Guild Wars 2

How much are you willing to bet the Weaver will be nerf after the preview event.

And how long will it takes to get more nerfs after launch?

My bet is 10 hours after launch of PoF.

swaping effects without CD might get out of hands so i expect internal CD on them….

those numbers on abilities and Traits are just broken….

the new spec needs a nerf all around almost everywhere lol

What numbers? The only trait that seems a tad overtuned to me is Weaver’s Prowess. The two barrier traits are a little hard to gauge since we don’t know how well they scale with healing power yet, but they don’t look particularly strong without any healing power.

Sadly 2 condi cleanse on hyper speed looks like a target

Granted, that trait looks incredible strong for pvp, but mostly due to the amount of superspeed that the weaver can get outside of the trait, not least through one with air and fresh air in tandem (hopefully these traits won’t be gutted in the balance patch later today). I wouldn’t be surprised if (sword-)weaver needs these kinds of perks to stay viable though, as mobility looks limited without superspeed and the ability to get around inhibiting conditions. Scepter fresh air doesn’t struggle that much with conditions in the first place, and will likely still struggle against pressure from good power thieves and revenants.

So on a positive note, the only case where Unravel Hexes looks overtuned is for Weavers who take the air traitline, which isn’t inherently defensive nor meta at moment. Hopefully, this can help push an offensive elementalist build towards meta, which I’m guessing is what a lot of us want.

so they drop superspeed on baseline not to overshoot and make this the weaver speciality ….. Won´t be surprised on such a change …

I think the cleanse on super speed will be the first casualty outside of the blatantly obvious weavers prowess. Now the obvious would be to reduce it to 1 condition on a 3/4s or 1s CD but knowing ANet they will reduce super speed durations across the board with one with air becoming 2s.

if we follow nerfs as they have come we will see slight nerf to melee focuse, huge nerfs to ranged focus, then buffs to melee focus.
and we are back with the melee, mid range ele as always
so tired of everything being so melee heavy, need serious gab creators and proper long lasting ranged CC’s.
