Guild Wars 2

Is it already known if it will be possible to change stats on (ascended) equipment after the april 15th update, as it was after the removal of magic find? I think at least ascended equip containig crit dmg should be possible to change, as the intended crit nerf will affect the effectiveness of some builds.
I, for example, crafted an ascended assassin’s armor, which was, combined with celestial accesoirs, better than berserker stats. After the upcoming crit nerf, I think it will be the other way round.
It would be really annoying if I had invested all that expensive stuff in stats that are only second best after the update…

This also causes the huge zergs mentality, which are all over WvW. This was supposed to be a strategic sort of siege-game originally. But everyone just stacks on top of each other, and spams CC-skills, and often the largest mob wins.

I don’t know where you play WvW, but seemingly you have never experienced a well commandered zerg. When it comes to zerg fights, movement and tactics (proper use of combos, vulnerable casters staying at the back, etc.) is everything. With superior movement, a clearly larger zerg can easily be defeated.
Of course, CCs can be deadly for a zerg, but good movement and tactics involve avoiding enemy CC spikes.
