Guild Wars 2

I know one of the most exciting things I was looking forward to with this recent balance patch was the addition of the barrier mechanic to some of the core professions. Where is it?

The only thing I can think of is that they’re dividing the patch into 2 separate ones. Either to more easily parse issues with the ammo system or to gauge the balance implications of a smaller patch before change things further; perhaps both.

I guess it’s also possible that we were wrong about barrier being added to core. I don’t remember where we were told that would be a thing.

WP said that some core skills would be getting barrier. I guess we have to wait until PoF drops to get those changes? It seems silly to have such a huge balance patch and then not include everything in it all at once. So I don’t understand why the rest of the changes didn’t make it, unless ANet is still trying to decide if that is balanced or not
