I hated when a single a**hole 12k hp sorc defends his turret and flies back right after he's dead, dots all again, dies another 7th time and back and dots and die and back and dots and die and...

About stealth...it works because it's harder to cap a door that is getting zerged and AoE spammed than it is to cap a door with no one noticing you (or getting 1v1ed)
I talk about rated warzone not some random warzone. So you should fight again good team. They would spam dots and los and spam it again and again and again. Good luck with your 8 sec cleanse.

Edit: if you fight again a team who doesn't protec a door you aren't fighting a good team.

Can't AOE while dead, your dots keep ticking though. Nice try. Face the music, you abused a broken mechanic and now that it's being removed you're afraid that you can't hack it. Pretty sure there's a support group for that.

There's a reason no other game allows dots to break objective casts, Inexperience was the only reason ToR allowed it in the first place.

What part of you only need to cleanse 1 person to cap a door is hard to understand? If all the DoT spammers are dead, you cleanse 1 guy, send him to cap, everyone else CCs rezzers. They LoS, they're not spamming anything.

Pretty sure I play a Sentinel and as you pointed out earlier there's nothing there to abuse. Or were you wrong there?

I didn't abuse anything. It was a mechanic put in there intentionally, I occasionally used it to buy a couple seconds. That's not abuse.

Like I said, I have yet to see anyone outside of this thread QQ about this (P.S. I'm on your server, I know who you are, not impressed, especially since you never seem to be around)

Edit: whatever though. I never saw it as an issue, no one I know has ever complained about it, but Bioware is going to cater to the QQ anyways

This assumes you not only have a class there that can cleanse but can cleanse that particular type of DoT damage. I can be healing a couple of dps that are taking a node or trying to plant. However, there are long-lasting DoTs I cannot cleanse including the grenade. As a result, under the current system, we can still be prevented from capping that one point by a guy who went to the GTN and bought a grenade.

BINGO! You won't even see that in GW2 if they implant any kind of objectives to cap in a bg or something.

Read the posts. The person is talking about Rateds. No smart team will bring 1 class for both heal spots

You should read more about GW2 btw. The competitive mode is conquest and you don't click to cap

This assumes that both healers are at the same spot. In alder for example, you could have one defending a node with a tank while the other is healing the attacking group. I understand that there may be more than one type of healer in a rated wz but you are assuming both healers are in the same spot at the same time.
