Were flag runners overpowered to A net?




Studies show that 92% of teens listen to rap. If you are part of the 8% that listens to real music the add this to your signature.

I do go in and out but the original run there takes a while and that skill helped a whole lot. Since they lowered it 8% I think I might just bring crystal wave.

huh they nerf movement speed and therefor take an AoE skill?

tho I dont seem to get the point, whats that little 8%, so why nerf it? ele's need casting time before they can move so..

I would be exchanging speed in the run for speed in the kill.

RE: Update - Friday, February 15, 2008 

ViO is still just WTF. They should take it out, as well as take out the +5% every 30 seconds thing that VoD does now. Basically change it back to normal VoD.

Pretty sure that pious haste was one of my favorite skills for the other teams runner to have. Especially if he was bad. Oops, no nobody will be as bad as they really are and might start running a better bar.

The ele nerfs really aren't too bad, all it does is allow rangers to catch up and get a crip in and let a warrior get there and blow up that runner.

Mesmer: Why is there no middle ground on these skills? EC is now interruptible, but still blows your face up. And Pleak is going to destroy monks, who already are weak on the party healing aspect. Bad move here. Pleak should keep the recharge, but maybe take away 12 energy at the top.

Death Pact Sig was really the only good hard res left. Now it's even more interrupt bait. But the thing is, Izzy/Andrew Patric aren't going to see it as a bad thing because it's only for a couple of seconds during a match that that skill is going off, and it doesn't do a huge gamebreaking move to the other teams party bar. So it's likely that it won't get reverted. It was already easy to interrupt for any decent ranger, so this is just ridiculous. Pretty much the entire point was to have death pact go off before the sigs, now that doesn't happen. I really don't see any other viable hard resses, so this is going to really suck and mean that a kill early on is more game winning than before.

I hate the deathpact update for gvg and pve. Havent played gvg much recently and don't know how effective VoI really is but seems like it could give a huge advantage just making degenerate sin splits more powerful. Pleak could use some work still.

swords also trigger sb less along with having high pressure capabilities but are more vulnerable to block and have less utility than a shock/axe or hammer.

it shouldnt make any difference in theory. the only reason you need the speed boost is to drag the graspings away from the aatxe. and in nm, any speed boost will lose their aggro. it just means you may take a few more hits from the graspings before you can get away fully.

but if your careful and have the enchants all set up, it shouldnt be a real problem.

the only thing i can see being a problem is the run from the chamber to the smites. as the group of patrolling graspings that you dont want to kill will chase you to the end of eternity now. and with the smites and aatxe so close, it could be a real problem.

but i'll have to go check it later today
