Guild Wars 2

It’s quite obvious that Anet knows warriors are broken & that’s why they’re nerfing hammer, unsuspecting foe ect… but why in december? It’s clear that PvP already is unbalanced not to mention unrewarding & has little-to-no appeal to it but why is it taking a month to implement the changes? Would it not be better to make less drastic but more frequent balance patches instead of just taking away 20% dmg? (which seems like a very elementary solution to the problem) Especially after making your players suffer through this for so long?

It’s a large patch so everything needs to be theorycrafted, tested, modified, then tested again. I agree that the wait times are stressful, but in cases like this it’s justified. I do wish that they would do monthly balance patches though.

You must be new here
It’s that way with literally every balance patch…

Dunno why.
No one does.

For some reason the devs just revel in working at a snails pace
(and laughably, they usually don’t even fix get a good fix to the problem after their months of deliberation)

well whats the rush? what is this patch even balancing???

It’s not just a 20% damage reduction though. Without burst mastery, and a weaker LB f1, that build won’t be as faceroll. They won’t be able to cleanse condi as easily and will lose out on regen uptime.

Shame on any warrior main running it all the same :p

I asking the same thing myself. They posted the Patchnodes for Dec 10 weeks ago. They do not wait for our feedback for the patchnodes. So why does it take so long?

Rolling dice to make random class changes takes time.

with less changes and more frequent it would not be a large patch. so there would not be so much theorycrafting needed.

as example why not move only unsupected foe up the trait line last week with the pve-patch? 1 little change and see how it goes. then this week another little change.
