Guild Wars 2

It is obviously a bug that retal does 33% less dmg only on EB. As soon as it gets fixed it should be less of an issue.

On a personal note though (and alleged opness of retal aside), I’ve run WvW with all kinds of professions. The only ones that are still missing from my character select screen are necro and warrior. And I never seen retal as something that shuts my profession down in fights of any scale.

Because I do not simply expect that skills which are great in PvE or on a mob of training dummies would be as effective (if at all) against groups of intelligent opponents. There’s a wide variety of builds/stat-builds you can choose from and it’s not like particular skill is THE only way your class could/should/must rule the world.

P.S. I’ve seen so many times people dying on last boss on Urban Battlegrounds Fractal simply because they do not realize that he has 100% retal uptime and while they do not have appropriate build to sustain their HP pool against it, they mindlessly continue to hit him with everything they’ve got even when they are hovering on 10% hp and have their healing skills on cd.

I didn’t mean my post to sound like l2p one, but I guess is does anyway.

I’m going to have to agree… and the whole mindset of nerfing things you don’t know how to play against needs to stop (confusion only did damage when you used abilities and when those players who died after spamming 1 died, they were all up in arms). I would love to see anet buffing different aspects of each class and instead make other builds viable.

not very surprised by the change.. as for the reset i hope every time you tinker with the wvw talents you give us the reset … i still wish for some trebuchet talents but i don’t like the points sitting around and whistle some songs..

I noticed that in this upcoming patch well gain an extra reward from gaining world ranks, will previously obtained ranks prior to the patch be rewarded?

I’d like to see Revive bonus added to the Abilities list.

Revive fallen ally 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% faster

Is there any chance for World XP to become account bound in the future? Since the ranks require a significant amount of effort to get any benefit from them, it’s ill advised to use more than one (or two) characters in WvW. Since different professions might want to aim for different bonuses first, each character could have available points to use according to the account rank.

They had mentioned this and said that they had meant to keep it character based instead of account based so that we could have different builds.

Supply is that expensive rightly so because new players with the ability to carry more supply can be destructive and also 40 organized players with 20 supply is going to be pretty ridiculous as is.
