  • Well of Precognition now applies only one stack of aegis for 0.5s. Cast time increased to 1.5s. To get in line with CS we also increased the CD to 75.

xD Oh we shouldn’t call the devils name, we really shouldn’t :P


Those are my dream patchnotes:

  • Well of Precognition no longer applies aegis, it now blocks for 3 full seconds.
  • Well of Precognition no longer grants endurance with the finishing tic. It now makes you unblockable for 3s.
  • Well of Precognition cast time reduced to 0.25s.
  • Well of Recall cast time reduced to 0.5s and the CD from 45 to 40s to get in line with other wells and CS.
  • CS no longer works with elite skills.
  • Time Warp CD reduced to 90.
  • Mass Invisibility duration increased to 10s.
  • Signet of Humiliation CD reduced to 60s and duration reduced to 6s.
  • Gravity Well CD reduced to 50.
  • iAvenger intentionally does not work with PH to provide more build diversity.
  • While traiting Chronomancer, phantasms now inherit the Alacrity buff when you get it for the same duration.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the scepter auto attack to be slower on range.
  • Removed vulnerability from staff auto attack.
  • Staff #4 now grants chaos armor to everyone in a 360 radius (5 targets).
  • Switched “Duelist’s Discipline” with “Evasive Mirror” in the Duelling traitline.
  • Mantras now recharge themselves over time.
  • Mantras can now have 3 stacks (baseline).
  • Harmonious Mantras now increases the recharge speed of Mantras by 33%.
  • Restorative Mantras heal halfed and now heals on Mantra use.

The dream _

Greez!

Personally I think we should lose the ability of having illusionary persona when we are using the chronomancer line. That is the only fair nerf that should be implemented. That would reduce the amount of moa transformation people have be complaining about and it looks like a fair trade given that we gain the ability of resetting skills.

IR was already nerfed and I don’t see it requiring any sort of ICD or additional change to it.

It’s Anet, who knows what could happen to this trait if they get a hold of it. I just get the feeling with the pro league players saying the spec is over the top that Anet will swing the nerf bat, and that nerf bat is random as hell.

They nerfed glamours last patch reducing the resistance from 3 seconds to 2 in glamour fields. Why? can anyone tell me what this change was in aid of? Why it happened? Why the balance team did this? Am i missing something blatantly OP and obvious about glamour builds? All those OP as hell glamour mesmers in WvW/PvP/PvE?

It was a niche alternative pick for Chorno bunkers in PvP. That was it.

Pretty much every single aspect of that build was hit with a massive nerf bat, every niche alternative was hit, precognition was basically removed from the game, all its counters were buffed even more and entire game mechanics were changed to attack that build untill it was completly destroyed.

Its the single worse case of hamfisted kneejerk nerfing I’ve ever seen in an MMO, but ofcourse the PvP forums cheered thus cementing this game to never have anything close to resemblence of balance.
