Guild Wars 2

- Infiltrator Strike had this nerf coming, though toggle could do with being less laggy.
- Pistol Whip startup is smoother
- Venomshare is still a suboptimal gimmick
- Still won’t ever need more than 15 in Acrobatics
- D/P permacheesers all rerolled mesmer

As people have said earlier, these nerfs are pretty sloppy and don’t particularly address the problem that thieves have a difficult time fulfilling anything except peripheral roles in the meta. Changes to vigor and sustain options are weird because anet was pushing for these things a couple months ago. Current rewards for sticking it out in combat raw are lackluster.

Maybe if they pushed the base heal up on Assassin’s Reward it would be worth taking but that would support scrubby spam play so whatever.

I’ve been doing 30+ fractals for months now and still no skin. But I’ve had guildies who get a skin on their first 20. As everyone has said its completely random so it’s really not worth trying to grind one out.

Thanks for all the advice. I am going to shelve my gunslinger until I’ve got another 80 to fund it at least, or until the set gets a buff. For such a cool, iconic and unique style, it’s SO AWESOME AND CLASSY AND I DON’T EVEN CARE

Pump Devil May Cry music and suddenly you’re the coolest kid on the block.

There’s also the issue of rank dodging which has become laughably more common since the introduction of the boards. I didn’t realize people cared about rankings in a game with non-existent matchmaking.
