Guild Wars 2

On Nov. 15th update.
“Grenades
The projectile speed of all grenades has been increased by 10-15%.
Grenade: This skill’s damage has been decreased by 10% in PvP only.
Shrapnel Grenade: This skill’s damage has been decreased by 15% in PvP only.
Freeze Grenade: This skill’s damage has been decreased by 10% in PvP only.
Grenade Barrage: This skill’s damage has been decreased by 10% in PvP only. It also now works correctly with the Explosives trait Grenadier while underwater.”

On Dec 14th. Engineer
Engineer kits now inherit the bonuses from currently equipped weapon sigils.
“Grenade” skill now does 30% less damage to balance against using sigils.
Grenade kit damage is now equal in PvP and PvE."

it is my understanding that in PvE that on Dec 14th that my:
Skill 1 = – 40%
Skill 2 = – 15%
Skill 4 = – 10%
grenade barrage = -10%

Since the grenade kit damage is equal to pvp now?
that is a lot worst then just a 30% drop on skill one…. for us PvE players.

is this correct?

yes it was that huge a nerf

yepp, they sneaked in a pretty bad additional PvE/WvWvW damage reduction without the “need” to propperly address it, just by saying “PvE and PvP damage is equal now”, neat huh?

So true because I can ride a dolyak and my flamethrower shoots out t-shirts

PVE = -30%
PVP = -15% + -15% for a earlier patch.

“to balance against using sigils” exactly how does this equate to balance? I don’t grenade (FT + EG engi) but this appears much too extreme.

If the nerf was to adjust for general balance, OK, but don’t pretend it’s balancing for sigils, any monkey can see through that.

okay, adjust balancing for sigils, and nerf by 30% but that’s okay since kits take my weapon stats…oh wait
