Cool meme bro. Nice and vague, I like that.

The RvR is kind of poor now, considering their previous incarnations. They are very niche now, considering full stacks are going to cost you 6k health

They are pretty good in solo arenas if you can survive it. They might need a small buff, but they are pretty strong in niche applications. I use them way more than for example Snow Treaders or Belharza's Band.

seems pointless , any teleporting kills the stacks,

that being said, pale order exists, there's no point sacrificing survival on arenas.

i do agree it needs a buff, it shouldn't be bad because pvp exists.

I miss these. I think the fact that it dings your health AND reduces your shields is what kills them.

They need to balance pvp and pve separately. Its items like this that suffer due to the balancing issue; some items have cool concepts, but get nerfed into the ground for the sake of game balance, but it's not balanced. They're just nerfed until they're useless for both PVE and PVP, because the design makes balancing impossible when it comes to certain items. Thrassian Stranglers, if buffed slightly, would be too strong in PVP, but still too weak in PVE. So they leave it as-is, since it doesn't imbalance the game if the item's bad, right?

That's not great imo. If they just pull up their bootstraps and start balancing the game modes separately, they can make a ton of skills and items better and useable in applications for both sides of content.

It will never be separate. There isnt even a asia, africa ,oceania etc server.
