I like the idea.

I'm all about leaderboards and boasting.

Kill stealing. Don't want the aggrivation of taking out 90% of enemies health only to have someone come in and mage wrath for the kill.

Maybe a kill counter that only tracked kills to whomever did the most damage, but I think that would make even more lag.

How about this - leaderboard point goes to the player who landed killing blow, unless somebody else did more than 60% of the dmg on the dead player in that fight. In that case the kill goes to that person.

I'm all for it if separated from the actual official leaderboard. I dont think stealing killing blows and ranged spec's should be the main route to get emp or end of campaign rewards.

But as a side fluff/fun thing, would be awesome. Could also have a leaderboard for max healing, max dmg taken and most dmg done. Loads of MMORPG's have this feature as weekly thing. It's fun for bragging rights, if anything.

Instead of adding a leaderboard based on killing blows, add a ranking system into the game. Then make people choose between unranked campaigns and ranked campaigns. Add a new quartermaster that sell exclusively sets of gear that requires different amount of ranking and that cost ALOT Of APs (50 to 100k per piece).

Optional : Bring faction points into the game. Faction points can be earned by capturing / defending objectives and scrolls. Make the leaderboard work with faction points instead of alliance points. Alliance points would remain in the game but they would be earned by landing killing blows. They would be used only to buy stuff from the quartermasters (sieges / gear / gems / etc).

Edit : Ranking would be earned with total Killing blows or Killing blows / Deaths ratio.

That would actually be a really good idea!

Personally I like the idea of any kind of leaderboard, should be one for rezzes and heals too

1) I got the emperor kill achievement, requires killing blow, on a lvl 12 NB on the old Wabba campaign. The only thing I did was fire a bow attack from stealth at an emp fighting a whole group.

2) My main is is a healer.

Alot of people play this game in support roles and as healers. Seems like you want the unknown players to be even more unknown!

No. Why? Mages Wrath and disintegration passive. They allow you to pre-proc an execute allowing you to steal killing blows from people. Sorcs would be top of the table and even more hated. Also it would just make more players want to be damage dealers in pvp.

In this vein, i so love those tells from really terrible fotm sorcs that use this tactic to steal a killing blow (and did absolutely nothing else but run away from every engagement) and run their mouths.

Never ceases to amaze me just how idiotic people are.

Fortunately I've never experienced that. I feel that there is less fighting talk on EU, probably because english is not the first language of the majority of players and therefore trash talk is an effort. I got a wall of light blue text in german once, but he could have been telling me what a great guy I was for all I know.

Killing blows are meaningless anyway; not sure if it's an addon I have but my chat feed will tell me that the person who did the most damage to me killed me. I verified this against the death recap; the player name to appear in my chat feed as having killed me is always the player who did the most damage, regardless of who got the killing blow.

I hang back and let my friends do all of the work, and then throw in an endless fury to steal the killing blow and *** them off. I can confirm that the kill goes to who got the killing blow and not who does the most damage.

Na it goes to who got the most damage. Many times I look at who killed me in the chat feed and it's different from the killing blow in death recap.

It's only addons you are talking about here, they are subjective to the user. A server side mechanic would be objective and give both sides the same information.

You may as well call it the Nightblade Leaderboard with a few Sorcs added in for good measure.
