Guild Wars 2

Solutions thread. Post your 5 balance changes to help the game. Here is mine:

1, Shadowstep no longer removes any condis

2, Open portal has a 1.5s cast – this makes it still good but now it fits its role as a team utility skill

3, Blurred frenzy cool down increased by 5 seconds

4, Continuum split on mesmer no longer resets elites

5, Headshot costs 2 more ini

So you nerf thief/Mesmer without corresponding nerfs to other counter classes?

While I believe Double Moa should be removed, other ones would require some further adjustments to control effects.

Also Headshot 2 more ini? lol

And here I thought you would have taken the day between your last thread about thief/mesmer being op to sit down and try to learn how to play against these two classes. Silly me for giving you the benefit of the doubt

Thf and Mrs ain’t op. They just balanced for their role for. Mobile and +1 and holding someone 1v1 don’t hate them because all other classes don’t want a role and want their role why playing not their class

1 No deathsrhoud or Reapershroud on necros anymore

2 Consume conditions doesn’t consume conditions anymore but still stacks 25 stacks of all conditions on the player even non intensity stacking conditions become intensity stacking conditions on top of having a 100 percent duraction increase so yeah 25 stacks of chill. Each stack doubles the effect and duration of said condition.

3 Plague signet’s passive absorbs all conditions on from both the players allies and opponents and changes it into super agony. If the user decides to send the uncleansable super agony back to his opponents it sends an automatic 29 k heal on all allies regardless of thier position on the map with 25 stacks of protection, regen, resistance, swiftness,vigor and alarcity. each stack doubles the boons effect

4 Soul marks generate 100 percent class specfi energy for the enemies team that stand on it. all damage and condi damage is reduced by 99 percent

5 Scepter AA 3rd attack will cleanse a condition on the target

1. Increase Shroud CD to 15 to align it with Berzerk and Pet Switch, no longer triggering pickier players.

2. Increase Shroud drain to 15%/sec to promote tactical shroud usage. Exiting shroud will now stun you for 3 seconds, giving you time to drink in your edginess.

3. Corrupt Boon is now a skill shot with a 1.5 sec cast time and 450 range to make it more in line with the rest of the Necro’s skills.

4. Consume Conditions will now have a 360 radius glow. The Necro casting the heal will yell “INTERRUPT ME!” to deny the enemy the chance to take credit.

5. Remove another stack of bleed from Scepter and Staff.

Git off my lawn.

1, Shadowstep – removes all conditions & overall cooldown reduced to match the cooldown of return
2, Portal – infinite duration & range
3, Blurred frenzy – stacks might with each successful hit
4, Continuum split – increased duration to 3 sec reduced cooldown to 90 sec
5, Headshot – costs 5 ini unloading 4 x dazing shots returning 1 ini if all shots hit

Add Sigil of Death – Removes 100% player HP on hit (unblock-able)

First one to land a clean hit wins

Make backstab down targets 50% chance

Make backstab down targets 50% chance

I feel this is a little biased so I propose mesmer confusion should do double damage as they’re the masters of misdirection.

1, Everytime you enter deathshroud you get 30 min dishonor, stacks in duration. The other professions don’t have a second life bar, so you have to play it fair.

2, When you go downstate as a necro, you get insta perma ban. If you die on necro, you’re breaking the immersion of the other players, that is not allowed.

3, Everytime you want to use your heal skill as a necro, you need to perform a 20min ritual.

4, Buff shatterstone’s damage by 5%

5, The number 5

Agreed with this….it should also make the target wander in a circle in a confused state as well!

Sure, if you also reduce the CD to 75sec base and decrease the base CD on TW to 100 seconds and the base CD on Moa to 120 seconds.

This game is too unforgiving for an Ele so I propose that Eles gain obsidian flesh when dropped below 25% hp on an inherent 3 second
cooldown.

Seems legit.

I will add more.

Thief

- Set Stealth duration to max 1 second.
- Reduce Max Endruance to 50.
- Remove finisher from elite.
- Add 15 second cooldown to shortbow 5th skill.

Mesmer

- Set Illusion limit to 1.
- Set Moa cast time to 3 second.
- Reduce Portal range to 666.
- Replace confusion from skills with chill.

Thief: Steal

Now with a 10% chance to steal vital organs. Automatically reduces total health by 50% and grants thief a follow up ability “vial of salt.”

Vial blinds, aoe knockdowns and then sets everything in a radius on fire.

Foes slain by the vial are then automatically finished by a dancing moa ridden by an Asura wearing a cowboy outfit.

1. Entering death shroud now instantly kills the necromancer, to make the skill further fit its name
2. Moa now lasts indefinitely
3. Shadowstep now AOE dazes at the target postition
4. If a necromancers heal is interrupted, his graphic settings permutate randomly
5. After successfully reviving a necromancer, he will now have a second downstate phase

+1 now we’re making some sensible suggestions, anet please add.

Add some “your team calculations” please!!!

These responses are absolutely Golden lmao xD

1. To increase the skill shot feel and play of DH traps, all traps now have a 33% chance on hit to place an additional trap. No internal cooldown.

3. Impacting Disruption has been reworked to increase the lethality and speed of combat. If the target is moving, turning or using a skill an additional a new application of Impacting Disruption will be applied. No ICD. If the target is standing still when the Pulmonary Impact hits, 33% chance to apply a new application of Impacting Disruption.
4. Blurred Frenzy has been reworked to make it more consistent with shield. Evading with Blurred Frenzy now provides an additional cast of Blurred Frenzy. Each hit with BF reduces the cd by 5%. Skill no longer roots player during cast.

This affect applies blinds and bleeds your foe whilst applying random conditions at 1 second intervals for 5 seconds. Bullseye’s chance is doubled to 66% when interrupting a foe.

1. Remove all passives. Incorporate necessary ones into active skills that use them.
2. Remove tab target – action camera is now default.
3. Increase all classes max endurance and regen by 33%

The final strike of thief auto should be a 1s daze, there’s loads of counterplay just look at the chaos fractal boss.
