Straegen.2938 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Most of us have all seen the reflect meta in full swing in large scale. It is constant with near 100% up time, never ending and another escalation that removes even more diversity in the meta. Reflect needs to have a certain amount of fixed uses and then drop rather than a time limit. This would open up more counters to the ability and increase diversity since anything that doesn't ground target or AoE is pretty much useless now in large scale.

I've brought this up before. One problem is the amount of reflects that you cna have available over all. But you can also look at the what problems different reflects cause, for example: dome shaped reflects vs. walls or solo reflects (like magnet aura). I think the most toxic aswell as most abundant one is the dome shaped ones. And im including proj. destruction domes here aswell,There is virtually no way for a mprojectile skill to get around a dome whereas inn theory a wall can be walked around, although you can just stand in it. But seen in large scale battle that's harder to organise compared to a dome which you can jsut put ontop of your group.I guess I'm a little biased and salty as an engi player with 2/2 core weapons being projectile weapons but.. ye, youget what I'm saying- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archmagus.7249 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Not really needed. Unblockable projectiles can't be reflected, regardless of whether it's aura, or a skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dediggefedde.4961 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 How about making projectiles have a minimum-reach even in reflects (e.g. 10 units)?That way point-blank hits would still hit in WoD while pirate ship and piercing would still be repelled.It would also reward people staying more inside the bubble instead of in its border and projectile-weapons would be usable again to an extent.At least to me it sounds strange that WoD destroys the pistol-shot when you put the pistol on the enemies chest.Regarding small reflects/blocks, like magnetic-aura, the distance would need to be adapted.

Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 The solution is Unblockable. Get access to Unblockable. If you have to give up a utility slot, well then ask yourself what the pros and cons are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalkvadratcylinder.9365 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Unblockable seems like a lazy solution that could easily get out of hand, The root of the problem is the amount of area reflects, their durations and short cds. That's where work needs to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kovu.7560 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Personal reflection isn't the problem (except personally on elementalist), it's the mass amount of area reflection that's causing groups to have near 100% uptime. It's no different than the boon meta, except the only people who give a surprised pikachu face are the folks who rely more heavily on projectiles.If you want to invest in personal reflection, that's fine -- having groups rotate AoE reflection for near permanent uptime is what causes some issues.~ Kovu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspirine.6852 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 The projectile hate in big groups is indeed impressive.. Not sure how to solve it though. Because they probably made it like this with the advice from zergers in mind.Dont forget the nice combination of seeing reflect, trying another and hit retal.. Always fun..

MedievalThings.5417 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 My favorite is casting a reflect like feedback on a large group and do nothing else. With no one hitting me watching the endless conditions pile on me and my health drop to near nothing because I cast a single reflect skill. There are a lot of issues that need to be addressed.

It doesn't hit enough targets and requires an absurd amount of mitigation just to close the gap. The game has shifted fully into ground target builds and support bunkers spamming Reflect, Boons, etc. The large group that wins is typically the one with the better comp. There really isn't any counter strategy any longer as they have essentially nerfed melee so hard only a masochist runs one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
