Guild Wars 2

It seems to me that every build that was posted -guide and video- of a really solid build soon got nurfed, not saying that is the only way things get nurfed, just saying every time players have gravitated towards a build some one discovered Anet nurf it.

What do you guys think?

Rule to success : Dont tell people everything you know

This is a fantastic way of going about things.

When someone finds an awesome build and beat you with it you go “Wow!”
When someone popularize that same build and every other player runs around with that build you start to realize that the build is carrying really bad players to victory.

That’s when it’s time to hit it with the nerf bat.

Classes balancing is a very hard subject to handle. While it seems that it may introduce an undesired nerf into that specific class or build, it is meant to create an even distribution about win and loose while using that class.

I don’t know how ANet sees the class balance distribution, but it needs to be similar to other classes. Let’s talk about D/D Elementalist a while ago (before the class balancing). With that class “flaw”, the Elementalist was provided with a unfair advantage towards other classes and it should appear in K/D distribution pushing for a K/D increase. Statistically, the class needs a nerf of somesort!

Class balancing is not a process of “That player is QQ about get beaten and bullied by X class, so its nerf time”. Class balancing is done accordingly to statistics. Obviously when some builds shift the distribution when found, its time for a tone down. It’s always easier to tone down one class, than to boost seven!
