Flux needs to be taken away from factions pvp for this reason. I would actually like to see flux restricted to GvG and HA only.

I would love to see an Invokespike against an Invokespike in GvG.

Monks might have to start using Spirit Bond or Prot Spirit liberally which means there will be a shift from stance monks to GoLE. Or maybe Soul Twisting Shelter spammers.

Either way, it might turn out to be a very defensive month.

For the most part I think a lot of ppl are over-reacting to this (just like any other update). Dervs are stronger only against other derv players....it's not like there are derv npc's that are effected. So in turn if a team with 3 dervs faces a team with none...guess what?...they get 0 bonus from the flux on those 3. There are many ways to shut down devs as well....they are not the end all be all...you just assume the other team will be running such and prepare for it.

Yet I however believe that the npc's in various arenas should not be effected by flux.

RedDog91 · Jul 01, 2011, 01:14 PM // 13:14

So...does the flux allow warriors to deal extra damage to the Guild Lord? Cuz this could greatly affect GvG.

edit:
well I guess it does. Hmm...this could be easily abused.

New definition of Epic Fail - people running derv healers in RA this month?

On the plus side, this is the only way we are ever going to be able to test and figure out what profession Juggernauts/Turtles are in JQ.

As far as the summoning stones are concerned, Juggernauts are warriors and Turtles are rangers.Time will tell if this is true of the JQ/FA versions.

They have warrior style armor, not sure what else is relevant outside this flux.

if you've gvg'd in the last 3 weeks, you would understand that 3 dervishes and fev. dreams has enough power to kill anything, proven by Boo running 4 monks and 3d+me. so even not running dervs isn't gonna change much.

Just that if you run a derv, you can run and EDA AND LINEBACK LIKE LEMMING

Imo the idea is not bad, but the implementation is and it won't have any effect on the meta except people dying faster. Nothing gained, nothing lost

chuckles79 · Jul 01, 2011, 04:36 PM // 16:36

Important question...Does this affect indirect damage?
Aka a monk casts retribution on someone and a monk attacks that person? If so, Scourge Healing just became standard on bars.

1. I like this because it will change things up, and remove the focus from purely targeting the monks to also observing enemies of the same profession. Smite monks in RA are going to be so adorable.

2. I hate this because blocking stances are about to become all the rage. Might as well lock up my ranger for the month.

I believe Turtles are often considered rangers. Time to find out, hello 30 min wait times if that's so.

i agree. at least it gives healers the opportunity to play different builds whilst other monks are playing offensively this month. at least give it 5 days or so to see how you like it. if you don't, there were a lot of other games released since GW came out way back in the day.

Apok · Jul 01, 2011, 07:56 PM // 19:56

Wait, are spells affected by this Flux, or just attacks?

Spells too, at least armor respecting spell damage, haven't tested armor ignoring spell damage yet.

Penny · Jul 01, 2011, 09:27 PM // 21:27

That flux is totally sucky.

Shayne Hawke · Jul 01, 2011, 09:47 PM // 21:47

Since Flux spilled into DA, it seems like Imperial Majesty is upgraded to a killing skill against similar profession players. Meh.

Look at it this way: it makes people play differently and gives a twist to something thats always exactly the same. I beleive flux did what it was supposed to do in an unexpected way (not to mention in the wrong way). Atleast they fixed the text now.
