Guild Wars 2

I think the collective costs of our weapon skills need to be looked at and rescaled…
(Specifically our Power weapons in sPvP, condi seems fine atm.)

It made sense to have some of our weapon skills cost so much energy before they were nerfed. We shouldn’t be able to unleash a weapon skill combo that could down somebody and then still have blocks, that would be ridiculous. But now, we still have to choose between an offensive burst or a life saving block, only now our offensive capabilities aren’t so devastating.

This puts us at a huge disadvantage against warriors and thieves (the classes we’re most likely going to have to fight 1v1’s against) who lose no offensive momentum when using their defensive skills. I think this was fine—probably even slightly in our favor—before the nerf to Surge and Precision Strike, but now both those fights seem unwinable at best against equally skills opponents. You can stalemate a warrior until help arrives, but he gets the point… And you can take the point from thieves, but their hit and run will eventually down you if help doesn’t arrive.
