Hello! I'm sry if im using quote incorrectly cuz im a bit of a forum noob, that being said everything you have typed is kinda insane but I'm gonna assume you are being serious and you aren't some sort of weird troll.
First of all this is a random reset log with 2x scg https://gw2wingman.nevermindcreations.de/log/20220109-015927_drkai_kill in this kill which is 100% reproducable easily no other classes struggle with their dps uptime like fb or cslb, only ren needs to be melee at a part of the fight where he benefits from it so we just have him stay melee during split mechanic, everything you said is completely untrue scourge is very strong in terms of personal dps for ai simply because the skill rotation of that class fits the individual mechanics of the fight(as in when the boss is broken what condis you apply at what interval and how you benefit from them etc) also I'm not sure what you were implying about bad cc, in the log i linked for example we break the bars as we intended too idk what you mean honestly lol. The amount of effort being irrelevant is just your opinion i cba to argue against that. Moreover alot of players(like me) enjoy playing power builds in both organized and non organized settings you are sort of just dismissing that completely, before exposed was changed alot of players who enjoy power builds would pug alot because they simply had fun playing the game! this is a real thing! slb is also my 6th most played class or so I just happen to enjoy it alot right now, slb is actually really really good in condi pugs it's just boring thats all. This might seem absolutely nuts to someone like you but I can go on ensolyss and outdps most scourge groups doing 27k + target as pslb, slb is absolutely not bad in current state of the meta its just boring!
