It takes minimal understanding of healing to come to this conclusion. So I am astounded the developers thought it was okay to nerf LE. DE should have been given a cast time reduction to replace that stupid -5 mana use perk in a game where best tier mana potions are going for like 0.50 and people have hundreds of them in their pockets.
Reduce DE mana use by 5. Put the chain heal as 1st and 2nd upgrades with a instant cast perk to put it in line with LE on the 3rd upgrade perk. Look at my post history I suggested this months ago. Ignored. This would give people more options instead of just destroying one skill to put another at the top as the only ‘usable’ option. It’s pretty bad balancing imo and it’s driven by listening to players that don’t understand the game.
Ah so you’re at least partially responsible for the terrible design changes then? Let’s see, nerfing healers when they didn’t have healing set bonuses to begin with. Nerfing everything on a baseline by 20% on top of this. Nerfing Blessed, nerfing light attack heals, nerfing LE scaling, completely invalidating heavy armor as a play style, destroying LE’s validity as a counter to how bursty this game is. Whatever you’re so proud of lobbying for, don’t be. The game is in its worst state right now and only looks to get worse. And you’re all for it. All because you can’t fucking CC properly. Don’t even get me started on the fact that these healing nerfs were brought about when Resilience was giving global damage reduction and the devs were ignorant of this when the nerfs hit.
Just because they cowtail to an overly vocal minority that spends 6 months on the forums lobbying to kill off an entire role’s viability does not mean you are ‘right’. They’re victims of confirmation bias and I’m here to set the record straight.
Can you tell me how getting 100-0 burst in light gear as healer is fun? Can you tell me how less options is fun? As it stands from next patch onwards all you’ll be able to do is triple spam AOE into crowds and run away with rapier + light rolls all day. It’s boring. You’ve gone ahead and taken away my ability to be in the thick of fights and assist my DPS with something other than running away. Congratulations. Net gain of boring. Less options /=/ more fun.
Makes sense. You don’t care for wars. So you don’t care that healers are being killed off in the sense that we won’t be able to sustain any more than one player bursting onto a target. You don’t care that people regularly get piled on by 5+ players in wars and focused down. You don’t care whether healers are at all useful in that situation. Why care to focus down healers at all? Why add any sort of depth to the strategy or combat going on when you can just burst down whoever the fuck you feel like because the healer cannot keep them alive anyway? You’re reducing this game to a mindless LMB fest where healing is just background noise. This will kill the game.
I don’t believe your opinion has weight because you don’t even seem to participate in wars given you’re trying to shoo it away as though it’s not only PVP content a guild can participate in together in a meaningful way. This is on you.
I like the way you quote skills as if a heavy healer with an actually relevant secondary assisting their team with kills wasn’t immeasurably more useful and skillful than someone indefinitely light rolling with a rapier and pumping sacred ground, beacon and orb into the biggest crowd on their screen and mindlessly lmbing to pad healing. News flash for you. Light healing was laughed off long ago back in October on any server that had competitive wars.
Here you go. February. Three staggered DPS players can confidently burst down 200 CON heavy players with max onyx, fortification. If not for the peel from my DPS player I was dead. And you want to put us into a meta where I’m wearing light and moments like this can never happen again. In case you have trouble spotting how low I drop in the space of a 5 second CC chain…
How do you imagine anyone is going to heal when those Light Embraces get indefinitely staggered? It’s also giving me a giggle here just thinking they’re finally giving healers keybinds for party members in the same patch they’re making single target healing irrelevant.
I always find war videos hilarious because the posters obviously don’t know what is going on and still post it even though it disproves their own points.
From the very start of the video, you do literally nothing while watching the guy walk up to you, and you only move, not even a dodge, after the grav well is in the air. You were staggered by an arrow during the GW pull by the archer on the left of the screen. You got hit with three light attacks and blocked one of them as the only defensive play so far. Pop an oakflesh after the block. Then a rain of arrows and another grave well roots you. You were then rended by shockwave, and some how immediately cast sacred ground afterwards. Your team mate walks over, and you get the beacon healing. You were then pushed out of the circle by the spear player and hit with the second grav well explosion outside of the circle. The spear player is constantly attacking you. You casted LE just after getting hit with the first wrecking ball, which has armor pen, without getting knocked down, and then you were hit with the second wrecking ball. You then got the free anti-CC dodge light roll with a heavy build. Finally, you ended the vid by wasting a health potion.
You lived vs a whole team worth of cooldowns with just an oakflesh, sacred ground for one healing tick of 551 and at best 3 spear attacks and one poison tick, one tick of beacon healing for ~600, and a LE while you should have been knocked down healing for 6,246 health.
There is zero skill involved in pressing one oakflesh, using two skills one of which you were pushed out of, and getting the free dodge in 5 seconds. The single block saved 477 damage after the oakflesh which you popped late anyway. You didn’t even dodge till the free light roll. You didn’t need your second weapon.
I guess the bow skills just did not happen, and the clearly visible enemy healer spamming autos helping you by removing stuns also does not exist. Its a full 5 man team focusing you, and none of them were staggered as you can see the grit visuals and them still moving/using abilities.
You were rended by shockwave and outside of the circle and still mitigate 72% of their damage. 4 players worth of damage and a healer did not kill you when you just pressed 3 buttons after letting yourself get caught out.
Your teammate is just LMB spamming.
But lets get back to the topic.
AGS does not read my posts, and I recently came back after quitting for elden ring. The forum was mostly and still is healers defending their broken interactions since the game came out. AGS obviously ran out of excuses to not play pvp when they were forced to test 3v3s and clearly saw the same issue we were pointing out 6+ months ago.
Back to the “you’re bad” argument when you have not seen me play the game?
How about other players fun? Healers literally do nothing until they get cced as seen in your video. Do you think getting ignored till you blow your long cooldown skills is fun? Dodging CC isn’t even that hard, but is it too much for you?
This is known as strategy and team work, but you should still be able to counter that with an instant cast 6k heal? Should the bow player in your back line scouting for bum healers like yourself be literally worthless because you think 6k+ instant heals and 72% mitigation is balanced?
Glad to know you play like a bum in a war and still have this much of an ego.
Just admit you are terrible at the game and move on. From the video you are so proud of, you probably don’t have the skill to play light anyway.
Just a clown fluffing up a post by trying to describe every last detail in a video as if that by itself is some damning criticism. You’re not making any points. Mind making some?
SO UHHHM HERE YOU TAKE DAMAGE, AND THEN HERE YOU TAKE DAMAGE TOO, AND THEN YOU HEAL YOURSELF WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Yeah, and?
Just took a look at your post history. Makes a lot of sense now why you want every last healer in light. Taken out of a thread where you’re coping about SS + BB not being broken.
This is your vested interest. Getting more braindead one shot combos. You don’t even play wars and you’re trying to be elitist to me when all you do is run around shield bashing people into one shots? Fuck off dude rofl
This is a video game forum not a schizophrenia self help exercise. You posted the exact reason LE is getting nerfed and acted like its the gold standard of New World Gameplay. Its sad to see you got destroyed so badly you are going through my post history. You could not even find one thing in my oversized post to nitpick about.
How do you outright lie about this and then take a screenshot instead of linking the post?
You could not even find one thing in my oversized post to nitpick about.
You proceeded to ignore any of my points I was making then went on a deep dive on the video I posted about every last detail as though the sequence of events is some indication I’m bad. You’re reaching on absurd levels.
You didn’t ‘destroy’ anyone. Imagine if I get a hold of footage of some basic gameplay of yours in a war (which we know there’s none of) and proceeded to drum up about 1000 words describing that clip for you while ignoring everything you said in the prior post. That’s exactly what you’ve done. Try and convince yourself all you like, you’re just cranking that clown dial upto 11.
It’s really hilarious to see you posting shit like this
and then trying to tell people how much LE needs to get nerfed because god forbid someone might get to heal themselves Guess healers aren’t on that agenda of yours. Because you seem hell bent on assuring that shit has a cast time, and is susceptible to the stagger locks you complain about.
and then take a screenshot instead of linking the post?
You can’t edit a screenshot of your post after the fact.
I did after the video because the video was so bad. The video proves you are terrible at the game, and you only lived because the almost instant cast 6k heal and tank gear.
I am not posting highlight videos like I’m some kind of god healer by doing almost nothing. I don’t have a mental disability and my words are good enough.
I guess health potions, regeneration potions, food recovery, and the aoe heals you already casted are not good enough? You would have still lived in your video if health potions had grit so it could be the same as LE.
That post isn’t even in a thread about BB or even supports BB you schizo.
It doesn’t prove anything of the sort. What the fuck do you think should be done differently here, exactly? You realise I’m playing alongside my DPS, yes? So what’s the big alternative here. Get chased for 30 seconds while you pull off your sick solo plays ‘distracting the healer’ and getting your ‘true victory’? You literally just want to sit here and have the scenario play out where I’m running around like a bitch for 30 seconds while the rest of my team dies. I manage to survive. And you’re mad about that. It’s nothing to do with being ‘bad’. I didn’t misplay there in any sense. I got gone on by someone with an AOE root that heavy can’t juke. Just nonsensical garbage coming out of your mouth to try gaslight because you’re pissed you can’t just 100-0 any healer you feel like. I took adequate preparation to sustain through that burst, and you’re mad. And where are you getting this 72% mitigation from? Magic numbers? More fluff!
I am not posting highlight videos like I’m some kind of god healer by doing almost nothing.
You’re the one with a chip on his shoulder trying to claim I was saying I was a ‘god healer’. Your words. This is standard gameplay. And I was using the video to complement what I was saying. And your entire diatribe is just ‘I’m not happy you survived, you’re bad because you pressed button’. How fucking childish can you get?
I don’t have a mental disability and my words are good enough.
Okay so you don’t actually go to wars and have no evidence you’re any good at PVP and we’re supposed to just trust your authority on this one because…reasons. Are you sure you don’t have a mental disability?
I guess health potions, regeneration potions, food recovery, and the aoe heals you already casted are not good enough?
All things that other people have and don’t require gimping damage by 75% to achieve. They even get to sit inside a sacred ground and pop all of this shit and it’s just as good as if a healer was inside doing the same. What’s the point here, exactly? My weapon should be completely ineffective upto the point I can’t even sustain against the burst of one player just because potions are an alternative?
You would have still lived in your video if health potions had grit so it could be the same as LE.
You’re just strawmanning and coming up with other shit now. Hypotheticals. “If the game worked differently in my image that fight would’ve played out differently”. And you call me a schizo? Lmfao.
That post isn’t even in a thread about BB or even supports BB you schizo.
No but it is an insight into your line of thought and that’s valuable to bring to the table. I guess you don’t want people seeing you’re just biased. You want healers to have to fuck off and be chased for 30s so the rest of your team can mop them up. You don’t like the idea of a healer being tanky enough to survive your initiation (just BARELY) and quickly refocus his attention to healing his team mates after he survives. I bet if you got your hands on WoW you’d outright remove Paladins. I play heavy so I can run VG/WH and assist my team with getting kills. This is objectively a more impactful, and skillful play style than chucking triple AOE into the crowd and mindlessly LMB spamming only to fleche away with a rapier at the first sign of danger.
Go on. Tell everyone in the class you think impactful heavy healers using an actually useful secondary is bad. You’re only short of it you malding prick.
The schizo even DM me. I can see why AGS does not post reasons when illiterate people think not interacting with the game other than pressing one button every few seconds in a war is top level gameplay.
Post a video of you in a war. If you’re as much of an authority as you want to claim to be
my words are good enough.
then surely you’ve recorded even a single instance of you in a war to analyse and improve from. Surely.
You aren’t just one of these people who can give and can’t take, right? Are you sensitive that I might find a single flaw in your clips? I’m waiting. You’re a clown until you start providing videos of your own. Nice one dodging the last post I made about asking you for war clips by the way. ‘Expertly’ done.
other than pressing one button every few seconds in a war is top level gameplay.
Reductionist nonsense. You only ‘press a button every few seconds’ on literally every weapon in the game. Really hope for your sake this is some really dedicated trolling because that is such a reach you could be on the Fanastic Four.
300 str 50 dex 100 con light andy with no perks running around with clear out hard griefing his own team is complaining he can’t kill healers solo. Just bow out.
Schizo is posting about a 6 month old posts about open world 1v1 asking for a clear out buff. Somehow it turned into me having no weapon perks, instead of just plague perks that have not released at the time, and being in a team fight.
Imagine getting so mad you spend hours going through other peoples post history and still lying.
You’re actively pushing healers away from your melee range and complaining they’ve got the space to heal themselves. You wanna bring up that ‘mental disability’ comment again?
Imagine getting so mad
Imagine getting so mad you spend hours over analysing someones 20 second clip of a war to state matter of fact things as if they mean anything instead of actually addressing any points made. You’re such a clown lmao.
Could you check my posts for me? I remember the new perk weapons being 50k on the market at that time.
I was testing clear out to displace people off sacred ground. Why else would this skill exist?
I barely post and you guys are still somehow mad months later.
You went through my entire post history for the last 6 months and were too mad to see that I did not post for months?
I’ll spell it out for you. It gives you a fortify + haste buff for using it. It’s a defensive option. You are literally catapulting healers to safety out of you and your team’s melee range.
