Guild Wars 2

Why are all of the balance changes supposed to be encouraging build diversity except mesmers?

Buff base guardian to help encourage people to NOT take the first DH build they see on metabattle? Buff thief to try and encourage them to do more than vault spam?

But nerf all mesmer builds to indirectly nerf condi mesmer. (which everyone knows definitely needs toning down)

I mean, are the changes ACTUALLY supposed to encourage people to use more than the one build per class that they see? Warriors are still going to do only macebow. Guards meditrapper. Condi and condi cleanse still runs the game, surprise surprise.

Yeah, I am talking particularly spvp but anything helps.

I’ll see if i can just start abusing portal to avoid them.

As a power shatter chrono, sw/sh / gs, How do i beat macebow warriors? I cannot seem to have anywhere near enough constant condi cleanse to even survive, and their cc ignore means they’re able to close the gap to me no matter what.

If I manage to do well enough they’ll just juke behind pillars and adrenal health + heal.

I definitely understand it as an l2p issue, but if there are specific tactics that can help, please let me know.
