Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[Hyrist]

Two Paladins with 6 death's each?

There was a lot more wrong with that fight then the Mage Stacking.

Not that Cometeror doesn't need to be nerfed. But that's just horrid. I get roflstommped as a Maelstrom tank and won't net more than 3 deaths on average.

Important question: Where are the healers!?

You want to tell me then that the reason that melees dying all the time is a healing issue? Its not even possible to heal a group with 6 melees while you have two healers. As soon as the boss spawns, they are getting nuked in seconds and as soon as you have one of them healed up, two more are already near death and ready to die.

And as long as this game mode allows ppl to really nuke down other people in a second, you cant do anything as healer, no matter how good you are.

Edit: Ah, might didnt understand you correctly. :P

Just because something is "fine" (melee), doesn't make it optimal.

It's mechanics are unbalanced, pre made can only be countered by other pre made and Ps4 cannot keep up with the fps at mid on 72. I think blaming one class for exploiting slaughter broken mechanics isn't the answer. Just come play secure with me .

Nah I was referring to the tanks with 6 deaths. That was an especially bad match for them. I'm ALL for nerfing Cometeor stacking. (My idea was to have the first hit for full ,but grant players a debuff that makes the following hit for shaply less.)

My question was where were the healers at all in that listing. Like, I don't see a single green box. If those teams were skimp on healers, it probably explains why the death counts are so high. That, and they likely herded into one spot for the whole round.

There are so many factors that would help reduce the mass impact of Magic DPS. But Cometeor stacking is pretty much the forefront of that.

Dude it's a cropped screenshot... it isn't every single person in the match.

COMETEOR!!!!

I assumed that much. *chuckle* But if the Tank is dieing 6 times a piece, just how dead were the healers and how many of them were there?

[Atreus]

Doesn't matter. With or without healers, the screenshots show the same thing.

If Tanks had gap closers they would die even more. Can't tell you how many times I've raised a Monk just for them to Shoulder Tackle right back into death. >.>
