Thread: PvP 7.1

just because you don't bother doesn't mean the rest of us don't. even if you don't care about healing others, it's still suboptimal play if you don't heal them because it builds your lb

I'd like to see alternative Limit Break spenders!

I can see why you are having trouble with DK
Silence is not stop Eventide, it is prevent/delay DK from using Plunge and Blackest Night and put obstacle to Salted Earth (He is under focus fire from macro)
If Silence got DK at 45% HP, Seiton Tenchu will got him unless he scripted Eventide to auto trigger

I'm not having trouble with DRK and never said to use CC to deal with Eventide. If the DRK is using Eventide it's already too late, the pull has been done.
I'm questioning the logic behind using silence on a DRK that should be using Purify when going in. Are DRKs on JP not using Purify?

Silence is for force him to use Purify to create GCD delate of Plunge and Salted Earth, so melee will have time to react
It never means to stop Eventide
This is also not a IWIN strategy, but it will makes them suffers and no more easy game for them
This is better off than your idea of DK Premade vs DK Premade, it is only makes situation worst and boost their ego

I never said that Silence was to be used on Eventide.
The only moment you can use Silence on a DRK is when they plunge in, else they're just at the back of their team waiting for the engagement to start. If they're behind or within their team, being silenced is meaningless because they're safe, and can safely ignore it (why would they waste purify there?). When they do rush in, they'll have purify up, making your silence irrelevant.
I do not know how to explain it better.

Too many people still want healing nerfs. They don't want Recuperate to be spammed despite it being easier to pressure one to death. They don't want to deal with one team having a healer while the rest are dps despite certain dps classes being made more supportive. They want things simple, and despite things being reduced to a 6 button joystick the healing portion is turning a lot off. If all classes were made mainly dps only I can see a group of people quitting for the simple fact that they cannot heal others.

SCH needs more direct damage because its ironically still a PvE job in that front. Or double down on debuffing and support.

Certain limit breaks like RPR and DNC should not have an animation lock so that they can fully utilize it.
