Guild Wars 2

Just a thought here, but:

For each second of cool down added to the skills, a part of the idea/mechanic/etc. of the Revenant goes away.

Dear Anet, please stop adding cool down increases to a class already limited by its energy supply. You’re double limiting us enough.

They shold have reworked the skill instead of rasising it cd. It doesnt fix anything at all and people will continue to complain. Rev dps is a joke honestly in current state pve wise.

yea, cool downs … we do have an energy bar whilst playing Revenant. So why the kitten not leave the responsability to us how we spend the energy – like thiefs initiative bar.

But then I hear some fellers (PVPers, PVEers, never mind) not able to dodge uttering: “ooh, but Revenant Hammer 2 hits too hard” or “do the math blah” – Fellow: dodge. If you can’t take a beating, beat it for kittens sake. i do like euphemisms btw. I see it all the time at tequatls. Fellers not able to move around biting the dust first seconds in to the encounter. Its one simple reply: Learn how to play. Even I with my double-tap dodge manage to not to bite the dust all the time at tequatls. And if I encounter a better player in WvW who hands me back my sylvari backside (yea, my rev is one tiny sylvari lass) on a platter, then that’s entirely my fault due to not being quick enough or able enough, not the other ones. (because he has a soooo OP char)

My impression is that the rev gets shattered to shingles. It been great, hitting very hard while reqiring one to stay on the balls. Now … hitting medium to mediocre (with all those increased CDs) while still requiring one to stay on the balls. Thanks but so very much.

Point: I detest responsability being taken away from me – as well as being hampered by utterly useless cool downs which reduce a quite agile class to something more resembling a kitten brick.

(and no, i am not going to complain about how completely broken Thief is – I don’t play mine very often to avoid frustration. Wrong forum btw.)

yours sincerly

In all honesty, I’d rather see an increase in energy cost rather than having any type of CD.

Wasnt you the one who defended cd on PT? Hmmm..

what exactly do you mean? rev is still top 3/4 depending how you look at it, so its fine, even tho it could use a little buff.

Increasing the cool down of a skill reduces the amount you can use that skill without reducing the amount you can use other skills. There are already a high number of skills that totally tank your energy, if Anet start increasing the cost of other skills we’re going to end up doing nothing but popping one skill then auto attacking until legend swap.

I would prefer a purely energy based system but one with energy gains and losses, say certain combinations of skills giving you a burst of energy or a zealous upgrade! I miss my zealous scythe of enchanting… Revs energy system is a little too simplistic, as it is the energy system is basically just a global cool down.

Heck no! That wasn’t me. I have always advocated against having any sort of cool down on weapon or utility skills at all ever since pre-beta.

I’m bumping this again. I think this latest nerf warrants it.

Dear Anet,remove the freakin CD’s off our utilities already…it’s too much BS!
