Guild Wars 2

they do away with some of the out of control crowd control in pvp.i cant even fight half the time.dazed,stuned,immobolized,feared,i could name a ton more but you get the picture.

that’s not the problem, the problem is that bunker/healer professions can do good dmg to, and very fast heal, look for example druid and ele, if Anet will not nerf it for season 2 then I will never play PvP, I will get my backpack, and look cool on wvw, or pve, (if they fix already wvw)

CC is kinda bad now yes, but bunker bunker/bruiser builds are the real problem with this meta.

What about the fact that there are so many more evades in the game now? Not only do we have too much CC (Taunt I’m looking at you), too much chill (reapers), we also have classes that can evade for days (mesmers, revenants, daredevils, etc.)

The game is so messed up right now. 1v1 duels feel much less skill based now and especially so if you’re trying to play a core build instead of an elite build despite Anet’s promise to balance core vs. elites.

In the case of daredevil you still need to press a button at a proper moment to evade. You may have three dodges but despite that the class is still underpowered, and all those dodges need to count since energy is still finite. You also have vault, which costs heavy initiative. Duels still take some skill (well, mostly, when I beat thieves or dragonhunters on my druid I don’t really feel accomplished) but can be a very uphill battle against necros and engineers if you’re a revenant. That energy needs to be watched in addition to your own health and enemy boons and animations. Spamming abilities won’t work and you need to develop a feel of, “this is time for Glint/staff/sword+sword/Shiro/whatever!” and switch skillfully. You can misjudge and swap to an inferior (for the situation) legend or weapon but that’s part of the learning process. Revenant is overpowered, but only if you know how to play it. I also haven’t noticed good evades with it. You have a Shiro skill that dodges backward, unrelenting assault, and staff 5, but those are cooldowns that also consume some energy. So you dodged back out of a daze field, now you need to wait a few seconds for the energy build up for jade wind.

I totally agree. if you play warrior you will def feel it. The game is just unplayable for warriors.

I’m fairly certain that the bunker meta is a result of the increased CC and damage.

I’m fairly certain that it isn’t the other way around.

+1 agreed. The elite specs do everything better. More CC and DPS, and they make better bunkers too. Unfortunately, not everything is overpowered equally…

Compared to these 3, everything else can stay as it is. Revs and Scrappers are strong, but those 3 are kinda braindead OP. The sustain is so extreme it’s boring.
