Nerf Bulwark please
As I promised someone earlier, I'm gunna write this little thread. Not 100% sure what it does, but all I know is that there's a little Curse thing (if I'm not mistaken, from a charged dps attack) that hurts A LOT and it's OP. Please nerf, ty. I thought this weapon's purpose was supposed to be a tanking weapon, but noooooooo, a non-arcane ring, no samael warrior w/ Bulwark does 5 times more damage than a max geared warrior. Yes, I am crying.
I was using my normal vs warrior build (no DoT whatsoever, which triggers the curse) and was like lolwutOriginally Posted by shinytoy
Today, I entered a pvp room... Saw my friend Freakout kill a bulwark tank... And it took him over FIVE combos to finally kill the tank. There's nothing wrong with that, a tank that's using a tank weapon should tank, but giving a warrior the skill Curse is out of the question. A warrior can beat a mage using NO SKILLS and just charge dps.
I tried using Gale, to get out of reach of the warrior's melee range was the major objective, but they'll get you eventually... And when they do... Small kine gg

Its doing the exact same as the mage curse skill, however mage curse skill got a long cooldown. Makes us mages more useless in pvp.
Rogues got last season arcane shield, warriors now curse like hell, next season warriors will have timeshift rogues will have fireball. Ok gives us juggernaut and aimed shot please.

Not only is the cooldown time 10x shorter, Bulwark's Curse does MORE damage than a mage's Curse... Like, da fook?
Warriors PvP with Bulwark? o.o
I agree totally with this. As i am the OP tank that creamed instant, i understand his pain. Especially when i demolished him right after watching him kill a tank with not only samael, but an arcane maul, arcane ring and full super gears. I have archon ring, grimm, and BULWARK. Yes that is all i need, cos the curse is stronger then the mages. A mage takes as much damage as they deal, and that means having an elon rifle will kill themselves, cos my jugg + proc means i take as much dmg as i want and deal 3k dmg in 0.0000001242 seconds. But perhaps the problem isnt that tanks are becoming OP, because quite frankly, a lvl41 mythic weapon should be better then a lv36 mythic. Perhaps buffing mages in some way, perhaps creating some sort of invulnerabilty to such abilities when using a certain ability? Rogues and tanks are finally balanced in pvp, mages not so much.
I also think mages should get movement invulnerability too. They are supposed to be the stunlock class, yet all other classes have stun immunity which destroys the purpose of mages... Not to mention that they are also the most vulnerable class to stunlock (which now all other classes are capable of) because they are at the disadvantage of no stun immunity. It may mean nerfing mage weapons, but buffing their skills but i think its the best solution to balancing pvp
Perhaps the nerfing of the bulwark could be: once a person has been effected by the bulwark, they are granted immunity to the curse ability for 6 seconds... ? Just an idea
Posts 11-13 ingenious, all coming from a Bulwark user. Praise the lord.
Lmfao
Thats right.
Next level cap, mythic glaive will be back and make warriors become DPSReaper.
U pmed me in game but I was busy. So I feel it's appropriate to pm you here. I'll think about leveling to 16 and thanks for the offer of letting me use ur weapon
Zep / Basic / Titan / OG Night
Oh pls no more nerfing... lol I think the weapon is just fine, just look for an alternative killing style when u face an bulwark tank as a mage in pvp, we never win it all and its a good challenge though. So its alright. Dont nerf the humble shield sword a.k.a bulwark.

Tanks already destroy mages who arent built to kill tanks
As a mage you have a choice, be hybrid build, be vs build, bs vs rogue build, be vs war build... Other classes dont have to play so much with skills to be vs someone in particular
As a hybrid mage, most warriors already can troll me unless its a clash, that curse is really the last thing i needed to encounter in pvp, mages need a buff, warriors do almost as much dmg as i do but super armor hp and jug, rogues the same story they use knife thingy and i cant stun... fix it sts
I remember at the beginning of the Bulwark people were saying "It's too weak!" and STS replied " It's a support weapon ".
Nek Minit.
Bulwark gets buffed and becomes a OP tanking and PvP weapon .-.
So you are ok giving warriors a stronger curse than the mage curse with all subskills, plus it reduces crit -10% with basically 0 sec cooldown?
My suggestion: dont nerf or whatever, just remove the curse, the op healing is more than enough proc on bulwark. Its a total fail design, giving a tanking pve weapon the most powerful pvp skill, which got a long cooldown for a reason. Curse is useless in pve.
