Guild Wars 2

Okay the search on this forum isn’t helpful. I wanted to bring this up.

One of my favorite guardian combos was always mighty blow + judge’s intervention (or leap of faith for gs).

It was removed by JI not working mid-air. This has to do with the new content being vertical and them phasing out any way to avoid fall damage via skill timing. Isnt there some sort of way this could be done aside from ruining existing things? Is leap status the same as airborne?

I hate to be negative but I feel like things like this are pretty common lately during the forced march to push out the expansion.

I hear ya, leap of faith+JI was my personal favorite.
Feels like a lazy fix

I wish we could revert it back or get a fix for this. JI used to combo really well with those two, as well as Dragon Hunter’s Wings of Resolve. It really took a sizeable chunk of combo power out of DH

It definitely feels like a lazy fix. I’m sure they could altar fall damage calculations so you can still teleport mid air but take fall damage if its due.

but I’m not even sure I see such a thing as an exploit. why can’t it be skillful timing and use of a skill? maybe tweak some other skills to work the same way so they’re available to more people?

Lazy…this is exactly the single consistency you can find accross all guardians changes:
cd reduction
copy paste of existing mechanisms
fix which break 5 time more than it fixes
number tweaking
