Spoiler It's more than 14 and less than 50. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider how silly a notion it is to propose nerfs to a class based on a small character model and damaging the playstyle of every person who uses that class, instead of just turning on "standard enemy models" in settings. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when flamethrower scrapper got nerfed, everyone was saying that we have to nerf it because it is "not fun to fight", simply because you couldn't (easily) CC the build. Sorry, but now I think it is just fair that we also nerf spellbreaker. This build is even less fun to play against for new players, because it literally doesn't let them do anything. They get CCed once and then stay on the ground until they are dead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New and old players both have issues playing against them, due to their elusiveness and runaway potential. And then there are people who hate fighting Necromancers due to their minions and Shroud often being used as a second HP bar (allegedly). And there are people who can't fight rangers, because they have too much immobilize and Longbow is too strong for also having 1500 range. If we are going to nerf the one thing Warrior can do decent through the ground, then there should also be nerfs to other things that allegedly have been issues for some people for significantly longer. If they nerf Warrior again and remove the last few remaining important bits, they might as well rename it to Eunuch, because there'll be no important bits left.

Now it's just warrior's turn. *shrug* Juggernaut was (and is) a problem because pulsing stab is a bad idea and should be implemented (if at all) in short durations. Permanent pulsing stab is just bad design. As was running around with superspeed and pressing 1. It was pretty much the ultimate brain dead playstyle. That said, they really should have reworked juggernaut instead of nerfing flamethrower. Now FT is essentially useless, and, by extension, so is juggernaut. They could have made juggernaut to have pulsing protection, or just an initial bit of stab when entering FT, or something else that would have allowed FT to still be strong for damage but be more counterplayable. Pivoting to warrior, hammer is much less of the problem than Spellbreaker is. Almost all of hammer Spellbreaker 's kit is very telegraphed, but it's the sheer abundance of CCs (esp if they are running dagger shield on the other weapon set) that make it hard to deal with. There's already counterplay available, but nerfing FC a bit by increasing it's CD (and maybe reducing the daze back to 1s) would go a long way to making it more manageable to play against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there wasn't so much CC in the game, traits like Juggernaut might be too much. But as long as CC vomit is so disgustingly high, every bit of Stability that currently exists in the game is still not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flamethrower had other problems besides the ease of use of the build and Juggernaught. When I was running that build, I rarely even directly engaged players since I could just hit them through walls, hit them through ceilings, and hit them through floors, all for multi-target AoE power and condi damage.

Sorry but this screams "I'm not that experienced with Flamethrower". The FT scrapper build that got FT nerfed was pure power. You suffered dps loss from doing anything but auto attacking really. The auto attack has, what, 1 burn at the very end of a 2+ sec long channel? Big condi damage there. And cone attacks, FT included, are notoriously bad at hitting on different elevations. Yes, they go through walls, but you're not consistently hitting up through ceilings or down through floors. In addition, most PvP conquest points are out in the open, with no walls to hit through. If you "rarely even directly engaged players", does that mean you never fought over capture points (i.e. how you win)?

Myror.7521 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) As mutch as I love my class but even I say. This full cc warrior build is pretty broken and need to tuned down. The best way to not make it unplayable but just slightly weaker would be a cd increase to stalwart strength and might it be from 0, 25 seconds to around 3 seconds. But there need to be something done to make room for at least some counterplay. Edited December 31, 2022 by Pati.2438 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
