Q:

It has been a long time since I used his build in wvw,and I loved it. I want to use it again but for some reason people say it’s not viable anymore? Why? What was it that got nerfed? The retaliation effect? Some key traits? O.o

A:

Yep, it did get nerfed into oblivion I’m afraid. The mechanics relied on using the 5 point minor in inspiration, vengeful images, to put retaliation onto phantasms and then amplify the effect with the iDefender. Now, that trait only applies retaliation for 5 seconds, making it more or less worthless.

I recently tried to get it working again by using the Signet of Inspiration to spread a large stack of retaliation to all my illusions, but it just ended up being far too clunky to really use it as an effective tool.

Ahh,so the minor Inspiration trait used to give infinite retaliation? O.o It’s been so long I can’t remember that lol. If that’s the case it sucks major kittens.

Yes, it was infinite retaliation before.

Here is the old form of the trait: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/index.php?title=Vengeful_Images&oldid=553262 .

I miss it!
