I play an offensive ‘balanced’ Guardian Tpvp, and I fully understand why this nerf was made. Obviously the reuse timer should have been brought down into the 30’s, but that will probably be done in the future.
The nerf sucks. I don’t like it at all. Just like I don’t like any nerf to my class. That being said, Save Yourselves to an extent, was overpowered. Unfortunately, it more than likely got nerfed because of bunkers . There still is a counter to it (necro corrupt/any form of boon removal), which makes me wonder why the nerf was so.. harsh. But nonetheless, the skill was being used as an IWIN button sort of thing. The reduction in duration forces you to use it more specifically in fights now.
If you are complaining about the SY nerf, then you probably used it as a crutch. If you didn’t use it as a crutch, then you understand the nerf in one way or another. It’s unfortunate that it had to be nerfed so hard, and hopefully they will retweak it in the future. We will have to wait and see.
I still use it. You just have to be more precise about using it. No more “Oh I see a guy, Ima press SY before I engage or as I engage.” If you are good you will be using it at specific times in combat when you need the particular benefits it provides.
