Guild Wars 2

I would like to know just WHAT encounters exactly were “trivialized” by quickness.

I couldn’t find a single one that wasn’t trivial without quickness and trivial with.

same. the only one close is slave driver and 1 encournter = nerf everythin?!?

quickness was OP everywhere from pve to pvp. I’m glad they nerfed it.

quickness wasn’t. timewarp was. when I first heard of time warp, I knew it was an elite (so it should be better than most utility skills), so I guessed it would last maybe 4-5 seconds. NOPE. much better than that.
personally, I would prefer twice as long at 1/2 the effect to how it was. instead, they just dropped it to 1/2 the effect :P so now TW is normalized, but all other quickness skills last half as long as they should.

You forget TW has a 210s CD with no way of reducing the CD whatsover. And how was TW overpowered? Can you quote specifically which encounter TW trivialized, apart for COF P1? Taking a slightly shorter time to kill a boss is not the same thing as “trivializing”.

It would be cool if they increase the duration of non-TW skills, but i don’t feel so awesome with a 10 sec frenzy :P

TW made a tiny portion of average clear. I think the only encounter affected by the haste nerf is Simin. Most bosses in this game have obscene amounts of HP anyways so a 10 sec quickness on a 210 sec cd hardly made or broke the fight.

People think time warp pushed lupi speed runs short, but it was actually feedback.

The haste nerf is quite frankly collateral damage from spvp/wvw related problems where burst like that actually gets people gibbed.

Everyone who saw the 1:24 minute kill knew it was feedback (coupled with 3 frenzy warriors) that made the speedkill, not TW.

Quickness I believe was more of a pvp fix (I say fix because it was too strong), while not affecting pve at all. As anet has stated, though they can nerf pvp/pve only and separate abilities, they rather not, which I agree with.
