Rune Of Sanc Is Busted

"Gain a barrier with health equal to 20% of any heals you receive"

This is broken because of the following

• This works in downstate, meaning that the barrier is multiplied based on how many people are ressing you. So technically it's going to be near impossible to dps out a target that has this rune equipped.

• This also works with Signet Of Mercy, meaning that if a downed target gets ressed with Rune Of Sanc they literally get max barrier.

So it's needless to say that this is a huge oversight and needs to be tuned accordingly. And the only way to make it happen is by making this public knowledge. Enjoy it while you can I guess.

Countless

Please let me try it first! I won't be able to play for the next two weeks though...

Rune of the Defender, Speed and Sanctuary may all need to be nerfed ASAP

To me it kinda read like an overheal mechanic. The stats aren't very desirable, but I can see some commanders run this especially.

After reading the whole list of changes, my only reaction was "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK".It looks like as if they invited a guy from diablo3 balancing team to design those changes.

this is absolutely broken on a scourge with abrasive grit

so are all the sigil & rune changes in effect for spvp too? I can't check in game right now, but if they are (it sounds like they are and I only saw a single sigil split for sPvP) I don't know what to say. I can find so many broken runes on certain builds for sPvP, and season starts today too lol what a joke.

Probably an oversight and will be changed soon enough at least

Just tested it and it even procs off passives. It's basically +20% healing received. Even without traits that exploit barrier that's pretty strong and since it also includes boon duration it just made every bunker build +20% harder to kill.

I got to admit..In the sustain & heals & regens department.. Some classes i wont mention is kinda broken. Espacially cuz they can dish out lots of damage in a 2 seconds.

wait you think rune of the defender is OP? It was nerfed lol. It used to heal for 5k on block with 30 sec cd with no heal power. Now it heals for 1k on a 20K hp player with 1 sec ICD but you need to have 5 blocks available in a 30 sec window to be the same as it was before. Plus you lost the 2 sec of regen on every block with no ICD.

It's going to be easy for players to heal if they're surrounded by classes like FB spamming aegis. I think it'll be an issue in WvW

condi clear and 2 might on every hit as scourge is totally intended. axe 2 clears 8 condis and grants 16 might, not too bad. doesn't matter in a dead game tho.

im not really sure why isnt this getting hotfixed yet ?

It procs on every hit from a blood necro which constantly removes conditions and gives might

this whole rune looks like an actual exploit

Lol this is fun though. Bout time Condi had a hardcounter

In WvW you step into a few circles to full heal while blocking, that's why.

there literally are 9:1 power to condi builds on higher elo/plat 3 and you want condi to get hard countered? how bout l2p instead breaking the game with some dumb " bugs"

You know what would get an instant hotfix? :p

Someone does 10 blood scourge full wing clears with runes of sanctuary.Its probably quite easy for any pug group with the ressing health, condi cleanse with perma 25 might. Probably need 1 chrono for quickness/alacrity though.

scourgefix it george

go in there like today and disable this rune.

Condi hasnt been "condi" since 2015.

Theyre both "burst" , only condi is more lame to play against.

this rune should be +30% barrier strength instead or something like that.

@"mrauls.6519" said:Rune of the Defender, Speed and Sanctuary may all need to be nerfed ASAPdon't forget rune of vampirism, altho its bugged right now.

Put a minimum heal threshold on the run of say 500 so it doesn't proc off life steal and stuff. Prevent it working while downed if possible, if not then slap a 1s ICD maybe but I hate ICDs

yea having 1-2 seconds to react to use condi removal is more lame against getting 1shot out of stealth in an instant.. right

get real, like i said 9:1 power to condi in high elo and that's not cause people are "honorable" but cause condi is garbage compared to power right now

this rune is broken it doesnt heal on all heals....it doesnt heal on passive heals and other proc'd regens......it doesnt heal on signet of renewal either....i only receive barrier on skills that i activate and get heals from
