Q:
is there a stream today on balances?
The stream today is likely going to be focused on the rest of the patch. Going over the Shatterer revamp, gliding in Core Tyria, the Brew of the Month Club, and that sort of thing.

That makes sense, I appreciate it!
Stream; Mesmer are being nerfed out of the meta, Thieves now OP and looking for ways to make rev OP.
Yes, we know we sold the Chronomancer based on Alacrity. We changed our minds after we got your money though and we’re now giving alacrity to Engie and thief.
End of stream. No preview needed,

C’mon, you’re not even trying anymore. At least add in that Alacrity will affect Thief’s initiative regeneration. Put some effort into your whining!
No wonder you’re getting nerfed.

I’m a mesmer main (and warrior) and while I am admittedly sad about the mesmer nerfs because I don’t want them to be useless/thief bait, a change was definitely needed. It might work out who knows, remember when axebow got nerfed hard, then shoutbow dominated the metagame? Or last year when ele got “nerfed” but became one of the strongest builds in the history of the game?
I hate thieves, but they do deserve to be played just as much as other professions, same goes for warrior.
And the stream is done without even a single mention of class changes. Mark my words, the balance “preview” was 100% of the changes.
Last of the Red Hot Swamis
The balance preview was definitely not 100% of the changes.
You’ll see the rest on Tuesday.

I’ve been here long enough to know that the preview was probably most of the changes.
Might not be 100%, but 99% is pretty darn close.
Prove me wrong, Anet, please.
They’ll prove you wrong.
My money is on ANET not having anything else to reveal. They already accomplished what they wanted to; maim mesmer.. and ele and push thief and rev forward. After all, Rytlock Brimstone is the poster boy for HoT.

push rev forward
By nerfing several things and buffing the counters dramatically?

Mesmer will never be out of meta because they have portal (can transmit other teammates from one node to another) alacrity and polymorph moa while thief is only OP if you have the skill to pull it off (and to a lesser extent power rev) as some moves are clumsy and kind of root you (the third autoattack on sword for example can’t be canceled if you find yourself in a sword 3 situation. Acrobatics and daredevil have a good sync between a modest heal and gaining vigor upon evade, and weapon evades like staff 5 and sword 3 count but shadowstepping away doesn’t.
Then again they did mention changing up acrobatics so maybe the vigor on dodge and increased movement speed in stealth will go away (cries in a corner with the mesmers).

You probably actually think that mesmer is balanced right now. lol
