AGS talking about buffs, nerfs, and armor changes, but still nothing for the least played weapon type in the end game PVP wise. Since launch! Heavy SnS never gets played in wars cause it’s absolutely useless. No other weapon even comes close to shields lack of war use. Don’t care about 1v1 duels, that’s not PVP end game.
Just remove it at this point. Lol.
Or give us a Gunlancer type of ability, let me stomp the ground and shield other players in my group. Do something. Do anything at this point.
Yep also delete fire staff, rapier, sword, spear and more because they arent used in wars wars mainly need weapons with aoe abilities, cc and debuffs + buffs not standing still and holding right click with heavy sns lmfao. Tanks that just absorb damage in pvp are useless, not just in new world, in basically every game, deal with it
This is actually kinda true, recently i saw some yt vid where a guy was talking about balance changes hed like to see, and while talking about heavy armor needing buffs and “not being much tankier than light or medium” he had a clip playing where he easily won a 3v1 without moving around much by just hitting the enemies with greatsword heavies now try doing that in light or maybe even medium, youd just end up dying. Youd have to dodge around and kite
Didn’t they put out a stat that said that SNS was the most played weapon this year? No doubt the whole skitzo era had something to do with that but I can’t imagine that PvE made it the most played weapon lol
Im pretty sure the only time that they have nerfed heavy armor in the last year was when they gave heavy a 30% healing reduction. Which you should be happy about considering you think that healing is overtuned still?
Totally agree with how OP SnS is in 1v1 and 3v3, however like I stated in my post I’m talking about wars. I stated wars multiple times in my post. Try and stay on topic or feel free to go make your own post about non wars
Any “tank” in new world that is just standing around holding right click in any form of end game content is garbage.
Currently the only decent thing heavy SnS can do for their team is give them the non cancelable -30 damage reduction, but the circle is to small for it to be useful in large scale battles like wars.
If you think “tanks” don’t exist in other mmos. I’m going to have to assume you have never played any end game content in any other mmo. Lol.
Many things are useless in wars, wars are just aoe and debuff/buff spam, if a weapon doesnt have that then its bad for wars. If you want to support your teammates in a war then play a support not a tank, heavy armor players should be on point
I agree. Right now it’s all AOE spam on points and it’s been that way for almost 2 years. I’m not saying buff shield until it’s broken in wars. Just something since it is the least played and the role of shield tank is useless in wars.
If ALL weapon types were balanced around the supposed true pvp end game, wars. That mode would be more enjoyable for everyone. You would see more builds. Spamming ice showers is boring and take zero skill.
