At my wits end.
Know this: every nerf made is a decision made by Devs in their Envision of the “Balanced game”; those are mainly made on most player complaint, some paper test and eventualy an actualy field check (but a realy poorly 1).
If u have took a look in this forum recently, u would know probably what is going to be hit by nerfbat even without knowing the patch notes.
Don’t get upset and reroll while they remake the staff.
If u want to have some fun, get Thiees, that still have to see 1 realy nerf, or right now u could even pick up a warrior, all those engineer will get the hundred blade stuck in their kitten with boon hate new trait.
@OP:
I feel your pain. I started out as a power based Mesmer to later see mobs and mobs of them. So, I changed over to the D/D ele and the same thing happens. I always try to play the least played class in any MMO but such is my luck here in GW2.
On a side note, I’ve had an encounter with a Ranger that just ate me alive. This was after he killed the other 2 folks in my group. I almost rolled a Ranger alt after that. Sadly, I hate leveling characters.
