shion.2084 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 It may be that scrapper after the successive nerfs to nades, and stealth and... well anyway is just not competitive anymore biasing my opinion, but man are there a lot of guardians playing out there today, they can run valk but still hit like a truck and have blocks (and ports and invuln variants). Is anyone else weirded out that they didn' do anything about the spew of 12k, 8k, CC you in a circle fest that seems to be going on. I mean if I really dodge everything and live long enough for them to burn through all their defences, I can get one... but I have to be perfect for like 20 seconds before I can even get a window (I don't get unblockables). I think you can kind of tell the tuning is off from the sheer rise in popularity of the class, it's kind of like the flood of rangers from the previous silliness. Why do you figure they didn't do anything to tweak it in the balance patch? I mean to put it in perspective, running at 18k health, if I stand right on top of someone, I can grenade barrage for 7 - 8k once every 20 some odd seconds. 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny.7260 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Considering how long it took for the to touch Death's Advance on Rifle. I'm not shocked in the slightest. Scrapper is still totally capable doing work, it just isn't a lopsided win anymore when having them. I think it's because DH is kind of a niche right now and they tend to focus on mATs for results, probably. It's why Specter constantly got smacked in the face again and again. Especially Sc/Pi 3's ability to slow so much. I've seen DHs running things like Defender Relic to be a pseudo on-node fighter or Brawler Relic to be a roamer sort of thing. I think people are still trying to figure out what to do with it, because it does have potential to do things, but other things are just better at it and/or just move faster. It'll just take for it to be an actual meta to get a proper slap to the face, but that won't be for a bit most likely. Especially if Firebrand actually ends up being a decent support choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie.9143 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 They buffed dh f2 🤣 Gonna be Scourge / DH meta for a while. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwelgm.4315 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 They're definitely waiting up for what the meta will look like after the new weapons release. A huge balance patch now would have made no sense especially with something like DH that has been nerfed throughout since release and still is an innate noob snatcher. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sereath.1428 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Just like in WvW with Willbender. They like to have a very beginner-friendly yet very rewarding spec for everyone. Everyone can be a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send pet in from 1500 for combat, merge, step back a bit, swap to LB, then 2 free barrages at 1600, +piercing force fire on auto/LB2. Its pretty fking funny watching anybody on point have to vacate or die. Its what, 40-60k dmg to each person fully hit/peirce @1600 range, absolutely comical game design.
