Arianth Moonlight.6453 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 What's so wrong with that skill, huh? Why does everyone seem to despise it? Every time I face off against a Guardian... Or an Engineer... Or an Elementalist... Or a Revenant... Or a Ranger... Or a Mesmer... Or a Warrior... Or a Thief, they just magically shower themselves with boons (along with all those other 'broken' mechanics) without even breaking a sweat. But somehow, it's only a problem when a single necro spec does it. Incredible, right? 2 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 What's stupid is anet does a general nerf for damage and stuff that was deemed "doing too much for one skill", and then decide to load skills doing too much in their next expansion. Clown car balancing. 😒  2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotejjeken.1267 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Just need boon duration reduced to 3s like it is in sPvP and it'll be fine.  Harbs are the least of the problems now with all the other broken crap running around now due to relic and Weapon Master.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferus.3165 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 harbinger is not an issue. Yes it's extremely strong in 1v1 fights but its mobility is limited and it has no invulnerabilites. It's wvw, so you don't have to fight it 1v1, just bring some server/guild mates and burst it down. Also projectile destruction is a hard counter to it. The only thing that could be changed is the animation of the elite elixir because it's kind of hard to see. Just make it glow in a bright green color when a harb uses it so one can differentiate between the elite and normal elixirs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That is exactly how I deal with harbs as well. I signal them to hold their attacks, type in chat asking for reinforcements, wait until they arrive and when they do we start the fight and burst the harb down easy peasy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrollingDemigod.3041 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I still wonder why A-net hasn't made Harbinger elixirs selfish (only Self Effects on Cast) while also adding a trait that would give these additional Effects in Impact Area like condies, corruption, etc. So much stuff on chopping board on WvW balance... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
