A necro complaining about balance... Oh the irony.

I was going to say something similar...Unsupported necro is next to useless against a team that can focus. Unsupported against the whole enemy team, yes! No class is supposed to take on the whole enemy team by themselves. 1v1 and 1v2 necro is really strong and has plenty of self sustain. No other class has the same amount of damage/tankiness/cc combined. All other classes have to give up something. I have stopped playing some classes all together because it's no point vs this "meta". You can't do shit basically.. Try play, for instance a warrior, against double scourge and/or a reaper. I rather play solo against 5 mesmers ffs. Necro is the first thing they need to look at when swinging the nerf bat. This is just silly at this point.

Honestly if anything needs a nerf it’s necro. Scourge and to some extent reaper is much stronger than all other classes right now. There is a reason we see double necro in every kitten game right now and it’s getting annoying. Or bettet yet, bring all other classes up to the same level.

Honestly how can people complain about these skills..?? None of them is OP. Strong, yes but not OP. So you get killed by a duelist and come to the forum to cry. Really..? Would be interesting to hear what class the op (and all nerf-instigators) is playing. There are so much other crap that needs attention in spvp than these skills. I reeeally hope the devs doesn’t look at the forums sometimes.

Mesmers aren’t any good according to these forums. So no nerf is needed.. ^^

I recall this, but have a vague concept of time regarding it, and correct me if I'm wrong; but this was quite a while ago wasn't it? Like HoT Days? The biggest issue I mostly see is if the balance isn't accommodating for it, and/or doesn't remain consistent across game builds; the possible issues presented by character swapping can sometimes be inflated. Again I can't recall how far back such a change was, and although I don't think a seasonal "re-vote" is reasonable, or makes any sense. I don't think a "re-vote" from time to time would be a bad option since as time changes so does the game, and what made sense, or was healthy before may not be so now. On the other hand I'm staunch believer of "being right isn't a democracy", and for PvP in particular, I would implore decisions be made objectively for the health of the game. In spite of whatever players vote on. Yeah here we go again... ”The commuinty voted x amount of years ago bla bla..” The same lame exuse that is always used right now to justify that they don’t give a kitten about this game mode. The fact that they keep pointing to several years old polls is a mockery to the whole community.. Edit: with that said. Changing this now is a bad idea. The matchmaking right now is so f-d up you need the ability to change the class to not get totally ripped off during matchmaking. So fix the matchmaking first then disable this.

Maybe try to play warrior yourself and try the skill. The pulsing doesn’t last forever besides it doesn´t seem to help against certain cc. When I play warrior I get cc:d all the time during rampage. Sometimes for the whole duration. So I play mesmer instead cause it feels much stronger as a side noder. Boon corrupt man. Bless that skill. Nothing beats the feeling of chain corrupting pulsing rampage stab into fear. Get feared for 10 years until they finally give up and leave rampage without having done anything useful.LoL yeah and usually get killed in the process. But hey forums says it’s OP so I guess it must be true.. ^^

A poll from when exactly..? https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/player-vs-player-poll-soloduo-queue/https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/PvP-Season-5-Ranked-Queue-Poll-Closed/6370640 Wait.. what? So Anet’s basis for keeping this in game is based on data that is over 2.5 years old... Is this a joke? It hasn’t occured to people that this might have changed.. This is even worse than I thought. Please read what the poll was for. It was for deciding whether to limit the party-size you can queue with from 5 down to 2. It was never about "adding" or "keeping" duos in solo-queue. Makes even less sense now... Just remove duo and everyone will be happy (exept a few legendary players). Its almost like other people have different opinions.Not from where I am sitting. Actually seems like most want it removed. But hey why listen to the community, right..

Because it is so easy remove the stab and fear/stun/daze/etc you during the whole rampage duration. Idk but rampage is not the thing that scares me the most in this game. Also without that elite, warrior would be completely removed from the meta.. They basically only have one decent build.

Its the most telegraphed skill in the game. Just dodge, dude.

Like a year ago. Now it is barely a C. Generally: S Tier: Fire Brand Support, Holo and Spell BreakerA Tier: Soul Beast, scourge, scrapper, heraldB Tier: core thief, reaper, weaver If your aim is to rank high in ranked (beyond 1650 rating) or play Arranged Teams, you definitely should stick to on of the above. If not, play what you like as long as it is not renegade or any condi build not mirage, scourge or Fire Brand. You haven’t played PvP in a while, have you? Condi Mirage is S tier for sure. Spell Breaker however, isn’t. At most A tier but hardly even that. Just watch some ATs and you will get a clear picture of what classes are strong at the moment. And what you managed to take away from watching tournaments........ is that Spellbreaker isn't a top-tier choice? When it's been a staple feature of the majority of teams since PoF released?Yeah I saw them. I saw that they struggled compared to other classes in the same role.

I was like something does not look right. Then I realized you main warrior. And now SB is underperforming and Mesmer is S tier. Ya buddy. There is not a single Mesmer over 1700 rating. Also, there was a discussion regarding AT in the last 3-4 weeks. And they mentioned that there was Mesmer had the least presentation since Feb and no team won had a Mesmer.LoL wut?? Where do you see that I ”main” a warrior? Cmon dude this is 2019 I play serveral classes. The most played for me in pvp is actually mesmer. Don’t remove that tin foile hat..

I agree 100%. The wintrading and exploiting needs to stop.

Really? Why not create a separate queue for duos then? Or allow 5man teams. Cmon man can’t you see this hurts the game mode more than it favors it. You are punishing people that dont play with a partner to cater for a minority...

I agree with OP. This happens every time I am on a winning streak or close to changing rank tier. At this point I can almost tell before when the matchmaking is going to match me with bad players. Or bad.. It's even worse. Thay are AFKers, griefers etc.. You know when a random pattern repeats often enough it's not random any more. I have seen this behaviour in other games to but not so aggressive as this. This algorithm is actually punishing you if you win. I also find it strange that a Anet dev comes to this thread only to deny this without any explanation as to how it works... It's almost as if they want pvp to die. They are succeding with that for sure..

Adding stuff?? How about fixing the game before adding new things to it. Like for instance the pvp queue that breaks every 2 hours!

I agree. Remove it. Give us something useful. But hey, this is pvp so don't hold you breath..

Yeah this is getting extremely frustrating. To the point that I can't bother to login anymore. I mean what's the point of playing a game that only frustrates you. First you loose -60 points in ranked due to the broken matchmaking engine (and/or AFKpeople/cheaters/win traders/etc). Then when you want to win it back you get thrown out of the game due to the queue not working.

I agree 100000%

As the title says. Q is broken. Again. Well done.
