Massive Game Imbalancement
Anet needs to direly reform and redesign their combat systems that are relevant for class balancing accordingly around the fact, that GW2 has now the Elite Specializations and that the game will receive more of them in the distant near future.
1st: The Base Health Restriction System needs to go finally. If this game ever wants to get close to true class balancement, anet needs to start finally to balance all classes INDIVIDUALLY, this includes especially the Base Health Values of every single class.
2nd Conditions and Boons need to get merged and redesigned, the game has already way too many boons and conditions, than it is good for this games combat system and the game’s performance in regard of lags and the general system of stacking of boons and conditions that make it only more complicated for the games performance due to all of the calculations the game must make every second from all the stacks of conditions and boons. The game would run much better, with an overworked boon and condition system with long lasting boons which don’t need to be reapplied every few seconds, so that peopel can focus more on the combat and not so much, on which boons they have currently on running, which in fact would strength then also boon steal/corruption builds better and make them more impactful for the game and stronger in counterplay for combats.
Same as much must GW2 get away from this tedious and annoyung condition spam.
Conditions shouldn’t replace direct damage, or be far more powerful, than fightign with direct damage. Conditions are there, to manipulate the outcome of a battle to your favor, nothing more, nothign less.
They should be also longer lasting, and harder to remove, while being also massively lesser spammy, so that playing a condition build can be also more impactful, without that you need to constantly spam your enemy full with condiotions to force them to waste the condi removals. And conditions stacks need to get reduced for PvP and WvW and get limited to maximum 10 and raising stacks in intensity should slihgtly always reduce the duration of conditions by a fixated percentage! of 5%!!
3rd Upgrades, so Runes, Gemstones, Sigils and all that stuff need to get redesigned, rebalanced, reduced/merged with Elite Specializations also being in the mind of their balancings and gameplay mechanics.
4th Get rid of the game design from Attribute Points received from equipment.
This is one big main issue, that creates in this game massively GRIND, because everyone and their mum griunds for ascended stuff, just to get perfect stats, because the largest part of attribute points you can get comes from grinding your equipment up to ascended stuff!!!
Attribute Points are something, that the player should receive AUTOMATICALLY from leveling up the character to Max Level 80 and from that point on you should be done as player with Attributes. The player should spent manualyl the received Attribute Points, then into the Attribute Lines, where the player should be able just like in GW1 outside of combat to change at will the spent points between the Attribute Lines.
5th Redesign the Attribute System in itself into Attributes with Dual Effects, where every Attribute improves two combat relevant things, because this will increase build diversity, this will equalize defensive builds with offensive builds in a more balanced way, because defensive builds would receive this way needd synergy effects to become equal with offensive builds, which profitate from stat synergies, since day one of GW2, while defensive stats currently have no real synergies at all since day one!!
6th Split finally the balancing for Skills & Traits between the games Gameplay Modes, and make Skills Traits, that are exlusively for PvE/WvW and exlusive Skill/trait effects, that are soely only for PvP… so that it finalyl stops that PvE and WvW have to suffer from stupid skill/trait changes, that were only based for PvP balancing.
With all kinds of combat system related thigns in this game beign seperated balanced with own effects for PvP, the game woudl be for everyone soooooo much better and enjoyable again, because its just frustrating when you lose ever and ver again your beloved builds that you like to pla,y for that you worked hard in the game to get them, just to get to know, that you got your beloved builds basicalyl robbed by Anet, because they changed something in general on skils,l ,traits, ect. with the only intention to balance PvP – which is a game mode, which is played by the absolute minority of this games player base.
