Guild Wars 2

Rather than thread after thread after thread of ehrmageddonnerf…

Why not theorycraft ways the changes can work, and then give feedback after having tested the changes.

I mean those of you that are revenant fans, have to have a little bit of faith in Roy so far right?

Maybe the changes are for the best?

I don’t really need to wait until BWE3 to know that the new Unyielding Anguish is gonna be MUCH weaker(the radius is pretty small) nor do I need it to know that EtD isn’t worth -8 upkeep.

Yeah, I mean torment just isn’t good enough in a game where a stack of burn does 4 times as much as stack of any other condi or more. Condi mesmer is in a similar boat, however it can frontload the torment and confusion better while being unable to hold a point.

I’m also concerned that the new torment boosting trait that roy is considering will take the place of spontaneous destruction. We need more boon removal, not less.

In general the changes seemed geared towards hurting condi bunker rev’s ability in conquest. In the last beta it was literally a 2013 spirit ranger with better support. Now, it will be okay, but this and retribution trait changes will make it less viable.

It seems like Roy wants us all to play zerker shiro/glint.

Personally I’m a PvE’r so I don’t mind this. But when I do pvp, I’m usually going for the condition builds. The malyx playstyle seemed quite interesting and fit it’s theme very well. Now I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be other than just another condition applying build.
