Nerf DwG

Destructive was glaive is far too overpowered for normal mode and allows people to do mindless domain of anguish runs with no more skill required than ursan.

needs to be nerfed.

I grew bored of it after my first dozen or so runs it really is mindless.

Wait, what? I never heard of the build.

I don't know if it is a build, so much as DwG and whatever else you want

scratch that, /unsigned

it is preety mindless, but its a meta thats lets u use a rit..

so /unsigned b/c its a meta on a ritualist, we need to keep living in the era of rits.

People don't get it...

Nerf this, ANet will buff another skill. It's a never ending chain...

Small nerf for PvE

Nothing for PvP...if a DwG kills you,you just can't press WASD

Or you have a hammer warrior on you and are likely to be sitting in the middle of savannah and eating a rodgort's.

It sees play in HA, though that is mostly due to HA's poor formating that gives more strength to AoE than it should.

I can't help but suspect that those calling for a nerf to DwG for DoA SC might be people who have already made enough & wanted to stop gems/armbrace prices from slipping further.

Perhaps i m ignorant, I have not seen DwG used outside of DoA SC & Courier runs (I don't PVP).

First make it so spirit spam doesn't completely dominate Rit bars, then I'll care. Untill then, let people have fun with DwG since it's basically either that or spirit spam it seems.

If the concern is PVP, then split it, simple.

I think Anet needs to balance out the elite area runs imo, DoA use to be the hardest elite area, now its like so easy cause of dwg,
but I dont see any teams forming this stuff in UW.

Why would you want to spend 8+ hours in PvE : <.

ur bad kiwi boy! jks
DoA can be done in about the same time without DwG, but with people who can play,

I agree that DWG is just ezmode DoA, its kinda stupid since we can do it without it. I'm all for letting people into these elite areas, but they should actually have to learn to play, not rely on a gimmicky build for the run.

Yep, agree. If worried about it in PVP, split the skill.
PvE aspect...nearly every rit wants to SoS and there are sooo many around now. From what I've seen, very few newer rits can be versatile it seems...SOS/some form of spirit spam or nothing. Makes it hard for those of us who have had rits forever to play our beloved rits sometimes (yes eventhough we're versatile, usually you don't need a party overload of rits. lol.).

As for elite areas...gimmick builds and such are a lot of the problem. How to change that while not killing skills people enjoy for other aspects of pve...therein lies the problem.

DwG gives an alternative to rits for spirit spamming in general PvE. I don't know what the problem is since I stopped doing DoA after getting Obby armor, but is there some way the DoA could be changed instead that would limit the usefullness of DwG there without affecting it elsewhere in PvE?

dwg aint the only alternative though.
its just the only overpowered and abused alternative to SoS rits

DwG is basically ursan without the extra hp and armor (but who need extra armor when you have god mode behind you). If you want a team build that isnt sc but can do doa, well ToA made a physway build that works great in doa and can clear it extremely fast. they have rits necro monks war monk, i dont know the specifics but i believe the rits do alot more than just spirit spam. Anet shouldnt make the "Elite" Area easy just to please casual players, i believe that if that if they learn to actually play the game instead of taking the easy way out they will enjoy GW alot more. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
