Long story short: Range and Casters have 100 abiltiies to teleport away and 100 abilities to kite/slow, melee has just one charge that shares CD with everything. GG ascension GG.

Why do they work on ruining melees in game??
Now every melee gap closer shares a CD. Charge, Intercept, Shadow Step, Feral Charge, everything shares a CD!
How are you supposed to get to casters or ay other range when you get kitted and slowe d 24/7??
This is just stupid and pointless.
They keep on buffing casters and range and ruining melee.
Does blink shares CD with anything? Does Arcane Displacement shares CD with anything? Does Disengage sahres CD with anything? I don't think so.
Does any slow shares a CD? I dont think so. Curse of Exhaustion can be basicly spammed 4 sec cd, shares CD with nothing. Mage's Slow is same thing. Frostbolt slow same thing. Shaman's frost shock also doesnt share cd with nothing ,etc.
Range and Caters gets to use all of that and they can kitte/slow melee till death. You gotta think a bit and fix it beforre every melee stops playing since everyother caster here is frost mage.
This needs to stop, melee is very unbalanced nad weak and you keep ruining it.
You keep nerfing melee like it's dominating abd crushing everyone in 1vs1, it's not, when you look at top players 90% are casters and ranged. That needs to be nerfed NOT melee.

I think that making charge, intercept, shadow step, feral charge (every melee gap closer) sharing same cds was a BIG mistake and it sould be brought back as it was. Melee was weak before that against kitters with 100 range now it's even weaker and useless, please get things back to as they were before! This is pointless. You devs are ruining every melee build...

@Gherky
I tried it not long ago on Area 52, it's mediocre at this moment.
Many things doesn't work with Ice Lance Procs from White Walker, like for example Fel Armor healing part from warlock abilities, Elemental Devastation from Shaman Tree, Frostbite from frost mage tree, etc...
I reported it under bugtracker two times, it just get closed without explanation.
So I guess they don't give a fuck about that.

I think that LRE Demonic Influence should make your Metamorphosis be permanent shapeshift instead of having to recast it every 30 seconds. There's not much point into doing that except it's just time and patience consuming.

I mean with just 3 talent points you get 24/7 Metamorphosis, so I think that making Metamorphosis being permanent shapeshift when used (just like bear form, cat form...) wouldn't hurt much and would make people use that LRE more and would contribute to server variations because atm I barely see that LRE being used.

@Legestuen Yeah, I think that devs are much more biased towards casters and ranged, it seems like they don't care about melee players at all.
They just care about nerfing melee and killing it.

Hello,
Short story:
I did a lot of Arena Events and some pople keep abusing the mechanics of it.
I'll name just two for now, Death and Ookamii.

When I am fighting them and when they are about to die they just leave arena so you don't get kill and waste your CDs and time.
After that they just keep doing the same thing. They jump back when they ready and attack you and when they are about to die they just run out again. And they repeat this process.
My suggestion is to add a winning point if your opponent leaves the arena and he should get a DEBUFF for leaving arena so he could not join the arena event anymore.
This would help people from cheating and abusing the current mechanic system.

Long story:
Let me tell you my experience with cheating players named Death, Emanate and Unodosquatro on Area 52.
At 22:30 server time I came to Gurubashi arena for the event.
Only Death was there I attacked him and he ran out from the arena when he was about to die, thus me not getting 1 kill and wasting my time and CDs and he not dying.
After some time two people come to help him cheat.
Emanate and Unodosquatro.
Emanate is a healer he jumps into arena I attack him and he just keep healing himself. As I see that I can't kill him, I leave the fight.
In the meantime Undosquatro jumps in with Death after he left arena to fight beacuse I was in combat with healer.
Death wins the battle.
After 30 secs of Death's arena cooldown I attack him again and once he is about to die he leaves arena AGAIN!
After that he jumos in back with Emanate (the healer) and he lets him kills him @ 22:39 server time. HEaler didn't even have buffs nor casted any spell because they were cheating.
So Death kills his friend healer and gets the reward that they shared. (Screenshot attached: https://i.imgur.com/cdMdF2Y.jpg

This kind of things abusing and cheating shouldn't be tolerable and should be bannable.

I bet that many people are botting and the suspicious AH sellers should be checked and inspected.

Sunder Soul us a nice ERE but it is underperforming compared to others. So it's one more reasn why it is barely used or not used at all.
It should be able to do same damage as Deconstruct (which is also a similar ERE).
I've tested Sunder Soul a lot with few different builds and the most damage in PvP a was able to do was around 900-1000 max.
While with Deconstruct you're able to do like 1.5k up to 2k in PvP maybe even more.

@Battlecrafter Obviously you never played frost mage that does 3.5k to 4k hits with frostbolt in less than 2 sec casts.

Or your builds are just weak.

Just move on from tranquility.
There are many different healer builds that are OP right now.

@canecattivo Same here.

@Battlecrafter Obviously you never played frost mage that does 3.5k to 4k hits with frostbolt in less than 2 sec casts.

@Battlecrafter
Hand of protection allows casters to cast spells on melee without getting hit or being able to be interrupted.
Do melee have some kind of ability like this? No.

They can't silence melee?
Bruh they can have 3 disarms that don't share CDs unlike silences and interrupts that share cds with each similar ability.

EDIT:
Make that 4 disarms when counting the mages talent to disarm when getting hit in melee.
Do melee have a talent that can silence caster when getting spammed with spells? No.

lmfao bruh u dont know nothing about casters here.
In top 30 arena in 1s, like 95% of the players are casters/ranged. Melee is shit at end game.

Caster can 24/7 kite,cc,slow,evade,fear, run. You wont need damage reductions because no melee will be able to get to your melee range if you do it properly.
And casters can use hand of protection to cast freely with no damage reduction at all and to be immune to all melee and spell interrupts while melee don't have anything similar to that against casters.

If you want hard cast, just go frost mage, 1 button caster damage.
Don't use dots with the build, just get all stuns, fears, blind, sap, and no melee will be able to get in your comfort zone.

And yeah, don't forget to pillar hug in arenas!

I bet that many people are botting and the suspicious AH sellers should be checked and inspected.

And months have passed and we still getting shit thrown at melee builds.

A bit outdated but still works.

If you gonna be that in PvP you can say goodbye to being good here.
Everything here is nerfed and made to suit the kitters and ccers (ranged/casters) builds.

Melee at end game PvP becomes pretty much usless.

@Hoaqin Do you get an error after the crash? If yes please take a screenshot and post it.

If you're not running ascension launcher as admin, do so, right click->run as administrator.

I wrote about this few months ago and many people agreed but it's just getting worse and worse.
Devs keep nerfing and ruining melee classes everyday. It's pretty much pointless to be a melee in PvP while you get slowed and CCed 24/7.

In 1s arena in top 30 like 95% of the players are kitters and ccers. That says a lot doesn't it?

Probably cause devs and admins play those classes so they fit the game to themselves, don't they?
Anytime I was able to get into top 10 as a melee the abilities that I was using were getting nerfed every time until my build became useless in 1s against kitters and ccers coincidence? I don't think so.
