The weapon centers around regaining cooldown via critical hits. If you are able to dodge, stun, or just stay away from for any length of time while the blade is out the weapon is literally useless half the time. If they have 0 cd’s and insane healing and CC its because you’re allowing them to get CD resets by critting you. How do you not understand this?
You are trying to face tank a weapon thats literally designed to shred face tankers. But hey keep slamming your face against a wall. Im sure that helps.
I fight against any combination of weapon, its not the weapon types that can beat me its whether or not the player has half a brain. Those that stand inside oblivion while getting wailed on by voidblade typically dont win. And they aren’t supposed to. Those that know not to stand in the oblivion and can actually dodge do way better. And those smart enough to back off briefly while void blade wastes can usually kill me before my blade is back up.
Judging by your post I can tell which category you fall into.
Your an idiot if you stay inside oblivion. Once they are putting oblivion down, leave. Or if they scream, then put oblivion down, the root expires fast, leave.
A good vg will never lose against any melee dps player. If you lose with vg it’s because you’re trash. It doesn’t just center around crit cdr, it centers around healing, it centers around buffing, it centers around debuffing, it centers around cc’ing, it centers around almost everything rn and is very strong at all of those things. Btw I’m not saying a melee dps should win against a vg in oblivion, I’m saying that it’s entire kit is broken, it’s like the aphelios of league of legends.
So in order to win against a vg player. You are supposed to wait out their already short cd’s for them to make more distance to attack you from a far with ig or fs? You say im bashing my head against the wall while your weapon is topping every leaderboard?? Everybody knows what’s going on you just don’t want the same stuff to happen to vg as has happened to ga. Also running away from a vg is nearly impossible with their massive lunge range, even further than pre patch ga. And a snare that doesn’t break on damage. Also 1v1 shouldn’t be your own focus when balancing pvp. In wars rn vg is even more broken, with their debuffs stacking… I really didn’t want to respond to you because you are clearly never going to change your mind on vg, and will cry very hard when they finally nerf it, but apparently it puts a little deleted message when you delete stuff so here I am.
Brother i couldnt care less. Unlike you I will adapt. If the nerf comes and it renders the weapon useless ill use a different weapon. I switch regularly and have them all leveled. Ive explained countless times how to counter VG, and i can tell you as a VG user I am killed quite often.
If you cant get away from a weapon that literally has no movement capabilities then you shouldn’t be pvping. All it takes is ONE stun, one knock down and a few steps to be out of a heavy attack range. Something pretty much ANY weapon can do.
So a weapon that counters the most popular weapon combo (also hatchet and sword) isn’t a problem in your opinion? Also people are starting to adept and realize that vg is broken, I am seeing way more vg’s in wars rn. But yeah obviously you need a frontline which is usually ga wh.
I swapped to void gauntlet the day it came out just because it was a new weapon and i needed to level my int series of weapons. I kept it because i rolled a really good ring and weapon for it. Not because it was “meta”. I played it far before all these QQ posts came up. I used hatchet, Gaxe, hammer before VG came out, and before that Rapier and bow. As far as VG builds im using VG/Musket which im sure hardly no one here is using… so idk what you’re talking bout lol
Convenient time to swap, when all your weapons were getting nerfed. Totally not meta, also musket is not not meta. It only underperforms in wars. Which I’m guessing you have 0 experience with on a competitive level. You also said that you will switch weapons when they nerf vg which doesn’t just make you a “I play this weapon cuz i think its fun” player.
I find many of the weapons fun. I know thats hard for you to believe but it is true. I often will switch my secondary between rapier or IG as int depending on what I do and what the weaknesses are to what I fight.
Of course if a weapon is made useless I wont use it. It doesnt have to be top tier #1 either.
As far as wars and competitive ive been in a territory holding guild since our server opened, and only since last week did we lose windsward so im not sure what you mean there lol I war almost every day
So you agree strength weapons are useless since you swapped after the nerf? If you war a lot you should know vg is broken in wars, hence why you’re playing it probably.
Straight up lying here , mudding up the waters with misinformation. If you don’t have good gear and not do enough damage than it’s nobody’s else problem. All of the other replies here seem to suggest otherwise. The vg blade does far too much damage considering it can be used as both ranged and melee weapon. If vg was purely melee weapon then it still would would be far too over tuned in that state even. You just cast a root then use the blade to melt people, this is not engaging gameplay, the cast time of root needs to be increased and the duration of root needs to be lowered along with increasing the cd on ability as well. The damage on vg blade needs to be reduced by half, a vg player should never beat a pure melee player in melee combat.
You can’t dodge during petrifying scream, root disables dodging. Fleche and burnout will trigger but you won’t move… The only way is to block, but if the VG user knows how to break block by using a single heavy attack, u are dead.
I hope the fleche and burnout not working in petrifying scream effect is a bug. Players are starting to realize it and chain petrifying screams to perma-root targets.
I would say that majority of community doesn’t agree. That’s why most of ppl play now Dex builds VG is no longer OP when people learned how to run away from it.
