Guild Wars 2

Just wondering what everyone’s thoughts were in regards to the ferocity change?
do you think it is going to effect game play especially for high DPS classes that rely on crit.

Have recently just gotten another one of my characters to level 80, a warrior this time round, and am hesitant how to gear him, what to buy etc, so will most likely just wait for the new roll out, to see how it effects game play.

Have recently started playing WVW a lot as well, so spent a load of gold on gearing my thief up to a heavy crit dmg WVW build, wondering if that was a decision i’m going to regret soon as well, only time will tell i guess…..

So, whats everyone’s thoughts and opinion’s in regards to this change, is it for the good, how do you think it is going to change the game play, interested to see what others think about this.

Cheers.

Berserker’s gear will be weaker when ferocity is rolled out, but it will still be the highest dps set in the game. If you want damage, go for it. If you want to actually experiment, I’d suggest waiting.

The Ferocity change, at least in terms of what is best for what situation, changes nothing. Berzerker will still be king of PvE. Condition Damage will still be meta for WvW/PvP.

What it DOES do is flatten the curve of spike damage for Berzerker, which I suspect is so that they can better scale all stats for vertical progression down the road (I don’t like that idea, mind you, but that’s my best guess).

Ferocity hurts all sets that use crit dmg (e.g Cavalier, Valkyrie, Celestial), not just Berserker.

I understand why its neccessary though, they can’t scale critical damage properly compared to other stats, and it creates balance issues.
