Guild Wars 2

Before I go into the Mallyx rage with everyone, this trait is completely gutted.

Redeeming Protection

• Eye for an Eye: The Redeeming Protection trait has been merged with this one. When Eye for an Eye triggers, you will also gain protection for 5 seconds.
• Redeeming Protection: This trait has been merged with Eye for an Eye

It was perfect before because of its low 5 second recharge and can proc when your getting 1v2 or when your getting focused in a team fight.

Now you increased its recharge with Eye for an Eye to give it a 45 second cool down and taunt a single foe…

1) 1 v 1 – If someone is taunted they dont really hit that hard when your playing a bunker, if they are disabled with taunt, what is the point of the protection then?

2) Team fight- if 3 ppl decide to target you in a team fight, taunting one person for 3 seconds isnt going to save you, at least if you proc crystal hibernation you can count on Redeeming protection to proc again if your CC’d. With the 45 second recharge I’m not feeling it.

3) Lack of stun breaks – You dont get a lot of stun breaks with Rev and the ones you do cost a lot of energy or you have to use a trait for legend swap which pigeon holes you. Since I run Mallyx/Ventari, I highly depend on this trait to recover from CC.

Now Mallyx.

Roy Cronacher.1576:

Though, allies directly impacted this play style. While you were around allies, especially players running support, it created tension and frustration between the two players. You wouldn’t want to be near these other players that removed conditions from you as it weakened your skills.

I really dont know who you got that feedback from, whoever it was doesn’t PvP.

1) You killed the condi application, plain and simple, I used the elite when Rezzing team mates or cleaving the enemy team on point, it was great for punishing team comps that relied a lot on condis pressure. Even when your team mates use support condi clear, you would still get a full bar of conditions cause of the high condi pressure on the point.

2) If you got 1 v 2 on point bunkering, it gave you a great anti pressure tool to keep them off the point

3) Destroyed the use of toggling the elite on and off – Toggling it on to get the 3 second condi burst on players was great cause you can still apply condi pressure while still having enough energy to use my other skills/utilities

What am I suppose to do now? Turn on the elite and let it drain all my energy and just press 111111111111111111111111111 in hopes the enemy is in melee range to get hit.

At lease with copying condis, you could copy a snare on the enemy to keep them in place, now it sucks.

Already was making the Legendary Axe for this class cause I was hyped for it, but now it sucks if these changes go through. Can Anet give me a refund for my gold cause there is no way this will be viable.

mallyx noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Give your feedback in the feedback thread, we don;t need 5000 seperate threads for them to keep an eye instead of 1 main.

Thank you for your constructive feedback

Greek.4396:

Even when your team mates use support condi clear, you would still get a full bar of aids cause of the high condi pressure on the point.

slight tangent:

ive gotten infractions for using the common gw2 slang of aids and cancer in condi discussions because moderators consider it “pejorative”. while i think their stance is stupid and maybe that slang exists because poor design of condition based play leads to players having negative connotations about conditions, your feedback wont be heard if they come in and delete your main post because of the content.

Fixed Original post, thanks for looking out ^^

Well the new weakness trait they added seems to be an apropriate subsitute. Still, they should have used that to merg/replace reflexive summon since the retribution GMs are still kind of horrible.

I am pretty sad for the protection trait being removed all together since it was pretty helpful.

Other than that there are a lot of grand master traits that still are very weak. I wonder why Roy didn’t look into those :/

At first it seemed a good merge, but now that you made me think about it yeah…5s on kitten CD is basically useless.
it has to go up to at least 10s to be worth, because in the same tier I usually prefer Ratailatory Evasion..
