Patch notes and new class look pretty nice. some new sets I want to try. that's awesome!
Buuuut...I have no reason to play anymore.... I have always loved building new unique builds for PvP, but lately nothing feels good to play and there is only the one playstyle that barely works, burst. the only way to play PvP at all anymore seems to rely on a 100 to 0 burst combo, this due to persistent problems with healing being out of control.
We all know this, but here is the deal: it can be solved literally at any time. Even right now, it should take any competent dev at ZoS a few minutes tops to at least get things going in the right direction again. the solution starts with a few simple changes to battle spirit:
-80% damage, changed from -50%
-90% healing, changed from -55%
this results in healing rates being half that of damage, rather than the current 90%, if my math is correct, while reducing damage to prevent another burst first meta.
these are very simple direct and easy changes to put PvP back in a good direction, but the 80/90 likely needs some better explaining. why those numbers? well, we want healing to be cut basically in half as compared to damage, but with a trade off of having even more upfront survivability. why? because healing MUST be HARSHLY reduced from its current state to prevent the player base from making minor build adjustment in order to achieve the same situation we have of infinite wet noodle fights. we need to help push a guarantee that someone is going to lose so that someone can win!
however, we do NOT want to see another one shot burst meta, and while there are itemization solutions, we should really see this tackled at its core. so with -80% damage, we will see burst used to control fights and kill weakened targets; and we will see healing used to offset incoming damage, not laugh it off.
why post this here and now? because all I really want right now is to see this kind of EZ PZ takes a few minutes battle spirit based solution TESTED. they can fit this into this PTS cycle and, believe it or not, based on previous behavior of ZoS, they actually will consider things that players are requesting in high volume and consistency.
please.... I actually can't enjoy the game anymore until PvP is fixed
