I feel like any form of slows is going to be the new meta if the shorter dodge change goes through, which is not really an improvement over what we’re already doing to people.
Screw the actual CC, just apply the 4 second slow with your hammer and watch them do tiny little rolls trying to escape the next hit. Ice mages wont even bother with trying to heavy attack to root you, you’ll be slowed and it will be enough for you to get piled on.
It’s just a different way to feel bad about having no control over your character in the midst of combat.
But this change isn’t doing it. People are still kiting on the PTR because this only slowed down combat. It did not increase combat uptime.
Get rid of the stamina nerf it isn’t having the result desired.
Melee needs added tracking and it actually needs to work. Nothing is more frustrating than being on top of someone with an ability or a melee attack and it misses simply because they pressed W.
If you can figure out a way to fix combat so that someone who isn’t in the dodge animation can be hit.,that would solve so many problems.
Nobody is asking for combat to be slowed down. People want to actually be able to hit with more than 50% of attacks.
IMO is stupid that AGS only listens to players for weapon balancing. They need to hire or outsource the game to HIGHLY EXPERIENCED game developers to do a full rework on balancing in the game, and remove this ridiculous rng/grind fest! It is not fun and needs to change, and people won’t come back until balancing is fixed. Once it is fixed, and once more casual players have a chance at being competitive and ranked mode is in the game then streamers will come into the game and it will start trending and people will want to play. It is impossible to convince people to come back into the game when it is a massive rng/grind fest.
This patch definitely make bruiser medium or heavy players even worst playing against a dex bow or range player, have you guys checked bow poison damage 260 per tick holy, the only reason dex or range people still are super strong is because of rapier this weapon shouldn’t exist in this game, ags nerfing gravity well and nerfing cc made dex players even better but well this is what people wanted it, really nice to see this oprs full of range people you can put on rapier and have more sustain and mobility than any other weapon in the game really cringe, another weapon which wasn’t touch was ss right now is the best one shot cc weapon, is been always, but yeah they nerfed bb and didn’t touch the main issue here ss, now you see people running ss/wh lmao
