Rift Storm Adjustment

[Costs]

Skill? The top 5% destroys everything else. Bottom line.

If you want skill based pvp this is what you will get. You are going to be in the meat grinder not the other way around Is this what you want????

Lol. It's obvious you've gotten too used to gear based pvp.

I'm sorry, but most of us cannot see how bringing everyone on near equal stat levels would decrease balance. I mean, are you saying there are no godly players who have a gear advantage atm? lol

It must be that new math.

then your logic is flawed, making Rift Storm channeled means Atrius has to increase its damage to abilities with properties like Cornered Beast and Flurry also adding immune to CC's.You seriously don't want that,my cornered beast does 10.1k damage at 3 ap Rift Storm 4.9k.But Rift Storm is viable in PvP because its does elemental damage unlike Flurry and Cb.

Immune to CC's? I'm sorry, it may just be me but ... what channeled skill in ANY class is immune from CC? I would like to know so I can get it. lol

I think this guy is serious. This makes it even more hilarious.

What?

Hmmm, looks like it does take skill.

I hate it how people still get to channel even after I fear them : |

Ummm no it does not. I played all prior beta weekend. Currently there is no real skill.
Only 6 buttons max to mash. Any good PvPer have well more then 6 keybinds.
Range > Melee.
CC currently not a factor in any way shape or form,
Very OP specs out there.

Its only Beta, and can be fixed. But heck, this is only an opinion of mine. I'm no expert in GW2 at the current time.

BTW. Yes I will continue to play Rift, and play GW2 together. GW2 has no subscription, and even if it did, 12.99 / mth is what, 43 cents per day? If you can afford an extra .43 cents a day, well you shouldn't be playing computer games in the first place then.

Lol ... dunno what beta you were in.

My melee thief hit so hard AN is reducing it's damage (which I think is great).

If you're going to be on that stress test Monday I can show you what someone can do with all the utility/CC of some of the classes.

Agreed that's its not perfect ... but beta felt more balanced than Rift does now.

And there are reasons why (namely, things simplify when you're not dealing with so many souls and when you remove heals).

There were ways I was able to keep the thief at range, and what I had was a dead thief. I played a warrior last beta. I was under-impressed with their melee abilities vs their ranged abilities.

As for CC. I really did not notice it much at all being used in the beta except for lock down CCs used by the stealth classes. But that could be because a bunch of new people where just mashing what ever button they had and did not tweak their PvP build. To me, Solid CC is utilization of roots, stuns, silences, fears, mez, and to a lesser extent debuffing. And I stand with my original post. There was little to none of that going on at all during the weekend. But that can be a factor of ignorance vs mechanics.

Not hating on GW2. Just pointing out what I saw.

Clearly you don't fall into the "play it properly" category.

[Testercules]

plays it properly

plays it properly

Very nice!

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.

Ding ding.

People have this full-****** KILL TEH HEALARZ mindset, and then cry about getting dps'd down while they can't kill the cleric kiting them with stacked HoTs. That's why things like the warden nerf happen.

Target the squish. Kill the squish. Then kill the hard targets. You don't prioritize a tank with a pocket healer who pushes into you -- why do you try to prioritize a defensively-geared healer?

In COD I played on a team with three players who were ranked top five in the world every week Other teams were basically brought into a meat grinder. We would literally destroy them.

So I was ****ing Kate Perry in the *** right, and then Jean Luc Picard came and he said they nurfed warriors, so I flew down in my Tie Fighter to Trion (while Taylor Swift gives me blow Job) and I transform into a Megazord and high five the developers before receiving my Nobel Prize for having a 50meter ****.

Its not a huge nurf.
If you are destroyed by it you're ****.
You will have to press more than one button for your "teamwork".
No more spin2win for you.

I'm a little concerned about how this affects PvE. Would be pretty simple to make it something that only triggers - or rather, doesn't trigger - while "flagged," would it not?
