Guild Wars 2

Yeah I want to know exactly how much testing went into this recent nerf with the SB, I want to know if this was done to Nerf dmg builds for botters in a crude attempt to make it more difficult for them. This isn’t a utility skill or a secondary attack, this is the SB MAIN ATTACK, making any sort of changes to this can seriously affect the usefulness of the ranger class, and thanks to that Ive seen people not ask for rangers in the level 80 dungeons because of your 10-15% dmg nerf. So tell me Anet how much did you guys actually look into this issue before implementing the changes that you did. I’m not trying to be rude but it would certainly shed some light on quite a few other questions if we know why you felt the need to nerf the rangers main attack skill as your “animation glitch” doesn’t seem viable and from what people see it was not even present.

Im pretty sure that if it had been because of the damage, they would have said so. ANet has NEVER come up with “excuses” for nerfs.

They are so direct that back in GW1, when they couldn’t fix a certain skill (it stayed OP no matter what nerf) they made it practically unusable (huge recharge, 5 sec duration). They completely honest about this nerf and admitted that they didn’t see a fix.

I’d like to take a guess, is it Smiter’s Boon?
but srsly id like to kno if Izzy is anywhere near ranger skills.
