How hard would it have been to slightly tone down Bristleback’s damage, a few number shaves on revenant/scrapper/reaper/dh traps and bump up a few other skills. Small adjustments. When they said minor balance update i didn’t think they meant literally nothing. Didn’t they say they’d balance at the end of the season and again just before the next season to fix any outliers?

You could probably tell from my original post that I was speechless at the lack of any balance. I’m still speechless. Apparently the dev’s think the PvP is balanced…
Did they seriously removed unblockable fact from cyclone and waterglobe on ele warhorn?
Did they seriously buffed scrapper and revenant, nerfing ele even further?
So basically you nerfed skills on a weapon set that it’s not even seen in PvP on a profession that already can’t compete with your favourite professions for the same spot….like trying to kill what it’s already dead

About as hard as it was to “shave” mesmer alacrity. I’m gonna give you a pro tip that will save alout of headaches and trouble for you, find a different game to play in the meantime, you’ll thank me later.
Sounds awful. I’d hate to have to work entirely alone in a broom closet.
Harry, you are a wizard!
But Cynz, that would imply they are the hero
Well…
1. there is no balancing team by the looks of it
2. if this guy had gotten this job he WOULD have been a hero… i mean he would have to fight hordes of greedy managers interested in everything but class balance… that is just like Harry vs Voldemorth and army of death eaters xD
Inb4 they throw something random together and patch it in after an hour or so claiming it was being held back on purpose. It’s probably in the works right now

Yeah I chuckled at the patch notes. I don’t consider “bug fix”es to be “minor balance” changes.
A lot of those “bug fixes” affect balance.
For instance revenant skills no longer bypassing evades is pretty significant.
I won’t argue that bug fixes affect balance. However, “bug fix” is not what people equate to “minor balance changes.” Bug fixes are bug fixes, regardless of what they do or don’t affect.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
“We strongly believe that regular balance updates are one of the key pillars of building a successful competitive game. As such, prior to each season, there will be a balance update. "

Technically they have kept to that statement. Remember, we got a “balance patch” just after season 1 ended, which keeps with “before” season 2.

This is just tragic. It’s amazing how Anet can create a wall of text containing absolutely nothing.
Oh how I miss the GW1 days when there was an entire kittening expansion released EVERY SIX MONTHS instead of these pointless bugfixes and tooltip changes
