I was wondering what happened to the KOIN and RAWR 80 blob. Is this old skool BG tanking at work?

That's because they probably weren't doing it right. 😉 What server was this? WL has been doing barrage beast meme nights for years but never more than 15-20 at one time.

The counter should be a full minstrel or other defensive stat type build, or a pocket healer with the glass. I have seen some cele on cele action that went on for 15+ min until they both just bowed and left the building. (likely with cramped fingers) The fact that it can only be taken out reliably by a burst stealth spec or another certain specialization which will not be named here, is a problem. The sad thing is I like Cele, and have been using it in builds long before the stat change when it skyrocketed in popularity. But the Might stacking needs to be detuned (like all boon stacking does) or the abusing elite specs do.

Once the might ramps up from the added concentration for the cele spec classes that use it, it can absolutely hurt. It is difficult for most of the one shot builds to down a cele spec abuser target within the time of their one shot CD, as the fight quickly favors the latter as the time of the engagement marches forward. They really need to increase boon degradation, the higher you stack it, the faster it is consumed, than it is now...

Learn how to fight a BOO BALL? You mean turn and run? There are few other alternatives for dealing with some of these BAG Farmers that can even fight comped blobs that are map sized. (Was watching them 2 PUSH the RAWR/KOIN/OJ BG map blob last week) BOO BALL is in the super saiyan phase of its evolution and the ANet WvW BALANCE team cant even balance a mass scale with two 1kg weights on each side. DO BETTER CAL, DO BETTER!

Wait, you want to move to SoS? Well, there is a very NICE guild there. They do have one player though, who I am told is second in command of that guild of NICEness, that loves to msg my guildees at random and spew trash. When they die and cant run away, which is also common, you could literally make a book with the wall of text this NICE person creates. (Which we have, made an ongoing saga) You could say he's a PROFESSOR of text pustulence that is not as mentally DEXTERous as they think they are.

In addition to that, booted out of the game twice as well. Whoever is in charge of managing the EC2 instances should be put on notice. Same for whoever is in charge of making a BETA and WVW RUSH event happen simultaneously without having approval for the resource ceilings to be raised on said EC2 and associated resources if that is what happened....

I never said anything about "afraid of dying". I made an observation based upon the perception of and experience of fighting "good" WB's from the WvW community and my own experiences. I stand by it. You can also substitute and for as if that helps your interpretation of it.

A good WillBender can handle almost anything as they can kite away when they cant

WillBender needs its own vote...

This %%%%1000000%%%%! They should do a NO RALLY week event where you have to earn your rez. The rally "dodgeball" mechanic is flat out awful in WvW. Downstate is fine as is if you remove the RALLY aspect of it. PLEAS PLEASE PLEASE ANET, people have been asking for this for years!

While I hope most of us would love for PPK to have a bigger role in the scoring and KDR more weighted in the server balance algorithm, there is another problem. There are very few fight guilds in the old sense left for a competitive tier. Most of them have become "bag farmers" and only want to chase down and farm PUG groups as the WvW Balance team has given them every tool necessary to be able to do so with impunity. These groups would just find a way to game the system to stay in with their PUG prey and get their 500+ bags per RAID. Its amazing to watch the farmers at work, hopping from map to map chasing the PUG BLOBS trying to get away from them. And when the farmers cant hop to the content filled map, trolling in team chat and pulling EWP's to lure people off maps so they can get to their preferred quarry. I understand why they feel the need to resort to such trollist methods as they for the most part stacked to ONE server and any server they are linked with "just gets in the way". I see great things coming for the WvW game mode in 2024. I would dare to think that somebody, somewhere, thinks that empty servers on a dead game mode might lower the AWS bills a bit and save some on the bottom line....

I would like to know what this mythical ranged boon ball is that you speak of? And Yes, let's nerf those Aura ranges to put a dent in the god tier melee super saiyan boon ball...

At least it's finally living up to the name "Guild Wars" 2...
