Guild Wars 2

I think that is a new record against my mesmer, who admittedly has only got 2250 armor so is a bit squishy.

This new spike damage meta sure is fun to play, my mes can seriously wreck people when it gets going.

Grats to the warrior that pulled that one off- I’ll repay the favour soon:-)

I’ve seen 36k backstabs from thieves.

To do any kind of damage similar to other classes 2250 is pretty much the maximum armor an elementalist can have. In my opinion this latest update is a disaster from a class balance perspective.

Even if I spend over 4000 hours on my elementalist and I get downs just as easily and with less risks by running a prototype guardian build from Meta battle and rolling my face on the keyboard. And I have no clue how to play it properly.

Basically risk/reward is gone from this game when it comes to balancing.

Rifle builds are even worse than before the patch. If you get hit by Kill Shot you probably deserved it.

I was defending a gate on my mesmer against multiple targets and probably had too much concentration on the ram and not enough on the other 5 players down there- was an excellent shot by the warrior as normally he’d be blocked half the time. So yes, I probably deserved it.

as for’ I’ve seen 36k backstabs from thieves.’ I don’t have 36k of hp so never seen one that high myself:-)
