Guild Wars 2

If the developers only want to “shave” classes and not make kneejerk balance changes, why do we always have to wait 3-6 month between balance changes?

Wouldn’t it make much more sense make smaller “shaving” changes much more often, and therefore see much faster how (and if) the change does what it was supposed to do? As opposed to dropping a huge balancing patch every few month only?

Oh for fracks sake. They said in the stream that every single sigil and rune had a balance pass. Which – get this – means that they actually know that doubling sigils is power creep and will probably make all of them a bit worse. Just like they said that on crit sigils will probably be 100% chance but then do way less damage.

I imagine stuff like energy only giving 25 energy, battle maybe giving only 2 might, etc.
