Guild Wars 2

So, pre patch the attack/spin frequency for warden was:

• 13.704 sec – Without PH
• 12.307 sec – With PH

Now, post patch:

• 14.180 sec – Without PH
• 14.180 sec – With PH

Basically, without PH it takes 0.5sec longer before iWarden spins again and with PH, about 1.875 sec longer. This, in addition to the “fix” where warden doesn’t reflect after animation stops any longer, is pretty much a kitten sized nerfbat to the iWarden’s reflect uptime.

PS: for 1 Warden + 2 Swordsmans setup, the warden nerf was effectively a 2% dps nerf for direct damage mesmers as a whole…

So PH doens’t work with iW … again. Well, the reflect uptime was just weird and needed to be fixed tbh. Fixes can result into nerfs, true, but they have to be done. Well, but seriously, who uses PH anyway? There is almost no situation, is there? Open world and maybe Arah?

I noticed longer “waiting” duration too , i was thinking it’s a sneaky nerf , but with PH bug … sigh

Really? O.o Why????

It has to be a bug. It really has to.
