Guild Wars 2

bam. best pvp remains

As an ele main, I approve this message.

The thing is, celestial builds aren’t exactly faceroll builds, you needed a bit of skill to build up the boons, hold onto the might before you can be significantly powerful in a fight.

Which is good for increasing the skill ceiling. It’d make pvp balancing easier too.

If you were around during the War/Engi/Double Cele Ele Meta, you would know how frustrating it was to balance around 1 amulet that gave you everything.

Make D/D Ele a thing again, sure, but Cele amulet deserved to die by fire.

Would be fun to test actually.

Next years April fools?

I was around for that, but boonhate wasn’t as prevalent back then either, I think celestial deserves to come back in the current meta.

There isn’t enough time for things to settle for there to be a current meta. PoF will hit mid season and a new meta will start before this current meta finalizes.

But regardless, I argue the notion that Cele will bring build diversity. It will flat out kill it, reverting the very reason why Anet added additional, specific, amulets while also removing bunker ones. The moment Cele was removed we saw amulet diversity in a given team comp. The diversity now is even better than it was early 2015.

I don’t want to take a step back and call it progressing forward. Let’s see what PoF brings first.

I’m talking about the current state of pvp, not considering PoF. From the time cele was removed to now, we’ve had a lot more boonhate options added to the game, which was one of the ways to lock down cele. I wouldn’t say the diversity is all that good right now. Not for all classes anyways

If we are talking about the sole meta builds:

Ele: Mender
Thief: Marauder
Guardian: Marauder
Druid: Mender
Rev: Marauder
Engie: Mender
Mesmer: Sage
Necro: Carrion

Most of the builds are Marauder builds for DPS, Menders for the supports, and then necro and mesmer being the only outliers. Now this is /only/ the most meta of builds.

So where is that amulet diversity? I understand Celestial was horribad, but you can’t actually believe there is more amulet diversity now.

^ no warrior, hater!

There will always be a best option; but there being options and differences is better than there being none.

It isn’t a problem of a lack of amulets to support builds; it’s a lack of competitive builds to support the plethora of amulets.

No, don’t bring back celestial it’s broken, thx

To be fair there was no ‘meta’ build listed.
The most war had was a ‘great’ or ‘good’ build
I am assuming people are wagering that warrior got kicked out of meta for now, but if you consider the power build meta than apologies. It honestly slipped my mind.

Bring back celestial…!

It would be nice to have a choice between menders, menders, menders, menders or celestial.
