Are zaps meant to be the backbone of group combat these days?

Yeah they hurt, should have gotten someone to salt you!

I don't think zaps are the backbone of group combat quite yet, they're mostly used to snipe at people sitting at the nexus with guards, etc.

Sniping, yeah. It still feels like an unintended consequence of the gradually increasing number of demi-gods. I really doubt zap was ever intended to be used for instantly ganking high-level combatants. I know I'm not the tankest guy out there, but it's still getting ridiculous.

PS: It was not instant (though that is not to say it could have been). There were a few seconds between the first and last, and if you had been in your body you'd have had time to sip / sparkle / shield (thus, no dying).

I was referring to last night, not the above log, sorry. There was barely even time sip, and I really regret that I wasn't logging. ):

Maybe one of you has a log showing when zaps started and my deathsight?

No, but Liveforest went up the moment we entered and that slowed things down a bit.

Uuuuh, not a log of zapping my sleeping body, I mean while you were killing the avatars last night.

2.55 seconds from the time you entered till he was dead.

2.55 seconds from the time you entered till he was dead.

Really though I was being clearer in that post... not that time, Gregori, when they blew me up during the Avatar raid.

Regardless of whether zap is the "backbone of combat" these days...

You went dreamweaving and left your body unprotected. You didn't even bother to have someone salt you. Kind of deserved what you got.

I'm not saying I was unfairly killed there, I certainly wasn't except 6 demi-gods jump in and zap me, but meh. I'm annoyed about instantly dieing with no warning to group zap during the avatar raid, which I sadly didn't have logged. Even after that death, when I came back and you guys had the zaps less coordinated and were just spamming, I could barely keep up with the damage with medicine bag and stag healing whenever I dropped shield for a second.
