There is even a big whining thread about the GA after this patch… While on our sever, the companies trying to recruit GA / melee players, because you want a ton of them in wars now…
Imo it’s worse with GA when the target is slowed but i never tried hatchet and rapier
I play GA and VB often and I can tell you its the same. The enemy only needs to press w and its not possible for you to hit him. No matter if heavy or not. Only spear can I think.
I think one of the big issues isn’t just the weapons on their own, although you do have some obvious offenders like rapier/bow/hatchet/etc, but rather that we have full trees or specific abilities that see absolutely zero use in game (rapier blood, hatchet throw, meteor shower, wind chill, cyclone, etc), and a shit ton of useless, broken or otherwise underwhelming perks.
There’s no question about the issue at hand, and yet the only response we ever got from the devs was “we think the current situation is fine as is, we might do minor changes in the future”. Wish we had more clarity about this.

What are you talking about, didn’t you watch the dev video… it is most played weapon hahaha… completely healthy.
lol
lol we already seen this kind of im elite post
Lifestaff - Good only because its literally the only healing in the game
Void Gauntlet - Good due to the void damage and buffs / debuffs it can apply
Ice Gauntlet - Top Tier due to the AOE and the slows
Firestaff - Trash and has useless skills
Hatchet - Trash has a tree that is completely useless hur dur im gonna throw it…
Spear - Good due to majority of the skills have a purpose and low CD’s on them
Great Axe - Good just throw that grav well bruv
Hammer - Top Tier due to the CC alone
Bow - Trash only thing going for it is the AOE of poison cloud and rain of arrows
Musket - Trash only useful in PVP
Sword and Shield - Probably worst weapon in game
Rapier - Was top tier but blood tree pretty much useless
Heavy Armor - Great for soaking damage
Medium Armor - dodge away
Light Armor - Ice skates
Well, if Im the only one who can reliably ends up top 5 in 95% of OPR, top 10 in the rest, no matter if we win, lose, game is good and long or a quick trash, with the worst weapon in the game ATM, than maybe I am, or the rest should just stop cry and go git gud.
Yeah, what annoys me about light armor is that the 20% bonus damage doesn’t make up for its 300% damage it takes from incoming attacks. With all of the aoe cc’s and other cc’s in the game, any light armor user will die quickly.
I mean, a heavy armor user can hit a light armor user for upwards of 5k where as a light armor user can generally hit a heavy armor user for 750-1200 damage. Doesn’t make sense.
Padding damage with rain of arrows and poison shots , everyone can do this. We talking about enjoying pvping with a bow. If you didn’t feel it clunky right now not sure what game you playing

Not exactly true… they are dominating the scorebard… not the opr… we can outheal much of their dmg, they are not killing anything…i found i am doing more healing in opr and getting less points, to be top 10 now i have to be over 1m in opr. bruisers in GA/WH are still the meta… and they will be until ags’ mentality change… give me 4 bruisers to heal and i will trash any mage team you put ahead of me.
seeing sword player in our opr, full dmg, doing fine.
hatchet same…
got hit in a war for 5.7k by it… with 2x resilient ( light armor tho )
I strongly disagree with this. Balancing should always be done from the highest tier available, while taking everything else into consideration. And right now wars are the only high tier content available with significant impacts to winning/losing
from the raw data they already have they would already know just how impactful GA - GW is in wars and OPR.
they almost nerfed it then it was complained into a buff some how.
Its just patetic how much they nerfed the rapier. I have always used rapier with musket/bow/IG/FS, since launch, Why is it that everytime i get back to the game, to see if something new came out, the only thing i find is that they nerfed my build and made it useless? Performance is worse than ever also. So uninstalled the game, for the third time in the last 4 months.
Let me point the developers, this is the worst team i ve ever seen in a game so far. Not even mad, just very dissapointed.
You bring up a great point here. There is a lot to consider when talking balance. Solo vs Group vs zerg (war/OPR). PvE vs PvP.
Oh snap! Renzinho just pulled out the parent big guns!!
bring some screenshot to back this
