Guild Wars 2

I don’t understand what is the reason for this boon to get a nerf. Is one of the best and most strategic buffs of the game, it give you access to more Endurance so more Dodge, so better control over your character if it is used wisely!

This mechanic of the GW2 is what makes combat so much active and better that any other MMO. With this balance patch, everything seams to get boosted, condition damage goes over the top and Rangers, Mesmers, Enginners get a huge boost (almost s surreal). Nerfing Vigor gives less tools of defending our selves and limits the feeling of control in battle.

It’s too easy to get for how powerful it is.

I think this is one of the ways they’re trying to address the constant complaints about the ‘zerk meta’. If you can endlessly dodge there is really no reason to equip any other armor type and minimizes the value of ‘support builds’ (and no, I’m not advocating for or against this idea; this is just my impression of their reasoning).

From a mesmer’s perspective, this is a bit disappointing considering they made Deceptive evasive a grandmaster (because its “super strong” and build defining) and then nerf vigor restricting our ability to utilize it.
