Guild Wars 2

Chronomancer- Too much invouln and with stealth it makes mesmer unhittable.

Dragonhunter- They can bunker on mard/zerker ammy and punish all melee classes.

Thief- Too much evades big time. All they needed was condition removal and heal on evade really.

I have yet to see other classes but warrior really needs help. I’m saying this when I main mesmer.

DD only got 1 evade per fight and 1 per 30 seconds, also another 1 per 30 if emptied bar and hit by CC with Hard to Catch on other line. Dodge the Vault with an obvious animation compared to the dodge and then their dodges do less than basic attacks from a Revenant without quickness. Channeled Vigor can be interrupted and if it isn’t it gives 1 more dodge per 16 seconds than Withdraw that can’t be interrupted.

For chronomancer, you have to choose if you want blocks/invuln (shield, well of precognition) or stealth (torch, decoy).

You can’t have it all.

DD was answered by glaphen. Don’t get fooled by the 3 dodges, because their endurance does not recharge faster than before.

Warrior is currently in bad state indeed. They were already borderline before the elite spec, but are now clearly outclassed.

Absolutely right, Berserker is a total dissapointment compared to the other specializations it’s not even a contest. Its the only flaw in Heart of Thorns for me personally. I like the rest of the game.

I haven’t seen that many Berserkers. That to me is a sign that it’s not in good health.

What’s sad is when some warriors say they’re currently in a good spot on another thread.

All classes need to be fixed, and not just the elite specs the core specs also need some looking into.

why do people think DH is tanky? it’s a medi Guardian with less medis and less invuns.

warrior needs baseline fast hands to make zerker an acceptable choice. zerking could use some tweaks too. no CD, or no duration, better burst skills just something. some kind of edge.

Because they have their F3 skill and a leap that heals double the normal if not interrupted, Fragment’s of Faith gives 11 stacks of Aegis per 36 with the trait and massive amounts of CC in general. Also 6 seconds of protection per 24 seconds.

f2 can be interrupted. fragments of faith give agies, but it doesn’t stack and you can’t get ageis from it if you have it. you will get a few blocks from it, but it’s doubtful you’d get all of them. seems about as good as a blind field. f3 is nice, but they often give up the invun on heal or elite. so similar amount of invuns.

I have had no more trouble taking DH down than I would with a medi guard. it’s pretty simple don’t eat the AOE and counter pressure hard and not into blocks. it’s not like the druid, now that is tanky class.

Fragments of Faith lasts 8 seconds, should easily be able to pick up all 5 of the them when they are placed so close. That is their choice to give up them but I still see some take Shelter and Renewed Focus, especially since Renewed Focus refreshes these ridiculous upgrades to the virtues.

I dont agree with this. Now thiefs have again figgting potential and dont die in few hits every time. In current meta as a thief you are only doing +1 fights, capturing or finishing almost dead ppl. No real fight.. Its good that they make him more surviveable.

After Seeing more, I feel that I must correct this. Just remove the thief section I posted as I am now aware one can be hit in-between successive dodges.

This is what I mean with mesmer

I barely even had to shatter. I could make the duel last as long as I wan’t and take the damage I felt like wouldn’t kill me. If I was in a pinch just invouln up my hp.

Sorry about that.

beserker big dissapointment. And yea Chrono is stupid right now…. expecting changes inc. I just hope they dont over nerf/over buff things… cause im likeing the new elite specs. If they nerfed Reap or scrapper into the ground it would suck

DH is not tanking at all its SOOOOO squishy, people just dont know how to fight dh at the moment…. like i am seeing people not dodging traps etc. Like if you are range you should be focusing DH as they flop. DH is Anti melee so any range just destorys it.

Zerker seems poorly designed for the current meta in pvp. Strength,def and arms i think it is are just too good to lose atm.
