Range Debuff (or nearsight)

[Jenna.]

yes, lets nerf RM more, we can lower dd from 25 dmg to 20, and then we remove speed and then ... ... we can just delete the class

but I agree, the 2 min timer is kinda zzz and it should be crueable.

Still, I think hibs baseline-stun needs more nerf than rangedebuff

Nearsight itself isnt the problem, the classes it is on AND the fact that theres no timer etc.

As a Cabalist, I nearsight a lot in RvR even though it gets me sod all in return, and I'm often nearsighted myself, so I know how it feels.

I could live with NS being on a timer, like mez is.
If they add cure nearsight, then I think the gimps in hib/mid should get it, and the most popular classes in alb should get it, seeing as that would be a mirror image of Nearsight

If people in Albion recognised the tactical advantage Nearsight can give, they might not all call NERF!
The problem is, in a battle, I nearsught 30+ people so our casters can get closer to mez, so our tanks can get in.
What happens ?
THEY RETREAT, then 2 mins later as nearsight wears off the enemy.. THEY RUN AT EM

Remember, nearsight does no damage, gets no RP's, yet gets me 20+ pissed casters/archers targetting me in 2mins
In Albion, theres very little reason for me to nearsight

this thread is great! Its a timely reminder on how powerful Nearsight is. I think people, in there sprint for rp's, had stopped using it as much as they did when it first was given to our realmsmen. Be sure that this thread will probably have a few more people resurrecting this tactic. I think its a good one to have, and have seen many keep defences where mages are allowed to carry on hitting people because the opposition would rather try kill them than disable them.

The last poster shows tactical nouse. He went one beyond the lets just Mezz them. Come to Midgard!

You'll be glad to hear with the RA ability purge. A lot of our healers who have only just turned 50 suddenly disappeared.
I wondered where they were then saw familiar names with Assassins rolled. We may have the best CC char but as a realm I think we have the worst CC. I would rather take away some CC and give them a damage type to encourage them to stick with the char.

I don't know what has happened in this chain since, but I saw the word 'nearsight' so I just thought I would say that its overpowered especially with runies, who got nearsight/speed/pbt over wizards... dont give me that about how u gotta spec suppresion to get it, you can still get the bolts and before you even say about how fire is better compare the 3 sec casting time of fire nuke to the 2 sec casting time of the darkness one and you see what I mean.... in other words, nerf runies. i dont think elds are overpowered tbh, so no rant for them although they still make wizards look like gimps

Either way playing my runie gave me a bit of xp using nearsight in the bg's and my advice to those who dunno what to do to avoid it is to wait till they casting it on someone else then close in and bolt them or whatever you do

Anyway, thats just my 5 pence
