Guild Wars 2

I keep seeing alot of omg this WILL, I WONT posts etc. has anyone actualy gone in and seen if they notice a big difference in play or people just writing posts at work with actually trying the change first? This looks like the ele forums after rtl change and healing change alot of uproar and then it quite down.

They changed the very foundation of our profession. I’ve tried it for a few hours now, and honestly – it’s awful. Have been playing around with P/D, D/D and S/D in the Mists now, and the P/D thieves were the ones that got the worst hit. They completely rely on stealth to get their stacks of bleed and actually deal damage, and now that damage output has been nerfed with almost 30%. Which is a lot! They were not even considered OP, so why?!

PvE rotations took a big DPS hit

The 1s nerf was a big deal. This isn’t just a damage nerf, it’s a huge change to the timing of the class; what used to flow smoothly how has awkward timing. You can definitely feel it.

I sincerely doubt they tested the change at all, as there’s no way anyone with any familiarity with the class would have signed off on it.

I expect it was probably more a matter of someone getting voted off the island, hehe.
