Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[Mardel]

Especially since you are making the cast time longer, can you please please PLEASE make it so if Cometeor is INTERRUPTED by ANOTHER player, that your LB (Adrenaline) gauge isn't cut in half? It's going to become far more difficult to hit people with Cometeor, and far easier for people to just stun/silence you out of it, and then to have your LB bar cut in half on top of you probably dying shortly thereafter is way too much of a penalty. Caster is the ONLY job type where you can interrupt their LB. I understand if you lose half your gauge for MANUALLY interrupting the cast YOURSELF, but when someone knocks you out of it and you lose half your gauge, that's just ridiculous.

Try using melee LB it is a 10 times worse. Oh, they move 1 step too far from you.... too bad. Got stunned, too bad. They LoS you, too bad. It is so much easier to land a mage lb; wether or not people get hit by it that's all on your placement.

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.

can you please tell the dev team to make new sets of PvP gears? release them sometime around 2.5 part 2 will be a good gift for us PvP'ers (but please don't recycle the old animal gears ). thanks.

Battle High and Battle Fever mechanics only benefit dps classes. The whole system only benefits dps. How would healer obtain battle fever? Better yet, what will healer do with + damage when they don't do much damage anyway. The same applies for PLD/WAR, especially PLD. Good luck getting a KO regardless what gear you wear with PLD.

My suggestion would be for SE to introduce alternative ways for tanks and healers to aqquire battle high. And make the benefits different for them. For example

Battle High/Battle Fever for healer: Increases healing power and spell speed
Battle High/Battle Fever for tanks: Reduces the duration of CC applied to you and reduces damage done to you

The whole system only benefits dps.

Even the new slaughterhouse achievements are catered to DPS. It would be very hard to get those kills as a healer. I was really hoping they would allow kill assists to count for that achievement but nope. I actually switched my pvp main from whm to a dps class so I can start getting that achievement.

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.

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

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.

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
