Do something....

When every single match 6 out of 10 people are scourge/FB, something needs to be done.

Well it comes down to balance. Those two classes play very well together. FB by itself isnt as big a deal as people make it out to be but a FB with a Scourge makes them both unstoppable if played with skill.

Balance patch is inc, just wait a little more...i dont think FB is a huge problem, he is just as strong as tempest or old bunker guard used to be on their time...power and condi damage is insane right now, the only way to have a reliable support spec is making him being able to do insane heal and boon spam...when damage is nerfed across all professions then FB support should be nerfed equaly.

There will be a balance patch tomorrow.

Not to mention there are already viable counters to Firebrand like S/D thief and holosmith. In a scourgeless match a power reaper is the best counter to firebrand but like many other specs, scourge shuts it out because of reliance on boons.

But will there be balance?

You guys really believe the balance patch will solve the fb+scourge 70% of the pvp population problem? Lol. Make Scourge's sand spirits killable like Renegade's and then you'll see a drop in necros, but hey let's rework the mesmer. :)
