Guild Wars 2

The last time I played Gw2 was about a year or so ago. I have come back now and made a new character and started trying structured pvp again. This might seem like an odd observation but did it get much more bursty? Like I remember Guild Wars 2 was selling me on methodical combat and not the WoW style pop all cds and mash them keys. I know little about the new elite HoT only parts, but it seems like a lot of spells I do not recognize chunk a lot of health, really really fast. Did PvP get more bursty? or was it always this bursty and I forgot?

Thanks

Burst can be argued over, but it definitely did become more spammy to achieve that burst. Problem is that there are too many defensive boons flying around, so everyone needs to do so much more damage in order to achieve that.

its less tanky.

It’s definitely more than it has been. A while back there was a rework of damage and condi damage that added more burst potential and then there was a more recent change to make it less tanky.

Def amulets removed damage added so…. yeah more bursty
