Guild Wars 2

And they say they are making “critical damage changes”. Sounds like yet another nerf to thief to me, just not directly. Discuss.

I’ve made a post here outlining their probable changes. You guys get too worried.

I’d be fine with a slight crit nerf; the hyperbolic scaling it has currently is kind of breaking the whole game, including Thief gameplay (it makes us seem a lot stronger than we actually are).

In PvE, agreed. In PvP, there are a ton of GC so it makes damage seem higher. In WvW, people tend to be much more tanky. The crit nerf is a bad idea there.

Add certain amount of crit ressist to mobs/bosses. Issue solved w/o affecting pvp.
