Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[Welsper59]

Greetings,

Thanks for the feedback regarding the new mode. We’ve been gathering your feedback and presenting it to the dev. team.

In regards specifically to Cometeor, we do want to let you know that we originally planned to have it set to the same speed as Skyshard, but we have confirmed that’s not the case and will be addressing this in an upcoming HotFix.

Does this also mean it will be possible to dodge Cometeor? As it stands, you are hit regardless of what you do that's why. Note that my connection is fine, as all other AoE indicators respond perfectly and I have zero lag even during hectic battles. I'm assuming it's because of the very short cast time, and not because the area indicator is there just for show.

So... still no word on the stupid "Spell casts interrupted simply by being attacked" issue huh? Glad to see the dev team is really hitting those hot topics!!

Also, just to note, regardless of these Limit breaks; ranged are going to dominate any battleground where 72 people are fighting in close quarters. Ranged > melee. Common sense folks.
Amazing how one person who isn't even good at pvp whines about dieing as a melee in a 72 man battleground; gets their way and makes caster get a nerf. God forbid caster is viable in any pvp situation.

its just the lag of having 72 players stacked in one spot. What you see isn't whats happening. many time my cometeor don't deal damage to people that are clearly inside it

Yep, same thing happens to me. I can never dodge it. At first I thought it was me. But quite a few times I watched the casters casting bar. I move out the way when its 25% complete and I still get hit. lol

Is it? I mean the heals I throw out register perfectly and on time even during Cometeor. In that case, I think it's a problem exclusively to Cometeor IMO, other lag is your usual thing. I have noticed that the damage impact from it is delayed though (might be related to what Grekumah was referring to about intended cast time). I normally don't see Cometeor damage until after 1 sec after the animation hits, mind that again, I can still heal people before/during/after it does.

we need a more big Mid & Patch for range of Mage's ADRENALINE...

Just make it Comet... Single Target... Massive ranged LB just like melee but ranged and based on magic. There... done. The AoE is the reason you see their damage so high... that and they nearly never miss... and if they do get kills... it fills their adrenalin so they can spam it if they get lucky enough to get kills.

this would work i agree make it single target would solve alot of problems in slaughter
