Seriously…

PU Mesmer
Shadow Arts Thief
Burn Guardian
Taunt/Prot Ward Power Ranger
Autoproc/mightstack cele necro
D/D Ele (recently buffed after being top tier meta for 16 months)
Soldier’s Autoproc Engineer

Can it get much worse?

What other types of toxic specs could we bring into the meta? Maybe next we could make condition mesmer viable in top tier conquest, or perhaps P/D condi thief?

So much of this game is now playing itself, it’s gotten harder and harder to distinguish between good and bad.

I agree its less fun to play since the last big patch, but i think it could – and propably will – get worse. This is just the foretaste of the expansion.

It’s almost ANET’s balance team is made up of all entry-level staff who have no previous experience. I’m sure they’ll fix it to be some other horribly balanced meta in 1 or 2 years though!

It can get worse!

  • Dhuumfire terror necromancer. Complaining about ele’s? When Dhuumfire first came out Necros were literally unbeatable. Super tanky and could melt anyone with any build in seconds. Pre-nerfed Dhuumfire introduced a new tier in profession ranks, God Tier.
  • Turret Engi, they fixed the turret bugs! But kitten , this was annoying as hell. So much CC and just painful, utterly painful to play against.
  • Stun bug, a whole meta revolved around this bug, allowing stuns to last a whole second longer than they should.

but the most painful meta of all goes to…

Immobilize stacking!!! Not only you could get 15+ seconds of immobilize it also introduced the bug of if you get immobilized in the air you are stuck in the air and prevented from using any skills. No one asked for it, no one wanted it but we got it.

Unbalanced, unwanted, not fun and bugged, all in one! The immobilize stacking (pre-nerf)

Who the hell in the development team thought that was a good idea? Can I have his job please? I promise I can do way better. Say what you want about the other painful metas, the buff to immobilize is by far inexcusable.
