete joke, but it's not good for the game.
-
Thaum already had access to the great sudden storm trait. Oppressor still gets the extra shattered stun after freeze for 5 seconds. That's significant, maybe more so now that things won't be frozen constantly.
-
Throw on guarded assualt for anytime supremacy is down and you basically have an invincible team. If you try to kill the GF that's causing the problems you die.
-
CW needed this kind of unavoidable root/damage back when it wasn't great in PVP. Now it is. It really doesn't need it anymore to do well, and it should be changed considering it bypasses the CC-defenses of opponents (same reason Roar was correctly changed).
-
Things are not fine in PVE by a long shot. The CW change might help a bit but if anything, PVE is more imbalanced than PVP. And there's no reason to use red dragon in PVE as the content is not hard enough to warrant it.
-
PVE CW stacking is even more broken than perma-freezing in PVP. And it has been for like a year. This should help a bit with that. CWs are in no ways "broken" in PVE after this. But you might think twice about having 3 of them in the same party.
-
Games are over before they start if a GF is using this. Freaking PVP is so broken I can't even waste time while Smite servers are in maintenance, which I'm just using to waste time until Archeage on Friday.
-
Icy Rays ignores CC-immunity such as dodge. It's not just a guard issue.
-
Yeah just ran into a GF using guarded assault and KV with red dragon and it was pretty rough. It's exactly the same as the old broken blue dragon... For other classes it's not as bad. I've tried it on CW and it's a boost but not crazy. Wouldn't expect it to do much on HR. They should just do the same ICD as blue,…
-
I think these are good notes. CWs won't be able to perma-freeze people to death from range. How is that not a good thing? I am concerned about CW vs. GF though, in the opposite way. If a CW can't ever control a GF that's facing him, how are they going to ever kill them? GF can block for a really really long time now (which…

Hmm my Icy Rays thread got canned. Guess I should've titled it "FIX Icy Rays".
