Guild Wars 2

I got placed very low due to having not played for many months and playing a really bad build in placements and the first couple matches. But now I win every game I play and am like 20-1 the last many games. Can after say 10 wins MMR improve somewhat dramatically?

I would just like to post my opinion. Please do NOT bring back desert borderland EVER. it’s so nice having Alpine back

Since the inception of the current condition Mesmer I’ve thought that the #1 way to nerf, or just change it for the better, (besides the obvious moa nerf whatever it is) is to change illusionary reversion and chronophantasma. Make these traits trigger ONLY when the clones actually blow up from the shatter and ONLY if they hit, so if they’re dodged or blocked you get no clones back. I think this would be an extremely good change to the trait and would greatly promote skillful play and counterplay

Why is edream invited over ezpz?

I really think this patch was some kind of Mesmer condi nerf away from being an excellent patch. The buff to flow of time seems huge, 33% increase to alacrity up time (more than that actually because of the nature of alacrity) seems a bit absurd to a class that was already probably the most important class on a team.
Other than that SO FAR I enjoy this patch the point where I like playing this game again and the changes to wvw are great

The balance was better than season 1, not by much, but the match making was so unbearable, to the point where I no longer play the game

This is such an obvious change to make and quite frankly won’t change much if there’s no other buffs to the Lord

Exedore.6320:

See as ANet has no clue how to balance properly, I expect the reaction to be:

• “WTF are they thinking?”
• Laughter at the sheer stupidity of it all
• Hanging head in disappointment at what used to be a great and fun game

They’ll probably:

• Buff warriors and thieves unnecessarily
• Nerf the wrong thing on ele and necro which end up not affecting them
• Leave scrappers OP
• Buff druids
• Try to buff unused revenant legends
• Make some elaborate nerf to chronomancer Moa that either does nothing or ends up making the skill completely useless
• Remove an amulet or two because that’s the problem…

What they really should do:

• Nerf all HoT specs. All need nerfed, just some more than others.

I’m not sure I’ve ever read a more accurate post on these forums. I would not at all be surprised if this was the patch literally exactly (I personally expect moa to be made useless)

All pretty solid changes. The dragon hunter and elixir b changes might be a little much as that would then give that engi build 3 stun breaks on very low cooldown with stab to boot. I don’t think this would be a problem if Bonn duration didn’t affect stab (honestly boon duration is a huge problem for this game as a whole IMO)

Someone responded a very excellent response to Grouch. He said “PvP and wvw balance is not actually done by the PvP, wvw team but by the separate balance team”
Someone quoted this and very accurately said “this may be the solution to the biggest problem guild wars 2 is facing right now”

Had grouch said anything else besides the fact that the PvP and wvw team has nothing to do with balance? Or was that his latest post?

Cyhann.2609:

Josh Davis.6015:

RE: Balance -> Contrary to popular belief, the PvP team (or wvw, fractals, raids, etc) doesn’t actually handle profession balance. There’s an entirely separate team dedicated to handling balance for all core areas of the game (appropriately named the Balance team). The PvP team (and the other aforementioned teams and more) gives regular feedback on balance issues, but the balance team is ultimately in charge of maintaining the design vision across the game.

This might be the key to the biggest problem this game is facing.

This 100% this.

Chase.8415:

It happens when the downed person lagged. Although, once you hit Ruby and Diamond, pretty much everyone in that bracket has a stable connection and you never see this happen.

Also, the “stuck bug” everyone refers to only happens when you jump and get stunned mid air typically. As soon as you stop spamming jumps like a mad man, the glitch never happens.

i’m in legend and this happens ALL the time

The only “MMR Hell” I suffered was near the beginning of the season when I was in the last tier of diamond and most proleague players were somewhere close to that (probably like half way through legend 1) and every other game I was in 3-4 players on enemy team were in pro league players and my team had none. That was pretty obnoxious matchmaking but it only lasted like less than a week

I have this happen so much each game. It really is game breaking

RodOfDeath.5247:

For me this is the first mmo I actually felt part of a little community. At launch I started on Kaineng and joined BMS guild. It was so kitten ed fun to raid nearly every night and I still have fun memories of the BMS and CNB tag team guilds going up against insane blobs together. I remember commander Sano from CNB on Kaineng, the great 47 from BMS, Guardian Angle, and Ajax Blue being a jerk in map chat. Little did I know, the fun times would only last a few months till the transfer rave started. That’s when I left with BMS to Fort Asp. where I have tons of fun memories on that server.

This. This time on Kaineng was so kittening fun. I miss these days so much.
But my all time favorite times in WvW was on Kaineng at launch with the guild [NUKE]. I’ve never had more fun in any video game

The title. Can we please replace foefire Lord room with stronghold’s Lord room? You would actually have to earn the 150 points in that case

ele has no damage negation skill, none

I couldn’t be rolling my eyes harder at what you just said. No damage negation skills? What about perma protection? Insane projectile reflection/destruction, an aura that stuns people when they hit you, an aura that decreases damage by 10%, a skill that grants complete immunity for 4 sec on a 36 sec CD , evades, and blinds. Am I forgetting something?

First you want to overnerf obsidian flesh so remove the “complete immunity” from your list

Second go take your “perma protection and shocking aura” and go PvP
-To simulate your nerfs I want a video of you playing dagger/warhorn and sage amulet at 500 healing, ( no mistform ) then go with your perma protection and shocking aura and show us how well you survive against focus fire or other professions 1vs1!

Spare me further discussion and just come here with a freaking video, do it!

P.S I can! 1vs1 others with a d/w and win because I played ele for years under all conditions ( including overnerfed states) just go and come with a video that show me how well you know ele and general balance ideology respect to me!

P.S.S I would have not bothered with your thread if you would have left out the ridiculous 60s CD on obsidian flesh that clearly shows that you never played ele in your competitive life not at a level worth considering because obsidian flesh is anything but the god of war form as you make it appear, decent players ( including people like me who know ele inside out) will just time//predict it and CC/burst you down the sec it’s off! so..gl with your video..I’ll be waiting

I think you’re arguing against yourself saying you can win on such a kittenty set up lol

Zackie.8923:

the crowd, the ensuing chaos, and the competitiveness

So like population balance? Personally that’s never really been an issue of mine but yeah lots of people feel the same way

Edited: oh condi clear too!

What the topic says

For me wvw is just a place I like to go to kill people, so as long as people are there it’s fun for me, but people aren’t there now.
What would make it fun for you?

Aenesthesia.1697:

Supreme.3164:

I don’t think there is much space for discussion here once again, I mean every TOP player has confirmed that right now ele can’t 1vs1 anything as there is no dmg whatsoever and all that’s left is a healbot build that accomplish nothing on its own.

At this point asking for more nerfs on ele it’s not sad..it’s not laughable…it’s just pathetic and pitiful

that what i thought… i mean, elementalists do fine as support only nowadays, and only as long as they don’t get heavy cced+burst. So this guy wants to remove the support capability. Good. Eles are still good for pve, luckily.

You have to look at the patch as a whole. Can you imagine if everything’s damage was nerfed and eles healing untouched?

Dahkeus.8243:

Yea, good luck to anyone who thinks they know how to fix balance. Balancing stuff in this game is such a crap shoot. I mean, sometimes a meta seems obvious as soon as you see the patch notes and sometimes it just ends up completely different.

I think we all saw that warriors were going to still be weak, even after the buffs, but I don’t think many realized just how strong and viable mesmers would be, even after all the nerfs (anyone else remember all the Helseth QQ about how mesmers were dead?).

Still, I wish there was a bit more tweaking to bring warriors up before the season started.

I agree, but still it’s undeniable that this patch would certainly lower power levels.

I would be shocked if almost every team didn’t run: Rev, Ele, Engi, Necro, Mesmer with a possible ranger subbed for Mesmer/engi.

@Exedore
I like what you wrote up and agree with most of it. But I think we have varying opinions. You seem to want minor nerfs, I want huge nerfs that can help strongly with power creep (be that sustain or damage)

First off I was confused about the name of necro scepter auto attack #3, that’s my bad.
As for your thoughts on surge of the mists I probably needed to nerf it more but I think the damage is good, I’d lean towards nerfing the CD or maybe knock back.
Most of the other things we disagreed on goes back to the severity of a nerf I want vs what you want. However engineer heal turret you’d never not overcharge it, so it’s effectively a 15 second cooldown till you blow it up and currently there’s almost never a reason to not blow it up, the change you proposed means it’s literally never good to not blow it up no matter what. My change nerfs the abundance of long lasting waterfields which is a huge issue right now.
On a side note I really like your change to heavy light, that’s an excellent change I didn’t think of

@ryu kaisus
Thank you for your reply and your understanding. As for the 20% condition dmg reduction, nah too passive

XxsdgxX.8109:

Completely obliterated Revenant from being viable, nice! Bravo

Not biased at all

I’m not, I play more revenant than any other class. It needs to be toned down

XGhoul.7426:

Mooncow.6847:

I was bored today so I typed this up on my phone. Sorry for any typos.
I went through every trait and skill and I did almost exclusively nerfs. I would only suggest these nerfs as a whole. If any of the changes to the classes happened individually the class would be dumpstered. The goal of this was to balance things and help deal with some of the massive power creep that has occurred in this game. These changes are only for pvp/wvw not pve. It’s quite long

Engineer:
• Hammer #2-#5 10% dmg nerf
• Electro whirl: cooldown increased to 8 seconds
• Rocket charge: now only has 2 leaps instead of 3. The 2 leaps will travel the same distance as the 3 hits but only evade for 2/3 the duration.
• Shock shield: no longer does dmg, block duration increased by 1 second, still applies vuln CD increased to 24 second
• Thunderclap: 28 second cooldown
• Healing turret: exploding the turret has a 25 sec cooldown not exploding still has 15 sec CD

delete the last remaining heal for engi seems fair without seeing the consequences for it.

• Elixir B: retal decreased to 8 seconds
• Slick shoes: my least favorite skill in the game, cooldown reduced to 30 seconds. This skill can now only hit a player once
• Elixir x rampage duration decreased to 11 seconds
• Bulwark gyro CD increased to 25 seconds
• Sneak gyro: cooldown increased to 50 seconds, ½ second cast time
• Gyro detonations now cause reveal to the engi
• Function gyro now only resses at 50% speed of a player.

here comes the funny part!

Traits:
• Aim assisted rocket now travels at half speed
• Bunker down: bandages now heal for 400 baseline
• Protection injection: projection now lasts 1.5 seconds
• Self regulating defenses is no longer affected by elixir traits (doesn’t cure condition and doesn’t have increased activation time, and doesn’t have reduced CD)
• Perfectly weighted: 10% dmg increase on hammer. Hammer cooldown decreased by 20%
• Recovery matrix: duration decreased to 4 seconds
• Rapid regeneration: swiftness now heals for 55 base and superspeed for 300 base. They can now both overlap the heal
• Adaptive armor: max stacks 5 100 per stack duration 8 seconds. A stack is earned each time an attack is blocked (reflected does not count)

I’m only going to highlight this hilarious “dream patch”

Glad you made some of the engineer changes first because the rest of the list seems bad, and like any other player, the problem with engineer stems from the bunker down trait which is more passive than scrapper. You.. .tried?

Yeah nerfing best heal in game by 5 seconds =deleting it! Let me guess you scrolled down read engi and whined with out realizing every class has been guessed (except guardian, didn’t really know how to balance that honestly)

Jelzouki.4128:

So many unwarranted necro nerf suggestions. Do us a favor buddy let the reaper community decide on what to do. Id say 9/10 of your nerfs for necro are absolutely kittened

this was a very dumb response. “Let the people that want it to stay strong to be in charge of nerfing it” ResidentSleeper

I wanted to put removed on death completely to match other in game mechanics such as astral force and adrenaline but it seemed too extreme so I said halved. When they die they should be fully deleted. When they win a fought they’re rewarded with destroying the next. I don’t think they should be able to have roughly full shroud upon respawn.
As for feast of corruption, yes it’s scepter auto attack 3 not anything on axe lol. And sorry I said corrupt a condition I meant boon.
As for you comment about Chillblains…. Are you kittening kidding me? Your argument is LITERALLY “don’t nerf it because then I’d actually have to think when I use it” that is such kittening backwards thinking. Thoughts like that are why this garbage game is in the state that it is

Hansen.3264:

And :
Spvp: remove berserker/marauder/valkyrie amulets

Powercreep lowered

Amulets are not the cause of powecreep

Asrat.2645:

Problem is people are just skipping through your thread, reading the changes of their favourite class and think ‘wahwahwah’
You have to see this as a whole.
And whilst it is far from being perfect, it really provides a much better base to start fine-tuning balance from.

yes this is definitely happening a lot lol. But I can’t blame them it’s really long

@fivedawgs I reduced the cooldown from 180 sec to 140 sec…
@alekt those are certainly reasonable changes and probably good ones, I just didn’t buff anything I was focused on nerfs
@stiofan they’re already a pile of ashes. If this patch were to go through they’d be 10 times more viable

Fivedawgs.4267:

Ok let’s talk about warrior:

I disagree with two changes, first rampage you have reduced the cd by 4% and you nerf the dmg by 25%. You see the problem???

And second the last blaze trait doesn’t have to be revamp, dude you are being petty over a blind…

I reduced the cooldown by 22%

Fivedawgs.4267:

Mooncow.6847:

Fivedawgs.4267:

So DH are not on his list, but warriors are??? Rigged anyone?

Dh is on this list. Read again

Maybe he added them afterwards?

Nah they were always there

Ryu Kaisus.1293:

As an engineer player i approve of these nerfs to my class of choice, if, the rest of the classes get updated with these nerfs as well. These nerfs are actually in line with each classes balance if done as a whole.

Good job my friend.

Yes I would absolutely only suggest these nerfs as a whole. I should add that to my post

DuoMaxwell.8019:

I know engis need to be looked at by holy kitten his changes seem so ridiculous lmao

Did you only read the engi changes?

Fivedawgs.4267:

So DH are not on his list, but warriors are??? Rigged anyone?

Dh is on this list. Read again

Exedore.6320:

I got through the first three professions and stopped. OP doesn’t understand how any of these builds work.

What about what I said makes you think that?

Link.1049:

I disagree with a lot of your thief nerf… particularly the dash clearing clearing conditions only 1 every 10 seconds. The entire point of a thief is mobility. Besides burning those to get out of a chill/stun etc burns our dodge which then needs to recharge. If we’re burnt out of dodges, we’re dead.

I think being immune to immobilize should have a cooldown

BlackBeard.2873:

While I agree that basically everything needs to be nerfed, I think some of your changes are too much all taken together, while others make no sense. I will use ele as an example:

Healing on ele could probably reduced overall, and a good place to start is to reduce the sharing from “wash the pain away” and healing from elemental bastion. However, if you reduce healing from everything, then ele is useless. Also, I disagree with reducing the heal on water overload…doing so makes it NEVER every worth casting.

Changes that don’t make sense:
- Nerfing cleansing fire…not even used in pvp anymore b/c shouts can easily cleanse 2 condis with half the CD and shared aoe.
- Nerfing pyromancer’s training – fire is unusable in pvp b/c all the elites are bad

Water overload will still heal allies for a good amount and heal yourself for the amount it currently does. As for the cleansing fire it was meta before HoT and I always thought it had too much offense. I probably should have left it off the list it’s definitely the least needed nerf out of everything I listed. And I don’t get your comment about fire

Agemnon.4608:

I assign stow weapon to caps lock since it’s right next to my autoattack button (A).

You missed the point of his post lmao

Agemnon.4608:

I strongly disagree with his riposting shadows, there’s lots of chill application and CC in the game in general so it’s needed. Maybe nerf energy regeneration a tad but that’s the only real change I’d make to the skill.

Also increase cooldowns on all AoE’s by 10 seconds except for celestial avatar skills since CA form doesn’t last long anyway.

Riposting shadows needs a nerf so badly. But I did try to nerf chill across the board

Supreme.3164:

Hmmm…..dragon hunter is missing ..oh wait that’s the OP main

Nerf everybody except my main , if you die to my main it’s a L2P issue

Because ofc you won’t except normal people to believe that a 6s CD on true shot is a nerf?!!

Nothing new to see here gents, move along..just another “nerf rock, paper is fine, signed scissor” thread, the only ones who will agree are the usual trolls and those who play DH

Here true balance changes for Guardian

-True shot – dmg decreased by 33% – CD increased to 15s from 4
-Wings of Resolve CD increased to 50s from 30s- Base heal decreased by 70% and healing coefficient increased by 50%
-Spear of Justice CD increased to 35s from 20s
-Symbol of energy CD increased to 25s from 15s

Traits
-Monk Focus- Base heal decreased from 1900 to 860 – 50% healing coefficient increase
-Heavy Light – CD increased to 30s from 10s
-Hunter Fortification CD increased from 1s to 3s

These are fair changes for Guardian especially because now guards can fully spec into dmg while having above cleric healing level of skills and that’s ridiculous

I mean these changes seem fine to me. Good suggestions except for the 15 sec true shot that’s a bit ridiculous when coupled with the 33% dmg nerf. Honestly I just didn’t really know how to nerf guardian.
And no I have like 20 games on guard played

As for your comments about ele, ele is the best class atm outside of a 1v1

Edited as per suggestion. Sorry I was on my phone but should look better now

StickerHappy.8052:

Dude Pls edit your thread, and use formatting options (Bullets, etc) to make it easy to read.

Ok I will

The goal of this was to balance things and help deal with some of the massive power creep that has occurred in this game. These changes are only for pvp/wvw not pve. It’s quite long

Universal change: confusion no longer ticks unless activating a skill
Quickness and slow apply to movement skills once again

Revenant:

• Precision strike 10% dmg buff, reverted back to only shooting 1 projectile at an enemy 2s chill
• Enchanted daggers no longer goes through endure pain is now activated when a skill is blocked dmg reduced by 10%
• Riposting shadows: this is far and away the most broken thing about revenant and what makes it OP I think there is more than one way to handle this skill
• 1: it now has a 25 second cool down
• 2: no cool down but it no longer grants any endurance and no longer breaks stun

Wvw change only: STAB CHANGE REVERTED

With those names I don’t believe this at all. But it does seem like anet to put something that stupid into the game

guildabd.6529:

3. Reduce all CC skills with unlimited target limit to 5 target limit (Hunters Ward, Static Field, Slick Shoes, Unsteady Ground etc.)

Nah keep them able to hit as many people as you want. Instead change it so that all of these act like static field and can only hit you once. This would be an AMAZING (and extremely obvious) change

Varezenem.2813:

Alekt.5803:

Split Cleric Amulet in a four stat amulet.

no

+1 the first changes are excellent but clerics doesn’t need changing
