Guild Wars 2

Elaborate please. Does this mean all AOE, including Greatsword attacks for Guardians and warriors? Most my attacks are ‘aoe’ and I use them single target as well.

i’m more worried about hammer + longbow on my warrior, lol.

but in general, i think they’ll mostly nerf ranged AoE damage. point blank stuff still has a high risk for the reward.

So essentially there is no point in playing a staff ele now? Talk about nerfing a class out of existence.

where did you hear about this aoe nerf?

If they actually boosted some single-target damage a little along with it…we’ll see. I just hope my poor lovely necro won’t take even longer on single targets now.

Burl if you didn’t watch Gw2TV they said a class “cough” elementalist ofc got 6 viable builds so L2P ?

Live stream. AoE is getting nerfed across the board it sounded like.

Weaker AOE = longer to get loot out in the open world for many people.

Just what the game needed. =P

Stop complaining about your ELE’s with 1 or 2 AOE attacks… What about us necromancers?

ALL our staff skills are AOE. except the number 1. But Skill number 2, 3, 4 AND 5 are AOE…

Good fight necro…

I’m more complaining about the nerf in general. I don’t think many people thought this was an item that needed to be looked at to begin with.

I wouldn’t be worried about nerfs unless your an Engineer. Specifically of the grenade variety.

If you read the dec 14th patch notes, you will know they will be nerfing AOE with low to no opportunity cost.

I thought AoE was alrdy nerfed to the point it has practically no use. Right now AoE hits max 5 random targets at a time..

Of the 20 abilities spread amongst the 4 attunements on dagger/dagger, 11 can do damage to more than 1 target.

What is the nerf excactly? I missed that part :s Because seriously… I use a staff all the time on my necro, if they nerf AOE, they nerf the number 2, 3, 4, 5 skills…

Terrible Anet!

I’m fairly certain they only mean the kind of AoE that lays various kinds of circles on the ground; the kind that actually suffers from the target limits.

Which AOEs in pve are too high/ strong and why are they considered to be that?
O.o

…so they’ll nerf well necros. Oh, and Condition Necros using scepter/dagger. Awesome >_>. That’s one of the few viable builds we currently have…

I don’t see a reason to nerf the ground targeted stuff. Honestly I can’t think of any on any of the 8 professions that are so good they need to be nerfed.

I didn’t think wells suffered from hard target caps.
