have your say here, although many threads have already hashed this one out :smiley:

my vote is YES! Nerf them Nerf them Nerf them! and when you’ve done that, Nerf them again!

No.

GA just became the most popular scapegoat. I think Warhammer’s Path of Destiny causes way more problems right now. You think you died because of the GA, instead of the perma-stagger that forced you to let them wail on you without being able to dodge the slow GA swings.

this may be true, hard to say

but i can also think of many times a high gs GA player will use whatever skill they have that yanks your character to them and slices you to shred in the blink of an eye (before you can really do anything to react).

for reference, I am a light armor healer. Everybody tells me to go heavy but I just refuse.

Only thing getting nerfed in this game is the playerbase.
Especially with the great announcement of no server merges xD

I’d rather see AGS’ metrics on this before taking a firm stance.

Dodge.

only the lunge on leftclick should be nerfed, which is a ridiculous no-cd gap closer and also an I-frame for ranged attacks somehow

The lunge needs to be completely removed. The Great Axe abilities + bloodlust already do enough in letting the Great Axe stick to someone.

I feel threads asking for stuff to be nerfed should be shut down or at least merged

Dodging is pointless when the Great Axe gets an unlimited lunge the same distance a light roll is. Ironic though that a Great Axe player even knows there’s a dodge button considering I’ve never seen one use it.

Yes.

Reduce the lunge range, and we will be gucci i think

That sounds like you panic’d and used your escapes poorly… I’ve fought people who know how to play their weapons/class and i don’t believe the GA needs a nerf.

Sounds like you’re running into poor players… A melee needs to know how to dodge if they want to live.

Maybe 15% nerf on light attack lunge range otherwise its fine… Dodging is key.

Yes, dodging is key. I do it all the time after they jerk your character to their melee range. You can dodge but you’re already half dead by then. They usually sprint at you after the dodge and finish you off anyway. I mean, I sometimes get away from them but it’s rare. Some other poster said you can counter this with ice gauntlet. Please.

It’s not just me - this is something a TON of people notice and complain about.

I’m gonna try to use void gauntlet scream on them. Maybe I’ll get lucky. But it all happens so fast that the time it takes to even switch to your secondary weapon is too long. You’re already damn near dead if not actually dead by then.

No.

They’re pretty shit in basically every aspect except for the very specific scenario when there are multiple people tightly clumped together. That’s it’s only strong point.

The only thing I would say that deserves getting nerfed is the lunge on basic attacks. That’s it.

I would be OK with that - then I could at least escape 50% of the time (as a light armor healer). As it is, I’m dead 99% of the time.

Edit: I think I take that comment back. Nerf the BASIC attack only? Please. That won’t change much.
