Rift Storm Adjustment

[spaceboots]

Thing is i can LoS a Sab extremely easily but RB charging my group we can't. It's a lot harder to avoid his aoe damage then a rogues. I think i have seen enough flailing bodies as a warrior charges through to prove my point.

Been in plenty of games where all we do is mark their top warriors then healers.

Try it out. It's amazing. JUST FOCUS THE WARRIORS. There is literally nothing they can do about it.

Let's assume for a second this is a real problem (because it isn't). This nerf did nothing to change the "problem" and hit pve soloing hard.

Is there a hidden forum where NPC's post and whine about being hit too hard by "unkillable warrior players" as well?

I can think of more than a few times this would hideously backfire if done in general pop. You'd have to be able to recognize troll specs vs dps specs to start...

Most RBs in PVP run 38pts in RB and Planer Blade which provides no damage, or healing.

38Pts in RB means ET procs 100% of the time for .15% of AP for each pt in RB, which equates between 45-55 points of Air damage per tick. With Valor that will be effectively cut in half 22-27pts of damage per tick. Probably around 100 points of damage total. Not sure but I will verify when I get home.

Does not look too huge to me.

Lol. For a company about to get decimated by new game releases this is the exact behavior that only ensures the games demise. Disguting if you think about it. It makes even less sense considering rogue sabs have more AOE damage but at range. The difference is the warrior actually has to get into melee range to use the ability which means they TAKE more damage to apply the AOE the other classes. Lower tier garbage for a dieing game.

Let me make simple for you Trion:

1) Warrior melee AOE as high as Rogue Sab AOE.
2). Warrior AOE is melee.
3). Rogue Sab AOE is ranged.
4). Warriors take considerably more damage because they are in melee.
5). Rogue sabs take less damage because at ranged.
6). Due to the fact the damage is the same then warriors need the heal because they are surrounded by tons of people killing them.
7). Why lowere the damage of a melee based AOE when it dies the sane damage as ranged AOE.

Reminds me of warhammer. Illogical changes, overpowered classes like rogues and mages, balance being destroyed by a lack if applying logic and a sever jack of respect for the player base.

Honestly, keep up garbage like this and NO will be left playing Rift.


Just pathetic.

Except you forget that warrior AoE is "more instant" than Sabo AoE.

Sabo -> "hey give me a few seconds of dealing 0 damage to you to load up my charges..."
*charge*
*charge*
*charge*
"fml that target just died! new target"
*charge*
*charge*
*charge*
*charge*
*charge*
*charges explode*
"yeah! now to wait more seconds for damage to occur over time"

Or you know, while you're placing charges, your target can either los you, or runs away from the rest of the group before any damage is actually done.

And here come the bad warriors like Majorin, to cleanse the forums with their tears

Dear Warriors
Please check all of the following you want at the same time

[] Best Damage Mitigation
[] Highest Base Health
[] Most Gap Closers
[] Best AoE
[] Best one on one
[] Best Healing Reduction debuff
[] Highest Armor
[] Range
[] Mele



*spoiler*
(you shouldnt get them all)

This nerf literally does nothing to hurt 38rb/28champ. It only hurts the warrior solo farm spec, which already was nerfed in 1.8 despite already being behind clerics in terms of grinding speed.

ET should be a bunch of small hits -

It was. Which was why I never felt I saw anything absurd. Based on logs it didn't even feel like it was procing a *ton*, or the numbers didn't seen frequent enough to do what they did to me. Nonetheless, my maths are wrong and obvious the storm and all those procs were more rapid than I thought/recall.

Lies. You want 'challenging' and 'balanced' PvP, as long as you're on top and every other class that stood a chance gets nerfed into the ground.

I told every warrior that Trion would be looking at them next. Consider yourself lucky and blessed that they didn't reduce your damage output by 40%.

Unlike you, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

I am going to laugh when Rogues get nerfed next . Lol talking to a friend and we are laughing at the nerf. Not like warriors were leading the killing blows and damage category. It is pretty funny really. Warriors got nerfed while you have rogue sabs with more damage and getting over s million damage in Port Scions. Lolololololololololol.

Omg... It is to sad to be true yet funny notheless.

I am going to laugh when Rogues get nerfed next . Balance is not a baddie standing in one place ( a rogue) and spamming attacks at 35 meters.

No. You told us you were leaving...respectfully.

No. You told us you were leaving...respectfully.

Yeah, the OP exemplifies the usual approach to PvP balance by players like him: "If my class (or my current FotM I rolled a month ago because it was OP then) is not > all then it's WRONG and <company> sucks and <game> is dying. I'm going to <new game that will be 20x better!!!!111eleventy!"

All I can say is have fun with GW2. I won't miss another PvPer whining because they can't always win.

Done about 10 matches so far since servers came up. So far it doesn't really seemed to have changed much. Sure it hits for slightly less damage but overall it doesn't appear to have impacted my spec (38rb/28ch).

I don't solo in this spec, but I can see it hurting the viability of the 38/28 PVE spec, as it was already somewhat behind the other choices. Really I think this change has nerfed the wrong audience.
