Guild Wars 2

I’m seriously laughing at the people saying dungeons will suddenly become fun now that FGS is nerfed. Guys, the mechanics are still the same.

If anything already boring encounters will only become even more awful…

FGS barely made them tolerable.

I agree with this. It’ll be fun for a week or month but after that back to the same thing.

Can’t play right now. Did this change already happen ?

Why would it be fun for a week or even more? It won’t be fun at all, average dumb pugs will simply ask for one more warrior rather than an ele. Not to mention that seriously, you only and always had an ele in your team when speedrunning? I didn’t and I can tell you, it’s even more boring and 0-skillful gameplay.

It’ll be fun creating a new routine/tactic if you can call it that. Pugs will suffer the most, as they were just starting to actively pick up the fgs meta. Poor pugs

No pity for the pugs. The amount of time it takes them to “pick up” stuff makes me wonder if humans truly are becoming dumber each generation

Wait, you had PuG eles that use FGS ? Don’t tell me they might stacked too.

Jokes aside, for pugs that’s not going do that much. FGS nerf is probably the least of their worries.

The mechanics are still the same, and now without Fiery Greatsword you’ll actually have to learn them.

Please colesy don’t make this game something that is clearly not.

well, i’m not in a super hardcore guild like Ren or DnT, but i must say, this is going to make me quit my elementalist. i understand why Arenanet finally got around to it, and i know they’ve been aware for a long time now, but i suppose they decided it was time to make everyone hate eles again, and good job. time to main my warrior in dungeons again, since their nerf to GS is no where near as extreme as the ele nerf.

Oh come the freak on. Eles will be fine. Don’t give up on them so easily. They have several things going for them without FGS

What if I told you that Anet does not give a copper about what happens in dungeons?

This change is directed at dungeons. Well, mainly fuelled by the casual reddit crowd and the constant speedrun videos there spamming FGS, but still it’s not like the focus of this change is dungeons anymore than it is appealing to the majority.

Should I go add /sarcasm to my first post? :<

What I like best about my Ele is the might/fury stacking rotations, LH, and Ice Bow. Pressing 4 in a corner never really entertained me as much as the plethora of other things I could do with my ele that forced me to tie my fingers in knots trying to pull them off while watching for tells to dodge.

Also to any math people out there, will FGS still be a DPS increase? or is it going to simply not be worth using outside of getting the extra evade frames and mobility?

No, FGS will not be a dps increase

So, with all this… can the champion ice wolf thingy from CoE get an animation for his aoe frozen ground thing?

ANet would never give us an advantage.

Zelyhn Lekovitch.2867:

Cool, was just curious if anyone had run the numbers, figured it wouldn’t. Still might find myself using it for the mobility.

No, because I’m pretty sure there are a lot of people thinking that way

Theres still icebow sploits. Cant wait to see people complain about those when they become public knowledge.

And dont forget reflects. We need all these obviously broken things nerfed so we are forced to enjoy the exciting dungeon content that we have missed out on for 2 years.

winterchillz.2564:

Wow, PvE is now challenging, fun and interesting, yay, who would guess you only need a damage nerf to make dungeons viable again!

either you dont know what viable means or I dont and people are still going to breeze threw dungeons if they know the paths

Oh come the freak on. Eles will be fine. Don’t give up on them so easily. They have several things going for them without FGS

They will be fine but itd be nice to have an elite id actually use now that fgs isnt here

wait is this change already in the game?

Arenzo.3298:

no.

FGS can still be used for mobility, GoE is still useful even if only used situationally.

So, engis will be in most of the new record runs?

a agree with this cookie

At least we still have tidal wave!

It already has an animation, for both the leaps tbh and it’s a rush just like Korga’s.
I suppose that when stacked in melee range it really makes no difference as it will simply go BOOM!
Better bring that dps as that wolf is pretty easy to melt with or without FGS.

Bait the leaps, count 10 bites, gtfo, laugh at pugs.

Yay ele is back to having no good elite skills.

But don’t get me wrong I do not think it was okay as is… but really. Might as well just slot elementals.

Just like most classes…

Mesmer time warp. Warrior banner. Ranger rampage as one. Sall I got.

(((Huddles with Spoj in a dark corner awaiting the Necromancer announcement ))

anet said something about necro need more survivability 0.o I think the best necro will get is that cleave on dagger :*(

Time Warp on Mesmer, Signet of Rage on Warrior, Rampage as One on Ranger, Supply Crate on Engineer, Lich Form on Necromancer (it is actually pretty strong)

That’s kinda it.

Maybe, just maybe, they meant giving us more easy access to stability and vigor.

By “boring encounters”, do you perhaps mean fights where you stack in a corner and face roll on your keyboard to quickly deal with all the enemies and possibly avoid dealing with their mechanics?
Because you can, I don’t know, NOT do that, if you wish.

FTFY

Jiyn.3158:

Rampage as One on Ranger,

AHAHAHAHAHA

deSade.9437:

Jiyn.3158:

Rampage as One on Ranger,

AHAHAHAHAHA

? It’s a decently long stability.

Its also very long cooldown. Maybe if it had similar uptime to warrior signet it would be decent. But then that would be a bit much for stability i guess.

Entrangle is better I’d say.

Axelwarrior, there are only a small percentage of encounters who are actually interesting and not boring.

FGS being nerfed doesnt change that.

Yeah, but it’s getting a nerf.
It’s totally ok for a kittening warrior to have kitten immobilise on like a 20s cd, but for a kittenING ELITE 6s ON A kittenING 60s COOLDOWN IS MUCH BETTER. Cuz ranger.
An ELITE.
Meh, whatever. I don’t care. I don’t care about anything anymore. They can burn.

I couldn’t even imagine people thinking RaO is good. It’s good if you suck at skipping in arah p2 and you need 20s of stability to get through, yeah.
God.
5-8 stacks of might and 20 secs of fury. 120s cd.
God. Too gud.

Yup.
Or you reroll warrior and facerofl your way through just as before. A bit slower, but even easier.

that leaves out 3 classes guard, ele, and thieves so i wouldnt say most classes dont have good elites
