Anet you disgust me yet again.
Well honestly, the only truly bad thing is the WoP change, which is terrible because it’s not a mesmer-well now, but a guardian one. Well done, destroying class identity and all.
Other than that, why is this only ~20 changes? Why not ~200, looking at our plethora of traits and skills never used, that’s not even to mention our interactions with stats, relative trait balances, line-identity, etc, etc, etc? This is tiiiiiny for a quartery patch. :S
We all knew it was coming …
The real problem , is that some people here tried to encourage others that the patch won’t be as bad , or that we don’t know everything yet , so people were expecting some changes in a good direction for pve at least (everyone agreed that mesmer would die in pvp)
Until Anet decides it’s worth having two balance teams for PvE and PVP Mesmer will continued to get kitteneed over in all aspects of the game whenever they are nerfed because of trait reliance.
And maybe now people will stop trying to defend Anet as much. The balance team is lack luster to say the least and with absolutely no Dev response on WoP nerf, misinformation about alacrity being issued on the stream… Ugh

I think people were hoping for something like the pre HoT patch. At least I was. Todays patch just isn’t enough if this is supposed to be it for the next three months.
