Getting dunked on as a newb has been a staple of every mmo ever. It's what gives you a feeling of progress, and a goal to reach.Detangler wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 6:09 am Good. It was needed. There are plenty of times you WL players killed someone before the knockdown was over and you all know it.
"Nuh uh! Only if you're an undergeared lowbie lolz"
And if you're one of the many people just leveling in this game or just joined and you got vaporized? That's kinda a crap attitude for a small population server to just say 'eff you' to half the enemy fightin' force - both sides have plenty of undergeared lowbies that just want to get thru the grind.
"But front loaded burst is what defines the class!! I dont want to have to assist my party to get kills!"
Look, let's just level for a minute, ok? It's not fun to go up against someone in a fight when you dont get a chance to fight back. This same argument has been played out in other games many times over. Front loaded burst that high needed to be toned down. Yes, BW and sorc can do that kind of damage -back loaded. Theres at least a chance someone could clear a debuff and mess up the damage rotation in the 10 seconds it takes to set it up. See - they get a chance to fight back.
"But I like doing damage!!! Its a damage dealing class!!"
Its either this or you lose your knockdown.
"Aaarrgh!!"
Now give them another AoE attack so they stop complaining about not being useful in warband play.
"Ok fine...."
Frankly, with bolster and the power granted to you by pve gear (which can help you side step any licks you should be taking, entirely), this server already does more than its due diligence to afford everyone a fighting chance.
If you are still getting rekt (while others don't seem to have these issues) maybe... JUST MAYBE it's a "you" problem.
