Heavy attack has an insane bug in pvp content.

    People getting one shot in pvp? This is news?

    Hate to break it to you all but welcome to the number one reason casual players refuse to do pvp. And this complaint has been there for years.

    There's a big difference between being 1-shotted because you head into PvP on a 17k health PvE glass cannon build, and getting 1-shotted by an obviously-bugged mechanic in spite of gearing out for survivability.

    And its not even the 1-shot potential that's the issue. It's that there is literally no counterplay to DoT ticks that start dealing damage before displaying an animation, cannot be blocked or dodged, and completely bypass Battle Spirit to deal an entire healthbar's worth of damage in 2 ticks.

    1-shot combos exist; that's part of balance. But trying to equate a Glass Cannon 1-tapping you and something that is an actual exploit is asinine.

    Gank builds, bomb builds, snipe builds…

    And then the complete opposite, tank builds, ball groups…

    We have heard the pvp complaints all the time.

    So someone without a meta build has a chance to win against a meta player. It really does not seem so bad to me. At least it evens the playing field a bit.

    I’ve seen this bug reported on different threads for months, and have yet to see any response to even confirm that it is an unintended bug.

    Can anyone confirm that there has been a response?

    Maybe I missed it.

    One thread about this got moved to "combat and character mechanics," and I jokingly said that this means it's intended because they moved it there instead of "bug reports." I said it jokingly, but there's a bit of logic behind it, since indeed I haven't seen any actual responses.

    Doesn't really matter if it's intended or not though because it's pretty obviously OP. Fix it... Balance it... Whatever you wanna call it, something needs to be done.

    If you get enough people together voting on a topic then every stance will have it's defenders. But the actual problem, and the actual solution, is pretty obvious.

    This is a change that WILL happen-- we just don't know when-- so I recommend everybody stay chill about it :)
