Guild Wars 2

Hellooo!

I’ve been asking around and discovered other people have noticed this as well so figured I’d post here and see if I can find out more.

Basically since the patch I feel somehow way, way squishier than before. It’s like I’m running full zerk (I’m not) rather than the more balanced build I was using before and since the patch.

So has anybody else noticed this? Was something done to toughness somehow?

PS: This is via WvW.

I’ve find myself kind of squishier myself, but that is probably due to the Healing Signet nerf as I play a Warrior. I’m thinking it probably isn’t due to toughness but moreso conditions.

Gardians in my guild felt they were squishier yesterday evening, the other classes didn’t find that much.
I thought it might have been linked with the build they ran (still ran the old build, instead of a newly optimized one).

That might make sense if there had been nerfs to survivability, but apparently the only nerfs were to direct damage so it doesn’t make much sense.

The is no longer 45% boon runes, so less Protection, Regen, Ageis, and Vigor. So yeah boom based Guardians would feel squishier.

As a warrior though, I feel more tanky in general.

Some runes changed (I’m not gardian, so no idea what our guards run, might be boon ones :p), maybe they ran with something that made their crit damage help them survive, maybe the rune/sigils they used got changed in a way that offered them less sustain…

Might be the same kind of things for other people who found they were more squishy…
