not coming back till they nerf thieves burst, regen rangers, shatter mesmers and actually balance classes so their not getting melted with literally no reaction time and with all the cc why even bother? i can understand if you’re glass cannon and you get caught by a 100blades warrior; but that shouldn’t instantly kill you for one mistake. -.- and why restrict professions to one or two viable builds? i know you’re going to fix this but cmon. if you wanna be great you need to be faster, smarter, better! MORE CONTENT and more description of what the skill actually does. thanks bye
my team stopped playing back in late november and i just patched the game and looking at all these changes and after few tournament games all i can do is /facepalm… are you even trying ANET?
I know the game isn’t designed around 1v1, simply meaning if you specialize in one build you’ll get destroyed by another. but what happens when you have a profession that dominates another profession no matter what build their using? is that part of the 1v1 design? seems rather unbalanced than skill.
If Anet tried to push balance changes out super fast, eles and rangers would have been buffed early (they are now considered two of the best professions). That would have been…ill-advised.
The thiefs and mesmers is what im worried about, you just dont get a fair fight with them. They’re just easy cheesy.
Bunker eles might be hard to bring down, but their damage isn’t that great.
The burst in general does need to be toned down a bit, but in most cases it isn’t nearly as bad as people claim. Downed state and dodge rolls mitigate a lot of the potential direct dmg burst builds have. Not to mention having nearly any bulk in either your profession or attribute set let’s you survive burst rotations.
The only thing beyond that is a little too strong is Ele sustain. Then every class, including the ones that get nerfed need to have all their gunk fixed so they have 5 to 6 viable builds. The balance in this game is a lot closer then most people seem to think though. There are ways to beat nearly everything as long as you have the knowledge, reflexes, and decision making to deal with it.
Thiefs are not OP. My goodness, they can actually at times be a liability at high end play.
I’m sorry they give you trouble. They dont scare me much. Good thiefs are of course deadly, and of course everyone dies to them, but they are easy to kill, easy to pressure. Good eles are way more troubling.
Epilog….people like you stop games from progressing. Instead of the old “Go l2p” and saying that people don’t want to die ever….which NOBODY has said:
How about you just admit the game is a bit broke….this is not Call Of Duty on hardcore mode, nobody should be dying in under 2 seconds—(Looks to 100b/shatter mes/BS)
To have a game with 1 game type….only 2 types of pvp trait selection (glass or bunker) ((Please don’t give any crap about “balance spec’s”, the damage reduction difference between 900 toughness and 1400 is pathetic))
[note: I consider 1400 toughness mid range]
Is this a great game? Yes
Can it get better? It bloody well better do, if Anet let a game like this go to waste I wont be happy
My tPvP team split because of the lack of balance in this game. They’re off playing dota 2 and SC2. They were so much quicker with balance updates in gw1 than gw2. I don’t know what’s going on, but a lot of people are losing faith.
regen rangers? WHAAAAAAAAAT? If this is a problem to you lol. Thief and D/D ele are the only problem. Thief isn’t exactly a problem because they can 13k 1hit you but because stealth is broken as is. Ele… well i think everyone knows why. Shatter mez can kill fast and is known as ‘OP’ by many but to kill fast you have to be glassy which isn’t hard to take down if you pressure it and don’t attack clones like a dummy
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
To be honest I agree with OP partially. Balance changes are way too slow. How long do we have to play in a world where elementalists are just utterly dominant before we get some changes. It is getting boring now. You would of thought that such a severe OP class would be bought down more urgently than what it has done.

5 months isnt long enough obviously. i’ll bet anyone the 26th patch will have paltry amounts of prof balancing. but i think deep down we all know this.

I’m with you man. My expectations are not that high with the upcoming patch.
Color me pessimist. :P

later. It doesn’t care that I’m there.”
u know what the funny thing is? they keep saying (and showing) how they only wanna do incremental buffs/nerfs. but when is the ACTUAL balancing going to occur? things have been the SAME, even after incremental balancing. theyve eliminated exploits like the guardian mace, sigil stuff, and double shattering mesmers – but these arent balancing moves. theyre exploit fixes. so when is this aoe nerf gonna hit live? when are profs going to get more viable builds, which is their current priority? to me it seems like it all needs to overlap in some patch and make a huge mess of things, OR it just isnt going to happen, period.

soooo…when??
At launch of the game it was the consensus among the community that ele’s were near the bottom on the list of good pvp classes. After the fixes to rtl, lightning whip, magnetic leap and fire grab ele’s are now op. It’s hard to judge the strength of a build/profession when bugs exist. Imagine if they nerfed the guardian because people were abusing the mace bug. They probably would of had to reverted those changes after fixing the bug. It would be nice if they could roll out bug fixes quicker but sometimes bugs are very complicated.

QFT.
if you are calling it “overpowered” for something which reaches only 17k hp in FULL TANK GEAR to tickle you for less than a single stack of bleed, you are part of “the skillless many” and deserve your rightful death against a build whose only “bursts” are 4k minus, on 45 second plus cool downs, and must be “set up”.

Strange…actually bunker guardians can have less than 17k hp and outlive every single 24k+ hp war anyday, hp pool means pretty much nothing into a bunker spec, all you need is healing, boon stacking and cond removal…and bunker eles have tons of all of those + high mobility + more dmg than a bunker guardian…yes they’re clearly ok..
Thief? Yes. Though not the damage. Just do something about the constant stealth. It’s not the power that’s a problem, it’s the fact that it’s nigh impossible to evade or counter the burst when the only thing you can do is spam AoE and hope it hits.
