Guild Wars 2

Played couple games today, was a blast after that parody we had for couple weeks.

Some things here and there are surely yet to meet Mr. Balance, but overall game seems more healthy. I’m not sure where Chronomancer stands now, but we shall see.

Again, thanks for fixing it mid-season.

I agree this is far healthier.

I don’t quite understand how optimistic/naive a-net was. You release 8 elite specs and 1 fully new class. It is doomed to be imbalanced, nothing wrong with that. So you don’t promise “no balance patch for 3 months”. This rhythm may work once the game as reached a decent balance, but we’re not there at all.

But yes, thanks for the fixes, I hope they will be enough to add some diversity back in the meta.

Mesmer is easier to decap now but overall sustain across the board still seems very high. Also I don’t like the Demonic Defiance change.

I’m disgusted. ANET broke it’s own rule to single out Mesmer for a nerf. Not only well of precog but also block duration.

I think anet has an ongoing issue with Mesmers and wants to return them to the two years of trash tier we had before.

Shh.
Sit down, and have a mug of cocoa.

The mesmer change was needed. Distortion is actually a buff in some ways.
The block change appears mostly insignificant in PvP. I’ll still take shield over torch any day of the week. (Don’t even get me started about off-hand sword and focus >.>.)

And over all, I’m just glad I get to screw around with a condi build again.

Also, the meta doesn’t matter unless you’re a top 1% player.
A.K.A. I’ve been enjoying mesmer during those “trash tier” years.
