Return of Reckoning

When talking about the tankiness of healers, I suppose we should specify whether we're talking about scenarios/6v6 or RvR/24v24. In large-scale fights, I would not argue healers are too tanky, since the damage potential there is way higher. But then again, positioning is the primary means of surviva...

Everything begins and ends with proper rewards for what you want people to engage in. Unfortunately, for as long as I can remember these devs have had a negative reinforcement mindset. They seem more preoccupied by the pipedream of a system that cannot be abused than making the game fun and rewardin...

Imagine in the current state of the game (exremely fast ttk) saying healers are to strong. The need for a fast TTK is obvious - the protective safety net provided by healers and tanks is way too big, which means players have to circumvent it by killing things in the timespan of a CC/punt. The fact ...

Healers being too tanky is perhaps the single-most pervasive issue in RoR. At this point I'm almost certain it's simply a wrong-headed "design philosophy". The cause is obvious: willpower is a very weak stat and healers don't need to invest in it to get good heals. The result is healers ge...

- WoDS cooldown basically murdered SM 2H survivability. With the change to Heaven's Blade from resist buff to debuff (stacking so yay!), basically this was the last bit of extra survivability we had and now it is very easy to get past. One interrupt (and there are lots flying around) and buh bye. Y...

Sorc/BW nerfs, really?

Single-target DPS RP is surprisingly fun and strong in mid-tier, but drops off very rapidly at cr40 because it lacks the burst to overcome the many sources of healing in RoR. I wouldn't say it's so much an issue of RP being too weak, but the defensive safety net in RoR being so strong that sustained...

Shades of Death lacks damage in its current form. After mitigation is taken into consideration I doubt it will do more than 200 damage. I think the intended purpose of the spell is not in a DoT-focused burst. After all, DoT focus comes from Calamity, and direct damage comes from Agony. Personally I ...

Bloodlord.

You're a swordmaster, not a soymaster.

Any notions of 'OP' fail the common sense test. The fact of the matter is that the majority of rDPS are not desirable at all in 6man comps or RvR warbands - these areas are dominated by mDPS. Why is that? Because competent groups know how to catch and shut down rDPS, or the rDPS classes simply lack ...
