[PVE] If you want to nerf alacrity...
You should prepare for your great finale.
I think you’re overestimating. As I estimated in my “napkin maths”, alacrity to 33% is still enough with quickness to make up for our low DPS.
At least make its application better, like changing “Flow of Time” to AoE Alacrity on shatter. Also, I hope the change to Malicious Sorcery is not the only “rework” on scepter…

It could have been A LOT worse.
Already made a thread about that here:

I’m actually ok about this. It’s 100% justified.
“Mentoring engineers / mesmers and showing you what you can do with your fantastic class!
Just pm me for my advice! Always eager to help!”
Didnt like the way they choose to put the things. Somewhere between lines was said smthg like: " we didnt want to nerf alacrity uptime instead cause it could be solved by stacking more mesmers".
Is fine to stack other classes with same or different build types (dps/condi/etc) except mesmer for its only role (support). Did they think that replacing other dps for mesmer for alacrity uptime would reduce the overall dps serving the why it was nerfed? (“increased party dmg for 66% and it was too much , so we nerfed”)
Also the nerfing blow to alacrity had the perfect situation in mind to claim the “66%” increase.. Wich only happens on hotm golems or skilled guilds.
