Disable Path of Corruption now

Lol, watching Arken's stream and he's testing Path of Corruption with Nefarious Favor, it's corrupting 4 boons base with NO shade even.

Disable Path of Corruption

I believe this is the very first time I've seen you call a class OP. I'm guessing that the extreme close damage was justified by the DE long range damage.. one supposed to counter the other.

Scourge is the new trap DH. It's OP, but I'd guess it will take 2-3 seasons to get it tuned. My expectations were pretty low anyway.

It's not 'OP' it's glitched, what the hell are you on about

That shit was bizarre. Spvp is already in a terrible state and now we have twice as broken scourges running rampant...

So much for olive branches.

I don't think this is a bug due to the way NF is worded. Also, unless there's some separation which i doubt all the scourge skills can be cast without a shade and use the necro as a target much like mesmer's shatter.

1.) ArenaNet on record saying that shade abilities hit once per target despite any amount of shades and the scourge being in range, this is to avoid 'stacking' and more 'playing the field'

2.) My OP was very short, I said with NO SHADE it corrupts 4 base. The trait says that it corrupts 2 boons with Shroud #2.

I appreciate the banter but what you said about deadeye damage and unintended Scourge bugs being entertwined, it's nonsense, don't make me the bad guy here :expressionless:

You're right, i got the functionality backwards of shroud 2. It should be 2, if it's doing 4 it's cause for a fix.

I'm sure Anet's working on it. By the time the next expansion's broken specs are released I'm sure Anet will eventually halfass some fixes.

Will you be there for next expansion?

I don't think Scourge needs to be disabled, but I am all for disabling Path of Corruption until this gets fixed.

are you sure he's not using anything else besides nefarious favor?only 2 boons corrupted from nefarious favor, not 4, afaik. the scourge acts as a shade themselves, without the need of another shade surrounded.but if they have enfeebling blood traited (highly doubt since parasitic contagion is too good to pass), and shroud activated, that'll be 3 boons base without questioning. any other utilities including the healing utility, sand flare, would add another boon corrupted.if nothing like that, it's too far from number 4, so gg. lol

Just test it for yourself, we're not just discovering that the Scourge acts as a shade, I mentioned that to disclude any possibility of a shade & scourge stacking bug, the bug is purely with the trait, and Path of Corruption needs to be disabled now.

Play Reaper or Scourge and you win pvp game.

Ooo, in competitive games like LoL bugged champions are often disabled until fixed. So, Quaggan agrees, fooo.

But that is in competitive games. Gw2 is a complete opposite to that.

Of course not, I already quit.

I also vote for a disable on the path of corruption.I wonder if Anet is even reading the pvp section of the forum ... they have to understand that we cannot wait 3 months and while we all understand changes take time they are better off taking it out until they do.

SoR got disabled on ele... after like 2 days?

Bump. Playing PvP and getting 2 or 3 scourges per game is becoming unbereable. What a piece of trash rediculously stupid spec. Now add Mirage and Firebrand and you have one of the most unfun metas in the history of this game.

I mean this bug just got publicly figured out yesterday.

They should not disable path of corruption. They just need to figure out how to make shade/skills interact with shroud traits properly. It's kind of sort of why other games have test servers. And also it helps if they learn to read so they can fix bugs that are announced during beta tests and stuff. A bit of a jab but not completely unwarranted.

They know how to make it work as intended, it was clearly just broken in a mini patch. It's been working as intended properly between launch and yesterday.

This is why it needs a sudden disable or hotfix

Unslott path of corruption and it will corrupt absolutely no boons.
