Guild Wars 2

Bad enough we got a series of condi mesmer buffs but Durability is still ridiculous in the current WvW meta. I get the Plex changes and they have been needed for a while but Durability… it is just as OP as the old Plex runes on bunker builds. It is ridiculously OP in skirmish.

/shrug

Like anything else, if it isn’t a big deal in spvp probably won’t be looked at for some time, look how long it took for that perplexity change.

Considering all the condi, siege, cc garbage they are buffing…things like durability and boonsharing are pretty much a necessity.

This, can’t nerf durability without nerfing condis and they’re making condis worse.

And they somehow decided to hit Pack Runes…

gg

On the good side, the game at least lets you express this now.

Pack runes changed? They seen the same to me.

Rune of the Pack: Increased the fourth rune bonus cooldown from 20 seconds to 30 seconds.

Oh ok… I never bothered much with that bonus tbh. I use it mostly for the swiftness duration coupled with power and precision.

Those passive procs aren’t so much the problem, but the toughness, vitality AND boon duration bonuses can be OP.

Well your going to need the Durabilty runes to offset the tidal wave of Ratwells that are about to happen.

Well, part of it was that I used it back then for AOE fury and swiftness but it’s not a big deal these days so I’m not sure why that had to be touched. Offensive stats were also good.

And also +30% swift duration vs +20% all boon duration >.>

Until those get nerfed. Happens all the time. I am honestly not surprised it hasn’t happened yet. Oh wait, they are too busy busting the Ranger and Druid’s b@lls again.

They won’t nerf them, common sense dictates the next nerf will be something meaningful like Underwater helms having stats reduced by half.

baseline venom + more ratwells + buff condi meta = Durability Runes

Durability runes = HoT required

HoT required = more money

Durability in skirmish is far more powerful than condi. I am getting nearly an 80% additional boon duration. Tack on the prot and regen spam as well as the added vitality then stack 2-3 players on top of each other… whew it felt like I was on a first year D/D ele. Running around with 25 stacks of might is evil. Watching a 20k Eviscerate land against a medium armor was just wrong.

It’s HoT garbage, probably will be nerfed as soon the next expac is roughly a year old.

this game cannot and will not ever be a balanced game …..and it shall not be balanced this is the challenge——playing and unballanced game

but but but …when the unballlance becomes STUPID with stupid buffs and OP chars …then its time to rethink the unballance.

Work harder ANET cause things are getting more and more stupid theese days

confirmed………..

Can you imagine the rage if they changed Durability Runes after people have farmed days and weeks just to have 1 set?

And some people farmed 3-5 sets by now….

That was their “downside” but now we can just straight up buy them in WvW. I am running five sets on different classes since the vendor change went in.
