Guild Wars 2

So, I mostly play hybrid builds for wvw, Tanky armor with crit dmg trinkets and that setup is just now totally kitten. My ranger melee roaming builds have lost like 50% crit dmg.

So much for build diversity. Everyone will either be in just condi or all zerk now. Way to eliminate a great build type Anet. kittening annoyed about this, I was looking forward to the patch, but now im just kittened off.

stack power and ferocity grab some sigils of intel and blow people up (only done it in spvp so far but its kinda dumb) precision is not nearly as good now with the sigil changes with 40-50% crit chance you are way better off

PvP and WvW are two different animals and have far different tactics and builds most of the time.

Well 3 free crits on a 9 sec cd is nithing to shrug off I can imagine it has its uses in wvw as well but ill leave that to players like who r more experienced in wvw then me

Yep I went from 60% crit damage to 37% crit damage with a soldier armor + zerk trinket setup. But this is on top of 150% crit damage so the actual result is 210/187 = about 13% less on my crits.

Ive countered by upping my power 10% taking away from precision, but added a lot of fury traits (new WS grandmaster, GS fury trait, sigil of intelligence) so it works about the same, maybe even better…

My crit damage went from 204% to 207% for some reason, I don’t have any buffs or anything, but once I actually crunch the number I’m sure I will find the reason why. My crit chance DID go down about 12%, which is fine in my opinion. I’m not particularly tanky, so that may be why it hasn’t affected me as much. Maybe you can find a new, viable alternative?
