All skill (or all that was left after the power creep over the years) was completely removed with the addition of HoT.
For example.
Why did you give mesmers continuum split? In what kittening universe is a complete skill reset balanced? The little marker that it leaves behind doesn’t even matter for counterplay because when a mesmer uses continuum split, you’re the one playing defensively. This is the most overpowered ability in the entire game because it was given to a class that was already strong. For no kittening reason other than, “timetraveler spec needs to time travel
”
Does anyone else miss fighting those highly skilled shatter mesmers with the whole triangle aspect going on? LOL DOESN’T EXIST ANYMORE. Just spam clones/phantasms out your kitten and then reset your skills and do it again.
Here’s another example:
DEJA VU
Why the kitten does it even exist? Just keep it Echo of Memory. What’s the counterplay? Unblockable skills? Lol. K. Then as soon as the mesmer sees that then he spams evades, invulns, blinds or just teleports the kitten out. Mesmer blocks for a million years, creates a phantasm and then… he does it again! And if he uses continuum split then he does it again then does it again again! Keep it a normal kittening block. Why? Because that is balanced.
Those are the biggest offenders for mesmer. Those abilities are totally out of line.
How about necromancer? Yeah, the class that I main. Nerf the mother kittening chill already. Even if you HALVED the chill damage people would STILL TAKE IT. That shows how broken it is. And guess what, it doesn’t matter for PvE either because necromancer will STILL have some of the highest condition damage.
Wow, nerf it.
Druid staff auto attacks.
I was playing a full berserk necro one day and a SOLDIER DRUID (I spectated) put so much pressure on me with staff auto attacks that I lost within 15 seconds.
Lol. Ok then. Maybe I should just dodge it all. Or, better idea. Just buff power necromancer through the roof and then when people complain buff their class through the roof, then, when the necromancer complains again, buff him again.
Then, repeat.
Oh wait that’s what you’ve been doing for years.
How about gunflame?
Yeahhh gunflame. The instant-cast killshot that is somehow better than killshot. Couple this with signet of might and GG anyone and everyone.
How about the fact that unblockable also can’t be reflected? Why? Because it causes weird interaction when certain abilities are reflected, such as creating a clone of the enemy? Then change that aspect somehow. Unblockable shouldn’t mean un-reflectable.
Basically, I miss when combat required some actual kittening thought process.
