Guild Wars 2

It seems like all games have a very hard time balancing abilities to be effective in PvP and in PvE. Its almost impossible to balance them by themselves let alone balancing two of them at once. I believe having your abilities different depending on what you are doing is the best way to go about this.

For example, say in PvE my Thief back stabs a NPC for 12k damage (Totally made up numbers). Well 12k damage may be a little too much in PVP, so the ability only does 6k in there. In WvW maybe the back stab can use a little boost and do 8K there. With these abilities scaling on each part of the game. it will be much simpler to balance out the game without interfering with the others.

There’s only one thing that needs a wvw and pve split and that’s confusion. Everything else is fine.
