Guild Wars 2

Indiscriminate nerfs to already useless traits are overshadowed by the obnoxious, pointless buffs to Shoutbow, and on top of that now for whatever asinine reason they MURDERED banners?! Inspiring Standard out of tactics even. They crippled -banners-. Banners. What have -banners- done to break the game that justifies completely destroying all support for them? There’s an utter and complete lack of complementary traits now, just an entire class of utility skills with all of one relevant trait in a BAD BAD BAD HOLY CRAP THIS IS THE MOST USELESS TRAIT POSITIONING place with half the prior supports missing.

But longbow needed buffs guys! Mace gets 1-3 stacks of vulnerability, don’t forget that guys! 1-3 10s stacks of vuln is a -huge- buff guys! Situational too! But yeah that longbow wasn’t catered to enough.

Oh and shouts guys! Use those underused shouts! All of the time! They’re so much more fun than banners, just rotate your shouts over and over again guys! Why do we even have banner skills they’re so lame?

:^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)

(I’m very very upset and will likely pitch another hissy-fit if these changes aren’t jokey or “beta”)

They clearly stated these changes were very close to what we would be getting, barring a few minor changes.

So they are apparently here to stay! Enjoy!

RIP Banners

ok im stupid….where exactly is a banner change?

Don’t forget the extra 20 toughness above 90% health! Surely sacrificing banners were worth that!

It’s in the major trait slot for the discipline line. I think it was previously in the tactics line? All it does is give the regen tickling… I think some of the functionality, like the radius increase, may have been made baseline, but it doesn’t really say in the notes.

There used to be an increased AoE + Recharge for them for one. Now it’s just the regen… And it’s moved to discipline of all things rather than tactics.

This is exactly what Anet does to warrior. make changes when nobody ever said they needed to be changed. I dont see any of the changes do anything to get more utility from the warrior either just more bashe here bashe there increase damage a bit. More of the same.

So… Inspiring Banners didn’t become baseline?

WTF.

One of the most often-used group traits in PvE was completely removed? Really?

It wouldn’t be half as insulting if they kept it in tactics at least, a relevant skill line, a reason to not pick healshouts.

It’s just purely an insult at this point.

Inspiring Banners got moved from Tactics to Discipline. The banner upgrade trait no longer exists and wasn’t made baseline.

i.e. Inspiring Banners (regen from banners) got moved to a trait line that it has 0 synergy with. It competes with two offensive options in an offensive trait line for master slot. Sure, it’s a master slot now, but now it’s completely obtuse, and as well there are no more banner supports outside of it, making them usually a very boring weight of skills with no individual variation.

Oh say does that purple tactics banner yet waaave
O’er the land of PvE
and in a home, in tactics, with the traits

LoL!

Personally, I am also very disappointed with the Restorative Strength change.

They did change a bad skill into an arguably worse skill. How did they think giving 5stacks of might for a measly 6 seconds upon heal activation was in any way a worthwhile trait to take.

Someone pls send me message if they ever reveal who was fired for this , tx.

The guy that made the changes probably had 2 rounds of pvp with warr..on his shoutbow.

Hype destroyed. Looks like these changes going live.

I guess at this point I would love to just know why it had to go and wasn’t bundled.
