53% of the team's damage done by one person: https://i.imgur.com/arMTkso.jpg

502-0 with no one afk (spawn camped): https://i.imgur.com/c7zC9f5.jpg

Why does it seem like matchmaking has gotten so extreme lately? Most games are very one-sided from the beginning of the match, with very few close games: https://i.imgur.com/XSU7ROy.png

Core glass is pretty dead now. Even going as squishy as possible (Zerker + Strength Runes + Separation Sigil + Courage Sigil + Fire 132 + Air 321 + Arcane 132 + Glyph of Storms + Arcane Wave), it's not really possible to do enough damage consistently enough to clear points. And every class can oneshot you 😕 After playing core glass staff for almost 30 seasons (multi-diamond): RIP

There's no matchmaking in ranked either. Seems like something got broken in the last update: https://i.imgur.com/iyc7rwp.jpg

Core glass staff is still going strong ?

CC and interrupts are important in most MMOs, but being stunlocked is something else entirely. It's not fun to have no control of your character for extended periods of time. You're literally sitting there NOT playing the game

10+ seconds of fear, knockback, knockdown, daze, immobilize, etc is not fun. Even with two stunbreaks on top of regular condi removal

The current level of CC is pretty nuts. Face a Warrior + Mesmer and you might as well run away lol

Much better for newer players because the TTK has increased. You can't get deleted in 2 seconds as easily, and it gives you more time to think and respond

600k is after, 1M is before How consistent is that though? 600k sounds like a lot of node AFKers that dont hit back and at least one minion mancer where you can farm dps on pets, while the game drags out to 500-480.2nd match today, no minion mancers:

Every match is typically 300k-600k, with me doing a minimum of 30% of my team's damage :)

Please share your screenshots of 600k damage then? Hell, I have screenshots of >1 million damage:

Core glass staff has more point burst than weaver Some dual skills actually do like 8-10k crits so I doubt that ele has better burst. There's nothing that staff ele does better than weaver outside of maybe sustain/boons for your team with water/arcane spec. Try it. The AoE point clear can't be beat :) Weaver gives you more aoes so I still dont see how ele beats weaver in that. It's not about more AoEs, it's about the burst damage and frequency of those aoes. You can't beat 25 might, runes of strength, berserker amulet, meteor showers on CD. In addition to 4k lava fonts and 2-3k autos AND the burst from arcane blast, arcane wave, arcane shield, and fire elemental. It's constant, massive point clear Arcane skills hit for 1k after patch. All fire dual skills do more damage than lava font. You have same might potential, better utility skills (stone resonance is the best stab on ele while twist of fate is the best stun break) and just better damage output (higher precision and damage modifiers). Not to mention that runes of strength dont do that much for you, you can run strength, pack or even fire and achieve better burst. I'm failing to understand how 2 aoes and random arcane tickle on core ele is better burst compared to 4+ aoes on top of highest burst skills (plasma blast and pile driver) that staff has on weaver.First match back playing glass staff, almost 600k damage:

What is anti-gold farm in pvp? I've never heard of that

Next match:

Two matches later:

No one was afk, we were just totally outclassed. It's either win big or lose big (gold 2), often because of comp (e.g. 4 flanker team vs 4 bunker team).

Core glass staff has more point burst than weaver

The big balance patch has made core glass staff really strong. You can AoE burst better than anyone else, and that burst is more useful than ever because of the increased TTK. You also survive longer because everyone else's damage was nerfed. Wayyy easier to play now, especially compared to my thief lol

Still works in March 2020 with competitive 2v2s. Placed in Silver 2, currently in Gold 2, still climbing
