Return of Reckoning

Sorc and BW are very easily shut down by skilled players/groups, and even if you get a full group of players catering to your every need, the damage really isn't there to justify it.

This already was the case several years ago, and since then Sorc/BW received only further nerfs.

That's why I ...

The damage output just isn't there for all their shortcomings. In 6-mans the damage is way too telegraphed and easy to counter, in wbs they struggle because bombing basically makes you a melee dps without armor and mobility.

sorc has it worst of the two.

I do agree that backlash, imo, should just be removed.




I get the reflex, but this would erode class identity, and I think that's undesirable.

I'm pretty sure I'm speaking for most Sorcs and BWs that we don't mind playing a highly vulnerable, self-damaging class, assuming there's an ...

The damage is no longer there to justify the backlash.

My perspective as BW is that you're super squishy, not very mobily, barely have any cc, damage self... And for all that, your damage is not THAT high, compared to other dps classes.

This.

Broadly speaking, it's the same for sorc.

Excellent suggestion.

Regen kills build diversity, but at the same time closes the gap between normal glasses and some stupidly broken ones. Regen works especially well against dots. Without regen, prepare to go 100-0 from 2 dots thrown by a passing shaman.




This is a valid point. Shaman/AM has been borked in solo ...

Small scale is relatively common, yes, but not solo roaming.

As someone who exclusively solo roams on all of my characters - there are not more than ~15 roamers on a faction (SOLO roamers, mind you) in a zone which fields 200+ players on each side respectively, you even get to know them by names ...

Solo roaming/small-scale roaming isn't "niche" at all. It's a crucial part of a healthy RvR scene. Players need something to do during off-hours, and somewhere to go when the lakes are zergy.

Currently, it's being spoiled by the fact that normal players cannot compete AT ALL with regen builds.

Why is it lame?

Stacking for blob wars is optimised through certain classes items builds
Leet v Leet also has the same (other classes, builds and items)

Especially since regeneration stacking mostly hold value in a solo context and everyone has the option to do it



It's lame because you're ...
