So what do you want really? Do you think nerfing the current scrub builds is the best idea? There will be new builds that don't need much input, and all bad players will play that. You will always keep bad players that need a brainless build like iway or thumper necro/ritshit.
Believe me, no matter what gets nerfed, you will always be fighting the same shit most of the time

Joke.

Infact, double fame weekends in themselves are a joke to me.
Only encourage more lamers to use lame builds.

You might not be able to preprot it, but you can definitely disrupt some of it, making it infuseable.

You can interupt some of it yes, but its not really even worth bringing a mesmer into HA anymore because of all of the song of conc's. If you are going to bring a mesmer its usually hexeater, so they have maybe 2 interupts. Which is 1 skill roughly every 12-15seconds.

You can pre-prot it. Play every profession and most builds. Then put yourself in the eye of the caller. You can imagine where they are going to spike.

Also, if he ports, there's going to be a delay of the attack.

So long as you spread out, it's not that hard then you just quickly move mouse to where the guy has ported. NOT on the red bar, but on the player itself. There is always a clue to it.

Most of it isn't people porting though...

Sure it's not worth bringing a crap mesmer and ONLY a crap mesmer could not interrupt song. Lol.

You either fail at interrupting or you don't even try and sit there whining all day long. DA just asks for an interrupt and Aegis is easy to spot.

Kinda funny. You are asking for zergway nerf, although DA, WoW and Aegis are the biggest problem for zergway.. Maybe stop runnin zergway, those blocks wont stop casters.

o ok nice zergway remark.

They're the biggest problems for regular balance teams that have 1 or 2 frontline chars.

We do interrupt them, but there are times when some go through because believe it or not, mesmers have other things to do. Passive defense is ridiculous. I've beaten teams with these builds, Ward harm, blurred, Aegis, guardian, DA etc.

One of my major problems with it is the fact it just stretches out matches for so long. I don't feel like reliving dual para 6v6 meta.

I had a balanced match earlier that took 35 minutes because both teams had Aegis, Blinding Surge, Wards, multiple hard res, and plenty of other fun things. Nothing there really needed a balancing, but it was still boring.

I'm sick of people QQ'ing because their narrow minded POS builds get rolled.

If you lose to iway and halls meta, it's your own fault. Stop running the same build and stop complaining when that same build loses.

Moreover, it's not builds that win halls. You still see the same balances, destroyer greg, warr mika, etc holding. They make it past all the scrubtrash in UW.

I wonder how. ZzzZZZZZzzzZZZZZzZZZZzz

Another thing that gets on my nerves, people with wolves and bambis talking shit like they've been holding since release. 1000 fame doesn't mean you're exp in HA, sorry.

Skill balance has been off for ages, halls changes mechanics on an almost regular basis. Quit focusing on builds that "need to be nerfed" and find yourself a better circle of players to run with.

Everyone has a tiger or a phoenix now, quit complaining and grind the fame to get yours. Ever thought that all the time you spend ranting on these forums could be spent actually EARNING fame? Do you seriously think that a nerf will make it easier for you to get that r9? Don't you think that if anet changes something, players in general will find a new meta?

Please use common sense before posting. Complaining about imba/OP builds on guru isn't going to get you fame.

There's a reason alot of players quit HA/GW in general. If you want fame, remember that actions speak louder than words unless you're r12.

Iwayed or not, people with more fame are usually the ones that worked for it. They invest more time in the game and end up with more to show as a result.

That double fame thing shows that the problem is not lack of people. now with 10 id's like in the good times, it's still pretty damn hard to find a non-xxxway team for people that aren't ranked 10 or above. All that degenerate noobfest needs to be nerfed asap, and before someone says "hey it's not overpowered capable team pwnz it", I say I don't care. Everybody is running the same crap, and that crap doesn't encourage anyone to learn how to play guildwars. It's not fun.

Nice balanced teams are starting at r6.
Yea, everybody's running the same crap, but in case Anet nerfs those craps like iway, someone will find out like 5 new teambuilds, and here we go again, everyone running the same build again. HA wont be perfectly balanced, ever. Get over it.

i'm closing here, nothing but crying and ranting is coming out of this topic. apparently, all of you prefer rant when it comes to HA instead of actually trying to help the situation? (read: various skill balance topics that have been created, wether they helped or not, but at least the balances "read" them)

so, bye, QQ less my dear HA community. you've had enough opportunities to cry by now.
