Lucentfir.7430 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Remove it. This is what everyone wants, just keep removing options from the game until you're just left with one amulet. I'd suggest the one amulet be celestial. xD Then we can move on to trimming down rune and sigil options. :+1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anet deleted support I would take the queen to leave and just play cod for the same feels. I hope anet don’t read these forumsI love how across all games everytime the support role is targeted said game is immediately threatened to devolve into Call of Duty.Because conquest was never about kills it was about winning points and holding them every role has value and needed to dps to bunker to romer to support. This is what makes gw2 pvp great and these different roles are what attract different people to the game mode. Not everyone wants to one shot not everyone wants to be a 1v1 god Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuma.1503 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I've been playing renegade with carrion instead of demo because shortbow has good condi damage on it.

Maybe 1200 healing power is more or less enough, no need to give other stats to make the sum comparable to other amulets.Its not that its "just give them damage" its that almost every other state combination that isn't bad/a noob trap/ makes sense has already been removed or already exists.Expertise and concentration were universally removed from amulets.Healing power & toughness have a compound effect which renders it too strong with the amount of effects skills / especs have these days. They all got removed.Cele got removed for having all 3 defensive stats and moderate damage meaning you were incredibly tanky and had decent damage.Ferocity holds no bearing and is never found without power. Its mathematically almost always worse than power. So isn't tend to exist without it to avoid trapping noobs.Magi, (HEALINGPOWER, perc, vit ) was removed because it was too strong as a pure support amulet.All amulets have a minimum of 3000 stats except paladin at 2800 because toughness and vitality have a compound effect on effective hp.Your suggestion of "just 1200 healing power no need for other stats" would make the amulet a non-choice almost 100% of the time. Why take an amulet with just 1200 healing power when I can take one with 500 and still have an extra 1800 stat points else where compared...Stat wise on amulets its either pur power, hybrid condi / support, rabid.

Even if they reintroduce it, maybe remove the heal power part of that amulet. In this case, the only amulet with healing power is the one with maybe only healing power stats and low or non other stats. I think teams will still have one support using it for the team fight, but we might see less side node unkillable bunkers, which might make the MATs and community organised tournaments more exciting.

How does that work?Kalla - nerfedShiro - u wasting impossible odds, but good for teleportingMallyx - ur elite and pull are uselessI was mostly meme'ing. I wouldn't say it's broken, but as for how it works... You litearlly just go shiro/jallis as normal, and you run carrion amulet over demo. You don't really need impossible odds, so you mostly use shiro for the stunbreak, lifesteal or port. Because I naturally find myself pooling energy in it, I can more freely make use of Jade Winds as well. Shortbow has very good condi damage on it (it is a condi weapon in PvE afterall). Bombardment, if you can line it up with CC does a crap ton of burn damage. It actually has a good matchup into opposing renegades because you can tank their damage with your Vit, and they really don't have good sustained cleanse to deal with your pressure. Pair it with a support and you've got a beefy teamfight dps that can dish out very good pressure over time. Not very bursty (outside of bombardment/spiritcrush which you can line up with CC), but the damage it deals quickly adds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who's idea it was to make sure that "All Supports should deal Reaper like AoE damage but maintain maximum levels of support" but it was a stupid idea.Supports have always held some "premium" / very good CC, though. Old-school support druid could frequently apply daze in an area, immob x 2 and cripple + knockback. Support firebrand had plenty of CC in F3 and F1, staff 5 has always been a game-changer in a lot of ways. To name a few examples.Also, bunker does not = side noder duelist. Bunkers back in the day were able to hold a node 1v3 if they were allowed to cap. Side noder has traditionally been able to hold 1v2 max, and goes down to well-timed CC and burst. Bunkers had plenty of qualities overlapping with supports as well, and the two leeched off each other efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
