I kinda disagree here , there was a bunch of bruisers runing purp 2-perkers that could drop 1.2m+ dmg //20+ kills easily. Dex or assassin build are way less common in wars so you are WAY more into scrutiny and Need to perform well or will be replaced in a heartbeat. ( we talking about competitive wars here , if there is still some , didn’t got in a war since my 2-3months break , I only do mutation atm opr is really not fun. I think you overestimate how much people run ele aversion atm ( yea it will be really good next patch ) but bunch of people still sitting on their s.f. Like me with my 3 piece of gear s.f/freedom/resilient. Anyways we all speculating right now till PTR hit lives and we see by oursevles
An army diff is an army diff but getting the freedom and/or refreshing ontop of the resil/sf it makes a big difference. you can still pump 1.2m+ when you have the better army for sure as a singular person running 2 perks but if the whole main-ball of bruisers is 2 perks? You’re just gonna get diff’d. The other side, depending on if they added refreshing/freedom is gonna escape more and they’re gonna be able to capture on clumps more often. Individually? Not THAT much of a diff.
The gear gap vs skill gap isn’t anywhere near what it used to be, mainly because crafting was easier and BiS got cheaper but the principal still applies. Having a Gravity Well up every 8 second as opposed to every 15 seconds is massive on the large scale and the same goes for getting out of vines/scream fast enough. Freedom does make a difference.
Good players always gonna pump but when it comes to having ACTUAL BiS? It’s definitely more important on Bruisers than it is on any other class.
Attunement on a TS/RM GA? As opposed to Keen/TS/RM? Massive difference in damage numbers. Also, a 1.5m gold difference too. lmao. There’s a reason GA Craft mods were expensive. If you were anything short of BiS it meant your numbers suffered. If your numbers suffer, so does your content.
All you needed to be a good bow was Mortal Empowerment and a bow that is nowhere near as hard to craft as BiS GA and resil/Ele Aversion.
To argue price of craft mods is straw-man’s imo.
Every class have their crunch , DEx willl look for refreshing or RE to maximize dps / dmg too , both working same ways I think
GA craft mod are more expensive ONLy because theirs is WAY more GA rolled than anything else , it’s not more rare
I rolled a BiS bow in 10 rolls, meanwhile, I rolled 70 GA’s and still didn’t get BiS GA.
Rain of arrows/Pen Shot > Grav Well?
Bruisers won’t be looking for RE or refreshing as third , DEX will , you know how RoA do dmg on clumps ? You can drop it from 30sec to 17-18sec so basically double your dps on point fight. Bruisers will look for RM on GA it’s different setup
For dps RoA / Pen over GW miles away lol
RM is a requirement but with a good combo of RFE and RFW you can have a Grav Well up under 10 seconds, easy. RM + Refreshing perks = BiS and so is a 3-5 freedom bruiser. I know plenty of bruisers who have sets of both and most of them prefer refreshing perks over freedom.
I’m just saying that a bow user isn’t gonna drop 2m to get the refreshing perks where as a bruiser will because the up-time of Grav Well is way more useful than the uptime of Pen Shot when it comes to value.
Post-Patch? probably not, but currently? yes.
Pretty sure this is not an issue in PvP. Wallet warriors have been buying RMT since launch and they really don’t care.
Just too bad AGS isn’t making money from it. And they can’t because people would scream pay-to-win – when the game already is, illicitly.
At one point, Common Sense said the earth was flat. That is why Science was invented.
Common sense ≠ Religion,
I guess it would be possible for a believer to not be able to differenciate between the two.
Common sense is what lead to Greek philosophers to determine that the earth was “round” long before science could prove it.
Also science does not get invented, science gets discovered… a fairly wide spread missconception among believers.

Yeah there is definitely a lot of misinformation surrounding grit, 300 str, and wh/ga bruisers. The most vocal clearly didn’t know the build.
Comments went wild after the ptr pvp changes were pushed out earlier this month. Remember one guy saying GA is so easy doing the combo was easy free 4-6 kills every time. Damn I obviously didn’t get that memo.
Grit I feel was honestly over rated or the less informed attributed to much to it for what it actually did. It really only helped with not getting knocked down from wrecking ball in clumps. That was the single biggest threat I believe. Like you said it didn’t do anything for shockwave or cc.
GA/WH bruiser is one of the most predictable choreographed builds in the game. Slower attack speed with long “wind up” time giving away what was coming next. The people complaining hard on bruisers and grit I think we’re just people that lacked pvp skill and playing their own build. For some reason most complaining always seemed to be spear builds haha.

I think 300 str grit made all other melee builds non-viable, really.
Additionally, if 300 str grit isn’t a big deal and its over-rated what does it matter?

What common sense did they apply to determine that the earth was round? And how did they apply it?
Are you for real ? 
I think they teach you in like 1st or 2nd grade in school. But in case ur not trolling.
If earth was flat you would see the highest mountains from anywhere.
The horizont line together with the height of things make it fairly easy to understand we are on a spherical/oval object.
More wisdom from the wise. haha
That is my question for you.
Because you just used MATH and SCIENCE to prove the earth is round. Not common sense.
Horizontal line and height are not terms that are reserved exclusively for math nor any other science.
The only thing used to explain why the earth is NOT flat is ur ability to walk and your ability to see followed by processing the information provided by these 2 quite common abilities, using COMMON SENSE. A preschooler that has no idea how to perform math nor has any knowledge of any sciences would be able to understand this, i guess he would need to have an IQ over 60 for that.
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity” and now we know the universe is not.
Are you for real?
The diagram you posted is a geometric diagram. Pure MATH and SCIENCE. Not a single shred of any common sense to it.
