Lucentfir.7430 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Hot take, I'd rather not see mobile hundred blades, I think rooted hundred blades is fine, as long as there's good damage there(which there isn't). So honestly should just undo the change of backloading the damage on the final strike. It used to be very good down cleave back then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I can agree with the backloaded damage part, rooted Hundred Blades sucks. Hell, if not for GS's mobility for competitive I'd never use the weapon - and largely due to that root.

With all the CC and AoE spam the game has devolved into, self-root (or any root, really) is objectively not fine. And it's even worse in sPvP and WvW, where everyone but Warrior (and maybe Elementalist) gets creeped up mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how it be in PvP in general, I just think it's a nice balance between risk and execution since the most opportune time to use self root/100b is when people are CC'd, or trying to power rez downed, instead of trying to hit moving targets, and normally half the time you combo Whirlwind Strike, if you see the interrupt/something dangerous coming or cancel casting it. Self root in general though, the one that's not okay IMO is Flurry, that should get a rework. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighter.5631 Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) or maybe just increase the radius? so its actually a good cleave and so even out the damage. 52 minutes ago, IrishPotato.6327 said: Specter auto chain on scepter is also triple chop animation (Axe basic chain). yea, but warrior already has that, ele hammer water 2 is the first time ever i see a moving hundred blade animation. not just normal hundred blade animation on other classes, but a moving one Edited May 31, 2022 by Lighter.5631 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have that delta because the AA chain in fact does more damage in that interval than 100blades if the last hit of 100blades whiffs. WWA into a wall, bladetrail if terrain doesn't negate the second hit, and rush if it doesn't bug will do more than the AA chain. It's pretty much a given that unless you need the cripple or mobility that anything other than AA is a damage loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pninak.1069 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I would be inefficient to create a unique animation for every skill in the game. for example shieldbash, bull's charge and gunsaber skill 5 also got the same animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, what gives! If you get caught and CCed and take every single Hundred Blades strike, guess what: IT'S YOUR FAULT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is like guardian sword 2, but guardian's is ranged, faster and deflects projectiles kitten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
