Seems like you are the one using 1% of your brain to actually read, and dps. Im playing every spec, got all faction set combo’s + 600 gs items for all classes. I can get killed 1v1 against certain dps that know what they are actually doing. AND I can kill heavy + ls players AS a DPS.
So like i stated in my previous message find me a life staff use with gear and 0 exp and he has no shot. Just learn your abilities, and the abilities of other weapons and you might get somewhere.
The fact that this thread got so big of just nothing but attacks points out that this will 100% life stuff will get another nerf but I didn’t need this thread to see that it’s obvious it will happen .
Life staff is definitely broken lol. It’s an S tier weapon atm. A very popular build rn with life staff is using great axe front bar with an amber gem and life staff back bar. Spec everything into con/focus and you still get dmg from the amber gem conversion.
The damage of that setup is not dangerous to the point that you have to respect it, but the true danger of that build is the fact that you literally cannot kill that person 1v1, but can die to that player from battle of attrition. A properly built great axe/life staff user can tank 5-6 players without breaking a sweat too.
Since most people pair life staff with other offensive weapons and use the amber gem conversion for dmg, a simple way to fix it would be to reduce the potency of that gem or remove it altogether. Healers shouldn’t be able to heal and do damage at the same time. It’s bad game design.
If you haven’t seen tanky paladin types as strong as this in other games, you must not have been gaming long.
Paladin type builds, Cleric type builds, Templar type builds, Death Knight type builds (oo damage and tanking!) they are a STAPLE in the MMORPG genre. You could probably google ‘healer tank nerf’ and come up with dozens of different games with the same ‘wah wah’ cry baby whines.
Gosh forbid this game brings in a Friar or Monk type of healer… omg they are wearing robes, and have agility and dexterity and they whack my … and heal and I cannot kill them …
Or wait, how about a healer that has to provide damage in order to heal…
I don’t give a f**k about WoW. If you want to play WoW. Go back and play your amazing WoW till the end of your miserable life loser. Just because WoW was the most popular MMORPG in the genre doesn’t mean you people get to decide what MMORPG trends are. Go back to wearing those clownishly looking armors licking up Lich King’s a*s all day.
The problem is we don’t know which factor is the real culprit for sure 100% because there is no hard data. Maybe, it;s the heavy armor, maybe it’s the staff, maybe it’s the bugged gem, maybe it’s just outright cheating. Since all those invincible guys are wearing heavy armors, people are asking for heavy armor nerfs. But except for those “Not OP git gud” guys, everybody else can see that there is something wrong with this heavy armor life staff combo. And only genuine testing will shut those people up.
must be a glitch or something just look at the healing numbers they are alot lower than all the damage numbers i will never outheal that even though i heal for alot more than that !
The other team has no healer … while you have several ppl all on you at once … this gameplay would have went very differently if the other team had heals too,
Here’s our testing result from a single streamer. Apparently Focus is bugged, and providing more stats then it should. Long story short, focus is overscaling. At least for healing. You wouldn’t know that because the life staff only display your damage, not your healing.
You only listed paladin, cleric, templar and death knight which are all from WoW other than the templar class.
What gaming experience? I’ve been gaming for 20 years. And I play all genres. If you are talking about old classics like Dungeons and Dragons, Neverwinter, Runescapes, Disciple Lineage, Everquest amd whatnot. No! I I never played them seriously and they are irrelevant. They are nothing like this game.
No matter which hybrid build you run there must always be some give and take relationship between your offense and defense capability. If you want to dps give up some of your armor. If you want to defend or heal give up some of your dps. You can’t simply be good at everything. And if Hybrid classes outperform pure dps, pure tank and pure healer, in everything, that game is broken no matter how much you try to argue otherwise.
I have 225 focus and a 520GS lifestaff and my weapon when looking into attributes, only does 700dmg. I’d like to know how that is OP?
I was in a war last night and players using Voidbent+hatchet+GA had no problem wiping me to dust.
Same applies with someone using a spear, or Gauntlet. Yup, that happens even when I’m using Life staff and heavy armour. (Edit) I also have 80 STR and 80CON in my attributes setup.
Maybe my setup is wrong and it should be 150 each? Will soon find out… But at same time with that much of a drop, healing power won’t be doing much at all anyways.
What’s happening here with the LS user in the video is, they are obviously running on some form of exploits.
Nothing to do with staff being broken.
