Resolve

Wait a second.

You're blaming the system for your shoddy use of your CC breaker?

>.>

Fair enough, sir. Fair enough.

And there you have it. You have full resolve for TWO SECONDS. Do you not see how fatally flawed the system is? You just got CC'd for 9 seconds and you are immune for 2. What a broken system.



There are no hunters in this game. There is no dead zone or minimum range. Ranged deals the same damage from melee as they do from ranged. They don't NEED to kite to deal damage either.

And the other 92% of the time it's on cooldown?

2 second stun generates 400 resolve decaying at 25 resolve per second. Let's say you aren't stunned until the precise moment that the leap stun stops. that's 2 seconds which means you've decayed from 400 resolve to 350. Now you are stunned for 3 seconds which generated 600 resolve and puts you at 950. Let's say they time the stun again to coincide with the end of the previous one. 3 seconds decays 75 resolve putting you at 875 when the 4 second stun hits, generating 1200 resolve and putting you at 2075. You've been stunned for 9 seconds. If you're still alive, you're immune for over 20 seconds.

I agree that this would be frustrating and unlikely that you'd survive 9 seconds of being stunned. However, I still have to wonder where the team is? It's not likely that the stuns are coordinated perfectly, although by considering this we can view an absolute worst case scenario. If your team mates are not controlling the enemy, if they're not healing/tanking you, then I guess you're right- that's a ****** situation. But is that because resolve is busted? And since you aren't breaking CC with the breaker, it must already have been used in the past 2 minutes to take advantage of resolve in anther situation.

Assuming you have a team worth anything, you would come out of the 9 seconds of stun to enjoy a further 16 seconds of cc immunity. Enough time to walk almost half of the huttbal field while snared.

I'm just going to leave that there. Again, I'm not saying anythign one way or the other about the effectiveness of the system, I'm simply painting the picture for others to comment on. Frankly, I don't think this scenario is that absurd in a group setting where you've just used your CC breaker minutes earlier.

I know how it works. I'm saying that it's a terrible system for working this way. The decay in particular is a crippling flaw. They clearly intended for 2 hard CCs = full resolve but that's not how it's working out in reality.

You suggest about how your team should be helping you, but remember many CCs are aoe. Many people could be suffering from this terrible resolve implementation at the same time. Often, many are. PvP is a CC fest for precisely this reason.

The reason people ***** about resolve is smart player know how to use the system to their advantage and bad player blows their CC breaker early or blows all their stuns right away to give a person full resolve while only being stunned for 4s.

I am not saying there's a dead zone for ranged dps. I'm saying that a ranged player doesn't want a melee player in their melee zone. Do you really not understand this? Do you play a sniper and prefer to tank a maurauder while shooting at point blank and making no effort at kiting? Maybe I don't understand ranged!

Yes, full resolve for 2 seconds. But you can't be damaged while mez'd, otherwise the CC breaks. Are you suggesting that you should be immune to any mez after a short stun?

More Resolve QQ?!

I have yet to see on any livestream or any fraps video... someone being stunned or CC'd with a full resolve bar...
