I hate all AOE. The more they get nerfed the better.

Aoe cap is not a nerf to Aoe, it helps the bigger groups. Just think about it a little bit longer.

AOE reliant gameplay is lazy, stupid and over-powered. I know the argument you refer to, but it amounts to fighting evil with evil. That is, leave it to the siege engins and make every other ability single target, so that at least a modicum of skill, like umm........I don't know ......... TARGETING SOMETHING is required.

Try busting out a firepot treb in vet White Gold Tower and see where that gets you. Making everything single target is easyy to say but not smart to do.

Vicious death is weak version of no AoE caps. Think it through.

Not really; vicious death allows smaller numbers to take out larger stacked numbers... But it is not like a weak version of no aoe caps... If vicious death didn't exist and no aoe caps did; if I bombed a group with my nightblade and kill just one.. I wouldn't wipe that group.. With vicious death you have that chance.

Are you really making a case for capless AoE using a solo bomber as an example? Because solo bombers are the big threat without caps??? If they remove caps and leave vicious death good groups will opt to run max dps builds...

Anyone that played DAoC understands why capless AoE kills games. All the people posting in favor of capless AoEs either want bomb heaven or are armchair quarterbacking a rodeo they haven't been to before. My guild bombed realm zergs in DAoC, bombed double warbands in warhammer, and if they remove caps in ESO, my guild mates will come back and we'll bomb here also.

It's not that I don't really, really love a capless system. Because I really, really do. It's that bomb heaven is where PvP games go to die.

Are you implying that capless AOEs killed DAOC? Cause anyone who's played DAOC knows that's not the case.

I'm also not making a case for anything..I was pointing out that Vicious Death is not a weak version of no AOE caps.

I also find it interesting that you think its Bomb heaven where pvp games go to die..Since 8v8 in DAOC was probably the crowning achievement of PvP in games so far and it managed to do just fine with no AOE caps and Bomb Groups present in the game (mostly cause they didn't actually work well in 8v8)
