“Write something!” – “Anything?” – “Yeah.” And thanks to this super clear assignment, I am now back with a new variant of my column, the “Mecker-Mittwoch”.
From now on, I will vent the gaming frustration of the current week to you, while in return, you can read the wonderful anecdotes of my suffering. I’ll start today with my current favorite game, WildStar.

This is roughly what it looks like when I let myself be tempted to play a round of PvP again. Everything sounded so good and played very nicely on the test realm. [quote_right]But he who laughs last, laughs best.[/quote_right]The new PvP values enable healers to heal more effectively, and Spellslingers have been slightly toned down so they can’t take down everyone in four seconds. But he who laughs last, laughs best, and so the opposite has effectively occurred.
Healers are significantly weaker in PvP than before the patch, even though healing now scales with the new value “PvP Power”. The result is nearly a 40% reduction in healing power, which sometimes brings me close to tears. But I could live with that, since other classes should no longer be able to deal extreme amounts of damage so quickly, giving me two or three seconds longer to help wounded players.
But if there’s a problem, then it brings its entire family, all adopted and in-law relatives, and even invites its holiday acquaintance along. The major “Spellslinger Nerf” turned out to be a buff, and currently, it is possible for pistoleers to deal up to 24,000 damage points with a single ability. In extreme cases, even higher numbers are reached, as this video shows:
Since my Cortyn just reaches 28,000 hit points, you can imagine how long these fights last (Spoiler: Not long!). I don’t even have time to type a desperate “/cry” or “/hug”. Every single match today was decided by which team brought the most Spellslingers to the battle, but hey! They should have their fun too. After the next patch – which is sure to come very, very soon – I will hug and squeeze these little mean pistol Chua. Squeeze them tight. Really tight.
