Guild Wars 2

the 300% power is gone.
is this intended? because the 100% precision still works, when i have fury.

Seems like elite skills are having some tooltip issues. May not actually be nerfed.

it is nerfed/changed. before the feature patch i had 4000+ power when i used tome of wrath and 100% critchance, solo. now the 300% power scaling doesnt work anymore and the precision scaling only works when you have fury/banner.

All power enhancing elites lost thier additional power. However all skills of those elites have (or atleast should have) been rebalanced so that this change shouldnt effect them. Meaning the damage should still be the same.

then they shouldnt say “dmg increased by 10%” when its actually a nerf.
before the feature patch tome of wrath made sense combined with conjured weapons. now its even more useless than before.

Why? how much was your damage prepatch? How much is it now?

Why?

you could pick up conjured weapons after using tome of wrath. with party buffs you were near 5500 power and 100% critchance.
that was probably the only reason why you would use it in PvE.

I know why.

This is why they changes how it works. They did this to lich form, tornado, rampage, and so on. The did this specifically so players would no longer be capable of exploiting it, and causing the buff of the skill to effect skills out side the scope of the elite.

Yup^^

Can’t throw out a channel skill and then swap to a power enhancing elite to exponentially buff its damage. Same was done to every racial elite so that no stone was unturned. The elite’s themselves were unchanged in damage as they buffed the skills there, but they do not grant power anymore.

Fwiw i reported this as an exploitable bug several times over the past 2 years and it has only just been fixed.

Basically a dps guard with shield of wrath could one shot any class by activating the shield, casting tome of wrath and JIing to target landing 25k+ of aoe damage ( in wvw, about 16k in pvp) when it burst.

Glad it was fixed. Shame it was only fixed incidentally because of abuses of Ele elite.

They shouldn’t “fix” the elites like this. Why shouldn’t a player be able to link together aspects of the elite skills to make other skills more powerful? There is a cost to doing this, and it adds a dynamic and creative edge to the combat. Nerfing this, simply dumbs down the potential of the gameplay. People who cry about it need to realize that everything comes at a cost.
