Guild Wars 2

Add -20% Stance Duration to Stance Mastery please.

… It already has +25% duration, so you want it to be +5% duration? That’s pretty crappy for a major trait. And a pretty big nerf.

If you mean -20% cooldown, I would have to say two things. First off, +20% duration with -20% cooldown is a big no. Second off, -20% cooldown would be vastly superior considering that we’re talking about skills with very low uptime due to long cooldowns.

And even with that, the -20% might prove way OP with, for example, Stability. Dolyak Signet and Balanced Stanced traited would give 42% uptime on Stability. Throw in maximum boon duration (112%) and we’re talking 88% uptime on Stability. Which is pretty insane.

And I doubt that we need to power up Stances anyway, people are already running 2-3 of them.

Stances need a -20%.

i wouldn’t worry about replying to Daecollo’s threads, he’s fairly well known for posting suggestions to the warriors forum about ideas that would break any semblance of balance.

-20% to Stances, like everyone elses abilities.

Agree.

-20% cd to stances.

The resident troll strikes again!

How about a CD reduction for weapons like Sword, while we’re at it?

You don’t make ideas that are balanced.

You don’t make ideas that are balanced.

Go look at the responses to your suggestions, and the responses to my suggestions. A rather glaring disparity becomes apparent.

Daecollo, just realize and accept that you have no ability to properly evaluate and balance suggestions to the point of them being numerically viable. Everyone in this sub-forum will be better for it.

It’s not a sin to be lousy at implementing game balance. Stick with something you’re good at.
