Guild Wars 2

Pertaining to PvP / WvW , if you see just about every “Balance” patch or update.. they do what ever they feel is “necessary” for the game. I don’t think they ever listen to the suggestions of the players and veterans that post their opinions on the forums. This place is literally useless at times cause it’s nothing but more disappointments with every patch. My friend said that they (Anet) knows most of their money comes from PvE and Raid content. So if you’re expecting a buff / balance within the PvP community you can just kiss that dream goodbye. Keep sharing your thoughts though. It’s not like they’re taking it up for consideration. All they keep doing every patch is buffing condition builds and nerfing cast times ,cooldowns and damage. While boons like protection and conditions like fumble still exist in the game.

I would venture to say all their money (aside from sales of the expansions) comes from the gem store. The gem store is not tied to a “game style”. So this isn’t about “doing stuff” for PVE and not PVP (or any other combination of game styles). They make changes based on what direction they are trying to push the game. And, the money to pay for that comes from every player across every game type that uses the gem store.

You shouldn’t encourage people not to speak, just because you don’t like the balance they decide to do. All the balance they try and do makes sense. The problem is a lot of the forums are never asking for balance, they just like to use that word to push the changes that benefit them.

Ok so for a skill under Skirmishing for ranger. They removed the passive block projectiles on auto attacks with sword (which you’d blocked auto attacks on any melee weapon) , a trait literally no one used.. maybe a hand full of people that even know what it did.. They added quickness to it instead.. Why do they continue to nerf Engineers and not make them viable any where? And what about elementalist? Classes people would love to play outside of support roles… And they continue to get nothing each patch or just more nerfs. How is that benefiting them? They weren’t even considered the strongest classes to begin with.
When HoT first released it was revenants and Dragon hunters . They could deal a crap ton of dmg from just 2 skills, precision strike and Coalescence of Ruin (rev) ; Test of faith and trueshot (Dragon Hunters) . They already got their deserved nerfs and balancing in number of targets or number of hits.. So why the further nerfs to them? And constantly you see each patch they buff thief condition builds more and more , they even made venom share base line for thief’s.

How in the blue blazes do the Mesmer changes make any sense!?

They literally tossed might directly on phantasms and everyone knows phantasms aren’t effected by buffs. At this point the useless buffs on phantasms are a nerf because even if they do nothing other classes can still strip and convert those coins.

The actually wrote they increased the Mesmers pressure game while only adding instant effects to phantasms thatvwill only buff out burst. The burst dmg of Mesmers was fine and in the coming days people are going to be flooding for Mesmer nerfs.

Instant dmg on phantasms increases burst but also means instant drop out of stealth.

I’m in full agreement with TC at this point
