Guild Wars 2

When is the next balance patch?? This is “so balance” right now.

Sometime at the end of April, don’t hope for any changes tho. The last balancepatch was a simple joke.

What do you mean by “next” ? I’m still waiting for the first !

Based on Anet historical record of destroying what works and changing what doesnt need change….
Don’t be so optimistic about a future balance patch… this company seems to be incapable of fixing anything……

First they destroyed WvW and now they are trying really hard to destroy whats left of sPvP….

dont worry, is coming nerf mesmer, always is nerf mesmer.

I’m just waiting for anet to gutted everything like they did with mesmer lol

Don’t expect that to happen. Ele, Guard and Edith lets me put Rev here will always be broken in some way.

I think we will see a bunker ele nerf and a slight reduction on necros. Everything else will be the same until the next balance patch in April.

Warrior would like a word with you.

Ele needs a net buff though.

And why make 3 viable professions each season and not fix it. No one likes this (am I right?) It seems like they do it on purpose. Eles, rev and mes last season. Eles, scrapper and necro this season. You can tell why eles need buff.

Only a net buff meaning some nerfs will accompany it but the buffs would be larger than the losses. Some ele skills are way too slow to be practical like lightning orb, most scepter skills, and the staff healing skills are weak. Water staff 3 is good but its radius is too small. Nerfing overload cast times by 20% should help reign in some damage and healing since a shorter cast time means less time the chargeup does its AoE’s.

If March don’t have any balance patch,
I can put my attention on Gundam Breaker 3 and The division in this month

Hopefully, some changes come in next tuesday x.x or not…

I hope they don’t buff anything on Thief other than what is not used right now. The class is very strong, but could use some buffs to some utilities and weapons (offhand dagger 4, pistol 1)

The damage is fine, sure, but the survivability is still crap.

You have to either be really good at ganking or just get lucky to not get shot down quickly.

It’s a shame it’s so hard to stay alive without playing the stealth and run game because it’s really the most fun class in pvp I’ve played outside of Mesmer.

I’m not really sure how they would create more survivability though. I guess if you know how to take advantage of a daredevil staff build you could probably be fine, but without some constant immobilizing it’s a little hard to keep up with opponents jumping and moving around all the time. Especially with pulmonary impact requiring you to hit them every time. Impact strike having a wind up time along with good placement really sucks too.

And the endless necro healthbars are great when you’re playing as one, but when you have 3 people beating on one that managed to heal himself to 75% health and get another full bar of life force only to repeat the process over and over again makes things like capping nodes and territory struggles a little unfair. Not even going to address bunker eles. But those at least require a little bit of finesse to play.
