Cerun - Hats off to you (yes this is a FA thread)

[mursie]

So, first I must congratulate Cerun.

He did something last night in a RoR scenario that I honestly never remember seeing happen in any of my time playing live.

He literally, yes literally, ONE-shot me.

I have 4,540 HP on my SH. I came out of Reikland Factory spawn and was hit with a 4,590 Festering Arrow. Job well done!

I definitely have been fester arrowed by SW's. But never one shot. Usually i'm dotted up... know i'm in trouble, the dreaded knockdown flies in...and then I know the inevitable doom is quickly coming for the kill shot.

But this was next level stuff. literal ONE SHOT - full HP to dead in just one ability.

Now that the congratulations are out of the way, I seriously would like to have a discussion on this ability with the community. Not a flame war, just a serious discussion. Does anyone, including the SW doing the ability, think that something like this should be in the game. The ability to literally one shot a fully geared opponent in T3. (for clarification i'm a 31/35 SH wearing 3pc stalker, the wounds t3 influence belt with crit, both lvl 29 sc weapons, the echelon wounds/weaponskill cloak, devastator shoulders, and the t3 influence helm).

I list my gear and rank because I want to clarify up front, this is not a lvl 22 toon that just got face rekt. This is literally a toon that is four orvr medals away from buying devastator helm and being fully/completely end game BIS geared (imho).

So - seriously, does this seem right? Listen, if i'm dotted and get knocked down, I can at least notify my healer "uh...I'm about to get rekt ... anything you got pls help".

But this has no counterplay. absolutely zero. I mean - full health to dead one shot cya later.

Thoughts?

Happens more often than people think.

This has been brought up within internal discussions that we're trying to resolve, without breaking classes.

I can't say much, other than:

1)We're aware of it.

2) We're working on it.
