Guild Wars 2

It’s an expansion, it’s time to end the era and make many more players leave by implementing even more immense power creep! I suggest removing %DMG modifiers from traits and adding them to jewellery/armor and perhaps merging some of our less used traits to currently existing traits for free and then create new traits to replace those ones. I also think it would be great if we could use 2 elite specs at the same time or if not, let us use 4 traitlines instead.

Maybe make more skills unblockable too and you might as well double our downed health as well since cleave damage is so high and also I think it is about time for quickness to be a %100 boost in speed again since it’s not fair that it got nerfed.

Then remove the stacks on stability but then boost duration of all CC in the game to compensate.

That ought to about do it.
Thanks.

This is all I got; I stopped caring about halfway through these changes since I know they will just make some weird kitten buff like making spectral armor 30s cooldown instead of 40s or whatever it is now, or making our auto attack do like 100 more damage.

Basically, there are 3 themes; boons, chill and PvE. I have also changed the chill aspect of reaper to be debilitating rather than damage oriented since scourge will be the damage aspect of necromancer.

We cannot run power necromancer competitively because WE HAVE NO DEFENSE!!!! We also have zero useful utility skills that any good power class requires, such as blinks/teleports. We also do not do enough damage. Did you know a mesmer can get over 85% damage buffs and insta-down even an (unaware) 20K HP bunker guard? Yet despite how glass a mesmer has to build to do this… THEY STILL HAVE MORE DEFENSES THAN NECROMANCERS.

For the love of kitten make some useful changes for once. I do not like the playstyle of scourge. Don’t make me leave this game… please -__-

Let us have a real skill for once, please.
https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=BM-4UH8t0LU
Alternatively, make the skill inflict a launch every single hit that launches for a range of 5000 ‘cause that’d be really kool and neat and overpowered and kitten.

Utility Skills
Nothing Can Save You!:
This skill is now instant cast.
Increased base unblockable duration from 4s to 5s and increased unblockable duration per target hit from 1s to 2s.

Are you guys on kittening crack cocaine? Once scourge comes out the signet of skill will be able to inflict 9 conditions by pressing a single kittening button. 60 seconds is fine and many skills in this game should have their cooldowns increased. Passive traits like the engi elixir S passive should have like a 5 minute cooldown to only be viable in a single encounter.

Ya sure, make signet of skill 30s cooldown… why not lmfao. Buff everything!! /trolol

Been playing necromancer since release and I’ve never – not even once – accidentally double tapped shroud because never in any circumstance ever is there ever any reason to do it, ever. Even when the server is lagging like in WvW during a massive battle, shroud still works (most of the time)

The only time I ever double tapped shroud was on purpose a few years back when things were more balanced and I liked to use Foot in the Grave for stability to cover my heal.

Lahmia.2193:

flow.6043:

T
Spiteful Renewal:

Has anyone checked if this works with Consume Conditions (I didn’t get to play yet), like does it consume the self applied vulnerability after the cast?

Yes it eats the self vuln if untraited (slight delay after heal skill) and eats the blind if traited with master of corruptions.

That’s actually pretty neat – I like.

Yeah flow I’m sure you also know as you’ve been here a while but not even exaggerating… 90% of necros don’t actually know how to play the class (including the devs unfortunately…)

I practically never used that trait and could give less of a kitten about it. I’ve never even really used soul reaping much after like 2014 as I find the whole line to be lacklustre. Any time I have ran soul reaping I never even noticed vital persistence. In WvW/PvP that trait was never needed in any scenario.

But hey… every build that I ever used just got a massive buff LOL

My gripe is the lack of meaningful changes to traitlines and greatsword/reaper lacking. Axe is actually a good power weapon nowadays, but you can’t go power necro because you need power/precision/ferocity and then you die instantly because you are a necro. And condi is better in every way.

Yeah, they didn’t even make any changes to reaper to make it more power based lmao. Wtf even…

At least do this to the greatsword so that it’s usable in PvP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM-4UH8t0LU

The biggest cancer I can find with these changes and the upcoming scourge is that you can make signet of spite inflict 9 conditions. Kappa

Why? Now lich form is 100% useless.

In PvP/WvW its one niche use was to use lich form just for that skill to remove condis/boons. Now the form literally does nothing useful.

SeemsGood

Hardly anything even changed…
Anything that was changed made every necro go, “Wtf?”

Since I don’t get paid to do this, I will just redo the minor traits for you – free of charge – to re-theme what each traitline is about and you can take over and do the rest of the changes for yourself, balance team. Deal? Ok. Here goes!:

Spite
Congrats – the minors are very good. Nothing needs to change.
This is clearly the offensive damage line.

Curses
From a balance perspective, this line actually doesn’t really make any sense and has no theme to it. Realistically, all of the minor traits should probably be condition based or boon-hate based. But I’ll just say that it’s good as it is (even though it’s really not).

Death Magic
This line is absolute crap, no need for explaining. This is supposed to be our survivability line. I don’t care what you do with the rest of the traits (well I kind of do). But this is what the minor traits should be:
Adept – Shrouded Removal: Remove conditions in shroud.
Master – Unholy Sanctuary: Heal in shroud. (Auto shroud if lethal blow)
Grandmaster – Foot in the Grave: Break stun/gain stability entering death shroud.

Soul Reaping
Okay, so Gluttony needs to be replaced with a real trait because gluttony is from an age since past when the game was more balanced/we accepted the reality of boring traits because all of them were boring. What even is the Soul Reaping line? It’s the line that’s supposed to focus on shroud abilities and life force. This is what our minor traits should be:

By the way, Speed of Shadows directly competes with Relentless Pursuit with the recent change – so one of these traits has to change (hint: change relentless pursuit since power necros should take chilling nova for the burst)

That’s all I feel like writing TBH. I was expecting real changed to our traits… was disappointed.

Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtZFok_D_TI and tell me this game is balanced. That skill is supposed to inflict chill and poison – that’s ALL.

When scourge comes, you can also add burning to that list of bullkitten in that video. But oh, wait, they removed a bunch of OP sigils in SPvP (who cares about WvW apparently)… and amulets… and… amulets are not overpowered. It’s the sigils, traits and runes that are overpowered.

I wish they would nerf all sigils across the board to become more balanced like (some of) the SPvP ones. Causing effects on weapon swap are not balanced either. Doing 10% more DMG to an opponent that is stunned is balanced. Sigils like Sigil of Annulment (your next attack after weapon swapping removes 2 boons) are not balanced – there is no counterplay to it and it just causes random effects that no one understands what is happening (“where’d my boons go, wtf?”) If it were, “Disabling a foe removes 1 boon” then it would be more balanced.

A few streamers were talking and saying “Omg elementalist and necro will be unbeatable in team fights in SPvP” lol. They are just hyped and not really thinking. You know what’s more unbeatable? An elementalist and literally any other support class holding the node with the elementalist.

Scourge has barrier – that’s it. It basically heals you temporarily; nothing more.
Any build without scourge already corrupts boons and can already do condi spam, except they have death shroud to survive.

circuitnerd.5863:

You mean like fishing? Or sailing a boat?

Sounds good to me 4Head

I log on and what is there to do? Nothing – which is why I log out and watch hour long videos about why Guild Wars 2 is boring.

Can we have something to do other than just combat?

Berserker gear, scholar runes, spite/blood magic/reaper, wells, dagger/focus (I personally use dagger trait for movement speed) is easiest PvE build. Probably the most damage as well.

Condition does not kill as fast in general PvE and I don’t think the sustain is as good either.

Dude, if you are having fun. then that’s all that matters. If you can get to whatever that black rank is (I don’t even care for PvP anymore) then why does anything else matter? Do you plan to play esports matches like the other kids that live at home with their mothers/have nothing to show for their life? If not, then just have fun. Black rank shows enough prestige, then.

To go “above” that means to get hardcore into GW2 PvP “esports” like the… (like 12?) same people that have been hardcore into GW2 PvP for years. Why waste your time? You will need to completely master your class; part of which includes doing thousands of duels in SPvP with varying builds as well as thousands of matches with teams etc. etc. It doesn’t get you anything.

By the time you do this (end result being you gain absolutely nothing but an ego boost… ONLINE) you could have found a wife, bought a house, done home projects, walked to China and back, earned probably $500,000 selling lemonade at a lemonade stand and learned about the meaning of life.

The only thing being the absolute best at your class in this game through determination will get you is an ego boost whenever you win your 1v1.

Please remove the cast time.

Also, buff the duration to the same duration as lich form /Kappa

Greatsword #3 Death Spiral will have its damage decreased and vulnerability decreased because Anet deems it to be too strong of a skill.

Greatsword #5 will get lowered to a single target ability to spite those who wanted a teleport on death spiral.

Death’s Charge will get an increased cooldown (15s-20s) because necros are too mobile which helps them be viable.

Spectral Grasp will get nerfed to 900 range.

Axe will become a projectile somehow.

Dagger will have boon corrupt on auto attack (every part of the chain)

Blood is power will inflict 3 bleed for 30s and self bleeding will be increased to 50 bleed for 30s to capitalize on the new condi stack update.

Nothing can save you! will be increased to 4s cast time up from 0.5s.

Focus will remain unchanged.

Spectral armor cooldown decreased from 50s to 48.5s.

Berserker reaper with lich form and Nothing Can Save You! shout kills scrapper 1v1.

JK. You’ll never get to the point without being killed by a thief.

Yeah, it’s one of the worst skills in the game.

What do you guys think of this change to Soul Eater? (Let’s be real, the siphon was just thrown in there because they didn’t know what else to do)

Greatsword skill recharge 20% faster
Greatsword skills have a 50% increased critical hit chance against chilled foes.

Works well for quite a few reasons but my main driving factor is hydromancy sigil + sigil of agility (quickness) weapon swapping to greatsword and then using gravedigger = yes plz.

Other than that, it will work for the auto attacks (which still need adjustment) grasping darkness, it could help spectral grasp to suck less if its tracking also gets fixed… etc.

I tried slapping on my full zerker gear on my necro again last night in WvW. Ran into a zerker warrior with greatsword/axe. I also had greatsword/axe.

Yeah, I didn’t stand a chance lmfao. Even if I had played 100% perfectly, literally everything is skewed in the warriors favour. Even their “when you reach 50% health” trait is better – they get endure pain (used to be 25% health, power creep Anet plz).

Nothing new. Necromancers greatsword is too slow and has too little mobility. Good luck trying to fight a thief as well as a zerker necro lol. Headshot Headshot Headshot Headshot

I don’t have much issue with axe main-hand as I feel is has decent burst with the right setup but our focus skills are total kittening trash as is our greatsword. Some of our traits need to change too.

Feels like I’ve been waiting like half a year or something now.

This is why condi is out of hand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtZFok_D_TI

Essentially, power creep. That skill was originally designed to inflict 2 conditions – chill and poison.

GvG needs to somehow be “shoehorned” into WvW and by shoehorned, I mean implemented seamlessly and act as if it was always an official part of WvW from the start, thus creating the real esport that is GvG.

World linking then needs to somehow be tied according to what guild rankings are what on each server. Would be complicated to implement for certain, but it is guilds that decide what server wins (to an extent).

I believe this is the death spiral teleport video you are referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM-4UH8t0LU

I still agree with that as well.

I also agree with the fact that our auto attack sucks, our trait Soul Eater should be changed and grasping darkness needs a fix (but so does every pull skill EG spectral grasp)

Zeus CM.1692:

Please no. We do guild mission before reset on saturday. Now we will just get in a way of people that actually play WvW.

So you don’t actually play WvW but you do your guild missions there. Why should your opinion matter? And how is you doing guild missions in WvW getting in the way of real WvWers? You’re in WvW doing objectives – nothing useless about that.

YES PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CHANGE IT BACK TO FRIDAY!!!

But why so late? For EST 10:00 PM is pretty late. 8:00PM EST was fantastic. Could probably work with 9:00 PM EST but 8:00 PM EST is much more preferable.

Lol didn’t even realize that it looked like -25% till just now after wondering wtf ya’ll are talking about.

My bad.

Meant Food: 25% Movement speed

Obviously for WvW…

Food: 25% Movement speed?

Make it happen please.

Originally, I was going to make the typical support type guardian and use durability runes… but that’s such a lame playstyle IMO.

I would rather go with something like this

I feel like guardian has pretty good tools for be a sort of sustained power build with high burst. Anyone try these runes out on guardian?

I believe that “finishing” skill lines should be something that Anet does next before new specializations. Such as how warrior has no elite shout, or ele has no elite signet, or necro has no elite well.

TL;DR
Our elite well should be a fire field that pulses 1s of burning, 1s of retaliation and direct damage for 5 seconds.

Anyhow, this is my thought process in thinking of a well elite for necromancer:

-“What do wells do?”
-“AOE things”
-“Should it inflict CC?”
-“No, chilled to the bone and flesh golem already does”
-“Mesmer well also CCs”
-“There is too much CC spam already in PvP/WvW”
-“Should it deal high damage?”
-“Ehhh… we already have 2 wells that do this”
-“Should it affect conditions on allies?”
-“Nah, that would clash with well of power in some way”
-“Should it mess with boons or conditions on enemies”
-“…no that would clash with well of corruption”
-“What about something totally different…”
-“Resistance? No that doesn’t really make sense for the class and our abilities.”
-“Should it siphon health or heal in some way?”
-“…no we have a trait designed for that”
-“What about changing the type of field?”
-“Well of Blood is a light field. Useful in PvE for whirl to clear condis.”
-“Light fields getting blasted grant retaliation.”
-“Retaliation used to be/sort of is a theme of necromancers…”
-“Wells do aid allies in some way through field effects and protection from trait”
-“What if our elite well grants pulsing retaliation to allies?”
-“That could work. That’s unique, useful and makes sense for our class.”
-“Sounds neat with the trait. Elite wells grants protection and retaliation. Nice.”
-“What about the field type? It shouldn’t be another dark field.”
-“Ice could work but… chill is very prevalent already on our class”
-“Wouldn’t really be anything special, either”
-“It shouldn’t be a lightning field. We have a ton of poison fields already.”
-“What about a fire field?”
-“Smoke field? Ehh… stealth or blind with whirl? I don’t think so.”
-“Well of darkness already blinds and stealth doesn’t make sense for base necro”
-“I think fire could work. Duumfire is currently our only access.”
-“We have no wells for condis unless you count well of darkness with chilling darkness.”
-“Should we really have 1-off well designed for condis while the others aren’t?”
-“Maybe the well should pulse 1s of burn in addition to direct damage?”
-“Makes sense so far I think… doesn’t seem to class with our other elites.”
-“Plague is more used for survivability so it doesn’t seem to class with that”
-“We have no elites that directly aid allies yet”
-“We have some cute pretend ways to grant allies might (Blood is Power)”
-“Fire field makes sense”
-“Does retaliation damage increase as might increases? Probably. It should.”
-“Our trait causes wells to siphon. Does siphon damage increase with might? Idk.”
-“Our well trait should pulse 1s of protection every pulse…”
-“Self fire aura could be cool for necromancer”
-“Elite well should be a fire field that pulses 1s of burning, 1s of retaliation and…?
-”Should it also just do direct damage?"
-“How much damage?”
-“It should probably additionally just do direct damage. Don’t want to get too crazy.”
-“I don’t know how much damage is too much or not enough.”
-“It probably shouldn’t do more damage than well of suffering”
-“What should the cooldown be? 60s?”
-“Sounds good to me.”
-“5s duration?”
-“Sure why not”
-“Why is well of suffering 6s duration and the other wells are 5s duration?”
-“Please nerf well of suffering to 5s duration to help my OCD”
-“Whatever, 5s duration should be fine for elite well”
-“What should the elite well be called?”
-“I shall google synonyms for burning!”
-“Searing?”
-“Sweltering sounds cool”
-“I shall google the meaning of sweltering!”
-“Well of Sweltering. Why not.”

TL;DR
Our elite well should be a fire field that pulses 1s of burning, 1s of retaliation and direct damage for 5 seconds.

Morfedel.4165:

Zefrost.3425:

It’s in that spot in new map that is totally dark. I explored there for an hour or two using squad markers to jump tree branches as lights but I couldn’t find anything else.

Is there anything besides a cat hidden there?

Part of WHICH new map? There are four.

Tangled Depths just below Tangled Descent.

All skill (or all that was left after the power creep over the years) was completely removed with the addition of HoT.

For example.

Why did you give mesmers continuum split? In what kittening universe is a complete skill reset balanced? The little marker that it leaves behind doesn’t even matter for counterplay because when a mesmer uses continuum split, you’re the one playing defensively. This is the most overpowered ability in the entire game because it was given to a class that was already strong. For no kittening reason other than, “timetraveler spec needs to time travel”

Does anyone else miss fighting those highly skilled shatter mesmers with the whole triangle aspect going on? LOL DOESN’T EXIST ANYMORE. Just spam clones/phantasms out your kitten and then reset your skills and do it again.

Here’s another example:

DEJA VU

Why the kitten does it even exist? Just keep it Echo of Memory. What’s the counterplay? Unblockable skills? Lol. K. Then as soon as the mesmer sees that then he spams evades, invulns, blinds or just teleports the kitten out. Mesmer blocks for a million years, creates a phantasm and then… he does it again! And if he uses continuum split then he does it again then does it again again! Keep it a normal kittening block. Why? Because that is balanced.

Those are the biggest offenders for mesmer. Those abilities are totally out of line.

How about necromancer? Yeah, the class that I main. Nerf the mother kittening chill already. Even if you HALVED the chill damage people would STILL TAKE IT. That shows how broken it is. And guess what, it doesn’t matter for PvE either because necromancer will STILL have some of the highest condition damage.

Wow, nerf it.

Druid staff auto attacks.

I was playing a full berserk necro one day and a SOLDIER DRUID (I spectated) put so much pressure on me with staff auto attacks that I lost within 15 seconds.

Lol. Ok then. Maybe I should just dodge it all. Or, better idea. Just buff power necromancer through the roof and then when people complain buff their class through the roof, then, when the necromancer complains again, buff him again.

Then, repeat.
Oh wait that’s what you’ve been doing for years.

How about gunflame?

Yeahhh gunflame. The instant-cast killshot that is somehow better than killshot. Couple this with signet of might and GG anyone and everyone.

How about the fact that unblockable also can’t be reflected? Why? Because it causes weird interaction when certain abilities are reflected, such as creating a clone of the enemy? Then change that aspect somehow. Unblockable shouldn’t mean un-reflectable.

Basically, I miss when combat required some actual kittening thought process.

When I get sick of being ran over when trying new builds, I go back to spite/curses/reaper with wanderer amulet, signet of the insta-kill (spite signet) traited for chilling darkness and signets of suffering with on hit/crit sigils on my weapons.

Nothing like having signet of spite inflict 7 condis on its own + corrupting 2 boons + giving you might + 48s cooldown. From my experience, this kills anyone except thieves very easily. Quite hilarious, actually.

Necro vs necro is the most eye-gouging thing in this game now so to fully cheese these fights, just signet of spite them and then run. If they use their heal before you do, you win.

Surprisingly I find minions to be fun now too. You basically win every time necro vs necro because you have more condi transfer.

It’s in Tangled Depths just below Tangled Descent in the cave that is totally dark in which you require a torch. I explored there for an hour or two using squad markers as lights to jump tree branches but I couldn’t find anything else.

It’s useful in PvE the same way whirlwind is useful – it’s an evade that does damage. Saved my life soloing champs.

Clearly, there should be a commune point in the Royal Terrace but since there isn’t it must be a bug. (Airship too) Doesn’t have to grant a skill point. Just let us commune.

Saying Amins doesn’t know what havoc does… just LOL

1. Why doesn’t ranked still exist?
2. Why can’t you lose tiers by playing bad or lose points by inactivity?
3. ?????
4. Profit

?????????????

Common misconceptions about GvG:
- Adding a 4th gametype would spread players too much.
No, it wouldn’t. If there’s no GvG then those players don’t play… AT ALL. See: dwindled playerbase. GvG players also do WvW anyways because it’s good practice and guild hall arenas will be used for GvG practice. How the kitten is any of that bad? By having GvG in the obsidian sanctum you also get to implement whatever siege, stat boosts, whatever you want in regular WvW because those don’t affect obsidian sanctum.

Yep, that’s basically the only argument against GvG.

Oh, I forgot about the, “GvG isn’t really what Guild Wars means though…” argument. Just kitten with that “argument”.

Let’s be real, GvG – which came about by emergent gameplay – (which devs are supposed to look for and capitalize on – they failed to capitalize) is the real potential for “esports”, not SPvP. ESL streams are never above a thousand or so players because no one cares. The recorded videos only have a few hundred viewers.

How many views do these videos have?
- RG vs INC Over 17,000.
- RG vs Zumos Over 43,000
- WvW (not SPvP) raid of RG Over 115,000

- ESL Highlights 166 views.
- ESL Match 2,574 views.

Even the most least watched WvW and GvG videos have more views than the most watched SPvP videos.
__________________________________________________________________
- Make obsidian sanctum a megaserver. Megaservers will circumvent possible trolling of queue times by allowing players to create a new server to GvG on.
- Guilds that issue a GvG challenge while another GvG is currently underway are put into a queue, only to be able to enter as contestant when it is their guilds turn.
- Only guilds with at least 5 players active within the last month may issue a GvG challenge. (To help prevent queue time trolling)
- Add new guild permission: Kick out of arena (To work in obsidian and guild halls)
- Add function to challenge other guilds to a GvG. (Function only in obsidian sanctum)
- Able to issue challenge of 5v5, 10v10, 15v15 or 20v20.
- Add leaderboards for 5v5, 10v10, 15v15 and 20v20.
- All challenges are winner is best of 3 rounds.
- Add badge icons for all guild members. Different badge for guilds GvG rank (like SPvP)
- Add barriers around the arena so randoms can’t enter like guild halls have.
- Add entry portal in tunnel with text: Enter as contestant or Enter as spectator.
- Spectators are ported to the outer ring where combat is disabled.

- Contestants can only enter if they are a guild member of the issued GvG challenge. Only a certain amount of contestants (guild members) may enter. Example: If 5v5, only a maximum of 5 of your guild members may enter. Guild members with kick from arena permission will take the reigns from here and decide what guild members to kick out of the arena (if they’re trolling) and who may participate.

- Add ready up function where round begins when all players ready up.
- Combat is disabled in the arena until all players ready up.
- Round ends when all players on the opposing side are defeated.
- When round completes, all players automatically revive and ready up is reset.
- When final round completes, all players are revived, combat disabled, fireworks go off and players have 10 seconds until kicked from the arena to the spectator stands.
- Winner is awarded some sort of point for GvG leaderboards.
__________________________________________________________________

There would obviously be some other aspects that that I missed/need to be done but let’s get some kittening GUILD WARS in GUILD WARS, please?

You’re actually running out of time to save the game, btw.

Little bit off topic I guess but the reason I post that video is because that skill was designed to inflict 2 things: Chill and poison. That’s it. That was balanced.

Sure have power creeped a long way since release. /kappa

Skill cap → PvE → LOL!

No one gives a kitten about PvE, anything works there.

Ye, l2p against this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtZFok_D_TI

le much skill involved to play le necro.

Of Sundering Leap and Staggering Blow.

They rarely hit anyone, such as that clip shows.

Sundering Leap should obviously be the standard 240 radius and staggering blow should be at least 180.

Loop.8106:

I would enjoy seeing you run Blood is Power and Sinister amulet in pvp. Can you upload the full match?

Pretty please <3

Every necro you fight will have might, so that imitates it. And it’s not sinister, lol.

I agree just buff everything don’t nerf anything ever

So, there’s a massive influx of thieves since the Jan 26th balance patch.
I have been trying to create a build to counter thieves specifically, but not be useless in all other aspects.

I’ve been having pretty good success with this build (with mercenary amulet).

Even Anas Tarcis copied my build after seeing it :^)

Anyway. What do you think? Warrior for thief counter? Or another class? Scrapper doesn’t seem as good at countering them, IMO. Curious as to if some sort of ele build with shocking aura spam would work too.

Wrote a novel worth of complaints of the lack of counterplay in this game, how unblockable should not = un-reflectable or un-destroyable, some skills like mirror blade shouldn’t be unblockable, condi application is way over the top, spam spam spam, spectral armor was balanced at 60s cooldown with no internal CD to scale with foes, blah blah blah, why is phoenix unblockable, BLAH BLAH, return of the evade spam thieves, spam spam, mesmer getting a new shatter to reset skills was extremely stupid to create for counterplay, blah blah, etc.

I’ll just leave this here.

This is the kind of crap that causes this game to not be esports – game modes and leaderboards aside. Who the kitten wants to watch this? Viewers don’t even know WTF is going on in fights. There’s so much SPAM in this game now. It goes for every class.

Yes, it’s a golem. Cry to someone else if you don’t get the point.

This is what people actually enjoy watching. No spam + counterplay is clear.

(wtf is with the spaces?)

Even people who don’t play the game can understand most of what’s going on AND there are clutch moments. Exciting. Exciting because there’s no SPAM.

I can’t believe how BAD the devs are at balancing this game. This game will go down in history for having the highest failed potential.

Passives and on crit junk has to go. Sigils that apply a new condition for no reason other than crit shouldn’t exist. For example: Sigil of Torment should not apply torment on critical hit for no reason. Instead, make it so that any skill that applies torment applies 1 extra stack on critical hit. This is balanced.

What is a balanced passive? Endure Pain at 25% health is balanced. You can land a burst to kill them before the 25% health proc and they are susceptible to CC and conditions.

What isn’t a balanced passive? Soothing Bastion
Basically invulnerability with health regen. Just WTF is supposed to be the counterplay to this?Unblockable attacks? Lol K.

Don’t agree? Good. Keep arguing badly and sewer this game some more.

This game was more balanced at release. Over the years: We’ll take a few seconds off this skill for no reason… increase this skill a little bit… NERF PISTOL WHIP!… let’s add some more ways to gain quickness… OMFG QUICKNESS OP REMOVE ITS FUNCTION FROM EVERYTHING!… let’s not buff warrior and guardian mace autos because we don’t wanna… OMG MAKE CONDIS STACK… shave the coni duration on this by 1s cause just cause… hmm maybe make this unblockable… REMOVE AMULETS!!!!… add this on crit passive here… maybe make an evade everything at 25% health here… GIVE NECRO BOON CORRUPT ON EVERYTHING!!!!!!! :@ :@… etc
