Honestly, it took 2 years to rebalance this game and all youre doing is destroying all the balance you had over this time

Just think logicly for a second, this won’t benefit anyone

I am glad this is happening, the classes I play the most are not part of the meta, so I am glad there is a chance to “reset” and let see how things play out.

The people that are crying because their mains are part of the meta, that’s just too bad.

Really? What do you play? My impression from the changes is that they reinforce the meta (exception: mesmer).

Are you saying that mesmers either weren’t part of the meta at all or are you saying that mesmers won’t be part of the meta? Because neither is true. They definitely weren’t as common as thieves, but they were still played way more than ranger or necro. At least on EU.

My comment was pointing out that most classes currently in the meta got buffed (Ele, Engi, Guard, Thief), and those that aren’t in the meta got nerfed (notably necro); I haven’t read up on the ranger/warrior changes yet. The exception to this is the mesmer, which was not meta and got a buff.

What are you smoking? Mesmers got the most buffs of all.

Yeah man, reread my post o0

Oh yeah, I missed that. But still applies what I said before. At least on EU mesmers were seen quite often.

For the record, the only mesmer in NA thats even close to prominent in pvp these days is Supcutie, and I’m pretty sure he used to be a thief main and/or played many tournies in the past year as a thief.

I don’t really watch the NA tournies that often, but pretty sure it was the other way around with Supcutie. There are several mesmers on EU appearing in tournies, though.

Supcutie is a mesmer main, and has been forced to play thief for a long time because it’s an objectively better choice than mesmer.

Engi ele thief got buffs. People overrate the mesmer changes by alot. Alot. Mesmer isnt even very good ATM and is used for portal and moa. The main reason mesmer can spike is because a thief stealths them. All in all, thief will hardcounter just as hard and ele and engi and thief got thr biggest buffs

Are you seriously telling me mesers didn’t get buffed? They got buffed the most along with engis.

The buffs to ele were medicore, I seriously don’t know what people are talking about. Either they do not understand the class and realize many buffs were to just replace nerfed things or the impossibility of taking some new traits.

Just stop with your obvious Mesmer slandering. The mesmer did not get “the most buffs” and it was/is not in a good position

I’m not trying to attack you, but you’re totally off base with your comments about the Mesmer. Unless you can provide substantial evidence that proves your point.

Also the only really prominent mesmers on EU are helseth and misha, so theres that too.

The game needs to be broken to get better. Just hope they work fast in the future to address the fallout from these changes.

Agree, but they didn’t break enough and haven’t yet re-assembled enough.

I call’d it anet, buffing some classes by a ton and destroying a few did nothing but kill your game further, so good job at making bad people somehow decent (ele, mes etc)

This game is even emptier now than it used to be pre patch, no idea how you guys manage to kitten up everything

Great job calling it with a very generic and subjective analysis. I don’t know how you did it!

Every day I see these posts and then log in and see enough people to drop my framerate in the mists.

It makes no sense to complain the game is being killed by these changes when:

a.) it isnt
b.) people are adapting and using the new changes to great effect across the board (with the exception of necro but we’re used to that.)

If you dont mind me putting you on the spot, which classes did Anet destroy? And how were Mesmers and Eles suddenly made “decent”? They had to be decent to live before; did those people that actually knew what they were doing suddenly vanish into the ether?

i think current meta (if you could call it a meta) can be pretty fun if every class got bit toned down in areas they overperform (unreasonably)

I like how d/d cele ele went from meta^2 to not worth playing without real nerfs to the build. Really puts the power creep in perspective lol.
