Guild Wars 2

let the meta settle! well whatever – there are some things i noticed after the patch:

engis: obv strongest condition class now

hambows: still as strong as ever except maybe longbow #3

thieves: more vulnerable due to lyssa nerf. pw is still beeing spammed. the ini increase was a bad change to begin with.

necro: people went from dumbfire to dumbfear

guardians: didnt notice anything yet

rangers: not much either except the lower amount of hp/s with spirit elite. heard pets hit for 9k though

mesmers: got hit by a mesmer like a truck.. not sure if that’s got anything to do with the patch.

eles: not bad right now. revived my old d/d ele and been doing great in hotjoins / tdm / solo q. good sustain and healing with celestial.

did you notice any other differences? then post it please

One singular change so far that is very strong…sigil of intelligence.

Also zerkers stacking in a corner near capture points has been a common sight in SoloQ.

That;s how you do PVE dungeons

What I have noticed in a day (still too early to really tell IMO):

- Runes of Balthazar are a problem with condi Engineer, something needs to be done because condi engineers are over the top.
- Runes of the Nightmare are another problem, with Fear chaining Necros that can 100 – 0 you with a fear chain in under 10 seconds.

- HamBow warriors don’t seem nearly as OP, still powerful, but not OP.
- Thieves who use shortbow are a little weaker, but still good.
- Guardians are still Guardians, nothing really changed.
- Eles seem to be viable again.

Warrior killed me with one stunlock. 0 from 20.000. Never happened to me before. One swing took half of my health.

Staff ele killed me. Never happed before.

high skillcap gs/lb building momentum warrior: nerfed to hell

remeber when i had thread to not nerf building moementum, guess what, no one cared, because its rarely seen and not op, and the only one how cared have no idea, they just go, its op ( it’s not op and it requires dam high skill level to set up combo with) so it should be nerfed.
now we just go hambow brainless, you all happy now? hambow isnt even nerfed that hard, compare to building momentum, i know you all just love hambow so much, let’s just nerf every other semi viable build too, so you all can go hambow.

cat hit my zerker ele for 6k today and hit my friends ele for 9k..

Engis: Stronger but so is every other class, not even close to the strongest class right now imho.

Hambows: Sooooo, damage is ridiculous right now, they can maintain 25 stacks of might by themselves, over the top damage and allowed to bring banner instead of Signet. One of the best classes post patch

Thieves: Not much changed, only real nerf was the shortbow 3 spam. Patch notes said ini on PW was being increased, it never actually was and is still 5 ini. pls fix.

Necro: Strong, do less dmg but corrupt more, kind of a meh class

Guard: IDK cant find anything really stupid yet maybe dps guard comeback?

Rangers: lolpetbug

Mesmer: Beyond stupid. Maintains 15+ stacks of might, with the nerf of lyssa you can bring Moa now. iZerker was fixed and does 3-4x the damage it did before patch.

Ele: Permanent 25 stacks of might, ridiculous sustain. Probably second best class right now.

most concerns about warriors

had to fight some in my last matches with my ele. no chance, cant kill them at all and i was even using sigil of doom to cut the healing signet. 15+ might stacks hitting me 3,5k with hammer and them burn ticks…

nerf my kitten

Hambow isn’t that great anymore. Ele is back. My necro is still viable.

sustain ele is back. but hambow still kills it no matter what you do. equal damage, more regen more hp more armor :/ just the ele mobility is superior

Hambow is just as disgusting as ever

Eles are out of hand atm, to much regen to get thru

play engi, necro or hambow for that extra cheese against ele.

especially bathazar engi, fear nightmare necro, strength hambow war.

META in gw 2
Play as a bunker or conditions damage.

2 years have pass and same game, same problems.
I thought after so long I couldn’t get disappointed again. I was wrong.

I feel sorry for my guardian dps.
