Guild Wars 2

Did anyone else notice Renewed Focus was clipped from a 3 second duration to a 2 second duration? No mention of this in the patch notes.

Just saw that. Better be a mistake. No reason to change RF, it wasn’t overly powered as it was. Another patch, another two weeks to debate shelving my guard.

Probably going to quit playing for a bit until next guardian patch or:
1) Condition’s get a nerf. (Reduced Duration by 5% for the amount of condition applied on a single target. Or something else ANET can think of.)

2) Let us cure more than 2 conditions on PoV because face it. 2 wasn’t even enough.

Obviously can’t be both but choose one.

This isn`t the first nerf that has gone undocumented for the guardian. After coming back to the game after a break I noticed right away defense and scepter damage was reduced.

we want official respond!!!!!!!!!!!!! and when you are here change the pov back to remove 2 condis
the only reason i play my guard now is because i make kittening bifrost for it and its rank 700+ in wvw T_T

Maybe they want people to trait Elite Focus… lol

Anyways, I hope this is just a bug.

Renewed Focus wasn’t 3 seconds prior to the patch anyway (regardless of what the tooltip said). Always seemed 2 seconds to me – tested with a timer under Lupicus’ float-in-the-air AoE lifesteal attack.

No it does last definitely less now. It’s not a tooltip fix.

i never paid much attention to tooltips in-game.. but wasn’t RF always supposed to 2 seconds? 2 seconds if traited.

though, tbh, it always felt like 3 seconds (untraited) to me.

it said 3 before patch

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Renewed_Focus

Wiki page says it all. Hasn’t been updated for this patch yet.

Invulnerability duration lasts only 2 seconds, 3 seconds with Elite Focus

We got a tooltip update.

Awesome! now all the guardian who thought RF got nerfed will be comming back!

I know I know, you guys were lying the whole time, you had no intentions of leaving. Now that you know you were operating at 66% invinvibilty from what the tool tip said you should be proud that you are all so awesome.

People are too wound up after this patch. If you guys want some good comedic relief, go read ranger posts lol.

I never really understand responses like this. What do you want us to compare kitten list and feel better. Still got kitten at the end of day. Play both classes and you got a double serving.

We should complain. It is not a bad thing to let the devs know what we want vs the whole, “I am going to quit!” thing. We let them know on warrior and it might have taken months but they got around to making things better….then OP. Then player rushed in who quit the class and told vets who said things were too strong that they were wrong. And I know that once guardian gets it’s buff the same will happen.Even at the risk of cheese dominating the landscape we must continue to inform the devs of what we do not like. It is for the good of the game.

Once upon a time, years and years ago, the Monks of Guild Wars 1 revolted against their mandatory position as only good for healz. They rebelled and complained, gathered together and refused to provide healz until ANet gave them the attention they wanted and provide for them a solid source of damage. ANet listened.

Hm.. but anet maybe count the invulnerable Renewed Focus like this (as they do with all other skills): 2 – 1,5 – 1 – 0,5 – 0
What do you think. Is that basically 3 seconds or do you count that as 2?

you dont say “two→one→zero” but only “one→zero”

we dont have 11 fingers

Just found this out when doing Arah just then.
what the kitten is this… seriously.

Part of the campaign to gradually buff warriors while nerfing all others.

Just make it a stun breaker already!

Hmmm it always felt like 2 secs to me.

I htink that already was 2 seconds, only the description was wrong. But I’m not 100% sure. All our Elites sucks, I already accepted that.

It was definitely more than 2 seconds before the patch. I used to be able to stand inside lupi’s phase 3 aoe life drain for the whole duration with RF. Now RF’s invuln expires before the life drain ticks end.

I would like a response as well.

I think it may have been an undocumented bug fix. I think it was supposed to be 2 seconds base and 3 second with Elite Focus.

This sounds exactly like what happened with the Warrior Forums.

Guys, if you want it addressed, you MUST open a thread over in the bugs forum.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs

They don’t fix or even discuss bugs in the individual class boards anymore. There is a sticky at the top of this board that says exactly that.

the fact that the tooltip changed with it suggest that it is intentionally changed but for some reason they specifically leave it out of the release notes
