Does Purge Need a global cooldown

wanderlustx5

I myself feel this is one of the key issues allowing zurgs to reign unchecked.

A better change would be to limit the max effects purged in total, instead of 2 per player.

I get the zerg frustration but, I don't think messing with purge is the answer.

You would think the crippling lag would be enough to make the metric butt ton of zergbads split up ... but it's not.
I couldn't even get within 500 meters of Chalman today without rubber-banding back to Bleakers

No, purge is fine the way it is

You reduce the ammount of players arround you can purge. (Which probbaly wouldnt do much since everyone in a group almost have purge on a bar)

^^^^Just because I liked this choice lol but I believe purge just needs purged from the game, make healers work harder and get rid of the insta-boo boo binder for zergs.

A global cooldown on purge is a bad idea, as there are skills that apply multiple debuffs at once. To counter them you need to be able to purge twice. Additionally purge poesn't alwas behave intelligent (doesn't remove the most harmfull effect first) and therefore needs to be used multiple times in some situations.

Purge is the only effective countermeasure to anti-siege. However, purge is easily overcome if players focus fire and coordinate their oil pot drops/fire ballista firing. Very few players can survive simultaneous direct hits by 3 siege weapons.

Some people here run with zergs =X lol oh booyyyyy

Yes, for sure

Zergs are a horror, if you remove Purge altogether then maybe there will be more lag-free smaller scale combat. Once they find some way to fix the lag they can put Purge back in if they want.

If you do this then purge should remove all negatives effects (not only 2) or it would be useless, especially for solo play. Id rather see the ammount of players purged capped (6 or 12 idk)

Let's make it easy. Not one ability in this game needs a global cooldown. (Except for apparently templar abilities. Fu zos)

reduce the effected players to rhe 4 players in your group (so one purger for every of the 6 groups of 24man warband)

as far as I can tell almost everyone runs in zergs, esp AD and EP

I am really not sure if this skill is broken, but I have often thought that something this powerful should be in the game to give players an attractive reason to play a supporting role in pvp. Maybe having the range scale off of the number of AvA support abilities slotted, say 4 meters per ability, would make its usage more restrictive but still available at full strength for coordinated groups that want it.

Wrong again, thanks for playing.

They need to reduce the targets purge hits to two allies. And it should only purge one effect per ally.

cjthibs

Yes, for sure

What about making it a channeled ability?
Make it take a second and a half or two seconds.

Jesus Beam skill-less spam in PVP is the bigger concern by far.
