Just a small edit of an Engineer raid boss war in US- Sapphire server. I understand there's an issue of some skill imbalances and dwindling population in MC side. So, Special Thanks to everyone who joined the fight. Hope to see more of this soon.
Please watch till the end. 😄
Cheers! 💙🍻
Side note: If anyone has any good content that you feel will make for a good video, feel free to send me a pm. I'll try to work on it on its merits. No biases, contents from all sides are welcome. Relatable content would help a lot while inserting the cut-scenes though.
Feedback is welcome and appreciated!
No hard feelings towards anyone participating in the war. We're all here to have fun after all!
Following up on @lore's post, I noticed a raging discrepancy in the Test yesterday.
I participated in the Orcinus raid boss war yesterday. First of all: Amazing work Devs! It's certainly a toughie but exciting to try. Nice touch on those phantom defenders by the way.
I'd like to share my experience from yesterday here with all of you guys.
I witnessed first-hand the difference in AOE stuns. Wave after wave of MCs charged at sentinels yesterday, and believe me it's not that they were weak. I inspected mc players across all the different servers; TO, EU, RU, SA. It's safe to say a majority of them had adequate arena gears and greatness gear + accessories with more than +8 amps, lot +10s on an average.
Please correct me if I've got anything wrong:
Paladins jumps into the wave of mcs before they even reach with shield on and apply fetters of justice. All skills and movement locked.
Meanwhile mages tele into the middle of a wave with ennoblement & ethereal barrier on; shattered stones for AOE stuns and back to back gear stuns.
While these 2 classes, jump in and stun, druid comes from behind and roots the whole group.
While a few waves of attacks fail, we try to adapt by stunning them 1st, But a group of BDs just switched on their Spirit of resistance and and rushed at the whole wave stunning the lot of them. Nothing could stop them before they crashed into the wave. No Dark circle, No fear, No blind, no charmer stun, No barb charge, No fear arrow, No Hunter trap. Then comes the cycle of palas, mages and druid once BD charges in. All the while their damage classes pick us off one by one and we're standing there movements locked, skills locked; Not able to do anything just watching as our HP dwindled.
We tried to use the AOE stuns and silences in our arsenal which are few as you've now realized from lore's post as compared to the other faction.
Tried using Dark circle - BDs ran over them, Tried using new Lock skill, Zone of weakness again ran over by BDs.
Even pool of darkness was run over, I had thought that since its a dmg skill BD would be slowed down by that but it is my understanding that Pool also appears as a debuff on enemy and BD skill resists that too? Not sure about this part; Need to cross verify.
I agree hunter fear arrow gave some relief sometimes, maybe a 2s gap to heal myself before dying again.
At one point, I saw a BD parry hunter trap 4/4. Not just the dmg but the stun too; Is that supposed to happen? Does that happen with ranger trap?
I would try to elaborate more on mc aoe stuns but it's just that there aren't any left. I've numbered out all the classes and skills in my head to my knowledge. Before it was Wardens leading the charge with their immortality which still exists but now it's also a BD which resists everything, Shields himself, stuns everyone, Hams and attacks harder than that damn swamp slug. It provides a safety net for all the other players while they're being defended by BDs.
After a few mins, people lost the motivation to keep trying. They were just being stunned and killed back to back with no hope of any counter. Is this how every war or group battle against the sentinels' side will be from now on? Not asking for much, just a fighting chance.
Please don't interpret this as a rant of any sort favoring any particular side. I'm simply trying to assess the capabilities of these new skills and their interaction with already existing ones and how they affect gameplay.
If there's someway you could bring this to the developer's attention, We would be ever so grateful.
@Higgings @Akasha
I wanted to know is there a possibility to ask warspear support team to help with creation (literally to create character on my account)?
Thing is it's been like a month since I can't make that damn elf, it's starting to be quite fatigued not being able to do that (I even gathered all the gear lol).😓
Also I apologize for creating new topic about this, not sure why but I was certain this one was closed. @Higgings
