Guild Wars 2

People shout out to nerf D/D eles by asking burning dmg to be nerfed, or celestial amulet. There are other classes which rely on these profession-independent variables. Why not suggest a fix by replacing some skills to prevent power creep, or maybe some durations? Like, why people rant so much without focus? Just rant and don’t give suggestions to fix the actual class?

You know, that’s why ANet just ignores whiners, for all they do is mindless “nerf pl0x OP hurdurr” crying.

Forum warriors are an important aspect of every MMO, they’re necessary to maintain the level of entertainment on the forum and in game, don’t you enjoy the multiple usage of the forum warrior elite : nerf pl0x OP hurdurr shout?

Okay well, on this note, I will say one thing. Burning does like 4:1 of the damage of other conditions. For the most part, some issues would be fixed if burning damage went down a bit (even if compensated with duration so the dps didn’t change) and Poison/Bleeding/(and to a lesser extent) torment went up. This would in fact reduce the burst condition damage of Burn Guardian (sorry burn guards, but it is a touch much, even if you are happy you finally made it into the meta), and more problematic, the D/D ele. Almost every other condition class/build relies on multiple conditions, so taking the edge off of burn and spreading it out a bit would be a huge boost to less fortunate conditions and help with the dire burn issues.

That said, Ring of Fire is too much haphazard fire-and-forget damage, and their condition removal/sustain is too high (in terms of D/D Ele).
- Remove the evade of Burning Speed.
- Find a way to nerf how much condition removal water provides without killing it.
- Remove blinding ashes. Just isn’t necessary to have ever more sustain/protection on ele, in their DPS line of all places. Not to mention due to the haphazard nature of burning, its a highly unskillful defense. (RoF, Fire Aura, etc.)
- Ring of Fire to 2 stacks. Less haphazard damage for a 50% uptime ring.

I’d be happy with that. Sorry if it offends anyone but that’s my general thoughts and reasoning.

Well, but they’re annoying. As if ANet would suddenly nerf cele and burning. They go to the wiki, read ele traits and D/D skills, and give input on what should be changed so cele D/D becomes more balanced.

I don’t think they would do that for Burning Speed, but Blinding Ashes and the rest looks reasonable for me.

in order to nerf ele they MUST nerf ele traits and skills otherwise if they tone down game mechanics they gonna nerf other specs too resulting in eles still sitting on top

it’s not rocket science
