Does 1.0.6 fix god mode PvP vampires?

pecheckler · April 2014

Thanks in advance. I'm not seeing anything in the patch notes about fixing the infinite bat swarm abuse.

ChampionSheWolf · May 2014

I doubt there will be an immediate fix anytime soon. It probably requires them changing how the ultimate system works, and might even include giving it a steep diminishing return factor. Something that it doesn't seem to have.

Nope, and no fix in the 1.1 patch on PTS either.

What if vampires are so god mode that even patches don't effect them?

It's more like tactically people that tunnel vision and don't understand don't run up to a vampire with bat swarm, will still just stand there and try to melee against a vampire with bat swarm actively running. It's often funny as I continue to pluck away at my bow and just watching a half dozen or so people just run in there and try to swing away at vampire swarm.

Is it unbeatable? No. Can it be grossly OP with some combos? A little but only against the really incompetent, realistically. Does it need some tweaking? Yep, but it's not some emergency thing and if people would stop thinking this is WoW they might get beyond some of the basic things they think are broken.

1.1 should fix the vamp abuse as aoe has a max 6 target cap i believe.

Borondir · May 2014

Capping the targets of ae damage on 6 ppl will favour zergs. We are still missing good ae cc like in daoc and implementing the same stupid cap like in guild wars 2 will kill small groups. Then you will need a zerg to beat another zerg.

Thats exactly the thing we experienced last night, and trust me, the look on the face of a vamp whose bat swarm and mistform got dispelled by a sorc ulti is priceless, but you must be very quick to see it, because the exact same sorc and every over person around is vapourizing the vamp in an instant xD
The NB mark and Backlash from templar work well too, same goes for DK ultimate banner

OP - Nope, can confirm last night. Witnessed 2 vamps wipe a 40+ person zerg, and they were all actively trying to avoid the bats, use range. The reflect ability coupled with unlimited magika/stamina/health from ultimate spamming that DK get make them godlike.

Yes, by making us effectively useless. 3* cost increase on all abilities instead of focusing on the real problem, DK and Sorc ulti reduction passives and the ulti cost reduction armor sets. But yeah, let's ignore all the broken vampire passives, let's ignore how weak they already are, and nerf them even further into the ground.
