Guild Wars 2

• Druid: Astral Force is no longer gained when healing a target that is already at full health

There you go, two whole days. No more AF gain OOC from now on, they didn’t even revert the staff #1 change.

This is even worse than before, because you can’t even gain AF with TU at full health.

Making balance changes in the middle of progression seems beyond careless when you have broken things like Slick Shoes to fix still. Might want to get to fixing that one of these years and not let it fester like Fiery Rush.

Now it’s next to impossible to gain astral force out of combat. Seriously? What is going on?

This is kinda akward. In order for us to use our class mechanic in a 1v1. We have to allow ourselves to take damage.

In team fights we won’t be able to perform emergency heals anymore unless the fight lasts long enough to build it up.

I actually feel like ill want to do as little healing as possible now. Just let regen tick. And try to thread the needle on my astral force gain through that instead of healing with say cultivated synergy which is less efficient.

Aha! What a clever update to get Druids to use Most Dangerous Game. I see what you did there, Anet. I applaud your efforts. Now, the best profession mechanic in the game can now utilize the best trait in the game. Bravo!

So….am I suppose to repeatedly jump off a cliff now?

You’re supposed to take in a crapload of damage or make sure your allies don’t dodge/mitigate damage.

sigh I was having so much fun playing Ranger. Guess I’ll have to shelf it for awhile.

ANET, I hope you’re proud.

That we can’t mitigate….so moral of the story is take one for the team?

GG Irenio.

Way to screw us again.

The ironic part is that’s what I did to regain my AF with regeneration. Sad right?

The worst part about this patch is that they STILL haven’t fixed Celestial #5 in PvE. Yet they nerfed something we were genuinely happy with.

That’s why this change doesn’t make sense to me. If people want to go through the trouble of it, they still can generate it OOC through fall dmg (unless there is no high ground).

And that, in a nutshell, is how they balance our class.
