Guild Wars 2

I actually really like some of the changes that happened to traits, damage modifiers, etc. The QoL changes > the actual changes.

let me preface this with this, if i say good, if you have at least 1-2 viable builds, welcome to every other class in Gw2

I looked over the changes, and imo? Engineers were good, but I think got the most powerful buffs this time around. Nobody every really complains about them, because they were the least played class.

Warriors will continue to be OP, but they will be nerfed soon, there is no doubt about that.

Eles? What can I say to you guys? You got nothing.

Mesmer…my main! We didn’t get nerfs, and the mantras still suck, but who cares right?

Ranger don’t really play ranger, but they are still in a good place.

Guardian, this fury buff is really going to make hybrid dps/tank more viable, and it already kind of was before. I would be happy if I was a guard to be honest, it is probably the strongest class in the game, and has been on every major team since the game started.

Necro.. you are still the king of conditions and nothing has changed, you are still godly

Thief , you got hit bro. The stun duration makes s/p gone. S/D was honestly a very, very good build. The 1 boon steal is still good, and the build is still tier 1.

I am not good in anyway. I am rank 34 and mostly play hotjoin and YOLOq. I am sad about this patch because I kept saying…wait till the 15th, and then nothing really happened.

I think people got their hopes up for a 4 month patch that was really just a QoL patch.

Warriors – They’re sturdy, they dish out damage. Right now, I feel that they are more frustrating to fight against than a mesmer or a thief, which is pretty mind boggling since they were free kills a few patches ago. I’m not against the buffs to warriors, they’re just kind of over the top such that they are becoming too good in everything that they do. But that’s just me.

Eles – They gave staff some buff here but an across the board nerf there due to AOE limit including blocks and evades. Heh. And, oh, conjures!!

Top Tier:
necro

Unsure: (I have only fought 1 staff ele so far he did fine as a support)
Ele

I don’t think ele’s are in a bad place. They just have a very high skill cap. Watch CMC, he has no issue staying on top of the solo queue ladder. Oh and I’ve seen some horribad warriors…they are not as faceroll as it seems.

lol jae sorry you have no idea. Ele is NOT viable and soloqueue is nothing to measure viability of classes
