Guild Wars 2

After numerous posts on PvP forums of people QQing that dd eles are OP I was hoping that the 8/25/2015 build we would see a nerf in someway…

Elementalist
Arcane Brilliance: Fixed a bug that caused this skill’s blast finisher to occur at your target’s location instead of your own.
Soothing Power: Updated the tooltip for this trait to reflect the actual effectiveness increase of 100%.

Really ANet? Don’t pay much attention to the PvP community huh? Loosing all hope…

Pretty much, yea

I’m pretty sure they listen, but there is a difference between listening and not caring.

The salt is real.

Wow. This is starting to become an embarrassment. Given that other classes are seeing changes, there is no other explanation than that ANET is out of touch.

Are they really that oblivious to PvP?

The entire patch was mostly bug fixes, it was not a balance patch.

Soothing power was sold as a 200% heal increase. To fix the bug, they actually made the bug a reality. Touché.

dude, it’s totally your fault for still having some hopes…l2lose all hopes in pvp balance like everyone already did more than one year ago, if you already expect the worse from pvp devs your life is gonna be way better cause you will always be satisfied

mindgames you know

and I bet ANET also wonders why they struggle to get 1000 viewers for their tournaments.

I’m convinced to stop playing PvP mode at all.

2 matches in Daily/Rank farm Arena is enough for quests.

I hope Anet will remove daily rewards from pvp or block daily count from Custom arenas.

Will have no reason to even enter that kittenhole.

rom after 1 bottle of random alcohol has more viewers than esl weekly

and there’s a totally legit reason for it: drunk rom is fun

Facepalm is really all the people that don’t realize practically every classes have broken builds right now. Not just the bunker elementalist build is powerful.

There are many powerful specs around

But there’s only one spec that rules them all (Even forcing people to build ENTIRE COMPS in order to try to counter it)…and you know what i’m talkin about

again…last go4: 15 players…8 eles

Yet they didn’t fix the ring of fire bug where it stacks 45 burns…

Working as intended.

What we need is more celeddele in Tournaments.

Would be great if there were 5 celeddele vs 5 celeddele.

Rom lasted ages against the ele so clearly warrior is OP and should have healing signet halved, all shouts just cleans a condition and no longer heal and that war horn looks OP and should have triple the cool down.

Additionally ele looks underpowered, the boons need increasing in duration by at least 300% minimum and I think we all know 500% is the right number. Maybe increase their healing from only in water to on attunement swap.

Kinda funny after every patch, the first thing I go to is the ele section before I go to any of my main classes and I hardly ever play ele!

Hmmm maybe whining and thread spamming isn’t the way to get what you want. Who could’ve guessed?

+1

Furthermore almost all the upcoming elite specializations are an upgraded version of the core profession( berseker, dare devil, herald, chrono, reaper and I believe druid, forge too) and they will have all the tools to easily destroy d/d eles who didn’t receive a competitive elite spec as the core already perceived as strong

competitive pvp is a joke right now. team with the most competent eles wins. “just stack eles boys” – ANet

Such logic, much wow.

You sir are a legend.

Just because in half a year something releases that could outclass the current specs just make it OP as **** now and nuke sPvP completly.

yeah shout can definately survive for too long vs a cele dd 1v1 on point without getting totally rekt…huge war nerf inc bois

i can feel it already

shhh Why do you want me to get kicked out of the team! JK Blinding ashes and burn stack nerf is much needed. Even diamond skin and that earth thing can be nerfed too. As long as anet doesn’t touch water and arcane trait, I’d be happy.

I bet 10g Anet gonna nerf Thief Specialization traitline first week.

I personally saw it as a huge slap in the face and frankly a little disrespectful to their pvp community as I read the patch notes. I got pretty salty tbh.

Still nothing done to tone down ele and that joke of a skill spamming class. To me my main problem with them is that they are too influential in the outcome of matches.

Oh but instead lets nerf mesmer and warrior dps which were by far the best way to eliminate the D/D ele threat. So now warrior is forced to go back to cele given that they didn’t buff anything else for them and while mesmer is still quite good I fear they will continue to roll out the DPS nerfs on mesmer to the point where it will be cele meta all over again. Mesmer will once again be bottom tier along with ranger.

Still nothing done to long q times.
Still nothing done to separate teams and solos.
Still boring as a kitten to queue in the mists.

There are times where I am completely dissuaded from even logging in due to the above issues (it just happened now, only this time I made it as far as the mists lobby, then logged right out). I dread so very much the long wait times between matches. Jesus what a waste of time.

D/P Thief???

Well, that’s what I keep hearing people say…. some kind of excuse why Thieves can’t even 1v1 anymore.

Four Elementalists and one Ranger on a team. The future of sPvP in Guild Wars 2.

I guess the rest of us can just put our characters away and watch the hilarity ensue.

LOL!!

This^ I love guild wars 2 and been playing since launch, but when I came back and heard they were still trying to push their pvp as an Esport with their lack of balancing, I cringed so hard.

It wasn’t a bug, it was a simply failing in math.

Lets be honest here, the reason why not many people watch gw2 is due to the fact is one of the worst games to actually watch. It’s way too fast paced for people who do not play the game or are not very experienced to actually understand what’s going on.

You maybe do not think so but the balance is on a fairly good level compared to other mmos.
