Initiative should help detecting but it doesn't. I've tried an extreme build with RP that can get lots of ini with selfbuff and it did literally nothing.

btw: does random scenario include event scenarios?

For T1 the new queue ain't working that great yet. A lot less pops.

I think they gotta soften the requirements for group setups.

It would help to see who is queuing on the other side (how many tanks/healers/dps) and which instances are open. That would help report issues and people would be more ...

There was a lot of action in the lake but still no pops. Look at the screenshot. 1h30 no pops.

That 1h30 looks suspicious. It's like a 90minute timeout. After that it started to pop again.

WLs have to sacrifice a lot to do good single target damage. They have to give up their AOE and their knock down. Beside that they have to rely on a buggy and squishy pet. Ain't that great. Other classes like the Mara do great damage, pulls and AOE kds without that pet with a better toolkit on top ...

Feinted Positioning armor ignore should be looked at first before taking any other actions. And yeah, pounce should not be on that class. Their self absorb needs to be reduced to 400 as well.

But letting those 2 Classes keep an not intended 10 seconds 100% armor ignore trough FP on their highest hitting, low ap spammable builder. (on top of one of them not just every 60 sec for 10 sec, but even every 20 sec for 10 sec) is an absolute NO GO.
We had years of back and forth debates about ...

Having guards serves several purposes.

1) It gives the losing team a safe place to regroup and skirmish. This allows the losers to rebuild their morale (both for characters and players). The barriers force losing teams to coordinate and push out together, which usually isn't possible for pugs.
2 ...

Seriously, if the vast majority of people here are against barriers, why do they still exist? They were created because of one influential streamer and his premade couldn't stomp ranged kiting classes back in the day.


You answered your own question! I might be wrong but this same reason was ...

I think bolster is right where it should be.

There is maybe only one point I don't like about bolster: I think all debuffs are being applied before bolster and not after. That should be changed. It makes them really strong on bolstered characters.
