Battle maul from 10 targets to 3 targets in just two days, yet red circles of 5 targets for 6 years

Now make all the AoE target cap to 3 targets as well. Its ridiculous the amount of AoE spam in WvW.

Sure. But add an effect like ‘Social Awkwardness ‘ where if a Zerg is stacked in a ball they take damage from each other.

Hasnt been capped to 5 people for 6 years...

There was a time where a single Line of Warding could stop a whole zerg, the only ones who got through were ones with stability.There used to be a time where glamour skills could wipe a full zerg.there used to be a time where 3 staff Eles could flatten an entire zerg due to no cap.

Pretty sure the 5 man cap was put in place just before HoT and that was after the 10 man cap they originally tried when first introducing the cap.

Just remove AoE-caps on damaging/cc skills entirely, terrible for the gamemode

Er, people would still spam 3 target aoe if that was the only aoe...

Make WoD affect 3 targets.

Change necro staff away from aoe.

Im waiting for this community to realise that they are a big problem. Not because they put condi on you but because they are so many that when 30scg spam marks it looks like we are walking on sun. Huuuuge cause of clutter in wvw. Not to mention they are only used in spammy ways to tag and do not fulfill their utility function for necro. But necro lose tagging option and others simply dont care because staff marks are negligible to them so it keeps on going.

Only real AoE spells should be coming from staff Elementalists. The rest should be limited to 3 people really. Want to do AoE like a mage? Then play a mage.

Ok, then limit the invisibility for thiefs, the long bow distance to real maximum value for rangers, the damage of mesmers too.

I'd like to see the lbow range for rangers more in tune with other ranged weapons especially for consistency, and maybe mirage could take another look at for sure.

There is no in case. They just missed it.

Proof that ANET was true to their word, and willing to tweak the mount whenever it was required to do so.

That ANET hasn't changed how AoE's work in 6 years is evidence of a design choice; that the OP doesn't like it or agree with it is irrelevant to the topic of overall game balance, since that balance doesn't revolve around player likes or dislikes, but by what the devs believe contributes to a positive game experience. Whether they are successful or not is a debate for another thread.

Also it should be noted that the "red circles of death" in WvW only seemed to become an acute problem with the introduction of PoF and Scourge, though correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah mostly scourge if I had to take a guess. However this was somewhat dealt with in the recent balancing. Shroud can now be full dodged and doesnt pulse like it used to forever.

is anyone even going to use WoD anymore?

It rips boons quite quickly but probably requires a lot of stab or running balanced stance. Either way a thief running trickery can steal the stab + daze and instantly cancel it if he's sniping the spellbreaker and looking for bubble. Which puts it on full cooldown before it even has any impact.

exactly....i havent logged in on my war but on paper WoD looks pretty much useless to me except in maybe a very few niche situations.
