How are large scale group feels about the change to rapids now that siege isn’t OP and we can truly get a feel?

    From what I've seen so far, Permafrost is ripping Rapids groups apart whereas before it was ineffective.

    I still see some decent groups and less bad ones that prey on individual pugs and small mans and when I do see them not up to snuff, they wipe.

    Still haven't decided with a small sample size but so far happy to have it balanced to work for those who really work on it. Not just clump and tank up and move with ease. Still have some of that but it's more full zergs than ball groups

    Only ballgroups I've seen so far get destroyed by snares as soon as they face higher number or the faction stack. Seems they can only kill now when they outnumber their opponents or face equal number of unorganized pugs at best.

    But then again since ZS left/stopped raiding there haven't really been any really good ball group around either. (vivec pc eu)

    I didn't see too see too many dedicated mag DD's, I think maybe 2 mag DKs with Rubixy and Randall, Abram was still on Sorc rest were mostly wardens of some nature.

    There was a definite lack of proxies and storms, as compared to the typical Drac raid. Healers/supports weren't easier to pick off perse, but the opportunities to do so were far more prevalent. Them using mist under multiple earthgores really hurt their repositioning capability.

    Feels okay TBH.

    It's been reduced to stam ball groups and zergs full of root spammers. The meta feels highly pigeonholed and generally unfun. The game was much better when people could move.

    I can’t believe I’m the one saying this but, I find it highly unlikely anyone in draq 1vxed kodi. Please do not throw rocks at the original 1vx kid.

    We still have a mix of stam and mag dd in raid but a lot of guilds on EU especially favoured stam since before Mirkmire (even whilst having rapids) my feeling about stam comps is that they are better when fighting equal numbers / zerg surfing and in some situations but they don't have the power when highly outnumbered fights.

    Personally I prefer it when comps can be more diverse rather than sticking everyone on stamden in the same way which smaller groups were forced to go to for the kiting. We did try before the patch but finding ways of making magicka work will always be my goal.

    He was no 1vxer. He was the famous one that made joke videos about himself being a cheater then got banned for what was it again? “Selling Skins”?
