Guild Wars 2

Let’s see your opinions on who made out and who just got the shaft:

Winners
1. Mesmer – Buffed in all aspects of the class….lol
2. Guardians – Looks like good changes to help this struggling class
3. Warriors – somehow avoided the nerf bat and remain faceroll stronk
4. Druids – Your support meta class and you can keep pet names ^^

Losers
1. Thief – eh you nerfed this class? wtf
2. Ele – BOOM (though watch another OP build will be discovered)
3. Engi – Might now require a thought process to play now?

what about necros and revs ?

How did druid win? Nothing changed at all. All we have gotten is random pet buffs who cant even hit targets. Seriously? Keeping pet names is a win? Wow.

They are neither won or lost

Who’s gonna be the support class in a match now?

Wrong in one spot – there was no buff or reworks for eles so whole class is DEAD in pvp

Guard might be able to fill the spot vacated by eles. Ofc druid also.

3. Engi – Might now require a thought process to play now?

Haha! I love Engi hate

imo I think we all lost a bit on this patch:

HoT > vanilla
Hidden & passive procs > player skill/activation
Spam more > skill shots, skilled setups, cd baiting/mindgames

Druid won? Aside from some inconsequential pet BS, they got nerfed regarding Guard, Protective Ward, and Beastly Warden.

Yeah, mesmer really won that round of balancing with all the buffs to its many 1s+ cast time abilities screaming impacting disruption to its nemesis.

I expect thief to be fine (or at least not worse than it was). Backstabbing when your target is blocking now requires thought, but with the removal of cleric’s amulet, enemies just got squishier.

At least Power Herald got a significant nerf in PVP specifically because they normalized (greatly reduced) the base damage on Precision Strike and added a stout weapon quality multiplier.

It’kittenting for a third of the damage it was pre-patch, and it was our primary source of damage.

Looks like yet another viable power build killed in favor of condi when everyone’s complaining about condi running rampant.

Necro should be added to the lose list. They took a big hit to their best sustain utility for some “QoL” changes on skills that see little to no use.
The spectral walk/spectral armor buffs the only positive thing, but it doesn’t make a huge difference.
