This is more for those that produce the builds and team compositions who are regularly working with the DPS formulas. I’d do it except I’m not as familiar as others and I’m pretty sure they already have a spreadsheet up and running that would allow them to adjust the boon duration variable.

  • With the existing meta, what’s the current group DPS?
  • What’s the group DPS when Rev only provides 33% boon duration? How about 25%?
  • How about if you drop the Rev for another Chrono?

My initial belief is that while this will be a nerf, it won’t be significant enough that Rev, or any other classes, need to be dropped. I could still be wrong. There’s been no data presented as of yet to show what potential changes could lead to and whatever they will be as devastating (or not) as is being led to believe. If it turns out to be then that’s unfortunate.

It’s not currently related to the dps, since if anything they said they would increase revenant dps to make up for the boon duration. As it stands mesmer can easily pick up the missing 17%.
The reason everyone is saying what they are saying, is if the nerf is bad enough to mesmer you’ll be forced to take 2 to maintain quickness over the whole squad. And when you weigh it out Quickness>Revenant and DPS class>Revenant. The reason they have a place is because you only need 1 mesmer for quickness and 1 rev in that case is more than another dps class and makes things like fury prot and similar easier to maintain as a bonus.
As for other classes people are simply citing the fact that when you throw alacrity into the mix Elementalist becomes the undisputed king of dps ranging 2~8k above other classes depending on the fight.
As it stands we don’t have enough information to actually say for sure where the meta will go but, people are taking what we have been told, assuming the worst and extrapolating.

I hope they buff sword 2 enough to dispute the guardian place

Learning English, any correction is very welcome.

these changes should be wvw only no reason for them to happen in pve pve is great atm the most variety in classes iv seen in a realy long while

even tho i agree rev boon dur should be reduced that shuld be really small just to make mesmers take more commander pieces but not enought to make rev non preferable in raids
