Thoughts about Death recap

Morostyle

So, I've been playing around with my banana group 6-8man. We've been doing great, killing everyone with our unique setups.

I've reasontly noticed that the enemies we kill copy our builds thru death recaps, which I find a bit .....'Meeeeh'.....
We tested this by changing our builds from fire to frost and guess what - Not less than 1 hour in PVP we see the same people we kill, with the same changes.

Where is the originality in this game?

What are you're thoughts about the Death Recap. Should it be changed to keep specific builds hidden?

Without Death Recap, we wouldn't know which skills to complain about and ask for nerfs on though.

In all seriousness, it's never occurred to me that someone would copy a build based on the recap. For the most part, there are 1-2 builds that are flavor of the month which everyone uses. If someone was killed by a combination they haven't seen before, yeah it loses some of the anonymity and uniqueness. I wouldn't suspect this happens very often as people are pretty set with their FOTM builds.

As most MMO's go, there is typically very little originality when it comes to builds and rotations. No, I don't think they should change the recap as when I die, it's nice to know exactly what did it. If I see 2 oils on there but didn't see in combat, then I know I need to pay more attention. Without the recap, I would have no idea what I did wrong and how to fix it.

Well visuals and sounds give away what skills are being used, death cap just makes it easier to know what did what, cause a lot of people disable sound cause of voice chat they are doing.

But nah death cap is not something that matters that much leave it has is.
