Holy kitten trinity.

Now the worst class balance from release. Direct damage in the first months immediately cut.
Holy trinity op condition|pet class ruin all pvp:
Necromancer
Engineer
Ranger

Condition bunkers have same dps as berserker GC. And godmod defence.

Necromancer
God mode Damage
1) Can impose almost every condition from 1200 distance. AOE. And if you take off your all Condition. You eat Epidemic.
2) Easy 8 sec+ fear chain to death.

God mode Defence
1) Perma weakness
2) Death Shroud
3) Plague

Engineer
God mode Damage
1) Perma burning – just 1 autoattack can eat 6k+ hp.
2) Hgh burning tick 800+
3) Perma poison
4) A lot of confusion
5) A lot of brainless aoe damage

God mode Defence
1) Perma protection.
2) Self resurrection.
3) Perma vigor.

Ranger
God mode Damage
1)pet – 600+ dps
2) 10 stack bleeding
2) perma poison
3) near perma burning
Around 2500+ dps – Often more than can make GC.
Oh and pet have direct damage
Pet hit light golem: 1-2k
Storm spirit hit light golem: 3-5k

God mode Defence:
1) Perma protection.
2) Self resurrection.
3) Perma dodge.
4) Pets take over a large part of damage.

Why AOE Damage bunkers often have more damage than one target direct damage?

Many watched NA / EU tournament. Almost all the teams consisted of a condition bunkers.
85% of the deaths were from the condition
10% of deaths from thieves
5% of the deaths from pets

A problem in 4 things.
1) Too huge damage from burning.
2) A lot of brainless AOE
3) Every single condition skills have too huge damage. For example 5 longbow warrior-10k + damage.
4)Too strong pets.

Time to NERF kitten condition aoe meta.

Blind/Retaliation/Stealth.

in PvP

Posted by: Marduh.4603

Marduh.4603

These three things in its present form can turn a good pvp build into zero.

Blind aka perma aegis.

Problem
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Blind-needs-to-go-back
You certainly run out of the smoke of the field. But you still a very long blind.
Possible fix
Very simple and correct solution to the problem of blind limit the duration of 1 second(with +50% condition duratation 2 sec). And remove Stacking.

Retaliation

Problem
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Retaliation-is-TOO-OP/first
1 Cluster bomb or 1 Pistol whip can eat 6-7k damage from Retaliation.
Engineer can suicide in 1-2 second from Retaliation when cast grenade.
This strange mechanics kill a lot of builds that pretty strong in PvP.
Possible fix
But you just need to add a 1-second cooldown and reflect on attack (not each hit: clusterbomb etk) . This is not reduce defense mechanism. But correct the situation when the attacker receive more damage than target.

Stealth

Problem
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/4-sec-Revealed-and-Permastealth/first
Perma stealth has no counterplay.
Possible fix
But it is easy to solve add cd “Infusion of Shadow” or remove stacking stealths.

How to avoid the next balance disaster

in PvP

Posted by: Marduh.4603

Marduh.4603

Agreed on the shaving + making sure we don’t overdo it with big hits to the classes.

Also good points about making sure that we don’t take away the things “holding down” some of the strong builds. I think Mes and Ele are probably ok for the most part, as long as we tone down the conditions output from some classes, and bring the S/D Thief in line.

Just make the Infiltrator’s Arrow rate like all other teleports. Warriors leaps run faster than this arrow. While flying arrow I run a third of the distance teleport.

Tactical Strike: stun from stealth

in Thief

Posted by: Marduh.4603

Marduh.4603

In my build Tactical strike does maximum 2k damage. So pathetic damage with near useless effect for stealth position attack.
Bs 6-7k damage.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bone_Crack
Does same damage as Tactical strike. 2 sec stun in spvp.

If you replace a daze to stun, it would have corrected the imbalance stealth attacks.
Because even now when daze for monsters equal stun. Svanir faster and easier to kill just spam 33333.

Small buff Flanking Strike after huge nerf sd

in Suggestions

I suggest just remove the second hit, and its damage is added to the first strike.
This burst and defence boost, rather than damage.

For example:

Before:
Evade and stab your foe in the back twice. First strike removes 1 boon.
Damage: 252
Second strike damage: 504
Range: 130

After:
Flanking Strike. 4 ini
Evade and stab your foe. Strike Removes 1 boon.
Damage: 756
Range: 130

AOE balance.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Grenade_Kit
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cluster_Bomb

Another weapon of mass destruction:
Shatter – 10k
Fire grab – 10k(and other elem skills)
Hundred Blades – 10k
Whirlwind Attack – 6k
Whirling Wrath – 7k

Why skills are left same for a split second is applied 2-3 times more damage than the skills that nerf?
I think 15% will not change the fact of killing enemies with a single bomb.
