Potential leak of 6/25 changes
Stability blocking fear is why the Corrupt Boon nerf hurts so bad. It was your prep skill for your other fears, would fear their stability and then open them up to your other ones.
Now unless Corrupt works on a priority system with stability near the top, its just a roll of the dice against some opponents, and if you don’t get their stability, you can’t use your fears till the buff runs its course.
You could run focus 5 to strip their remaining boons I suppose, but its getting a lot more messy with the cast time there and sacrificing OH dagger.
Well, I don’t do much sPvP because I don’t like it, however I can see why you are making a big fuss out of it. It makes it harder for your opponent to capture a point. However, most of the other classes already got ways to annoy you if you lack stability. Guardians using a hammer (Knockdowns), Shield (5# skill), staff (Wall preventing anyone from passing). Warriors can equip so many CC abilities (Stomp, kick, Charge…etc). Rangers can knockback. Engineers tons of knockbacks+turrets. Elementalists, Knockback with Air + Earth attunements. Mesmers daze, stun, and AOE fields. Thief, blind spec, however they never meant to be bunkers anyways.
Necromancers currently only have the Fear from DS and the Staff skill 5#. An extra CC won’t be OP in my opinion. We never know, they even might give it certain limitations like they did to Near to Death (30% instead of 50%).
Engineer and Elementalist in progress…
Any of you guys play GW1? There were skill leaks like this all the time, and many were true. I remember when Visions of Regret was changed in 2009, and days earlier there was a leak saying the exact same thing. So I am inclined to believe this one is true.
Now that the official patch it out, just want to say I told you so. lol
I see no improvement at all ,all i see is torment and burning but thief and Mesmer’s are getting (burn ) as well is seems to me they way this game is going thief and mesmers are just getting more and more stronger no matter if their nerf or not
I see huge buff for WvW Nec Well PowerBuild.
I’m a bit baffled, considering that it gets, over the already strong base, stability/breakstun, CD reduction and the new spectral wall…but can’t say i’m not pleased.
Most used: Guard/Mes/War/Nec/Ele.
Yes, i use 5 chars at time. Because REASONS.
