Ok I Did It.2854 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Does it really need nerfed, ive only seen a few top elite guilds using the necro stacking, and that was for a fun gimmick, even now when some of them guilds are streaming they aren't stacking necros, it requires a lot more co-ordination than you would think or else all you would see on LFG is, VG looking for 5 scourge, SAB looking for 6 scourge, now how to EPI or get out.What about the recent WR on Sloth that stacked 5 weavers, should we have weaver damage reduced by 10-20% so that mechanics cannot be skipped due to insane damage.

And we don't even have good DPS, in general. We have even stacked them in Gorseval.Yeah, weaver is broken too and I think it should get a nerf that equals weaver to other DPS classes. The thing is that weaver brings nothing more than DPS to the party, while other classes bring more things -CC, utility, or have more survivability. Necro has epi and barriers, a huge HP pool and survivability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subli.8217 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 anyone who says necro should be bad because it has more hp and barrier and easier rotation ignores the lack of active defense, ignores warrior has easy rotation too (and very decent dps), the same health pool and even stronger armor type (yes heavy armor gives better passive dmg reduction) while also having 2398472789 blocks, evades etc.ele also has extra evade on staff. + nuking everything in 5 sec means offense as defense (short fight = less time to die). if you take all of that into consideration and compare with other classes, saying necro is fine as it is makes it hard to take them seriously and I can only hope anet can see that as well and act on it. there's also mirage with huge amount of damage and also lots of defense (and it's active, not passive like on necro, so its even more superior).the balance in this game is varied and classes with tons of defense get to have amazing dps, and classes with zero defense get to be terrible. it's a problem. another problem is that any class has at least one working build (meaning around 33k dps and above). - except necro, unless you stack them.

Imperadordf.2687 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I don't know why people are arguing. On small hitbox every class should have a build that can break 31-32K DPS (note that I said class, not spec). Otherwise buff it. Scourge is easier to play so it is ok if it has 31K DPS on golem. Weaver is ok if it has 36-37K DPS because it has a harder rotation.I'm in favor of nerfing Epi only if Necro gets buffed in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile sand cascade has no cast time, lower cooldown, and you always have access to it. 8 seconds of not doing damage as weaver is huge dps loss, and at that point you're probably doing same dps as scourge. The thing is, you never swap to water so you always have higher damage, but scourge can always use its barrier. Same goes with cc, which is why no weaver bothers with it.@"Agrippa Oculus.3726" said:Aren't words like: difficult (rotations), easy (gameplay), hard (whatever), all very subjective terms???Some ppl find it hard to press a lot of different buttons in a repetitive order, some ppl find it difficult to time dodges, and others find it difficult to perfectly adept to its surroundings: say knowing when adds come exactly in 900 range ... (u see what I did there).It's all very subjective: ask a good piano-player and they laugh at ALL Weavers how face-rolling easy it is to get SO much dps.How many times have you heard someone say to a new player "play weaver/chrono, it's the strongest dps/support for raids"? Instead you have people telling you "use staff dd/3xsb/mirage/scourge" because the classes are braindead and players get carried by those builds by simply spamming several buttons off cooldown without even weapon swapping.How many times have you seen a speedclear with 7 weavers, 2 chrono and 1 warrior? Now check or . No healers since scourges sustain eachother. No need for every single buff in game since epidemic scales only with condi damage. Pure button spamming off cooldown since your main damage is epidemic anyways. How is that balanced? Weavers only do high damage if you stack every possible dmg modifier on them and they dont fuck up their rotations (including picking up banners, not picking up conjureds because someone else took them etc.), while scourge just needs to bounce epidemic.I'm not saying any of those 2 classes are op/up, or that necro needs nerf (it needs some buffs actually), but epidemic is simply game breaking because it's such a low effort/high reward skill on a class which has enough self sustain, making it very easy to stack and abuse.
