Is anyone else concerned about how anet is actually going to end up balancing chronomancer and their new alacrity effect without making chronomancer required for all builds?
The way I understand things alacrity is going to reduce the cooldowns of all mesmer skills, including those on existing weapons and utility skills. That means all those skills are indirectly buffed just for picking up chronomancer, now this is all very cool and interesting but is more than likely also going to end up causing balance problems.
Is anet going to increase the base cooldowns of all mesmer skills to make up for this and basically nerf all builds that don’t end up using chronomancer?
Is anet going to change alacrity to the point where it barely does anything at all?
Is it just going to be required to use elite specializations?
What is everyone’s thought on this?
