That’s what happens when gear is more important the skill.
People delude themselves into think this is a skill-based combat system, and then the gear-based advantages grind them into the ground.

You must be high if you think FT is not strong.
I agree that FS is pretty good rn, but this is a 2 weapon class game. FS with IG is a majorly strong combo at OPR rn. FT is obnoxiously strong since it doesn’t have downtime and you can just cheese to use it. I usually bottom frag at OPRs but when I used it I was at top 15 - 20s.
Firestaff is busted right now, anybody who says otherwise is playing it. The new weapon perks on top of fireball perk on weapon on top of all the good perk changes and buffs. Lets not forget about the free full stamina refresh charge attack or just the huge amount of burst it can do. Its over the top.
Bow is strong but its only strong because it can kite forever with rapier. I think bow spear is balanced, its not hit scan you can actually dodge the projectiles in air.
Really not seeing bow being op… in fact I hate when they are on my team in opr, do almost nothing lol
If you don’t bring proof to validate your argument on an open forum you are just a sad troll.
Show us your gear and clips of you fighting because I can promise you it’s not the FS that’s the problem.
There is a healthy amount of counter player against the FS at the moment. You are just bad.
I assume you have no resil, no shirking fort, run 100 con and are under GS600 so your getting dumped on by average gear 625 mages.

I’m going to snip this to post whenever someone tries the tell the bold faced lie. That New World is a skill-based game. Thank you!
The only thing op these days is complaining on the forums…

I was in a team with a bb/ig that managed to azoth blast a heavy armor player for half of his hp. The bb player mentioned he had BIS gear. I have to ask, what BIS gear has to with people being able to take half hp from a tank with one skill…
I swear every patch you idiots keep calling for nerfs, just buff other shit or git gud.

With all the nerfs and buffs on the other side, the strongest weapons kinda switched now
But war meta is still the same because its not about damage. I wish AGS would understand that after almost 1 year and just buff the weapons that are behind instead of nerfing meta and buffing everything else.
This game will never be balanced because the gear disparity is crazy. One guy get hit for 8k another guy get hit for 800. That is too big of a range based on gear/buffs to be able to properly balance anything.

How do I get that?!
it is bugged now, when ur first initial hit crits ( the only hit of meteor shower that does crit )
and u have the skill " let it burn " it does refresh the empoweredment buff, for the whole burn duration ( which is way longer then the Meteor Shower Duration)
BUT and thats a big BUT if u have enough refreshing/refreshing Evasion and use Heavy Attacks, after the End of casting Meteor Shower
u can get the CD of the Skill up before the Buff Ends.
Which means, even without the BUG u still can have it permanent.
@Gray-Wolf be aware tho, if u have the Empowering Meteor Shower Perk on ur Weapon, u loose the Buff, as soon as u swap the Weapon.
If u have it on ur Armor, the Buff stays, after swapping Weapons ( works as intended btw… )
Fire Staff has ZERO CC, hits for LESS then a musket, a bow, a Blunderbuss, a spear or a hatchet which all HAVE CC.
Also the projectiles are SLOWER and harder to land and have shorter range than the range weapons that I mentioned above, also Fire ball has drop off.
In Conclusion, totally OP, plix nerf naw omgwft…

well what do u expect from heavy armor user, who wants to be immortal and strong … ^^
holly mother of dragons, that is sick and needs to be fixed.
PS meteor shower sux though, I will never use it, with or without perk.
to be immortal all he needs is light armor, a life staff and a rapier…
the Bug ye…
but like i said, even without the Bug u are able to have the 20% Empowered ( and honestly mage has nearly none…
clear casting if u dont got damaged for 3 sec > 5% empowered LUL
or Clear Mind > above 50% Mana u have 5% Empowered Lul…
oh and the Pyromania, when nearly dead ( below 50% hp ) u deal 15% more dmg.
btw below 50%, i am running… and dodging, not attacking xD
Like a cat running from water, I know exactly what you mean, especially with health pot on CD… >_<
