Would changing the "I Will Avenge You" skill so that it doesnt work with pets anymore be better?

Rico Carridan · Dec 04, 2005, 10:51 PM // 22:51

Does it need to be changed? IWAY isn't a particularly effective build anymore. I think obviously had anet wanted to make this change, they would have done so already.

Good. IWAY Modification.

Pick one.

I have to guess that orders are going to get another range nerf though. Thats the important part about the IWAY build anyway, the orders. IWAY itself is just an easy way for a little healing and an attack speed increase.

Not exactly saying that it needs a nerf, just that it's my guess that it will be.

i dont think a nerf is needed for orders and ranger spikes.
what they could do, is make spirit of greater conflagration stronger, to make people have an insentive to bring it against these builds...

I don't like IWAY much, but is it really overpowered? Not reallly. I don't think this is something that needs to be 'balanced', really.

Kool Pajamas · Dec 05, 2005, 06:06 PM // 18:06

IWAY is fine as it is. Changing it either way would be dumb.

IWAY is nothing that needs to get fixxed, its the example of a genious' work, its simplicity and the strong effects. However, as you know that so many people use IWAY, why don't you counter it? It is easy to counter IWAY with a little bit of training.

IWAY does not need more nerfing. If it did then it would have been nerfed more during the first IWAY nerfing.

If anything needs nerfing it would be Ranger, Ele, or Necro spikes. I'm not saying to nerf those, but they're definitely a lot harder to beat than IWAY is. So first things first if the nerf bat is to swing.

Fenix Swiftblade · Dec 05, 2005, 10:49 PM // 22:49

A lot of the consideration going into whether something will be nerfed is whether it is overused or not.
The only reason I think IWAY MIGHT need to be nerfed is that it's so ridiculously easy for anyone with half a brain (probably less too) to play well. If they reduce the range on the orders, the good IWAY teams will still be able to play it well, but the ones who have no idea what they're doing beyond find a target with weak armor and hack away will have to find a new way to farm fame. Then we have an okay build being played by some teams who know what they're doing, but not what we have now, where every other team is IWAY

the only good iway modifications are to either limit the number of bodies it can exploit (ie "for each dead ally ( up to 3) you gain 10 seconds of....")
or
remove it from the game (my personal favorite)
or
do your idea AND make it only effective on bodies within the aggro circle

I think they should nerf EoE, such an annoying skill, made me lose Halls more then once.

You want to know the others skills that make me lose HoH? Those ones that the team that beat me used, so we should nerf them.

I personally think that it isnt so much any 1 skill in particular that needs to get nerfed, i jsut think they need to change some of the skills ot favor casters more. Its the current metagame now, warriors are the only way to do good dmg. A bunch of half brain idiots shouldn't be able to beat a well organized team just because they didnt bring enough warrior hate. Its not iway really, its the fact that most skills favor warriors so much.(like rez sig) Mostly im hoping they buff a lot of skills.(especially ele skills) So that using warriors arnt the only way to get good dps.

FireFox · Feb 25, 2006, 03:14 PM // 15:14

It's not the iway is overpowered, it's that it's overused.

fiery · Feb 25, 2006, 04:32 PM // 16:32

Another iway flame, leave the skill be.

LifeInfusion · Feb 26, 2006, 01:14 AM // 01:14

they should make it party members only.

If IWAY is an overpowered skill that needs to be nerfed, ANET would not have placed a 4 W/R with pets IWAY team in Veteran Zaishen Challenge.
