Hymi.7265 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Implement an irremovable boon that lets you be immune to your boons being corrupted or removed. Of course don't make it too op, but make it so that scourges and spellbreakers are less overpowered, especially regarding WvW. A well coordinated use of this boon can be a nice counterplay to the insane boon-corrupt. What you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Resistance already exists but it is too easily corrupted.I don't know, maybe it works that way already, but making it so that it is the last boon that can get corrupted would probably fix all issues.

Raizel.8175 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 The only real solution to boon-corruption is to make boons what they're in every other MMORPG: temporal enhancements. It's stupid to have every single boon permanently on you. That's ridiculous game-design and one of the reasons why this game is dominated by Chrono and Druid. Nerf boons.

Hardcap the uptime and then prevent you from stacking it up again? Doesn't make much sense. If you have enough people you will always stack boons up because everyone brings at least some sort of boon stacking to the table. Why shouldn't they have full stacks if a full group has 40 people who can give out might? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper Cutter.9376 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Boons are the problem. That's why they made scourge and spellbreaker in the first place, to provide a counter.Of course, people immediately started howling for their blood because how dare they actually do the thing they were intended to do.

Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 The current boon system is pandora's box. Now that its been opened and power creep is everywhere, there isn't any going back. Corruption is strong because boons are strong, and making an anti-corruption boon will just tilt the scale into being overpowered in the other direction.

Corruption is doing much more than what's needed to counter boons. The crazy deluge of conditions it causes isn't balancing the issue, it's swinging the pendulum hard in the other direction. Balancing the issue would be something like a debuff that's a reverse of the resistance boon: while under this effect your boons have no effect.

Odinens.5920 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 If scourges just removed boons and maybe did some damage, I'd almost be ok with them.....almost. Conversion of every single boon to a condi is ridiculous. That and pick HOW you want to apply it. The fact they can range a shade AND have it on them at the same time is just stupid. One or the other, pick one.Keep in mind I play scourge for my guild's WvW raids, and I think they are stupid right now. I can't stand WvW at the moment, and am down to maybe a few hours a week in there (may favorite game mode). Sadly, if something isn't done about how scourge works soon I will be done with this game mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry.5713 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 We do not need even "more stuff" to counter the "more stuff" we received previously. This overbuffing of one of the sides in turn has been going on for years now.They had to do something to break the Boon META. Their solution turned out to be a little too powerful. The next solution shouldn't be to then buff boons in return.What we need are tweaked numbers instead of even more boons or a special boon to completely stop the corruption. What comes after that? A special boon strip to take off this new boon in case it turns out to be too strong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laila Lightness.8742 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Remove boons and condis make game simplier we would not need to worry about them and focus on dmging with nice old berserker gear again thats solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
