Why all the hate on the "Wombo Combo"

For all you who dislike the so called "Wombo Combo" ask yourself this, was it really so bad? The nightstalker class was an amazing addition for the Hunter, especially since they lacked what is needed for a so called "PvE class" back in year one. All is good in this subclass but one thing, the grenades! The only somewhat effective grenade is the vortex grenade, and without lockdown it's almost completely useless. Using the smoke grenade (while sacrificing invisibility for poison) [b]with[/b] the vortex grenade made an excellent and effective grenade for a subclass without one. But at what cost? You have to use both your grenade charge and melee charge, along with a slot that can give your allies bonus armour and recovery, or drop more orbs. To me this seemed like a balanced combo since alone these two grenades were almost completely useless. Especially in a world where both other classes have a grenade that can either one hit you, or cause some serious damage. Edit: I have no issues with Walocks and their firebolt. For a hunter I am also pro warlock, just though I should clear that up since so many ppl assume I complain about that.

  • Honestly I rarely get kills with it/get killed by it. It's fair

  • Nothing is wrong with the wombo combo. Just because it is maybe annoying doesn't make it op.

  • They need to nerf the movement debuff *slightly* and range of smoke *slighy*. A hunter getting a smoke that good every 28 seconds or so is a bit OP.

    • I for one do not use the class. When I do, I think it's fair. As OP mentioned, it takes both charges. Titans have the one hit mele (depending on armor), warlocks get shield, mile hit, and even health back. That's just for the strength charge. Blade gets stab, and throwing knife. Because of this, I think it's fair. I don't think at all its OP.

      • I don't mind the wombo combo, only thing I mind is the effect that smoke grenades have. The only thing thats messed up about it is the ability to slow people down and not allow them to jump. People are stupid enough to say get out of the way but be -blam!-ing honest. You cant just move out of a smoke grenade because a smart hunter will get you before you even have a chance to fight back. Wombo combo is only op because it stops a player from moving. Take that away and I could care any less, spam that shit if you will but smokes should not slow a person down.

        • The only problem in pvp right now is the fact that the warlock doesn't have an evade. I mean the supposed slow take class can jet left and right.. loll. Like that makes any sense at all..

          • People really complain about this? It's absolutely fine as it is. If you die to WomboCombo it's cause you weren't paying attention and let that hunter get the drop on you. Literally any sticky grenade is better than WamboCombo. Just because you die in an 'annoying' way doesn't make it broken.

            • Looks like what the warlocks say to make it sound like their grenade isn't OP lol.

              • Its just cheap that people have to throw a nade/melee to slow you down to kill you. Like the nade is fine its the slowing down which is the killer

                  • So wait, what is the "Wombo combo" exactly? Just using your grenade and melee at the same time?

                  • The only problem I have with it is that you can throw both at basically the same time. At least let me have time to react and try to prevent death. Right now it's basically a guaranteed kill every 30 or so seconds depending on cooldowns and such.

                  • Wombo Combo isn't even bad. Unless you get caught off guard or have the reflexes of a sloth, you should be able to avoid it. Also, if you are in a Wombo combo, you just took away their grenade [i]and[/i] melee energy just for [i]one[/i] kill

                    • I don't care about it except why is there melee another grenade? Doesn't make sense.

                      • I wouldn't say that vortex is the grenade I would use with wombo combo because I like banking voidwalls off the walls and then throwing my smoke because I get consistent double kills. But I totally agree that wombo combo is fair because it normally gets you 2 kills for a melee and grenade which is how it should be anyway
