Vykas [Hard] Needs to be nerfed

Would probably be used in a static alt run anyways as people would probably have 1460 alts by then.

I guess you’re right.

1460 is extremely expensive to achieve most players who didn’t start as support didn’t swap to support. There were many vocal players who wished to see artist and would swap but we never got her. As it stands it took me 2 weeks and 17 characters feeding a 1400 bard to get her to 1460. But many don’t have that ability or option to have their group hard feed for a support. There will always be a support shortage at the top end until we get large dead periods of content. Players simply dont have the income to make large pushes on classes, on top of support itself being generally disliked by a majority of players you get a perfect storm.

Or just do Normal … normal doesn’t hurt as bad as Hard and doesn’t require support with higher Ilvl gear

You could, but then you lose a large amount of gold and you take twice as long to finish your relic set. There’s a reason there’s so many 1460’s doing NM, whether due to lack of supports for 1460 groups or because they’re bad and cant handle the mechs in HM.

Hard pass. Thanks, though.

That’s not a game problem, that’s a YOU problem.

You dont even need suport for vykas… are these troll post ever gonna stop?

I keep seeing this claim time and time again. Yet no one has ever provided proof for NA clearing Vykas hard 1 2 and 3 without a support.

Yeah because swiper and rmt are known for there great and skillfull gameplay right?

Gate 1 is probably easiest of them all, without support. You just need to learn patterns, maybe you’ll get hit sometimes but you are gonna use like max 1 potion on human form and 4 on demon, that should be enough. I’ve played through it in a grp without support.

G2-G3 has some more BS mechs which you may take damage from but are possible to do without support as well.

It is just that the majority of players want support so they don’t have to care much about general patterns just the wipe mechanics. It’s more chill to play with a support.

This forum really needs a dislike button.

Who

Hmmm, maybe took a look on the history of GW2.

They did it originally so grps without heal/tank could succeed - all it did was make those obsolete…

The way to fix it is giving the community time to adjust. As dumb as it sounds.
People who don’t find grps as DD will reroll to Support and at some point it will be more or less evened out.
Valtan HM has become much better already (still a supp shortage, but not as bad as it was 2 months back) and so will Vykas in a month or two.

If you think there is such a thing as a free carry on Vykas right now with pugs, that tells more about you than it does about supports.

Also: Would you join a grp where the avg is 4x3 and 1462, or would you join the grp where everyone has 5x3 and GS1500?
It is as simple as that! Unless you are in a static, everyone looks out for themselves before thinking about someone they never played with before and probably will never again…

Once you get used to the attack patterns you can easily do Vykas without a support. Only p2 might be a bit difficult, but only if your dps is low.

Soooo you complain about lack of supports, and will decline based on roster level which means literally nothing in this game after 60. Seems a bit stupid to me but hey you enjoy not being able to find supports, I’m gonna continue to easily find supports and run through Vykas.

Well maybe he doesnt want to play freaking support? Stop saying this to everyone who says they are looking for support, man.

Not wanting to play support is fine, but if you’re a full group and there’s no support that probably means they’re bad and supports don’t want to be a part of weak groups when they can get better ones.

@ OP

Not having a static or being part of an organised guild 5 months after release to run your Vikass HM at least for your main is on you, period.

You have everything at hand to be organised. Guess what im managing the google sheet of a whole guild of 60 players and at the VERY least i pull off 7 HM groups, best raid took 35 min to clear all 3 gates and are already bored of hard mode because when you play seriously and know patterns it is just easy.

Then we have an alternate google sheet for big alts to run even more raids, its smaller groups of like 5-6 people and all do the same, two deaths = kick, rince and repeat and like that it takes 2h to clear a HM even with alts.

Main recruitment rule for my guild was that everyone must have a main alt support to ensure we will run content all the time.

That was an advice from all KR veterans and we religiously followed it. And it worked out perfectly fine.

So as a lot of people said its a YOU problem.

To conclude : vikass is the last ā€œeasyā€ raid we will have, then comes kakul and Brelshaza. If you cant organise or be friendly enough to organise quick and smooth easy raid like Vikass, better stop LA right now cause it wil get way worse for you when Kakul is released.

hahaha Don’t look for excuses to justify something. Whoever dies at such a level for Argos means that he doesn’t play the game at all, maybe once a month
