Dots no longer helpful in defense???????

Gratz, you can spout a win ratio. So can I. Doesn't mean the people you run with don't QQ. You know what, while we're at it, lets make AoE's not keep people from capping, some of those are spammable too.

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.

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.

We're talking about Voidstar specifically. Odds are, the healers are going to be pretty damn close

Yeah because the dots spammers die in few sec and they doesn't LOS. I spam dots and I can tell how it's easy for a sage/sorc to do it and avoid a lot of damage. I did it with my operative councilent, I wasn't spec to spam it and it was still op. Now I heal with my BH and I have one dots (6 sec) and it still OP.

Said in the other thread, will say it here:

Please show me where my Guardian's cleanse button is.

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

Numbers cap faster like wintergrasp or tol barad in WoW? If they decide the do something like click to cap you will never see dots stoping you to cap like TOR right now.

Guess what that player without a DoT now has to do instead of standing in one spot spamming buttons 1 (Tracer Missile), 2 (Tracer Missile), 3 (Tracer Missile), 4 (Tracer Missile), Ctrl+1 (Tracer Missile), Ctrl+2 (Tracer Missile), Sft+1 (Tracer Missile), Sft+2 (Tracer Missile).... They get to go try and control a turret or place a bomb!

The reason why it's most frustrating is that it's a mechanic that continues to affect the tide of battle even when one side is defeated. If you have defenders at a node and I send attackers there and my attackers defeat your defenders before reinforcements arrive...ideally, that should be the end of it.

Right now though, it's not the end of it. There's too many things that cause defense to be entirely too simple right now. (This is why it boggles me how people keep saying this change makes the game "easier". The way it is right now is incredibly simple.)

Many serious PvPers have already raised concerns about Rated WZ's in the future just because with two coordinated teams, planting a bomb or taking a node is nearly impossible. For example, two skilled, coordinated teams in Voidstar typically equals a 0-0 game, just because defense is so easy. Same with Alderaan, the game is decided incredibly fast assuming both teams are reasonably organized.

Changes like this bring us closer to a system where those warzones aren't quite that bad.

I don't get your meaning here. I'm not asking for every class to have a cleanse, but when people say, "Just cleanse them all!" then the fact that not everyone can becomes a relevant point.
