When you take negligible damage and the little bit you do take is immediately healed, it doesn’t matter how little damage you’re doing in comparison to a dps… because you’ll always have a net positive damage output, whereas they will never have a net positive damage dealt to you. That’s the issue. You can still pump out damage while your heals are on cooldown and swap to your secondary weapon to deal damage, and won’t be killed in that downtime… because heavy armor is busted in combination with LS and CON stacking. All you gotta be able to do is not die in that cooldown time, and you will never lose… but you’ll slowly whittle down your opponent and eventually win, assuming neither of you use pots or run.
I truly loathe the fact that every day salty people who died to a life staff come on the forums claiming its massively OP and express their desire to relegate life staff users to bitch boy in the back that’s only purpose is to heal their shattered ego by nerfing life staff so they can feel better about themselves when the day comes they can finally kill one because it’s been nerfed into oblivion.
It’s clear as day though bud. it needs balanced. it’s OP that a single healer in heavy armor can out heal 4 people beating on him at once lol that’s just silly… it’s OP period
It’s not about being killed by a life staff user. it’s the fact you’re NOT killing them lol
So what your really all saying then is you all got your asses kicked by a con heavy focus build.

it’s sad when I go life staff and heavy armor, I feel like a corn ball. I’ve outhealed 3 people beating on me. one of them pulled me our of SG but it’s so easy to just walk right back into it… that and with heal/regen pots, I don’t die…
It’s cheese… and unbalanced. it’s capable of healing raid content except in PvP where you’re not dealing Raid Boss damage lol
If that’s your honest take, you must be one of these abusers and you’re advocating against change because you can’t do shit else in pvp except for the most overpowered meta builds that require no skill.

my main build is GH and S/Shield bud…Light armor as well…
Like I said, it’s cheese, so I stopped using it. not trying to argue about it. it is what it is.
Yall can nerd rage for an unbalanced feature to stay in the game… lol I don’t care. my mind is set on LS atm. IG too.
I sure can dodge back and forth in a healing circle, it’s obviously one of my 3 moves as a life staff user and where’s my splash damage and my hella OP aoe damage moves that 5 people are getting murdered by this. Oh right those don’t exist cuz life staff just heals, that’s it bud just heals, we don’t get 3 moves that do any type of OP damage. In fact we do horrible damage even if 300+ stat’d in focus. So really explain to me how 5 people are getting hardcore owned by someone continuously left clicking because that’s all we got.
Yes, please, nerf the life staff to the ground and then cry about lack of healers. Looking forward to that.

My honest take on LS is simple… I don’t think having heavy armor should net you full benefit from spell use. or nerf the regen/growth/value of SG per tick. I believe you should be able to keep yourself up decently vs 1 DPS on you, but 2? 3? hell no. that’s cheesy for the Cooldown timers. you just don’t die by the time you can heal up again.
kids… yall too dense and lack critical thinking regarding balance lol

See that was where your wrong, if the only thing a life staff can do is stay alive from heale, they better be pretty damn good at it cuz they have nothing else.
gear matters, level is deceptive. many mid to high levels aren’t geared that well, but a level 60 with good gear/build will destroy

You mean like any 60 with good gear facing some level 50 with level 35 gear still on.

you’re incorrect, but that’s OK.

So in other words I need to change my entire build from dex to str/const and play hammer just to beat life staff abusers?

They didn’t remove scaling lol. They just toned it down some. Somone having 13 levels on you can mean almost for sure death but you can still win maybe. I have killed 60’s at in the level range of 49-55 so far. Never caught them lower then 49 and honestly they were not great players
Yes.
Lots of player choice here.
