Guild Wars 2

Topic. It’s about time; I’m really glad ANet has been showing more focus to weak utilities lately. Off the top of my head, various guardian utilities got buffed, the ranger’s shortbow got buffed, and various weak ele skills got buffed.

Plus overpowered stuff got nerfed, even better. So I say good job ANet. :0

The only criticism I have is the fact that the Mesmer’s SoI didn’t get skill splitting, and capping normal boons to 5 stacks might be too restrictive.

Um, yeah about that… I think forgot the buffing part for the revenant. Because everything they did amounts only to nerfs and some bug fixes with a major nerf to underpowered builds…

They probably could’ve buffed Ventari a bit, but otherwise I think most of the changes are justified.

Im so glad rocket boots do 25% more damage. I really need that for my sneak-up-on-my-foe-and-rocket-boots-burst-him build.

Well to bad it wont change anything. Most of those buffed utilites will still not be used.

Something you can see how crazy of their balance team

“Fading Twilight: The aftercast of this ability has been reduced by 0.11 seconds.”
“Chilling Scythe: The aftercast of this ability has been reduced by 0.06 seconds.”

0.11 sec?
what is that !!!???

0.06 sec?
Are they X-man?

But Rev got good nerf is the most better thing in this balance patch.

Omg lol thats just bad for sure,..

its seems they just make up some stuff to create bigger patch notes..

Ele buffs seem promising though. Gonna have to watch out for those burst burns.

Think about the possibilities they gave engineer.
Your enemy starts running, then you do it. You use the almighty initial burst of rocket boots. Now, when you are in front of him, you drop the incredibly strong Bombkit 2+3 combo so he will walk in that devestation.

All being specced for direct damage of course, because that sweet damage.
Amazing.

The changes to Retribution only made Condi Rev and other non-meta rev builds unplayable.

It doesn’t affect the majority of power revs. Invo is usually taken over Ret.

Actually they got nerfed by the number of Defensives boons they can stack from 9 to 5. So power REV surv, is nerfed. Probably bad power rev will need Paladin amulet now.

Yeah, a one year most awaited NERF. A full year…
