A message from the Skills Team:
Greetings, Tyrians!
We are here today to talk about some of the build-thematic changes that will be coming with the next balance iteration. Depending on your chosen profession and your role in combat, these changes may require some stat-swapping on your gear. We feel that giving a bit of a “heads-up” is appropriate.
One of the most notable changes being made is to the healing values of the Druid as a primary healer. Base values for the Celestial Avatar heals will be reduced, while the healing power contribution will be enhanced significantly. The reasoning for these changes is that while we are excited about the Druid being an incredibly strong healer, we would also like to see that role as one of many choices in your attribute build.
Similarly, there will be changes in boon duration and boon application for a few professions. For the Revenant, we’ll be looking at reducing Naturalistic Resonance’s base boon duration. For Mesmer, we’re looking at making Signet of Inspiration’s boon sharing functionality a bit more controlled, giving each shared boon a fixed duration. To help compensate for these general reductions, we’ll be increasing both damage and a few different baseline boon durations.
As this update rolls out we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these changes, along with the remainder of the balance updates, and will make additional adjustments and tweaks as necessary. Thanks very much for your time!
-The Skills TeamArenanet. Please Stop don’t nerf druid and don’t buff Revenant DMG WTF Revenant it king of DPS and stopped it already PLS "Oh my God’. Arenanet stop listening to the CRy QQ Forums and start listening to the people “Buff-Ideas” Those who doing it and know about it!!!….. PLEASE< I beg you just stop it ok and you already cause more than enough to damage alot things which aren’t suppose to be there and ask your Designer in-Charge class to started listening and thank you.
revenant king of dps? LOLOLOL not in pve . maybe you should be more specific. also druid deservers this nerf. if you dont spec toward healing you shouldnt be healing like mad. that goes for any class. spec for the thing you want.
When, I said revenant " King of Dps" I mean imply on Pvp and WvW or roaming not in PVE… Which is what I mean by that they could just instantly fast damage you/ 1 shot thief and able killed Warrior and even able to Teleport while has high good boon duration also could be used for Commander frontline/backline or boon sharing. They, even in fact has mix between thief dodging and Warrior like huge burst while good sustainable and now they boosting more damage to Revenant Wtffffff???. I, even seen 1.5 Million damage in Pvp on Revenant and could even kill very good super tanks druid that fast. Druid does not deserve this nerf neither some other class while relevant shouldn’t get a damage buff fair and square Bro.
