Guild Wars 2

So we’re getting a buff to assassin’s reward, and hard to catch is being moved down a slot. Two things most of us won’t use because they are terrible traits. Does anyone else think Pain Response needs a buff? I feel like those of us who do invest 30 in acrobatics choose this for our grandmaster. Maybe add removing torment and lower the cool down a little bit?

QR is also getting a nerf.

This patch mainly has the effect of not being worth traiting over 15 points into acrobatics since QR is being rolled into our base initiative regen (best way of looking at the change imo; any other increase/reduction in effectiveness can then be looked at as the buff/nerf that it is)

I think i’ll still go 20 for pain response. There’s so many conditions.

That might help, but the problem is that after the initial clear, there are still so many that get constantly reapplied in this meta. I would rather take those points and put them into SA at this point as it has better condi removal and that extra 5 is going to get me Hidden Assassin (going from 0/30/20/20/0 to 0/30/25/15/0). Until they add some real condition removal to our other defensive line Shadows Embrace will remain our strongest condi removal.
