RvR gets worse and worse

[Danya]

Dunno what the big deal with hib stun is I find healer stun MUCH more annoying, because it's longer and there's an AE variant of it. AE stun is the stupidest non-RA ability to date. Don't get me started on just how stupid some of the active RAs are...

Damn right Jenna I don't think many other realm tanks take malevolencia or greggor( and every other hib tank) hands down as hib casters do to other realms.

All CC is annoying to be on the receiving end of, that's obvious. What you gotta remember when calling for nerfs, is that many classes NEED their mez in PvE.. and without it in RvR, they're not gonna last very long.

What needs to happen is a LOT of thinking on Mythic's part regarding a sweeping change to Mez/Stun. That ain't gonna happen while there's easy money to be made..

Omen: You're right about Mythic not respecting their customers.. check VNboards, there's a lot of ppl with a lot of genuine concerns.. someone recently visited Mythic, and they slated the guys on the forums.

healers dont have ae baseline an they dont nuke either, an there alot more hib casters than there is pacify healers.
I would be lots happier if they had given wiz ae stun anyways

Funny thing was, Wizards had stun for a short while, then Mythic decided it was unbalanced to give them stun and nukes at the same time

They RA's led to the zerging. Zerging is the way to go if you want RP's fast and without fun. RAs added alot of whining and removed the small battles wich where the fun.

You wouldn´t think that the increase of highlvls that have nothing to do but rvr (or lvl alts) is the reason there´s so few small battles nowdays?

Personaly i love the RAs give me something to do after lvl 50, and i think it´s just right that if you spend a lot of time on a char you should get better. They sure has made it possible for me to use 6 sec pbt without having to ask for a pox first.

I believe that if the Midgard Healers lose their mezz/stun abilities, or have them nerfed, then they will become an irrelevance to the game (more so than now).

Are there any other classes, in any realm, that don't have any offensive abilities?

 

[SilverHood]

define offensive ability?

healers can hit things with their hammer

IP is wrong, seriously wrong!

IP was implemented to make tanks last longer, but the only reason they were not lasting long enough, was because the healing support classes are too ineffective at doing their job!

So they give tanks an instant heal that is more powerful then ANY support classes instant!! Why didnt they make support classes more effective? ..... because giving tanks an instant heal is less work for mithic! It is exactly the same reason that they implemented see hidden. Most RvR'ers agreed that sniper archers were too overpowered, but there were so many other ways to reduce their effect, without making them less fun to play..... again, mithic took the easiest option. The same goes for the mez/stun situation, with purge.

Mithic tried to fix the fundimental flaws of RvR combat, with realm abilities. RA's are a nice idea, but they should never have been used to 'bandage up' RvR combat. Trouble is now, mithic will never remove or change them (hence camoflage), but rather bandage up the problems they caused. I saw a similar thing happen with UO

Wardens dont have offensive abilities except they can spec weapon, unspecced short bow. No cc, dot, snare, posion, stun, smite, mez, root, dd, debuff wtf owt etc etc, except our 14 point ra
that does 100 x 5ticks damage area effect. By buying the RA we become even more halfway house.

Kind of funny that healers can hit nearly as much as
me with 40+8/9 in weapon.

FWIW personally patch 1.53 will make the battlefield tanks vs casters, support classes will be removed. Bards are really gonna
be lacking and so are support Wardens. As for other realms, I dunno.

20-25 sec mez duration tops, rr3 tanks with uber det and i pain/purge and everyone else chainganked?

What role the support classes?

Hehe, more like 'Healers can ruffle your hair once every 30 secs'
