No, you just failed to adapt. The old singularity spam method is no longer as effective as it was; many of the better CWs don't even slot shield or singularity outside of specific areas these days.
Blindly doing the same old same old, and failing to notice the results (or lack thereof), and you'll be out of the running. Evolution's gonna getcha.
MMOs aren't set in stone, your stale old cookiecutter approach won't work indefinitely.
what power are slotting now for CC?
Mmmm not agree.
With sing you can regroup all the adds in a specific point, then you can use stealtime, avalanche, sudden storm, icy terrain... etc...so also a GWF can be more efficient, a Tr can spread bomb, GF can marks AoE...
With Opposing Force, all adds are stunned and damaged, but they remain on their original position...
Am I wrong?
Yup.
And all the QQ in the forums about how because of HV other classes can't find a place in pugs - all for nothing.
CWs are still required, and CWs still have 2 to 3 places on a party. Nobody asks in /lfg for more TRs/GFs/GWFs now that HV stacking is fixed.
Good job just making dungeons longer... and not achieving anything significant.
Use whichever power is best at the time. I like to use oppressive force if the adds are already grouped up or they are mostly CC immune and AS if the adds are widely dispersed(typically following it with steal time and shard). Whatever makes life for the group simpler.
It's already fixed.
Typically this is best for a coordinated and unselfish party.
For pugs... well things change. Singularity is a dps killer. OF, not working in sing, SotEA, not working, SS, not working... When I play with sing-bot mages my hardest task is to time my spells after or in-between their sings (since they like to sing one after another...). I cannot count how many wasted OFs I had because some other mage singed the mobs away.
Grouping adds is beautiful and amazing, but it needs to be done properly and in sync with the other CWs, ideally a mage with high recovery and EF on Tab would deal with this task and the other(s) CW will just OF the mobs afterwards. Obviously this will show on dps chart and the singing mage will have much lower damage... so it's not a task for those running after big numbers.
And yes, stop using sing on immune adds guys, it makes you look... inadequate for the CW job
Yes, you're wrong. IF you need to group up a large spread of mobs, then use Singularity. If the mobs are already grouped up, then use Oppressive Force. Oppressive Force has numerous advantages over singularity:
- Faster cast time
- Dazes immediately. Dazed creatures can't attack AND grant combat advantage for even more damage
- Daze lasts a few seconds. And with Singularity, monsters can still continue to attack and activate abilities as normal, except for the second or two they're pulled into the hole. Otherwise, you and your group are still getting beat on during the singularity.
- SotEA and Sudden Storm DO NOT hit monsters being pulled in by the singularity. If you use these abilities during singularity, they'll miss!
People who are still using Singularity as their "go to" daily power are doing it wrong.
And I believe that since the Feywild patch, wizards have been buffed ENOURMOUSLY. There's no class that can even come close to the overall damage output of a wizard now.
Not really buffed, just the other classes getting the nerf bat. TR's for example.
If I never see a CW using AS on golems in FH again, it'll be too soon. *double facepalm*
TRs neferd? . They have silence, AoE, slow, ranged attacks, 1 shot skills, invisibility, a teleport, INMUNITY, etc. They are like 4 in 1 class.
Youre right, TR suck.
mob too scattred around, u want to group them together, cause they chasing everyone -->AS
mob had been lured by GF in a group --> OF
single attack boss fight --> ice knife
CW got so many nice skill, you can change it according to the group formation and the situation
and i still like my CW, and i dun feel it's weak, especially in PVE
as for HV set fixed, i dun even noe its bug, and i run MC/CN/T2 with pug efficiently now and i sole CW alot, so it doesn't bother me at all
When did I say they sucked? I said they got nerfed. It used to be that TR's would easily top the DPS charts in dungeons and would easily solo the boss while the rest of the group dealt with adds.
Thanks guys, for the reply.
So I understand what you mean now.
Thanks for pointing me.
Since when is a fix in the patch notes a "ninja patch"?
