Guild Wars 2

How about Season 2 never start? :P

Leagues are terrible since the gap in coverage is huge between the top servers in a tier and the bottom, especially with some servers intentionally throwing their last few matchups leading up to S1 in order to end up in a tier they could dominate through superior coverage.

I preferred the original matchup system where top 3 servers fought eachother and so on. Apparently the top tier servers whined that they had to fight the same servers all the time. Under this regime we didn’t see the massive blowouts that we experience in S1 and with the recently scrapped system where randomisation factored in.

Finally some drama up in here!

Why don’t you just sort out a rematch? Or even better, make it a 5 on 5 where it’s harder for you all to hide behind the five target aoe cap.

Other thieves, especially full berserker ones. The thief is probably the only class that gets away with being full glass cannon thanks to excessive stealth.

In the spirit of RNG we could perhaps find a compromise between the pre and post-nerf LS by having it steal one boon and just removing another!

What are you considering bringing instead of the blink?

Blink is one of the best utilities you have at your disposal. I run it in all my various mesmer-builds…

Would it be possible to add information about how long time the last person who got in to the BL from the queue had to wait in line? Though I understand you might not want to do this if the randomness of ‘who gets in and when’ is true.

There are some really laughable 6 rune bonuses with 90 sec ICD… 10 sec ICD on these is swing in the air with the nerfbat (if it even was intended to bring perplexity to the other runeset’s level). A higher ICD and/or a lower stack of confusion applied on interrupt is what is needed imo.

I have to disagree with your assessment. One of the most vicious usages of Perplexity Runes is the potential for massive AoE confusion, in the hands of a class with AoE Interrupt capability. Any ICD, even 10 seconds, will short-circuit that ability, since it’s not as if ANet ICDs account for single-target vs. AoE effect.

My analysis is from a small scale perspective where there usually aren’t enough targets around to get those multi interrupts and also no crowd to hide in to let the confusion stacks fade.

But, if the current means of AoE confusion application is found lacking that should be addressed rather than introducing a rune that is just plain overpowered in small scale fights.

Have No Faith In Me.1840:

Even with a 10 sec ICD I don’t see this stopping me from destroying d/p thieves and a lot of other cheesy meta builds any time soon.

OFC it won’t since it’s hardly a nerf.

Without a long cooldown Perplexity runes bring a new tool to classes that don’t have them. Sure, if they were to make other runes which give all classes access to significant heals or CC or cleanse on silly low CD, then you could say that Perplexity is on par with other runes. But I certainly hope they won’t.

Back when glamour mesmers were nerfed your argument that only scrubs were affected by confusion was valid. Those mesmers had very low dmg output except the confusion. But smack perplexity, and thus heavy confusion, on my thief and you won’t just be killing yourself for me, I’ll be giving you a helping hand. So rather than perplexity just killing average or bad players I’d say they are training wheels for said average or bad players to compete with the rest of us. :P

Zen.4678:

Feel very proud of yourselves [Drgr]; you do great outnumbering your opposition.

Thanks! We also do quite well outnumbered, but in all honesty we could use a lesson or two in the gentle art of forum whining…
