Guild Wars 2

This thread lacks charr, so i’m posting despite the vile stench of necromancy.

chaos

granted i’m rocking chaos on everything else on my guard, so its not the most original choice.

Shriketalon.1937:

Since people love the float (and rightly so, it’s hysterical), how about the following change to gravity well. Rather than have three pulls in a row, have a combination of three effects…

1st pulls.
2nd knocks down.
3rd floats.

The net effect will be similar (three CC effects, no more, no less), but it will feel a lot more thematic appropriate for gravity. Gravity pulls them in, gravity pins them down, and reverse gravity sends them flying. More fun, same balance.

I love this idea. Being able to float people on land is just to good an idea to pass up.

Robert Gee.9246:

Illusionary Reversion: Updated functionality. You must shatter at least 2 illusions in order to generate a clone from this trait. (You do not count as an illusion towards this total.)

• Yeah I know this one probably stings but when we started looking at it it was pretty silly that this trait could let you get so much power out of just using all shatter skills back to back.

Alacrity
The last few changes are related to alacrity. We felt that as it was currently, alacrity wasn’t hitting the right level of impact due to how easy it was to get from the minor trait and how little you could share it with allies. These changes are intended to try and improve how alacrity feels to interact with though traits and skills.

• Flow of Time: Reduced alacrity per shattered illusion from 1s to 0.75s
• Improved Alacrity: Increased alacrity duration bonus from 33% to 50%.
• All’s Well that Ends Well: Changed functionality. This trait now grants 2s of alacrity to allies standing within the well when the well ends.

I think rather than nerfing illusionary reversion, it should be mutually exclusive with chronophantasma. They both serve essentially the same purpose, but lead you down two separate paths (phantasm dps, versus alacrity/shatter), and are probably too powerful in combination.

Regarding the alacrity on shatter nerf. This i am unsurprised by. Sad (it was incredibly fun), but unsurprised
