When you begin to tell people that it's okay that you need 100% more resources than the enemy (2 players vs. 1 player) to win that encounter you have a serious balance problem... smallscale, largescale, whatever...Sulorie wrote: Tue Aug 13, 2019 7:22 am Having said that, there are plenty tools to counter them and it doesn't take more than 2 competent players, [...]
If a single dps could easily dispatch of a single healer archetype, balance would be ****. DPS AM fortunately have pretty bad heals as it is, and certain classes (Mara/BG/WE/Magus/SH) can dispatch of them in 1v1 - not that it amounts to anything meaningful.Wiede wrote: Tue Aug 13, 2019 11:22 amWhen you begin to tell people that it's okay that you need 100% more resources than the enemy (2 players vs. 1 player) to win that encounter you have a serious balance problem... smallscale, largescale, whatever...Sulorie wrote: Tue Aug 13, 2019 7:22 am Having said that, there are plenty tools to counter them and it doesn't take more than 2 competent players, [...]
Shammies/AM can do similar damage as a sorc/BW and with significant kiting not available to those damage dealers. BW and Sorcs are essential for warbands for their AoE output.Sulorie wrote: Tue Aug 13, 2019 8:08 amDepends on the group synergy of those classes.
Look at sorc, bw, slayer, choppa, all huge damage but can only perform at their limit in a group.
They can't do similar damage, not even by far. Don't get confused with sc scoreboards.BeautfulToad wrote: Tue Aug 13, 2019 12:44 pm

Agree, the comment that dps am/shammy do BW/Soc damage made me laughSulorie wrote: Tue Aug 13, 2019 2:10 pmThey can't do similar damage, not even by far. Don't get confused with sc scoreboards.BeautfulToad wrote: Tue Aug 13, 2019 12:44 pm
