    With the nerf to cb and cc deminishing returns I think the tr will hopefully be in a good place 12b. If you can't figure out how to avoid sod then that's your fault because it's really not that hard.

    So if I follow that logic, Cryptic could give the CW an aoe with 5 sec cooldown that do 500k dammage everyone on the map, it will be fine and balanced cause you just have to l2dodge that aoe?

    Seriously...

    Why defend an obvisiously broken skill?
    "You need skill to play an PVP TR".... you made my day. Thx a lot.

    > Why now are they defending stuff like old SE builds or SoD? I'd say, stop defending broken stuff when it's on your class, and ask for fixes and true reworks.

    The difference with roar was that it was hitting people that were supposed to be immune. That's broken.... shadow of demise Is working as intended. Thus not broken. Out of balance maybe but not broken.

    Ask morenthar, it takes skill to play a tr, but you don't "need" skill to play any class. Just need skill and knowledge to play them well.

    Also this thread says new broken tr... not new broken sod... you guys are complaining about a tr in all ways... it's like complaining gf has shield or DC heals. Just stop.

    Wait for the rework. (Where they grant 50% of all tr attacks as piercing damage.)

    Ask morenthar, it takes skill to play a tr, but you don't "need" skill to play any class. Just need skill and knowledge to play them well.

    The issue with roar was not just that it was not WAI. TRs complained a lot about 1) how it was unfair that something could pierce their dodge and 2)how it could be spammed. In fact, it was nerfed in both ways. It was not just fixed, but nerfed. Now they are defending mechanics that pierce everything (CB and piercing damage) and can be spammed.

    You can pick a TR and be effective in PvP with little skill. Old SE builds did not require skill. Just the build. Same with current SoD. Old roar build did not require skill. Just the build and roar spam.
    You need skill to play well some classes in PvP. Not all. Depending on the module. What i pointed out before is that if you track a record about how classes performed in PvP through the modules, you can find modules where GFs or GWFs or CWs or DCs or SWs (lol) or HRs were basically cannon fodder. TRs always got something. Survivability to contest nodes more than any other class, or damage to wipe out other classes easily, or both.

    On the other side, in PvE it's the opposite.

    I just want the devs to find a balance AND stop filling PvP with mechanics that ignore dodges. NW is based (used to be based) on an ACTION COMBAT SYSTEM. It should mean that aiming, timing and dodging are the absolute rules. If you start introducing mechanics that allow players to pierce dodges/ shift mechanics, plus auto-aiming powers, you destroy the combat system.

    Example: shift-dodge mechanic--->sprint vs piercing monster damage. I time my sprint vs TR attacks. TR fails to time his attacks to avoid hitting me during my shift mechanic. I should get rewarded, he should get penalized. Logic.
    Instead, he gets rewarded. I get penalized because, well, i wasted my stamina.
    I time my sprint vs courage breaker. He hits me with CB during my sprint. I should get rewarded and his attack's effect on me should be reduced. Does not happen. He gets rewarded because well, i wasted my stamina again.

  • demonmongerdemonmonger Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 3,350 Arc User
    Courage breaker is designed to bypass defenses.. there is no way around it.. that is how the mechanic works.. it's not broken

    I can agree on pretty much everything except party stealth. Don't really like stealth on other classes. It's enough on TRs and HRs. But would be a nice party defense buff in PvE.
  • nerfcc#8605 nerfcc Member Posts: 35 Arc User
    You want all that ^^ with sod remaining the same? I think sod should get a 65% damage nerf. And give trs an encounter buff or something like the things stated above. Also itc should be nerfed. The nerf to itc and buffing other encounters could hopefully make multiple encounters and play styles viable. Unfortunately something that optimistic probably won't happen so I'll settle for a quick 65% dmg nerf to sod.

    I can assure you it is not that way any more in PVE. TR is awesome dps, especially focus damage on bosses. Anyone that wants to tell me it´s not runs wrong builds.

    You know what I want for tr.....

    X2 backstabbing damage

    Stealth grants 100% (edit armor peircing) piercing and x3 backstabbing bonus

    I want an encounter that does party stealth

    I want an encounter that creates a seal circle on the floor that cannot be crossed

    I want faster attack animations

    I want a party speed buff

    I want a party reveal stealth buff

    I want tr to take 1.5 damage when attacked head to head from front.

    I want all buff potions disabled from pvp.

    I want lower base damage but triple critical damage.

    I really don´t know if I got that right. But all in all this sounds pretty laughable to me.

    1.Stealth should give you 100% piercing ability towards your damage? - every hard hitting encounter is 100% piercing from stealth as a crit, mhhh, what about no?
    2.3xbonus if you attack a target from behind? look above, a free skilless spam of anything from stealth with piercing damagex3, nonsense
    3.party stealth? to play hide and seek in PVP?
    4. a circle you can stand inside and noone can enter? not really, sure about that?
    5. lower damage but triple crit damage, lolol.
    Scenario: Hide, aproach from behind (100% crit from stealth), spam any encounter, wich will pierce your target and do 100% guarantied triple critical damage x3, without any skill to use...
    I assume all this is ment to be a joke, right? triple damage from stealth with 3x crit multiplier as a 100% pierce and crit, muahahahaha

    If that should happen, I want.
    1. if TR is in stealth to deal irresistible piercing damage x3 from behind, he loses ITC ability, deflect drops to zero and you can not dodge just run for 10 seconds:)
    2. after killing his target with thes skilless abilities, he reveals and his defences (under point 1) stay until he dies. If noone kills him he just drops dead to the ground after 30 seconds , funny :) I am in for those tactical Kamikaze Builds
    3. no comment
    4. no comment, I want to fly in PVP...

    .

    Problem here is that while it is possible to do hefty damage in PvE as a TR, it's by and large the exception rather than the rule and dependant on a number of factors. The prime one being the broken mechanic that is Shadow of Demise

    There's no bones about it, SoD in it's current iteration shouldn't remain. However, as it stands the capstone is obscuring how so much else about the class is under performing. Nothing short of a proper (objective) review will resolve the above problems, and we can see how committed the dev team is to that! Their commitment is conspicuous by it's absence.

    PvP sucked before TRs got the current SoD.

    Thought PvP still sucks :D

    Really tho, that thing IS very broken.
    Like you said, theres always gonna be something that is broken, bugged, overpowered, unbalanced etc etc, but people ARE allowed to complain about these things as much as they want, since it takes all of the fun away from playing PvP :)

    Except for TRs obviously, since atm the puggest TR possible can kill a BiS player thanks to SoD, so Im guessing its lots of fun to finally get all these amazing kills in the matches, where before it took more or less skill to do that ^^

    But hey, not complaining.

    Lol.

    I think that actually dev have miscalculated the fact that SOD was added in mod 12.

    But in mod 12 TR wasn't able to do a lot of dps in pvp without SOD ( after the SE nerf ).

    But now, in 12b, everyone do a lot of dmg, even the TR, if in mod 12 a bloodbath was a "no serius damage" daily, now, with a high recovery build ( 20k ) the big burst of dps for everyone, the AP gain of TR, bloodbath now will cut your HP for over 50% in some case.
    Yesterday Fought vs a TR that has "the broken SOD build".
    Stealth, BB, SOD....campfire.
    If Miss the first Sod for some kind of miracle and still alive, stealth, waiting for another daily ( around 4/5 seconds ) new BB, campfire.

    If in mod 12 i was able to sustain a TR for 4 of his SOD, now, in 12b, is a ONE PUSH BUTTON BUILD.
    BB, SOD, some atwill = campfire.

    PermaCampfire.

    I can understand a SOD ( yes, unavoiable piercing damage for over 100k ) in mod 12 when the tr lack of dps from encounter and atwill, but in mod 12b is not the case anymore, they do a lot of damage even without sod, so i really don't understand what dev are waiting for rework another time that feat, is not necessary anymore in tis module.

    TR have good damage from encounter and at will now, SOD s not necessary anymore.

    TR have good damage from encounter and at will now, SOD s not necessary anymore.

    SoD shouldn't be necessary at all and needs to be dealt with, but suggesting that TR encounters and At-wills deal good dmg (comparatively) is misleading.

    I would aggree about that, there is missing some dps.

    @miyanaa



    My larger point is that I'm surprised this many people care. If winning with broken powers was enjoyable to me, I'd come back to the game.



    Although I do think they are attempting to realize a vision going forward, they keep introducing broken HAMSTER that blows up any progress that was made.



    If the PvE content was really good, I would come back just for that. It's not. So I needed PvP to keep me interested in the game.



    Every day this game gives me more reason to stay away. Until I get some feedback from people I trust, stated that things are fun again, I'm out.

    There are not much reasons to come back, but I also did not found much reason to farm BD, maybe my trip was too short.

    Sadly, any major class rework has likely been postponed until Cryptic gets their new Magic the Gathering game out the door. Last I had heard the Devs who had been working on the TR rework had been pulled and reassigned. Kind of a shame as both TR and SW are badly in need of a major class overhaul, and instead they are both likely to get only hastily applied band-aid fixes which cause as many issues as they fix.
