Guild Wars 2

so i just fought a p/p perplexitryhard thief in wvw in a zerg, and as a necro that build is absolutely freaking obnoxious. literally nothing i can do about him interrupting my sal;kjaeroiud.

why weren’t these stupid kitten runes nerfed anet? huh?!

oh and hey, remember those kitten toy monkeys that have two symbols on their hands? yeah, my necromantic kitten head was between them for a solid 2 minutes. i swear, i couldn’t remember the lyrics to jingle bells with that kitten happening.
thief: YOU CONFUSED YET?
necro: JUST A LITTLE BIT BRO
thief: WELL ILL JUST KEEP DOING IT OKAY?!
necro: GOT IT. HAVE FUN HOLMES. ILL JUST YKNOW WATCH MY FLESH GOLEM PLAY THIS VIOLIN

It is kind of strange how specific builds are being targeted to be absolutely owned 10x over. It is like having a big shot of RNG in the botox, as Private Ryan would say.

I was like, sweet runes..!
I bought them applied them.. and realized fear doesn’t interrupt and my other interrupt skill doesn’t interrupt either or works at all.

So i cried little.

The 6/6 got given a 7 second cool down on the Confusion application. Personally i think they need to remove the failed experiment that was Initiative and give Thief proper cool downs like the rest of us and then maybe Chill would actually HURT them…

cool down on those is nowhere near long enough for the duration given.

Edit: Nah Chill just need to add +Init cost to simulate the recharge penalty.

I dunno, what other class has the ability to spam there most power attack several times in a row and with traits and such they can have more of it as well as faster regen in stealth which they go into at EVERY opportunity

I don’t mind the initiative system, the problem only arises when anet introduces powerful mechanics a lot of classes have to jump through hoops to get/use with it. Immobilize and dazes are far too powerful an ability to be spammed, but it’s happening and it’s allowed.

In most cases I have to hope these guys don’t interrupt me or dodge when I drop a putrid mark/deathly swarm, then I can finally heal in peace as they panic with their own confusion on them. It’s a horrible rune and the people who build to use it clearly don’t expect much retaliation from their opponents. I personally hope it gets nerfed to the level of the superior rune of resistance (by that I mean an insane ICD) so people can move on from these troll builds.

At the very least, daze can’t be stacked with Headshot anymore since its duration was nerfed to be almost instantaneous. I still think it’s silly that a headshot is the equivalent of an annoyance.

i don’t mind the initiative system either: what i do mind is it only being available to one class.

bumping for lulzy OP.
