Guild Wars 2

Forum Bug lel

Diversity is worse because the new system is so constricting. Would allowing as to substitute higher teir traits for lower ones make balancing that much harder?

I saw build diversity yesterday at ESL weekly.
Red Team vs TCG: 4 zerkers, 6 celestials (2 thieves, 2 mesmers, 4 eles, 2 engis).

I agree that taking away starts from traits is awesome…but why can’t I put a master trait vs a grand master trait? Also, why perma lock 3trait lines and taking away a lot of hybrid builds and other possibilities…. While I think removing stats is great, the other changes in my opinion make many builds no longer possible.

Maybe it’s because the meta hasn’t been settled.
I have played a lot of mesmer, ele and ranger after patch. Feel there is better build diversity for all three classes.

I hope Josh posts again… There are various posts about this and I believe the majority would agree. I would say keep the stat change and everything else… Just make it so we can swap between master traits and grandmaster traits etc. and have all lines available instead of the 3 perma locked lines.

The release has been out for 4 hours. It’s a little early to tell.

Are you saying, that released content are never tested? It’s pretty apparent.
Will guild wars 2 ever leave beta phase? Its been 3 years now.

I hope the balance team does a good job on our new specialization or thief will continue to be the most stale class in the game.

made ~3 topics about this problem before patch. 0fks where given. im really getting tired of being right…

+1. and i believe suff is tested till it seems bugfree for first look. so newer tested for balance

Shoutbow is still viable, but this time you use Rampage to mitigate burst instead of banner and Settlers to get the old healing back. Rampage Warrior is also viable as zerker.

The only class that has this problem is probably Engi tbh. I’ve seen more than one build for all classes.
