Guild Wars 2

About time this was changed! Good job AN

Yea, a 15% reduction on a single ability is a pretty conservative nerf, but it’s in the right direction.

Precision strike – oneshot every 5seconds instead of 4.

Staff 5 – unavoidable evading multi-stab-ripping gap closer now deals 5k dmg instead of 6.

That is Anets vision of nerfing rev.

The way I see it, AN is just taking things slow.

About kitten time….

Now about sword 2 damage…

They’ve already nerfed it by the same amount in the past once.

Support weaponset dealing less ridiculous burst damage is the correct decision, but if you think this will change position of Power Rev in PvP, then I guess you will be dissapointed.

Staff 5 – unavoidable evading multi-stab-ripping gap closer now deals 5k dmg instead of 6.

You do realise that Staff 5 can’t take more than one stability stack off any more right?

From patch notes

•Stability: The frequency at which stability can be removed by control effects has been increased from 0.05 seconds to 0.75 seconds. A brief effect will now play on the character when stability is removed via control.

Thanks for ruining it for the rest of the community, y’know all the other players that play PvE or WvW. Congratulations on your great “victory”

It was a proportionate nerf

There’s no need to kill the class viability. So calm your kittens guys.

And it’s funny because most of the players are playing PvE and WvW.

Thank goodness Esports is drawing sooooo much attention to this game. /sarcasm

Another joke nerf they don’t care.

I think this is a sign they’re doing better at caring. If they did small nerfs/buffs like these more regularly, the game would be a lot more interesting!

All that damage nerf. What then when power revenant is unplayable do you want to destroy condi revenant next. Anet need to split skills and traits to pve/pvp or else no one is playing revenant in any game mode.

I’m quite sure condi rev has already been destroyed and is rather niche now.

And great success on getting closer to make a skill with great depth shallow.

Condi rev shined only due to bunker meta. In dps meta hes a potato

who the kitten even uses surge of the mists in wvw, or uses it in pve for anything other than smashing a boss break bar?

Alot of players actually

For PvE it was also a nice addition to the already bad DPS Revenants have
For WvW since Hammer is a must, and the only ranged option, staff is actually a great alternative to Sword/offAxe and offSword (Sword/Shield is complete suicide with that root)

Long may it continue..

So 100% of your weapon options aren’t viable in WvW/PvE anymore? That’s a shame. As a warrior, I’ll continue with my nearly 4 straight years of playing Greatsword in PvE and hammer in WvW.

Every class gets pigeonholed into a specific meta build. Every one. You had a non-meta build receiver dps nerfs when the dps of that weapon is terrible in pve anyway. Rifle got absolutely destroyed for warriors in every aspect of play, but we aren’t crying that our fringe-novelty builds got ruined and we’re now garbage.

Revenant is still a top-2 class in sPvP, viable as any class in wvw, and an excellent support in pve. You’re in a perfectly fine spot in every aspect of the game. Stop being greedy at the expense of everyone else.

but what don’t you get that Rev forum amber warriors also want mallyx to be on par with mes/necro, ventari to be on par with ele/druid and jalis to be on par with pre-HoT bunker guard?

they want all their toys and they want them NOW kitten it.

Whew, I am glad they did that. Really annoying skill to fight against. 10-15% is a nice shave.

I don’t really understand the hate. I want all aspects of Revenant to be viable and playable, same for Necromancer and others do for their professions. What’s the problem?

Necro is a tad too strong, let’s butcher them; Rev and Mesmer rule supreme, let’s slap them on the wrist, gently.

Problem is they want delete rev from the game. If you can walk over something without using brain that means it is balanced. If it causes a bit of troubles to deal with the class is obviously op and need to be nerfed into ground so that they can walk over it.

Great mentality there ! Really helpful post – totally in line with the discussion. A truly powerfull argument: either it’s op, either it’s 0. Really amazing logic there.

What the warrior wanted to say to you – whining about this particular change – is that you shouldn’t be doing that. At the moment rev is a star in pvp, a very good support in pve and a normal class for wvw. It’s not in a position to complain about a relativily small nerf to the damage of a skill that already has enough utility in all the game modes.

In comparison warr doesn’t much going for him in pvp and for as long as I have been playing this game pve is all about 2 banners and gs. I’m not even allowed to swap weapons – god forbid I interrupt the might to the party. Also I have a cc – elite skill – that is inferior at breaking bars and damage. Also stuns me for a sec. And this is my meta, not a weapon used for the fun of it

The point is not that warr < rev or something like that. It’s that if everybody starts complaining there’s no end to it. Especially a class in a pretty good position overall at the moment. Funny how warriors don’t seem to be complaining about the rifle nerf, but rev’s do…

It’s a cc for god’s sake. Who came up with such a ridicoulos skill in the first place?

Lol @ good support….. You realize the only reason to bring a rev into high end content like raids is for the boon duration right? That’s as far as their support goes. Ventari is garbage and not even comparable to druid or auramancer. All the boons rev can provide are done better by other classes.

Now they just need to nerf thief damage, steal> 1 shot, every popular build viable, S\D S\P D\P, condi, staff all meta. all viable to legend, lets see it anet

+1 lol. I don’t even know how these people complain about the thief now while its super useless.

Is this forum full of people stuck in “amber mmr hell” lol? <o>

Usually when Anet nerfs something it becomes a marginal skill no one uses anymore, so I think it is very good they don’t overdo it with Surge. 15% is still a hefty chunk of damage gone.
