Guild Wars 2

ANet, what the hell?

You claim to buff guardian GS combo ability, but actually nerf them by doubling the cooldown on GS combo field.
You claim to nerf retaliation, but do not touch the problem builds, instead you give GS -5s cooldown on its Leap finisher for more potential Retaliation from that.
Instead, you break GS symbol builds, make GS boring and change the forced bind order.
Afterwards, you do not listen to player feedback and revert the change, instead you try to fix it by minor changed to completely wrong things.

DEMAND

1. REVERT THIS CHANGE.
2. Change Symbol of Wrath’s boon from Retaliation to Might or Fury.

REASONING

• Retaliation gets the nerf you wanted to give it.
• Combo abilities are not accidentally nerfed.
• GS retains its old keybindings.
• Symbol-based GS builds are not nerfed to oblivion.
• GS remains a fun & intuitive weapon to use.
• GS roughly retains its effective DPS.
• Thematically, Might or Fury would be as fitting for Symbol of Wrath as Retaliation is.
• 5x 1s Might or Fury would give SoW a comparable offensive boon support role
• The problem of easy permanent Retaliation is avoided.

I hope this sums up the thread in a short, concise manner. All involved parties should be happy with this.
