Maelstrom: just way too strong. "Oh shit, we're 400 points down! Kill everyone twice". The GC then proceeds to have what appears to be two parties at every fucking location. At the Manors. Outside the Serpent preparation den. At the Serpent Outpost. At the Heliodrome. If you're in this GC's fov, and they're in kill mode, their Whms will charge at you, as if whatever action they take is done with total impunity. Ofcourse swiftcast - sleep is next, followed by you being Fluid Aura into the horde. The horde then eviscerates you with deft swiftneess.

Whenever I see a Lalafell in full Syrcus gear sprinting towards me and that distinctive swiftcast sound goes off, I just silently cry inside.
