Don’t forget about the multiple Ice Storms that you have to run through to get to the door, only to have an Ice Shower waiting for you, leaving you rooted and unable to dodge. So that you can get easily hit with the follow-up heavy from the IGs to continue the root, along with all of the arrows hitting you.
Someone brought up the concept of ladders, which I really like. Or allow us to build actual siege weapons that can provide cover fire for a group entering the fort. The zerg v. zerg deathball smash can be fun for a time, but it would be nice to prioritize and encourage ingenuity and resourcefulness. I actually appreciate that they’ve made PvE such an important part of the game, because it can help to balance out the inconsistent matchmaking (or it can also really exacerbate it).
Wow, someone is pissy. If IG is “gutted” as you claim, it’s because it was so ridiculously OP beforehand. You’re right about being able to dodge after Ice Storm- that was my bad. I generally get hit with the Ice Shower slow, then the root from the Heavy, then I have to wait for the Ice Storm in the doorway to pass before I can go in. I see people playing IG a lot more than I see them play VG offensively. Entomb is just the “I don’t want to die” card that most players seem to need- just like Hatchet with Defy Death and basically everyhing in the Rapier kit.
All I ever see from VG is throwing down Oblivion, running into Clumps with Scream and occasionally tossing an orb. Maybe it’s different on your server, but to get all snippy and claim I don’t play the game because I got a fact wrong just means you might need to show someone on the doll where the mean internet hurt you.
