Guild Wars 2

As someone with hours and hours in the catacombs, I was working hard on earning all of the weapons. I have all the armor I wanted from the dungeon now. I think I have earned well over 2300 tears to date.

I felt this dungeon was well made to begin with, there were some buggy issues that felt like we had to have specific classes to be successful. For instance the excessive need for Elementalists to have ICE BOW on tap for graveling mounds.

What I think is the biggest pain in the donkey is the extreme amount of knock back. I feel like Xibit shows up and says “Yo dawg, I heard you like knock back…so I put knock back on the knock back”

I don’t have enough stability or cool downs to deal with being banged around like they are playing keep away…and I am the ball. The scavengers were the most OP mob I had ever encountered because if you didn’t see them wind up and evade just in the right time you were DEAD. Even if you did evade and you moved into close enough range to melee it would down you. So no matter what I did I had to waste time. Either waiting to be revived, or respawn because someone is in “KITTEN” combat somewhere in the group, or wait for the scavenger to exit their kill shot move.

So – now everything has a cute little knockdown…wonderful. As a Guardian in full AC gear with AC weapons at level 80 using a bunker build to stay alive….I don’t like the changes made to gravelings one bit. I feel that if the gravelings were returned to their pre-patch state it might make this dungeon fun again. Right now, I am kitten OFF playing the dungeon. I loved it, I would only log in to play this dungeon. Once I got all the gear, I was going to move to the next dungeon.

I really dislike whining about changes…because that is life. Things change and we need to adapt. I just feel that this many changes, and the type of changes, felt pretty heavy handed for a level 35 dungeon.

I brought in my 80 necro which has no stability and I couldn’t keep him on his feet.

My overall feel right now is a 1/10 for the changes, and second guessing playing the game until something changes. The AC dungeon was CHALLENGING to me, and now it is nothing more than RAGE.

Sure – There are groups/guilds out there that say “This was easy.” I am proud of you guys for being so elite. However the majority of PUG players that are fighting solo for better gear and status…this dungeon is now an abomination.

I apologize for the raving lunatic way that this post may read…I just finished trying to win path 1 in AC…we couldn’t do it with the group we had. So my rage is a little high and I don’t have any more time to play tonight. I wish I could say I was still having fun in this game, but this really did harm my enjoyment of my favorite content.
