Fear is getting nerfed into the ground both on Skills and Runes

actually cant find a single Buff, but these are leaked so yea idk.

Wow, if this is real then that means they plan to nerf the rabid and carrion amulets on top of the nerfs to condi necromancers, and they weren’t even the ones that needed nerfed. :/

Fear nerf, condi amulet nerf. Time for power necro only in pvp?

I haven’t seen it yet thank you for posting.

I need to see if this will have a huge impact of the build that I use seems pretty good so far since i’m using power build.

But for condition necromancers (terror) its a big nerf tho.

Well i hope those notes are fake. Theres some stuff on multiple classes that i dont like the look of.

Whew…thats… Wow that looks a little painful. Some changes im happy to see. Others im midly worried about. I doubt terror builds will be completely killed however. I definetly think theyl take a beating.

The guardian changes listed here are interesting. There nerfing amplified wrath saying (condition guardian will be compensated in some other way) Im interested in what that other way is but hybrid guard has only just recently started becoming a thing. Im worried about what they consider compensation.

the ranger changes im mostly okay with. Wont kill the builds.

I dont think the changes to the Elementalist or Engineer will kill the builds even with the nerf to cele amulet theres a good chance theyl still be meta. However turret engineer may die out completely again. They were BARELY hanging on as it was.

No mention of Necromancer pet fixes however which dissapoints me. I really hope they get a series of fixes soon before MM necros give up on the game completely.

The lich change I can get behind. It was always akward being able to run away at 100% movement speed and still be able to hit targets.

This is all assuming its real however. It IS a leaked thing like Rave said so yeah.
Can’t assume even if it IS real that this is whatl actually happen either.

Its hopefully atleast not set in stone, and as Power Nec I rely heavy on Spinal Shivers trait and this -50% dmg is hard to take even if they make it AoE

Rave you gotta admit though if its an aoe…Imagine it in a WvW zerg grp. If every necro had spinal shivers…holy kitten.

These are fake, no doubt. Things like saying “fixed a bug where Life Transfer continued casting if life force was depleted” are obviously fake, considering they recently outright stated that that was intentional via fixing a bug that caused that to cancel in that situation.

These are somebody’s wishlists.

Soo…. this basically nerfs the living kitten out of the 0/6/4/0/4 necro while barely doing anything to the cele engis and eles……

So now everytime will just be eles and engis

@Drarnor Kunoram,

It might have been that the change you are talking about was meant more for ressing and stomping while in DS… and Life Transfer just got lumped into it because it’s a channeled skill so it got fixed along with ressing and stomping. I don’t know though.

If these were indeed to happen…
Doom: Fear duration at all distances set to 1 second.
Reaper’s Protection: Fear Duration reduced from 2 seconds to 1 second.
Terror: Damage no longer affects fears from Reaper’s Protection or Runes of the Nightmare.

… I think I’d have no words.

Although Runes of Nightmare could easily be replaced with something different… Reaper’s Protection wasn’t anywhere near OP….

Other clues are in the nerfing of Rabid and Carrion amulets. That would drop them below all other amulets.

No, these are not from ANet. These are somebody’s wishlist who hates dealing with condition builds.

If these are true, then Anet are biased NA only douchy baddie bags , getting fearchained and liched in a hotjoin

Like 1x nec is on top team and even that cz he has 2-4 other more OP classes supporting him..

cele amu… ok
carrion amu.. wtf?
rabid amu…. wtf?
nightmare runes nerf…. ok
balta and all power might stack runes …. no change, bravo
IP burn , ele burn ….ok
minor , i reapeat minor nerfs to most OP specs…. ok
major basicaly breaking mechanics for both power and condi nec specs… wtf?

The being able to join Q from hotjoin is a nice fix.

@Flumek I can understand condi necro but idk about power.

It’s so fake.. the guy who wrote this does not even know WTS 2’s next and not WTS 3. And the necro nerfs are just too extremely harsh despite the fact barely any top teams take necs.

And there are just too many “dream fixes” like teleport/steal bug, staff mark animations, incendiary powder buff icon, etc. Basically every fix the community wanted for 2+ years will suddenly happen in the next balance patch? I doubt it.

well I could get behind most of these but the necro changes and ammy changes are kinda out of place…

Lol man if this is a troll post then just…… wow. Dude has no life if he took the time to write up this whole list just to troll.

IF this is real then Spinal Shivers change idk if I like it or hate it. 50% damage reduction is an insane amount but the effect causing an AOE around the target is interesting. Assuming it strips + damage not only damage.

Theres been fake wishlist patch notes before. And they were much more detailed.

Obvious fake leak is obvious.

Got to wonder where else you saw these leaks at since there are no other post about leaks in any of the other professions subforums or even the pvp subforum.

well thanks for that info gives me a different perspective to look at the “patch notes”

Anything that adds hidden rules like: Terror: Damage no longer affects fears from Reaper’s Protection or Runes of the Nightmare. is either bad design or more evidence of fake notes.

Note: These changes will not take place until after World Tournament Series 3 finals as to not interrupt the competitive season.

Really hope they will not wait so long till the real patch notes are going live.

If this is real, I guess it’s time to rerol…

Maybe bad design, but fear in the current form needs some adjustments.

(Still believe the notes are fake.)

Lol if they nerf necro GW2 is kittened up. Last class who needs ‘em.
But if it’s true, time to get on my guardian and mesmer again

I think this more evidence of fake notes.

Heh. I guess someone had too much of a free time and troll intentions.

Sorry, but this is such a bullkitten I cannot even push myself into belief territory.

:)

No wonder somebody tries to throw an ugly rock into the lake and make a wave. It’s been still for such a long time.

didn’t believe it for a second lol

made by some celestial abuser no doubt, who apparently despises necros

TheDevice.2751:

Most likely a Mesmer, since every nerf was to things that hurt Mesmers and every buff was neutral or favorable to mesmers.

Keep in mind, last time they said the patch notes were fake they were actually all true and just incomplete because they didn’t mention the tooltip updates!

dramatic music plays

^ this. Wouldnt believe everything anet says, too many times burned. But since patch is far away this could be proposition/general idea for balance and we might actualy see some stuff from here in real patch. Logical changes or not, have you actualy seen official patch that would try logicaly balance this game in a way that players expect?
