Guild Wars 2

While I am happy to see Sharpening Stone receive another much deserved buff, I am very dissapointed to see sharpened edges receive a 50% nerf. I believe that Sharpened Edges as a trait encouraged condition druids to push for more precision in order to maximize damage instead of bunkering down with vitality and toughness. With this nerf, the value of running precision over vitality is harder to justify. I’d like to test the changes when I get home, but I feel like this change may be more negative than positive and result in a loss of damage for high precision builds in practice.

In conjunction with sharpening stone with corresponding trait it doesnt feel like a huge drawback as far as i testet it. I am not fully seraph right now but there is precision and condi major and it feels very useful together with SS and traps and AS.
