We seriously need to ask the DEVs to stop smoking crack when thinking of events.... this event is nothing but CW love fest. And they called TR's OP. REALLY?!
Having played MMO's since the beginning... it's actually embarrassing to see such poor event planning. Well... such poor EVERYTHING planning... especially the so-called "balance" between classes... which is nothing more than a "whining patch".
Yeah I basically just put up path of blades and throw blitz in the hopes it hits before things die. If I don't anticipate the spawn though by the time blitz goes off the wizards have already killed everything. The mobs are literally dying in about 1 second. The only ones that last longer are the hulks. They die in about 5 seconds.
How can u create mobs with 6K HP during the event?!? Honestly, developers, what u smoke there? Holy Moly, such a facepalm, you just put 0 effort in it. I can imagine what Gauntlgrym will be like... Maybe you should reconsider closing beta and hire some people who have some raiding / event experience...

I'm pretty much spamming cleave and frontline surge in the hope that I'll kill something. The massive lag doesn't make things better.
This is unfortunately a problem in almost every MMO out there, any event that involves killing large number of mobs, will always be in the AoE classes favour, there is nothing that you can do about that, other than not have events that are 'invasion' types. How about a nice 'be stealthy' event? or 'who can take the most damage and not die' event?
Its poor design I will admit, but we have all week, and the most expensive thing to get is the dog, and even that isn't particularly hard to get.
in fact, clerics have it easier, sunburst is a lot more effective.

Ok so I have just been to my first portal during the event. I am gob smacked at the pure fail that it turned out to be. As a TR can someone tell me what I am supposed to do to actually stand a chance of getting some drops? Yes I managed to hit something and yes I got a couple of grade one enchants.....but compared to what the AoE spamming nubs got, it was a waste of time.
I can hit something every second wave if I am lucky as that's when Blitz recharges. That's the only AoE I have....

What about Path of Blades? And Whirlwind?
If all else fails, just use one of those death aura scrolls? Doesn't seem like they'll be good for anything else anyway.

Tried the scroll and it's useless. How do you expect me to fill AP to use whirlwind or path of blades when I can't hit anything?
I managed to unleash a Whirlwind in the last portal and everything was dead before it went off.
To whoever said Sun Burst was more effective than Wizards at delivering instant AoE damage:
You're wrong. Sun Burst cast animation is fairly lengthy, and then the "burst" has to hit the mobs. By that time, they're already dead. The only thing Clerics can do is put down Chains of Blazing Light and hope they actually activate before the CWs blow the mobs out of the AoE or outright kill them.
