Fat Disgrace.4275 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I laughed pretty hard once when I found a holo who was afk, (before the nerf to passive invul trait) by the time he died he had 18 stacks of might!!! Prot regen swiftness all just being afk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrHome.1920 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 CMC referred to that overpowered on release thing in the podcast interview a few days ago. He said a spec being too strong on release will result in people trying and messing around with it, which is "good" as the new content will actually be played and for playtime statistics for further balancing. He prefers that over a too weak spec, that nobody plays at release.So we know what will happen, when the next expac releases... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedShark.9548 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Tripping on stairs and breaking my neck, resulting in instant death.Asura summoning golems to open gates in mere seconds. Summoning ice bow as ele and decimate a zerg. Taking 20k dmg from meteorshower with 3.5k armor. Taking 17 dmg from meteorshower in dmg reduction meta.Also, i miss blasting waterfields as primary healing source and flaming ppl who threw a lightfield into it.

Clownmug.8357 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Anyone remember when culling was a thing? Using Veil could make a whole zerg take like 10 seconds for their models to render or you'd have thieves able to backstab players in a group and keep auto-attacking without anyone realizing what was happening.

DeceiverX.8361 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Culling.And the 50% damage mod on release Assassin's Signet, with all the other damage modifiers available to thief on DA and CS, almost all of which have been removed.12k damage Mug was absolutely stupid, but also hilarious it was even allowed to exist.

I would be more okay with this philosophy if they actually targeted the nerfs at the elite specs, but history will repeat itself and we will rinse and repeat through the same BS, and the same overperforming specs will remain such for the majority of the expac. PoF was enough to swear me off of PvP for good. Couldn't even bear finishing the first season after it dropped because of how horrendous balance was. Seeing how specs like core Engi and core Mes get butchered because of Holo and Mirage makes me worry for the future of other classes.I am excited for new e-specs simply because it is new content, but I was hoping CMC would be the voice of reason to help keep the e-specs more in check. We will see I guess. I'm still a little foolishly optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CutesySylveon.8290 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The original Revenant.2 second CD on CoR, each of the 3 damage areas could hit 5 targets so it hit 15 people, Cruel Repurcussuon doing 50% more damage if one of those 15 were blocked.Results = Some unlucky soul ate a 30k+ attack and just ceased to exist. Precision Strike tracked stealth.600 range Unrelenting Assault that hit 7 times, and when it was reduced to 5 hits the confusion bug happened where it made confusion tick 6 times as if you hit 6 skills every time you used it.No CD, 20 energy Phase Traversal.50 endurance regen Riposting Shadows.No lost dagger charges on Shiro heal attacks missing.Reviving someone made them/you get Infuse Light.SotM could almost 1 shot someone on the perfect setup.Equilibrium existed.Ventari healing for 14k with Natural Harmony. Stacking 30 seconds of resistance with out of combat Fast Swap Mallyx Pain Absorption spam. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
