Guild Wars 2

Theres the nerf everyone was waiting for.

Discuss in this topic if you want!

:D

Finally! These runes were just stupid. I hope the nerf is enough.

2% damage and 5% duration. A small nerf, but I’m sure the rage will ensue.

How to encourage people to buy more perplexity and/or melandru runes: nerf the strongest rune and leave the 2 other major ones exist.

er… 50% base duration. Dropped from 10 seconds to 5 seconds. It’s a decent nerf — not unfair at all, but still a decent nerf.

I for one am glad. I’ve wanted to get a set but I’m not willing to pay 19g each. More than happy to take a small stat cut if it means these are no longer the meta and prices can come back down a bit.

Yeah, it’s still a very powerful set. It’s relatively trivial to keep the 5% bonus up permanently, and the duration boost for might is still tough to pass up.

It’s still going to be one of the best runes for DPS period. Hopefully this will simply bring the price down from… what was it like 100g for 6 last I checked? Ridiculous.

A nerf was needed to this rune I think, but I’m not sure they nerfed the right thing. Was the “on hit” might really what people were getting this set for? I was under the impression that was just a minor bonus and the main draw was the 45% might duration boost, which is unchanged and remains the only boon duration bonus that high in the entire game.

This. Was it too much work for these lazy kittens to balance perplexity aswell? I know, I know, this is WvW-related which Anet just doesnt give a kitten about. but still, how hard can it be?

Never been more happy about a nerf. Totally needed (and expected).

Expected but undeserved. QQers got their way again.

The duration is still too long compared to the other one type boon runes.
