Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[Hyrist]

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

Actually... they'll show if the Cometeors were clustered on the healers and the Melee were too busy being crowded together, or if the Melee over extended on top of being rained death upon.

Mainly, I wish to satiate my desire for all the carnage details. But I'll take a few screens myself if I get into a match or two before FC events start.

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.

Ah ok.^^
We had around 2 heals in each team.^^

A really bad game, even with it as unbalanced as it was.

Anyways, let me apologize and explain.

While I concede that Ranged DPS, particular the Adrenaline of Magic DPS, needs to be patched to be brought back in performance line. My brain doesn't stop there. I don't quit because things in the game are broken. My mind goes into "Ok, so this a megaboss. How do I beat this?" mode.

I'd be experimenting on DPS if I wasn't sworn to be on Hyrist until rank 40. Still, I do what I can to mess things up on a Tank. Glad Aether isn't so one-sided right now though.

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.

Agreed. I've seen players die in less than 10 seconds, starting from full health. Seriously, I counted, it took 9 seconds exactly for a ninja to kill a team mate in FLs. Why is this a thing? I'm in HUGE favor of a damage nerf across the board [50%], I've never played a game where you could kill someone so fast, it's insane.

10 seconds is kind of generous...

What exactly do you expect to happen to people when they're focused by 10+ players? Doesn't mean it requires a damage nerf lol...

That's not what I said at all ...

Even if it was just that ninja killing your teammate, 9 seconds is pretty damn generous, and I'm willing to believe the NIN threw in all his burst and won't be doing it again too soon. You honestly think that's too short and warrants a friggin 50% damage reduction?

Yes. Even with 5 dps on my Priest I could delay or outright avoid death with Pain Suppression, Bubbles, LoS, and some well-timed CC and even with all cds down they wouldnt kill me in 9 seconds. Killing someone 1v1 in 9secs is ... broken. Have you ever played a PvP game before (not to be snide or anything, but a lot of people here haven't)?

GW2?
BnS?
Wildstar?
any MOBA game?

C'mon man. Just stop.

I wonder if that might have been because of a lack of gear. I've noticed a bunch of fresh 50s lately. A fresh 50 tank will have less hp then an 80+ Healer in non-Vit gear.
