Whoa. whoa. whoa… Did you just say Rangers and thieves were getting only buffs? Sir, we obviously have two very different meanings of buff then because nothing that the Ranger got in the Dec 10th that is going to do anything for it in a meaningful way.

I almost stopped reading but you redeamed yourself at near end.

I think this is a case of misinterpreting the post, and somewhat shaky wording on the OP’s part. If I’m understanding this right, OP is complaining that ArenaNet favors heavy armor classes over the others (by the way, I think “affinity” was the word you were looking for in the title, OP), citing that said heavy armor classes are rarely nerfed, often buffed, and are given a variety of perks over their light and medium armored counterparts.

That. Sorry, I was incredibly tired while making the original post.

Spare me the “this has been posted a gazillion times” crying and hear me out.

The angle of approach from A-net towards heavy armor users makes 0 sense and is generally unexplainable. Never has a heavy armor user been nerfed so much it affects the whole way they play the game, unlike rangers and thieves for example.
All they’re getting are buffs and a few unmeaningful balances that don’t really affect their power by a lot, which ends up in our typical unbalance of the whole friggin’ game.

Also, what’s with the new ascended armors? It takes 36 days to craft a light armor set due to timegated items, and it takes 25 days to craft heavy? What the actual kitten? How does that make any sense?
Before you say that medium is made in 23 days, let me clarify that medium armor users have, for the most part, been already nerfed to a point where armor doesn’t really make a difference because they’ll still be way too squishy to deal any damage or have anything even close that can be called “survivability”.

TL;DR – Heavy armor users have never been majorly nerfed and instead are given bonuses even on acquiring armor! Gg A-net, You did it again.

Whoever designed it needs to be fired. Immediately.

If you get killed by a thief that just spams heartseeker, you’re bad and you deserve to die.
Heartseeker does barely noticable damage when the target is over 50% hp.

A-net might as well delete the whole class. I am disappoint. You used to be a decent company. Now you’re just kittenfaced.
