Now that rapids spammers are out of work....

Just curious what the ball group gangs are gonna do now that rapids has been changed to not removing snares etc. IMO, this is one of the biggest changes to PvP that has ever hit the game. Having everyone move the same speed is one thing. I think it can still be done "somewhat". But the snare and root removals are gonna be tougher on a consistent basis. I think we're gonna see many of your members get stuck behind.... moving and killing as you do will be a thing of the past.

We started running without Rapids at the beginning of Feb. and it really hasn't made much difference. Magsorcs can bring the negates, and while purge doesn't deal with snares and roots nearly as well as Rapids did, it still works. As for Expedition, well, you don't have to be super fast if you can make the people chasing you much slower.

It's not the same, for sure, but it's not the end.

I was just thinking about this last night watching Dracarys and GoD's raids run around 30% faster than PUGs in the area thinking this would be the last time I'd see this happen. It's the end of an era. I will be interested to see how they adapt now that they can't use their movement as an advantage over PUGs.

Ball groups will be more support focused and spam purge more along with more people using purge blades and running path.

Regardless, movement needs a reworks. This snare root meta bs is out of control and I’m honestly dissappointed with how zos hasn’t even addressed it.

The guilds I'm in already have formalized what should be tested past the pts tests they have done for group comp, have already tested some comps on live in the past couple of weeks, and already own these setups.

It may take a few days to completely flesh out the adjustments needed but those groups will be back in business rest assured.

If you think these groups won't still be able to outpace and outmaneuver that tumor you call a group, it's no wonder you've taken to running with such a low level gameplay style. You can't imagine anything greater

Most ball groups are warden-centric, and if they are made up of Redguards, they won't notice a big difference. The others, well, will see their healers getting ganked.

People will maybe need 2 weeks before they start using StamWarden healers. Dragonknight healers might work, too (if the Ultis weren't that bad)

I'm sure we'll find out once the siege stops melting everyone, ball group or not.

It's just lovely how they give more power to the zerglings every patch.

Hahaha your response was fantastic

The guilds that build their groups for fights will adapt to this. And then the next complaint will come.
