Guild Wars 2

Could a dev chime in? How will non playable characters (bosses, single enemies in the PvE world) be affected by this update? Not at all?

That’s my guess, as I doubt they are tied to a specific PC stat combo…or PC rules for that matter.

I suppose if I get no answer I’ll have to take some notes on Crit heavy bosses now for comparison.

Don’t worry, bosses and ennemies won’t be affected, they will still hit as hard as they do now, the nerf will only affects players.

So…..are trying to say that there STILL won’t be a reason to run non-zerker? Dang! I was just getting ready to start building my PVT/Cleric set with all the uproar…I’m glad you set me straight!

The dev confirmed that non-80 map mobs will be adjusted to match the new trait restrictions for low-level players. I believe this synergises well with the crit nerf and may lead to the identical post-nerf experience.
