Guild Wars 2

Anet you need to consider balancing the game again before the expac. scourge at this point is just better at all roles than reaper.
1. Scourge has more health than reaper and they can heal themselves more.
– Since scourge is not in a shroud they can heal from transfusion. and assuming a scourge can keep up barrier on itself it has more health too.

2. Scourge has more ways to survive.
– they have a portal. reaper on the other hand is a sitting duck even with their leap.

3. Scourge has more dps potential.
– with scourge getting burning on torment and the sheer amount of torment on scourge it certainly seems like it will do more condi dps than reaper. reaper wasn’t even suppose to do condi.

4. Scourge can actually help teammates.
– reaper is selfish and doesn’t do as much as scourge in terms of support.

Anet I love your game and your classes but you failed to make reaper into a power spec and now scourge is just an upgrade. please consider making more suitable changes.

at the end of the day idk if scourge will be better.

I am hoping and praying for a day one launch patch to fix Reaper. I’m hoping they just kept stuff the same so people can still run Condi Reaper until launch, and then will make Reaper an actual Power build.

I mean having two Condition Elites would be dumb.

I would have thought there would have been changes to improve power reaper now if they had any plans too, but instead they made it mildly worse. So I think RIP to power reaper.

That is the point. Do not forget that the only Anet goal is to make money. So they are going to destroy each pre Path of Fire build in order to force ppl to buy the expansion to keep up.

Couldn’t have been said better. I understand they’re trying to promote the expansion because that’s what a business does but dismantling the vast majority of the builds for a complete class is an ignorant way to go about it

I doubt scourge will even be that good, the way it looks right now it’s a support class that needs heavy support to do anything.

Yeah and we’ve already had one expansion as an example of this. They’re going to make the new spec better than the old one to sell it, since you can only use one elite spec at a time, they’re always going to make the new spec better to sell the expansions. No such thing as balance to old specs.
