Guild Wars 2

Balance patch is a joke.

Anyone care to disagree?

/thread.

Well, at least now you may as well have a few more classes being in trash tier together.

That’s true anything other than Necros and Thief can basically take a back seat. I hope I can choose games with no Necros and Thief.

Anet really sucks at balancing.

Warriors have plenty of condition removal, but the fact that they can be re-applied instantly makes that pointless.

I still think we need to change condition removal, boon removal and stun breakers to give very short unrenmovable immunities.

Remember the gray condition icons seen on creatures with a breakbar? That same visual could be used for this.

You remove Regeneration from the enemy, get get anti-Regeneration for 2 seconds, that looks like regeneration but graysacale instead yellow. You remove Burning from an ally, they get anti-Burning for 2 seconds.

You break stun, even if you don’t have stability you get a “Stunbreak” effect that makes you immune to hard CC for 1 second or half a second.

With something like this removal would be meaningful. They put blindness on you and you have a condition removal? If you have good reflexes you stop your attack and use a condition removal instead. Ding. Get anti-Blind for 2 seconds. 2 entire seconds of hitting the enemy without being blinded.

No the balance patch certainly is not a joke.

A joke is funny.

The balance patch is a disaster.

relax. thieves have their hopes up at the moment. By next week they’ll be crying again. The sustain they ask for was converted in auto attack damage. They still have all the same issues as before.

The warrior sub forum has pages and pages and pages of great ideas … Anet has apparently seen none of them and decided to just make up silly random skills and pretend that its a big deal. It just seems like they don’t even play the game anymore. But is anyone actually surprised? stay tuned for the next “balance” patch in 4 months xD

It’s really sad

I guess we need to send our QQ to some streamer, Anet will listen that way

Patchnote says : “Savage Instinct: The conditions removed by this trait have been increased from 1 to 2.”
What if Berserker Mode works like the Berserker Stance ? by adding some immune or Resistance, Warriors could survive a few seconds…just to be burst by the new meta thief

Yes, let’s make her cry for the sake of Warriors ! >:D

A bunch of meaningless changes on meaningless skills like 2sec cd down on pommel bash, throw axe doesn’t make war be any viable again. Meaningless is still meaningless. I wouldn’t even consider this patch as warrior buff only except rifle animation and To The Limit, which obviously will not solve the entire problem of warrior from the core level.

Tiny buffs to skills and traits that didn’t need them. Our problem was never damage. The healing buffs are a very tiny step in the right direction, but the change on Berserker stance is a leap back. IMO, stances should be unique to simply having boons. That’s what makes them standout from the plethora of other skills from other classes that do the same thing.

Thief was overbuffed for sure, but:

1) More than one necro on your team is a sure loss against a decent team
2) More than one thief on your team is a sure loss agaisnt a decent team

You still have three more spots to fill.

Warrior is in a good spot, I think, but the much needed nerf hammer never came… and warriors still have to deal with ridiculously powercrept professions.

Well I can’t really affirm that warrior is good, as all there is now is unranked, which to me is not even close to competitive right now. (Too much variety in skill level players making matches very strange)

However, I came up with a warrior build that combines my old build (soldier lockzerker) with the power of a gunflame. I’m still keeping this gem with myself for now, but if I find it performs well in ranked when it gets here, I may share. XD

Good luck finding good builds.

i will disagree, i made a burn war and it’s awesome !

Ok?

Hammer got nice buff. Now warrior players just need to stop spam hammer skills eyes closed and they are golden.

^^^That trolling quality is low indeed

Read patch notes. Of course buff won’t help when warrior spam best skill when enemy have all dodges and blocks left.

I have, and I’ve played a lot with hammer for a long time, lower CDs help but won’t change much because of TELEGRAPHS BRO!!!!! seriously, you realize how ez #5,#3 and earthshaker are to dodge right? Lowering the CD on a painfully hard to land skill doesn’t result in a weapon set suddenly becoming good. Hammer IS much better though and I will still run it, lower CD on Fierce blow mean more dmg and more frequent weakness application and I can get a 20sec 2 second knockdown if I take merciless hammer, but still hammer is hammer, 1 blind and you’re kitten. You can pop berserker stance for the resistance if you see your attack is about to miss because of the blind but still anybody with half decent knowledge about the weapon telegraphs can pretty much ruin you :S

Like the guard forum also has great ideas to fix what’s broken. None of the changes happened at all. All the weapons are crap except for the great longbow and OK sword/focus. We had ideas for fixing hammer and giving us a role back into the game. This role being what the game designed our class to do heal and protect but we can’t even do that. They had ideas for fixing usless traits and increasing usability on sustain. But all we got was revive speed so that dream is dead. Sadly. ????
