What do you think about purge?

Olen_Mikko · July 2015

good? Bad? Need to be fixed?

Couple of times, i have ran into a group capturing keeps / outposts from main door with small group of purge users, that makes dropping flaming oil kinda useless, since all i hear is purge banging 24/7.

So, by no means i am NOT blaming them. Skill is available to everyone and everyone can use it once they level enough. But i think defending should be easier with fewer people, and spamming purge is not helping that.

So my suggestion is that purge is either for self or 1-2 allies, or effect is smaller.

Or leave it as it is, but make oils / ballistas / catapults first hit do more damage and DoT little bit weaker.

But i can play as it is now and try to adapt / counter. Just want to hear some opinions about purge.

As with barrier, purge should be nerfed so that it applies to only 6 people.

Totally agree, especially for the Purge.

It's been needing a hard nerf along with barrier for a long time now, it simply makes zergs way too powerful. Siege is useless, anything that can be purged is rendered useless because of one or more people mindlessly spamming 1 ability.

Purge and barrier need a major nerf if they want to allow smaller groups to defend keeps.

making the aoe smaller might be good, but on the other hand all you need is more people in the group with it. its too good not to use and it would make the game to *** to nerf hard.

Just add a cooldown on the purge effect and stop whining.

Nothing about the ability is broken or wrong, only that if multiple people use it, it can destroy keep sieges.

Purge - the reason why Dark Flare useless in 1.6.
