Gpyro ideas

I posted this in another thread and was wondering peoples opinions on it. This is purely about gpyro and not necessarily about fire mage survivability or that they even need gpy to kill but feel free to chime in.

What if they made it so gpy did 10% max health and then your normal pyroblasts had a chance to leave behind a molten fragment which increased its damage by 5% stacking 3 times. Collect all 3 and gpy does 25% but still has the same cast time and youd have to push in to get the fragments.

Id also like to expand my thoughts on this. I dont think the fragments should be a permanent buff where you could sit on them until there is an opening to free cast. In addition im not entirely certain if the buff should be dispellable.

All they need to do is just make mage barriers not absurd so you’re punished for actually facetanking damage lol

Can also go ahead and make flame cannon not benefit gpy cause 55 yard range greater pyro is pretty stupid

Flamecannon along with shimmer are both absurd i agree 100%

Yeah I agree delete it.

Baffles me that they can take shimmer versus almost every comp and don’t just fall over for being unable to blink stuns and/or shimmering to unsafe locations to poly as opposed to kiting. Hard agree.

To be fair shimmer used properly should be being used offensively and defensively at the same time like it was in legion mostly

But ya, mage just needs to die. The fact that frost is the best dampener in game is hilarious as well

Frost mage does aff locks job better

you guys dont know anything about fire mages. xaryu has said repeatedly mages r glass cannons… i think the multi r1 method mage knows what hes talking about…

Delete pyro and perhaps the mage as well.

I got a good idea, when you press greater pyro it starts casting fireball. Awesome fix imo

Could also just increase fire mage damage, delete gpyro and nerf their shields and make them normal again because % based abilities are total trash for the game.

Also think 70% slows are awful for the game. Make frost slows 50%, give them deep freeze back, and reduce their damage slightly.

Goes for chains of ice too.

Keep the one for ret or make hand of hindrance at 50% and increase ret movement speed by 30% for the duration to compensate. Because we’re just really lacking in mobility

I don’t have much nice to say about rets currently, so I won’t even get started.

It’s just good at oneshotting during wings when you connect for few seconds then los, get kited the rest of the game. If you play against them as ele, frostmage or rogue + firemage its easy af to beat one.

But that’s because of how they pushed so hard on nerfing generator of holy power damage and buffed tv so hard to make it feels powerful.

Compared to legion where templar’s verdict, judgement and blade of justice all hit as hard as each other

Next expac mage will still have shimmer and be just as tanky and still have gpyro

But there will be something that dwarfs how OP gpyro is
