IG isn’t balanced mate period, theres a reason why all mage users not just VG users use them, Ice spike alone has been marked that its damage is higher than it was intended also, and its subsequently getting a nerf its already in ptr changes.
VG is worse because it hasnt had any actual nerfs and a increas in cooldown is hardly a nerf on it when it still has that instantaneous cast time and 3 second root and the voideblade that hits like a truck, it needs severe balancing, every OPR im doing its legit LS/VG or FS/VG or FS/IG OR VG/IG, neither are balanced at the moment very well and it will most definitely make people quit anything PvP related or the game as a whole if it isnt balanced.
Just roll hey? not everyone runs light armour friend, there is an issue with its instant cast time of abilities and how it has a 3 second root more than enough time for all his friends with hammers and axes and everything else to destroy you while you cant do anything to evade.
Suggestion:
Just make it 3 weapons game. Life,AXE,HAMMER, 3 Skills = 3 weapons.
Who even cares anymore when player base is dead.
in 2 days my server went to 90 players weekend PEAK. tell me more about FIRE|VOID|ICE Broken. love to see it
they you just sucks i guess i have been getting a very good K/D in most opr matches as a melee player IG is fine with the upcomming nerf only void gaunt is OP
It has 2s root, 3s only if you are under 50% HP. Scream is almost melee ranged and it is being nerfed. Other friends killing you in roots? Wow, what a problem. You are definitely not killed by multiple people after hammer CC, gravwell (which is ranged!), spear cc etc. It doesn’t matter what kind of CC you get, if you are CCd with multiple people on you you are dead anyway.
If they remove the dodgeblock from ice shower yes it will be considered balanced. You get rooted where you can easily use heavy from LMB which is another root. I think there shouldnt even exist a mechanic as dodgeblock in pvp
I know you are being sarcastic but this statement is actually true tho? Hammer and spear CC breaks on damage so you can just roll out, unlike the VG root. For the grav well you can use movement ability to get out.
Feel free to disagree, but I think roots are the biggest problem. Aside from ice spike doing a abnormal amount of damage(this is getting fixed) I can deal with everything about IG and VG except the roots.
I think there should be like a 5 second immunity to them after being hit by one or break in damage like stuns do. This shouldn’t effect their viability in a 1 v 1, but would feel better when you are outnumbered.
Instant cast and root for me is the problem for me, no other ability has that
60% people in opr play with VG, it is like IG/VG, LS/VG, FS/VG even tanks and dps now play with VG as second weapon, so there must be a reason. VG should be nerfed, also Ice shower, if anyone get in there is no chance to survive, everyone see it and going to kill you.
I really dont like the devs attitude. Its like Blizzard “We KNOW what YOU want better than you do yourself!”
Most players ask for VG scream nerf to have some windup or signaling before cast since it is such strong ability to give opponent a chance to evade.
Devs nerf some other random VG skill noone ever mentioned and increase CD slightly on scream…
GA users ask for buff in lunge because you cant stick to target anymore…Devs nerf grav well…then buff it with a 1sec root… Why touch it in the first place? Noone asked for this? I rather have a weapon that can hit stuff than make it a 1 skill wonder (that doesnt solve why GA is used in wars but rather make it a 1 skill wonder in wars…).
Yes balance. A word unknown to the MMORPG genre.
Imagine a weapon ( Without buff food now) where you go 300 Dex and 150 consti and you deal no damage at all forcing you to go 300 Dex 150 Int permanently to have on par damage with the other weapons out. Some KEKWs come and say op op while wearing gray armor and getting 2 tapped by it while a decently geared light armor user has to take 7-10 hits to be taken down.
Literaly nobody playing it at all in PvE in PvP its playerbase can be count on 10 fingers on my server.
Welcome to Musket bois
musket glass cannon is very OP ofc a musket user should be death in 2-4hits they can shoot from the other side of the map lol doing insane damg they dont really contribute alot in opr since they dont hold points/cap bases etc but ya when i used to play musket had around 10 KDR on average in opr
So basically you are saying musket is just longranged weapon and shouldnt ever be considered to come to close combat making it useless in every PvP content in the game.
Its just absurd that there is one single viable build that forces you to stay on range where you do well hope that at least someones a moron enough to wear light armor with bad perks so you can actually deal damage to him.
LOL you want musket to be able to do close combat ?? XD maby try picking up another weap then how is musket not balanced when you can get 10 kdr easy your one of those players who never wants to die
Sorry I had to stop laughing before I could post. Even with a 600 musket (300D/150I/gem) unless you are hitting light armor everyone else can just ignore you.
All your kills are if you are lucky enough to get someone that is already close to dead.
The only times you see an OP musket was when the over 600 ones started rolling out, more so lately the last few weeks there are a few players with very high score musket that hit like a truck. But guess what? That’s true for all the weapons and gear that is 625. The scaling is way out of whack.
No. All I want for the musket is having viable damage from pure DEX and not forcing you to go for the 150 INT perk. I just dont get it you people think with your schlonk or something?
I have hardtried musket for 500 hours with rapier got bored of it tried a lot of different weapons the weapon just doesnt work without rapier itself because you HAVE TO GO Dex int which means only rapier is allowed.
Im running now Musket / Spear which is acceptable but due to the squishy build you have to run you have bad escape options…
All those people who say Musket is OP or etc I feel like they have never played musket or are just on a PvE server with gray geared people or whatever smh.
Edit: If you measure on how many steals you can get thats not what u call a good musket player.
Try how many times you can get critical reload in PvP.
By the time you get out of cc you are outnumbered already and you will die no matter what you do. Unless you play rapier ofc. But if you play rapier you won´t be killed even with roots since you can easily riposte.
Complaining about roots because “VG roots you and 5 other people will smash you” is absolutely nonsense, any CC will serve the same purpose if you are chased by 5 people.
On PTR gravity well gets 1s root too.
almost none of me kills are light armor since almost nobody uses it mostly medium armor you can 4-5 shot ppl in medium armor with shooter stance
