FF is silly overpowered, if you run without it against a decent balanced team you need to kill within 2 minutes or you lose.

Plague sending should not have the AoE effect, but since it's TA the AoE does not matter that much. Also, I think 1 energy spells are a bad idea in general.

There was certainly more variation in TA before they made FF like it is now. I can assure you that dual ranger (barbed/apply) would be used more, and you could actually pressure out a team with it. Now you are just fueling and healing up the necro. Same goes for trappers, the crip-anthem/weakness para, taint necs (yes I used em) and basically anything else that relies on conditions.

It's wrong that you are basically forced to run FF or lose. I still enjoy TA though. The mirror matches in particular. A good balanced team against a good balanced team are the most exciting matches.

The current setup in TA has a lot of flaws though. I am surprised nobody has managed to exploit them yet.

On a side note: I heard some stories about a nerf on WoD, it would apparantly disable itself for 10 seconds, to make sure necro's dont camp on their 40/40 and shut a monk down almost permanently. Not sure how reliable the source was though.

FF for elite imo. Stupid skill makes ALL condition builds useless. I have even tried one with Fragility and Soul Bind, but that wasn't enough.

The only one that's still somewhat viable is the one with the R/P, Me/E, N/E. Because you can divert FF.

This same 'balanced' build has been around for ages now, it's so boring. Oh and apparently linebacking is for pro people only. Camping the other warrior is really useful when there's no pressure at all.

/nerf FF please. Couldn't care less about Plague.

[concussion shot][scavenger's focus] to piss a nec off

(pro vs both balanced and hexshitters)

Some of u are exaggerating too much though. There is no way a nec could keep his team clean from poison ranger without hitting zero energy.

U can't simply nerf this without reverting all that bs izzy introduced first.

Also I am not sure if there was a preFF setup I enjoyed to play against. Gay EDA? Para'weneverdie'way? Dual monk with HC? Rec insecurity spike (still viable)? Shove spike? Warmonger R/P shitway?

Ok, so lamers can choose from less shitbuilds now but basically nothing has changed. Only the monk template has become moar retardproof and nec a bit harder to play (in term of multitasking).

Not like I wouldn't like to see this nerfed but the list of retarded skills is imo too long and izzy's brain too damaged.
