Ovalkvadratcylinder.9365 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 What i mean by this is it would be ncie if projectile reflects/ destroying effects would have a set numbre of blocks available before dissapearing. Maybe not so much as stab but rather the way guardian lines work in that they can only take 10 people (or suchs) walking over them before stop working.I.e,; If say firebrand book 3 bubble could reflect say 10 projectiles over the same duration before idsapearingWhats ur thoughts on this? Pros - cons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign.1093 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 its a con. ppl must learn game mechanics. so they dont auto 111 with range. =p also its one way to zerg bust. you punish bad players with a defensive technique. it does no damage if the enemy dont attack. but it does damage if the enemy dont know what to do.and also, i thought ppl wanted mele. if you put stacks on reflect, we'll be at the mercy of pirateship pew pew classes.make it like stacks, then, lesser nos. will always be at the mercy of more in nos.

Fat Disgrace.4275 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 what more advantage do you want? you're already @ 1500 range and will keep a lot distance. some classes wont get close to you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kovu.7560 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Would it work with blocking against melee?I think its a neat idea, but they'd probably need to remove unblockable skills and traits entirely if they were to go this route.~ Kovu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Anastasia.7103 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 No one:OP: Let's reinforce pirate ship meta one step further even though we've been in this meta for years - by changing how reflects work (max 10 stacks). By doing so, friendly neighbourhood pew pews & fellow bearbow comrades can unite against the zerg if they are not already picking daisies, off tag or dying randomly to retaliation after landing barrage on an NPC instead of clearing siege.

Cyninja.2954 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Sorry, at which point in time did we decide that ranged skills are underpowered?If at all reflects should be buffed and more skills reworked to be projectiles or reflectable. As is right now and given the advantages with range, reflects are the only proper counter and hardly need to get reduced in efficiency. Or make all ranged skills reduce in efficiency at point blank or closer range, then we can talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infusion.7149 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Terrible idea : it would make all the rangers on walls never come off the wall and exacerbate "pirate shipping" and rifle deadeyes. It's already cliche pewpew soulbeast rangers with Sic Em or other such buffs such as One Wolf Pack. Players need to stop with the projectiles and go melee sometimes and there's little incentive to do that if reflects have so many restrictions. If anything I would say CoR should be a projectile when max range and the "physical" part of Gunflame. CoR is still high damage after all these years. We've seen True Shot and Deflecting Shot on DH buffed so much yet CoR + Phase Smash + Drop the Hammer are more dominant due to the CCs and due to not being projectile. I am still of the belief ele should have the max power damage if specced glassy to maximize risk/reward scale , especially given the Fireball speed and meteor cast times. Highest damage should be either range with slow cast / delay damage with red circles OR melee range with normal activation and chain/combo (Mender's rebuke was a gross simplification on rev staff #2). It's utterly imbalanced when you have ranged classes that can stealth and do more damage than glassy eles with little to no survivability penalty or having to get into melee range.'It used to be getting hit with backstab at melee range from a flank was considered high damage. Oh how times have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
