I won an OPR match yesterday with no melee on my team just bows/FS/healers where as the other test had melee, range, and healers.
That would never have happened before. We would have been spawn camped prior to the patch.
I think there is more to it than just the flavor of the month.
idk seems weird, we had the same but opposit… and the melee’s ( premates ) just stomped the starwars side.
so far i haven’t seen a single crit spell of myself, hitting for more then 3.5k either
Premades is not about the meta
Are you considering attunement and smolder? One stack of smolder does like 1400 over 10 seconds to light armor.
and doesnt even last 10 seconds…
9 at max
with a burning ring + kindle skill
Regardless, that’s like 5k damage, if not more, from one attack.
ye 5k statpad. easily healed by every healer, lowered by Desert Sunrise, removed by every purify…
…and with soooo many ways to reduce or remove it immediately…those ticks might not even get a chance. Vigor is really slept on imho.
Bow has been “overused” for more than half a year lol
exactly
I play FS and Bow, right now the bow is strong and the FS is barely better than it was before, actually I’m not sure it’s even better. There’s allot more people playing FS right now so maybe that’s why it seems like you’re getting hit by allot of fire right now. People will see it’s not that good and switch, so wait out on any future changes.
It’s definitely better. Flare and the PoF speed is kind of ridiculous
%10-15 fs and bow nerf that we need. Also entomb is new defy death. There should be a nerf for entomb
Delete flare and all the bandwagon mages go away. POF is fine bad mages cant even land it anyways.
I use everything apart from healing weapons and I can say that FS is literally the same as it has been. The bow feels extremely strong right now and the GS still feels good but not as OP as it was.
FS dot can last max 11 tick
That analogy only works for the fire staff. You could compare that one to GS upon release. GS was less oppressive at the time because bruisers could keep them in check.
The bow has been heavily used for the last year. It’s had its time it needs to go. It feels even worse now because of the firestaff also destroying people so melee have little hope at the moment.
How?
Edit guess u mean from the 250 int treshhold.
Never understood why that increases bleed etc.
Aint spells… should rather work for ice storm and meteor shower.
Its definitely not a overused issue.
Bow has major problems in that it is too wasy for them to run with all thier haste, and they do insane damage from miles away even if u ward against them. There is no risk/reward.
FS is partly a overused issue, but thats also cause of a fundamental problem that smolder stacks apply damage bonuses regardless of who applies them. So the synergy for mass spamming them is too strong. Imo the smolder synergies need to be removed.
Its simple, theyre gonna disable mounts for any pvp activity.
