sniperman.1738 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 yea they managed to break wvw in one patch honestly, some classes are hitting bunkers for insane amounts of damage, and there's alot of other stuff overtuned in this "balance patch", like honestly wvw was in a better state before this Patch dropped, and this patch literally managed to break almost everything.

Infusion.7149 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Invoke lightning is from lightning hammer (the conjure weapon) so whatever is bugged/changed is not that. If you think something is broken test it in armistice bastion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycoprophet.8107 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) No but it seems like certain classes are doing bugged amounts of bursts, holo nades, scourge shades, zerker gs f1 etc, its kitten, u can be 20k and burst to 0 in 1 sec, it was not like that pre patch. Hey anet why arnt my thief backstabs doing 20k? Edited May 12, 2021 by Psycoprophet.8107 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemdarr.2158 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Because you don't wear Superior Rune of Strength. If you did, you could crit for 15k+ (tried on DE earlier) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchme.1097 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 You are not enjoying it because you haven't learnt how to deal with necro's shroud. None of the damaging abilities included in that picture of yours have been changed from the last patch. I suggest you really read the patch notes Game updates - Guild Wars 2 Wiki (GW2W) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are suggesting the numbers are normal thats completely impossible. According to these forums 250 damage/s burn stacks is super OP while 14k damage comes from the weakest class in the game. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarlan.7682 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) was pretty fun zerg busting while it lasted 🤣 i would even be in for a 100% dmg increase event week and in general bringing back some dmg to wvw zergfighting. What about making more skills 10 targets with dmg escalation on hitting 5+ ppl? Edited May 12, 2021 by Sarlan.7682 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was hating it but had i known and was running strength rune to give what I was getting i woulda absolutely loved it. Doing the now normal potato damage vs players with seemingly post feb damage wasn't so fun lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of hope that instead of fixing the rune bug, they just reduce the damage modifier to 0.5% and let it deal the increased damage per stack.

Spike damage is stupid in this game, and when you're not getting spiked to nothing in one-shot, you're getting spiked, disabled and then spiked again. #CrapCombatSystem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
