Ok, so it looks like everyone misunderstood when they were ‘fixing’ vertical ports. Turns out they actually are a fix and not anet’s way of saying nerf. props to anet.

However, the stability change is huge. I thought the stability change wouldnt make a huge difference since stacks didnt even exist before, they would just have stability for the duration of the buff, but I was wrong.

Rampage, Lich, Tornado, etc. Pulsing stability on these elites is a bad move in my opinion. I understand that these are “elite” skills, but you basically removed the counterplay of removing that huge stack of stability. Pulsing stability on lich and rampage is seriously scary. Please reconsider this change.

It is a nerf the teleport change. Even in pve, you can’t almost shadow step anywhere anymore except super flat terrain. Even stairs (a common succesfull way to skip a path by a bit, and shadowstep on top of it, doesnt work anymore). Takes the fun out of thief imo. This was their one advantage imo + cloacking (wich inevitable is worse then a block/invulnerable parade that the warrior/guardian have). Thief really will have a bad time now. Their burst sucks, but now landing + escape that burst, will be next to impossible. GG Anet.

Only the thief has enough ‘teleports’ imo, for it to matter a lot. So balancing teleports is directly proportioned to thiefs Strength, and overall balance, and by doing this this got nerfed (global class utility) 10-20% imo. Sure the damage hasn’t been nerfed or mechanical utility, but in practise this is close to the truth.

Also bad for judge intervention. Guards really are slowpokes (one of reasons I don’t play them), and now they are even slower, GG anet. Being slow = takes the fun out of it. You may not realize it, but tons of ppl are unaware why, gonna get bored at a faster rate then in the past. All because you could not predict/Feel/Think what this patch would cause.

idk what your problem is, just tested all pvp maps and it’s even working better than before – yes on thief.

It’s not working better before as they took away areas to teleport to. And no, not on Thief either as you cannot shadow step in some areas up stairs.

I post from a phone so please excuse any references to ducks or any other auto corrections.

Lol then Anet focussed on the only thing they care about: pvp. Trust me, this morning I teleported on the stairs next to ‘Royal terrace pass’. It no longer works (tested with Ele and thief). Tested several other locations That i loved to use to ‘skip’ walk arounds, and almost noone of them work anymore. I haven’t gone to other places, but still, feels quite bad in pve.

He’s obviously trolling.

But I’m super scared of the Necro elites right now. Luckily Banner is too broken for most people to take Juggernaut but that’s also super scary.

Tbh i’m not trolling. But Yeah maybe pvp isn’t the first priority (content wise) for Anet. Still balance (pve) changes are always because pvp and not other way around. Now they are twice throwing 50 000€$ on tournement, wich imo says that Anet really cares super much about pvp.

Anyhow the update feels weird, some shadow step locations are easiers, other don’t work like in the past, and I can’t seem to find the connection.
