Glider Druid Heals For The Win!
So you all cried about diamond skin enough to have it nerfed good job! Next you will cry about druid. The gliders will be op in pvp.
Diamond skin had to go, no class should be able to ruin every condi build out there with one trait! If you think it was balanced, then you need to lay of the ego for a bit and try see things from others point of view.
Druid has been op since it came, so nothing new here!

But we might see some of the worst iterations of condition builds unleashed from the lack of diamond skin. Diamond skin were the heroes of this meta. As a Tempest not running it, I loved when necro used daggers or celestial to break an hypothetical diamond skin. Now it’s going to be OP scepter all the times.

Druid is not even that strong to begin with.
They’re good at 1 v 1 (But get screwed by OP Mallyx Rev Banish Enchantment confusion spam, instant 18 stacks of confusion anyone?), but they’re terrible in outnumber situation. Among all the current bunkers, Druid can only be ranked 5th atm. (Top is Mes, 2nd is Mallyx/Shiro Rev, 3rd is Tempest. 4th is Scrapper , 5th is Druid)
Bunker mes did the stalling much better in outnumbered fights.
I thought gliders were just coming for the open world. Will they also be available in sPvP and WvWvW?
…….entire squads of stealthed paratroopers. THE HORROR.
Druids can’t go 1v1 because they have pets so it’s actually 2v1 in their case. Diamond skin is only strong if it stays above the health threshold. Besides with how many conditions are flying around on top of new stats like Viper that prolong conditions some form of counterplay is needed. Maybe not diamond skin but traiting a skill so water certain skills grant immunity to conditions for 10 seconds is a viable alternative.
Diamond Skin was only an issue in 1v1 fights. The trait was garbage if I had someone with me that could break the Ele’s 90% health threshold for me. But running into one alone it meant I had no choice but to run away since I had literally no chance of winning. It was just an extremely poorly designed trait. I’m looking forward to see what they do with it and am glad I can 1v1 Ele again.
gliding necros and druids for the WIN now

PvP should not be catering to the really bad players of the game. Everyone on this forum when HOT first came out was screaming that DH needed nerf. Guess what, they didnt and only players who run bad builds or dont know how to think in fights get caught by them.
They did need to put a symbol for diamond skin so you could see when the ele is under 90% but changing it completely under the current meta is just bad.
Now if they change it for the better because what the next patch does to update the game im kind interested in seeing how they do it. Also its a support bunker build so it should be able to sustain in 1 vs 1 unless against a really good 1 vs 1 dps build. At no point should peoples hands be held in PvP.
When they nerf diamond skin they need to nerf ALL condi classes as well to keep things in check, nothing to stop them now GG. Welcome to another 3 months of dull boring meta people cried for, then will cry about. Gliders in pvp should save anet tho XD
