10% would have been good, but 30% is abit random and over the top

I don't think this is going to effect dervs as much as everyone thinks it will. After all, if there's only one Derv and none on your team, its just like it was before. Finally, something to keep the grind of faction farming interesting from month to month.

...and I know it's kind of off topic, but I don't see what the problem is with Dervs being overpowered. They aren't really. Flash enchantments still count as spells. If I see one I use Soul Leech and Strip Enchantments. They kill themselves quicker than any other class I've seen...

if you go onto obs and watch 60%of the games consist of 3 balt dervs and a fev. dreams mesmer, that literally kill things in 5 minutes...

they're over powered to the extent that they don't need to even attack anything and can produce 3 conditions (cripple + bleeding from aura of thorns when torn down with pious fury + burning from avatar of balt)... can do this every 10 seconds, have infinite energy pool from radiant scythe and +4 regen, have mega armor from mysticism + insignias, and can attack 3 things at once.

i can keep going, but there's no point...

try and tell me that's not broken?

Perhaps, personally I do play slightly different now. I don't get close to anyone with the same proffession unless I try to kill them that way (it works quite well, they don't expect it).

so...If a ranger is using a pet against another ranger, will skills such as Feral Lunge, or Brutal Strike deal extra damage from the flux? They are technically the Ranger's skills...

animal fighter · Jul 02, 2011, 11:12 PM // 23:12

Rt/A...spirit strength with daggers.
peace rit flaggers.

other than that. most boring flux ever. is this really the best they could come up with?

I think you misread the flux, that'd be like wearing a "hit me" sign while going armorless.

So that wouldn't be a good definition of epic fail as he said?

Ah sorry, that was epic fail of me :/

Time to dust off my Mo/W reverse whammo and kick some ass in RA!

There Can Only Be One [Joke]

30% is far too high, bring on smiter midlines...

A PvE Flux would be pretty cool. GvG Sinway or EVAS Spam.

I would also like a Flux that doubled Arena teams; e.g. 8man RA, 16 (or maybe 12) HA and GvG.

That was somewhat of a joke referring to this month's flux. I don't think it's possible to spam more EVAS, I can get three going at once alone, probably 12 copies or more if everyone in the party brings it. 16 player HA and GvG would be interesting and terrifying at the same time.

Even considering they would implement it , it would lead to problems :
- Activity can be an issue.... it's already hard to find 8 players , so guess for 16...
- It would be a complete rework of the format
- It wouldn't be fun.... Builds such as 13(9) air ele invokers and 3 monks for example would probably rule....

However i agree on the point that flux should be more original ( maybe more regular than monthly too) and not just fit to GvG...

Darth_Krizan · Jul 06, 2011, 12:21 PM // 12:21

I have an idea. Make this game even more hack'n'slash.... -.-'
I guess "making" gw2 for another 2 years is more important then balancing current meta.

Wyndy · Jul 06, 2011, 03:16 PM // 15:16

Smite Luxons against healing Kurzicks in FA is interesting.

Does this affect armor ignoring spells?
