Guild Wars 2

Hello readers, I have to share opinion.

In this thread Im gonna ignore balance, it doesntt have anything to do with the problem in pvp atm.

Im gonna say what I think now so please donnt laugh donnt judge:

The gameplay in pvp has never been THIS passive, and it never lacked the ability to counterplay by THIS much

Im not even talking about rooteteer engi or m&m necro.
Im talking about what makes builds powerful and what often decides fights.

I mean seriously…
Passives that you can’t do anything about:

Air/fire or blood – allows to burst hard without effort/risk, makes spamming AA and skills fast too rewarding. Passive 4k isn’t fun..

Fear procs – it’s actually not that op, but it’s still too effective when doubled together vs the effort (which os none)

IP + balth runes – honestly this is too meow.

Defy Pain and Necro’s chillbains are kinda silly too.

Meow procs – I think it’s pretty obvious.

Instant stuff that you can’t react to:

Steal – too rewarding for something that the enemy can’t avoid on purpose.

Smite Condition & Judge’s Intervention – too much damage for undodgable skills.

Fresh Air ele’s lighrning strikes – way too effective for again undodgable skills.

Corrupt Boon & Entangle – you actually can react to those but they’re not telegraphed enough imo.

Engi’s rifle #4 – 3 sec knockdown + undodgable = too much meow.

And this is all I can write in the time I have.
Thanks readera for reading.

Edit: I probably forgot to mention a few stuff but what ever.
+ I didn’t mean these stuff need nerfs, I meant they need some rework to be more active oriented.
Thanks edit readers for reading edit.

You forgot halting strike from Mesmer ^^ with fire+air… saved my kitten so many times =P

What I always want to write at such topics:
look likes all is OP, so all is balanced)

I don’t say all is OP.
I say a lot of stuff carries bad play and it’s kitten.

Sometimes Devs change stuff here and there, but looks like they want this kind of passive play style ingame, or they dont know how to solve the problem so they just dont do anything about that trying not to screw up even more.
