Guild Wars 2

From a WvW player,

I have read that temporal curtain is going to get nerfed providing only 6 seconds of speed instead of 12. Come on Anet! Mesmers is the class with the worst speed access (most mesmers using travelers in wvw). I don’t want to use travelers and usually keep switching focus/pistol during wvw fights. With this nerf, non travelers mesmers will have a heavy loss in wvw movement capacity (in the new map it will be insane! its huge). Do I have to switch GS/staff for chaos armor buff now? Too many switches just to run like other classes already do without effort.

If you think that the benefits of buffing the whole zerg with speed are good enough to compensate the nerf in duration, you are wrong. What about mesmers not zerging? What about roamers? Mesmers speed buff is not needed in zerg right now, with so many guardians, perma speed is granted. Why do you nerf temporal curtain then? The only reason I find is just to nerf non support mesmers (not using staff), aka roamers aka phantasm mesmers. If you Anet think that phantasms mesmers are OP, nerf their damage output, but not their mobility across the map, because it is already a kitten mobility!

I run centaur runes when I roam soo… doesn’t really affect me. However, this is kind of bs. It already doesn’t stack on top of other swiftness, and now its going to be even worse?

False alarm, patch notes were confirmed to be bogus.

it said 6 seconds , but can now applied if u had swiftness before, means u can actually run through mulltiple times for much speed

patch notes false tho so dont bother

Only person more stupid than the one who’d believe those fake mesmer notes (no offense) is the idiot who attempted to pass them off as something legit.

Anet buffed curtain swiftness duration in the past. Why revert it? So stupid.

To make it stackable instead.

Let’s see… imagine you run over your curtain 4 times in a row:

4 × 6 seconds = 24 seconds
4 × 12 seconds = 48 seconds

48 seconds of swiftness with a single skill on such a short cooldown would have been way over the top. Thus, this change didn’t look THAT unlikely.

Edit: Btw, adding “no offense” to an insult doesn’t make it less of an insult. And before you ask… I did not “believe” them. But I considered them to actually be possible, even though I didn’t really like them myself.

Whoa, deja vu.

Just because you wouldn’t do it (I guess you refer to your post in the other topic where you said that you wouldn’t want to do that), doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t be possible to do it.

It’s got nothing to do with what I want. This is how TC worked way back. They nerf-broke it precisely for this reason and it’s never fully recovered (still stacks with absolutely nothing).

Stackable swiftness in this fashion may look like a buff, but mechanically its a nerf, If you have to flee, or chase. stopping to run over a curtain is counter intuitive. Nerf.

Exactly, i’d rather have my 12s than 24s if i run the curtain left and right like a madman.

Just leave it 12 sec and let it stack with other buffs and refresh itself while passing again → 12 sec cap.

There is simply no reason why they would do this ==> I CALL HOAX
