following the patches, you are highly disappointing me.

On first reveal revenant pointed out to bring the combat system you introduced with the thief-class on the next level.
Skills are all energy based. A whole class just working around it’s energy. Not only weapon skills, even utility. All just based on ow you manage your moves, not on nasty cooldowns!
All a player ever wants to have!
Play like you want, only limited by your power!

Sounds too good to be true, but you got half way done with thief, so why not!?!

But with every reveal and patch, it looks like you just gave up. Building an expansion ist a lot of stuff to do and improoving a fast, modern battle system even more. But that should not be a reason to stop developing great thinks!

Please keep going the great work, which made us enjoy gw and gw2 so far.

You can do better than just 5min fixes by adding some crippling cooldown here and there!

I can’t understand this.

Are you disappointed with the cooldowns on skills and utilities? They’re really quite low and most people are fine with it…

Even if I understand the overall feeling, balance comes into the game at some point.
Energy management allows us to have generally a bit stronger skill since they sorta share the same global cooldown but this would mess up with balance since we could spam CC and you cant put it on high energy otherwise you’ll never use it. It’s math/economy applied to skills.
So well it had to go that way to have balnced skills but overall better ones.

The cooldowns are needed for the more powerful skills. I would have added cooldowns to more skills if I were Roy.

Because energy + cooldowns is much better at balancing skills than just having one of them available.

New UA has gotten 10 seconds and it’s not at all powerful with no CC anymore.
