Does Anet even know Path of Corruption is bugged?

It corrupts 4 condis instead of 2. It's literally insane on scourge right now. It's actually sooooooooo insanely broken I dont understand how this wasn't fixed within minutes.

Ben's on vacation, so probably no one reading PvP forums.

are they under-staffed or something?

nah, as for today they still dont see any threads about to op condis bursting better tha power and not touching scourge in last patch then they will notice bug on scourge maybe in next or after next pvp season

@TheDevice.2751 The main strength of the Scourge is the team fight potential, but your perception of it's dueling capabilities are hopelessly skewed. In duels, it beats Guardian, Warrior, Revenant, Ranger, Engineer, Thief, and Elementalist. Literally the only thing that should kill a Scourge 1v1 is a Mirage.

Or another Scourge.

Although a LB Soulbeast (And problably a Deadeye) can easily pewpew a Scourge from 1500 range to death if there is no cover for him.

"Fixed" may take longer than that, but it really should have been disabled that quickly.

I'm saying this as a Necro main.

Hype.

Disabling a trait / skill is hard guys.

Except when it's on ele, it's fine then.

There's a huge difference between a skill that abuses an oversight to render a player absolutely invincible and a skill that is just a little more powerful than intended.

They have 1/3 more classes, so it's going to take that much longer to fix things.

@Ben Phongluangtham.1065 said:I just got an update on this. The fix is going through testing and, assuming something doesn't go wrong, will be out in a hotfix late afternoon.

Wooo-hoooo, Quaggan will be able to play once again! Thanks for saving Quaggans day Ben!

Its good that the bug will be fixed but it still doesnt stop Scourge from being OP just makes it less insanely OP.

Is there any chance of getting balance patches (even comparatively small balance patches) every month or so rather than having to suffer through imbalanced metas for six months at a time? I know that you claim to not want to upset the meta during a season, but small corrective measures to balance things makes the situation a lot better than allowing something oppressively overpowered to fester for six months, even before we visit the fact that Path of Fire disrupted the meta far more than any balance patch ever could.

I know that this technically may not be the proper thread to bring this subject up, but threads on that subject never get any red responses, and a lot of players have been asking for an answer to this question for a long time.

Negative.

Personally I love fighting scourges (and spellbreakers). Its a challenge and its a good opportunity to sharpen my skills. I love a challenge :)

Unrelated to PvP are you guys also going to fix mesmer Axe ambush hitting targets twice?

Funny how the only people I see complaining about Scourge are bad players. Maybe it's because the good players know their weakness and know how to kill them. Everybody complains about Scourge when you have CC rendering your character useless while you melt without being able to fight back. Just goes to show what level these complainers about Scourge are on. Nobody is good enough to use CC in their games or they would be complaining non stop about that.

Funny how the only players saying scourge is bad have green forum avatars :trollface:

Hey I like my green forum avatar! Never said scourge was bad, just pointing out an observation. My alt noob f2p account in silver, all I hear is complaints about scourge, when you get to gold/plat, don't hear the complaints flowing as much. It's mostly about how much CC there is and melting without being able to fight back cuz you blew through all your stun breaks and still are getting chain CC'ed. But I'm just a random noob and I've gone slightly off topic here, what do I know.

Your scourge today at AT really did do well. Can I 1v1 it as core dps gerdien?
