Guild Wars 2

It seems to me that ANET’s idea of balance is to nerf/break every remotely viable build, until every build is equally weak and unfun to play.

What kind of system is that? It’s the number 1 reason why I haven’t played in months, and it gets worse with every patch.

Blame the people who kitten for these nerfs

Blame the terribads who flock to FOTM OP builds instead of coming up with their own. Would you prefer they make it so that you only have one viable build and if you use anything else besides that you’ll be weak?

Balance is extremely important from a PvP perspective, so deal with it and adapt.

Fun is an extremely important part of a game experience. No one wants to play a game where every build for every class feels weak and useless.

So instead you want YOUR build to be overpowered while everyone else suffers under your ultimate dominance? How is that fun for anyone else but you?

This is why most players is using warrior in pve right now because the damage they get for attacking 1 time is higher than some of the utility other professions have on a 1 min cooldown.

And yet I have been using the same build for months, and barely noticed any nerfed abilities.

People “flock” to these because there aren’t many viable builds available. E.g., I play an Elementalist. It’s almost essential to take 30 points in Arcana. How many builds can players “come up with” on “their own” when traits and abilities are like this?
