In DAoC there were realm ranks for PvP, with these realm ranks, you earned realm points that could be spent on realm abilities, one of which being Purge, a 30 minute cooldown ability that removed all negative ailments. depending on the rank of purge you got, would shorten the cooldown but at a hefty cost of rps.
Play another weapon for 5 minutes. If that doesn’t change your mind then you’re a paid actor or you’re bot.
No one can be this dumb on purpose without a reason
I did, have, and do. I’d rather be a light armor IG cuck with Blunderbuss.
Why do GA players act like GW is only used in 1v1 with the opponent staring right at them 
in reality it’s the most spammed ability in PvP right now so you can’t just say dodge it. The fact that a huge percentage of the community is pointing out the obvious flaws shows how imbalanced it really is. Making adjustments to it would put GA on par with most other weapons, which you would see a major change in the meta if that ever happened. Those you have the most to gain from an imbalance will always defend it blindly I guess.
play war
get hit by 4 gravs
realize
the reason why it sucks it’s cause in war the only kill you do is on gravs and only on gravs. The entire meta revolves around 2 skills: shower and grav. “DUDe bUt iS so WeasY JUst DOdGe” i know many have such a little monkey brain and cannot realize there are other situations, maybe more important, than 1v1 outside ww, but try at least, to think how much one single ability impacts the meta
So your point is to nerf everything that solidifies a kill?
So you’d rather everyone dodge around endlessly while spamming pots and getting heals? You’d rather see a meta where you can’t kill anyone and everyone runs?
It’s not a GA problem, it’s a combat problem.
Nerfing everything to the ground is not how the game should be balanced.
And that’s the issue. Every other weapon is so trash in solidifying anything that people want Grav Well nerfed instead of other weapons buffed. This nerf culture nerfs anything useful in combat and makes literally everything useless.
To realize that Grav Well isn’t OP, it’s strong and other weapons need buffed. They’ve nerfed everything that was actually worth a fuck to where the only viable weapons are IG and GA. Do you see what’s happening here?
Do we need to against a GA user?
Good PvPers don’t have to because they understand. 
Keep telling yourself that.
Melees get GWell’d more than backline int and Dex users. I’m pretty sure someone who is melee range against other GAxes understands Grav well capabilities while using it a lot and escaping them a lot. It’s easy to escape. It’s easy to see coming and yes, you can argue chain GWells, but the same thing was said about VG root and every form of CC.
This is so true.
As a GA bruisers myself, I get caught in 2-4 Grav Wells a lot of times.
Let me tell you, get caught in 2 ice shower back to back is far more depressing.
It’s just a different perspective, most range int/dex users would never have a group of mages break their front line to cast 2-3-4 ice showers/scream on them.
The only thing they experience is probably grav well from bruisers who broke their front line first or flank them.
Bruisers get 2-3-4 roots on them all the time cuz light armor mages are not afraid of us anymore.
They know they can get in close drop ice shower/scream and light armor dodge roll and 1 movement ability will get them out unscathed from med/heavy bruisers 90% of the time
I am in favour of removing all roots from the game but light armor roll distance will also need adjusting if that happens.
Just my 2 cents
Idk why IG and melees are so defensive. Everyone knows roots are a huge problem and annoying, even if you run it yourself and get caught in them.
No one wants to see your builds die, we want to stop being rooted out of playing the game. And TBH, maelstrom blocking projectiles prevents any sort of punishment for performing a cheesy root combo.
In high player number, capture the point game modes you cant simply just dodge everything. Its really broken.
I dont think I saw 1 build without an Axe or IG on it today, unless it was healer. Even the musket had an IG. I mean come on… wake up and smell the roses.
The proof is right in front of our eyes just tell the devs to fix it. It will mean a lot more coming from the people abusing it. If youre still top tier and beat me without plastering me to the ground infinitely im okay with that.
Difference is do you die with a grav well and a few ballerinas spins?
My damage ranges on most bruisers between 300-1.5k.
Most people play a game to enjoy it, not play a minor bit part and be frustrated when the hero of the game (GA) comes.
100% accurate. Only noobs are crying about it.
Can you counter any of my posts in this thread with logical explanations?
Who
Any melee or IG player. Idk how you guys dont see that a high number of players running roots in a game is very oppresive. The build diversity is very low right now, everything centers around Axe and IG.
Every melee has an Axe, every mage has an IG, a lot of melees have an IG too, half the muskets have an IG too.
I think IG is worse but every weapon that contains a root is only contributing to the problem because they chain together.
This is my entire opposition on this.
Also this, once again.
