Guild Wars 2

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Healing_Seed will no longer make you completely immune to conditions for its duration in PvE/PvP now.

Also it makes it so they can start making changes to staff/non-D/D Abilities.

I would like to see a major reduction to cool-downs for staff, I believe that weapons should be viable without switching attunements.

You know you can just destroy it? It says, right there on the wiki page, “extremely fragile”.

It isn’t a problem in PvE because…conditions? In PvE? Gotta be kidding.
sPvP? You can’t use racial skills (correct me if I’m wrong).
That leaves WvW. Players can click it and press 1.

Mobs don’t go after things like that in PvE, in fractals for example on some bosses which “buildings” are immune to (its considered a building, so not effected by dots/conditions/debuffs.) It could stay up in fights and keep you perma-immune to conditions 32 out of 45 seconds.

Which encounters require that heavy condition removal and you can’t do them differently?

So this nerf is a good thing because some Elementalists used Healing Seed? What about all the non-sylvari eles getting screwed over because of it? Why wouldn’t they instead change healing seed rather than make a change that ruins builds for all eles?

It was an easilly abused trait which is why its removed, developers don’t like traits that can be abused with items and food and runes.

It could also be used with Healing Seed Trees in World Events to make you immune to conditions as well if your not a sylvari.

It is more balanced now! And balance is good!

How was it easily abused? Elementalists don’t have that many ways of applying regen, even if they did changing Healing Seed would have made more sense since not all Elementalists have access to it.

The Rune has a minimum 15 second cooldown, and healing seed could have been changed to not give regen and just heal for a flat amount per tick.

Just a correction, Healing Seed never made you completely immune to conditions. Near immunity, but with correct timing/luck could still harm them with conditions (or just bombard them with multiple conditions). Not to mention the fact that the thing has very little health (as other have mentioned). If this change was based around that skill then it was poorly executed.

As for Rune of Dwayna, that regen is nowhere close to being abusing with this trait (internal CD are too long).

I don’t even know what’s happening about Healing Seed, but if it was “OP” and is getting nerfed, it’s because the AN mindset is that race is about aesthetics only, and that none of the racial skills should actually be any good, they’re just a “fun factor”.

Long were the WoW days where everybody and their nan was Undead as they had OP racial skills.

That said, my Guardian still uses Prayer to Dwayna, but that’s for a different forum.
