Guild Wars 2

It was a step in the right direction, I believe anet really tried to dedicate their selves by pleasing the masses. Its just a shame more of their efforts were not put into balance changes alone. I always feel like your die hard, your most loyal fans are constantly neglected.

imo its fair to tone down stuff like true shot, its a great idea to town down mechanics that put us into a pure bunker meta so we may see variety, but why are you only nerfing some classes that really only have one great build instead of also compensating them with anouther good strat to play as well? Your nerfs are usually very severe and destroy a current build, it would be nice if you gave classes anouther potential build to play around with while you figired out how to balance a broken one that you butcher.

I believe a step in the right direction would be to work on giving every class a balanced dps build. By that I mean a build with good damage and survivability that is well off enough to make that class potentially independent in a 1v1 situation while also possibly also having one “oh kitten” button (with a long CD) designed for protection when being swarmed by the enemy.

In order to move away from another bunker meta the defensive mechanics should not focus on heals, we need defense mechanics on each class that potentially mitigate most or all dmg for very short durations, mesmer comes to mind when on this subject. This will make combat feel skillful and rewarding. When I fight an opponent I want to feel like I have to outplay him by mitigating his attacks when the time is right, outhealing all dmg when ever I feel like it or when I do get bursted does not feel skillful, out with the pure bunker meta and in with a skillful one.
