Theres been other complaints about earth shield (which is fine) but the the complaints come from lightning rod. There have been complaints about shocking aura and lightning hammer... when the problems come from lightning rod.It does too much and is flying under the radar.And also the a million CC Elite.

Stallic.2397 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 CC chaining and Lightning Rod are two different things and sadly this thread is confusing them. On Berserker Amulet, Lightning Rod does about 900 damage on disable with 3 sec of weakness. You have to disable them first. Which means, Stability counters this build. That's just the basics. When you look closer at the build you'll realize, range counters Dagger Weavers. Condi's counter LR because traiting Weaver and Air means no condi clears. Etc, etc. LR weaver isn't an OP, immortal Ele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier. People are confusing CC's with LR. They're two different things. So no, there isn't a class that can CC spam for that much damage.LR on the other hand. Can deal 3K if you spec heavy into offense for it. High ferocity, high crit chance, high power. And that's on a Strict melee Ele. An Ele with low health, low armor. That's where you got outplayed. Instead of kiting a melee character, you didn't. Instead of using stab, you didn't. Pressure and counter with Condi. Use ports, invuln, etc. So many ways to kill an LR Ele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's assume, 60-70% crit chance, then you're gonna do maximum 10.5k damage.That means you have to execute 5 stuns on your enemy, with the grandmaster trait, to get that much damage. Isn't that reasonable damage? In comparison to other classes that can do the same amount of damage, without stunning 5 times, without even using as many skills.

With fury and swiftness, while attuned to air, you're gonna do about 2.2k each LR. That's not unresonable to me. Is hitting 2.2K unreasonable to you?People complain about CC chaining, but that's a whole different discussion. I've said in previous threads that they should buff Stab. Kitten, i've even made threads about it! But if an LR Ele cc's you 5 times in a row and does 11K LR from it, I wouldn't call that OP. My first question would be, why didn't you use stab, teleport, invuln, condi pressure, etc? Trying to CC that many times in a row is not as easy as you think. Especially on a class like weaver that involves the right rotation and the right timing. It's not a simple weapon swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poelala.2830 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 You all are crying about a build with barely any cleanse.
