Guild Wars 2

I’m stuck at work, so it would be great if someone could look at these things in game.

- Does Mental Defense now have a different cooldown than Phantasmal Defender?
- Does Mental Defense cooldown get reduced by 20% by Ilusionists Celerity trait in Illusions?
- Does Mental Defense cooldown get reduced by Persistence of Memory?

Thx!

Hi,

- Yes.
- Certainly.
- Absolutely.

greez!

it is quite huge… it can be 9 second loss in a minute …

Thanks for the quick answers.

I guess I’ll need to get a feel for how for how the timing changes. It seems like these aren’t big enough changes for me to totally give up my current build, but they all make it a little worse.

From a psychological point of view, Anet would be best off in their next balance update to try to package together some benefits with some nerfs. Humans are very “loss averse”, so seeing only loses will always make people unhappy.

^ Anet has never grasped that concept.

Same for the meaning of the word “tweak”, as that kinda implies amounts less than 100% , 50%, or even 33%. They prefer shaves, and thus we have the unbalanced pile of dung that we now have for a game, and are left with 75% useless junk on most professions and ZERO build diversity.

GG ANET!

You have to wonder if anyone in management is awake to allow this esports thing to ruin their game.
