Guild Wars 2

XxsdgxX.8109:

Not only Rev’s damage got butchered (aside from not even buffing staff or just anything else in fact) it also got it’s survability neutered lol. Come on, I can get the AA nerf but because we were promised attention on other things. ANETs response seems to be to always to overnerf and overbuff things simultaneously… and each 3 kittening months

The logic is..we feel rev sword auto is too high so we nerf it and buff thief auto to even more ridiculous level bc logic. We want thief to spend init on defense.. like rev doesnt need energy for defense but again logic so its all okay.

Yukiatsuruko.3784:

Revenant changes aren’t that bad when you consider all the changes the other classes underwent.

What changes?

Ranger – buffed, druid 0 nerfs
Engi – buffed, scrapper slight nerf
Necro, reaper – buffed
Thief, daredevil – buffed
War – slight buffs
Mes – deleted due to nerfs and thief buffs
Ele – seems to be deleted
Guardian – buffed, Dh – slight nerf to trap
Revenant – nerfed hard (bc he needed nerfs..), herald nerfed which puts him into deleted like mes

Just do a 1v1 between rev using aa+quickness and rite proc at 50% hp vs thief doing only aa . Have good laugh.

I think they should nerf revenant some more, thats not enough. 3,2k is still high, nerf it by another 40% and put damage into precision strike that likes to hit in random stuff like houses at khylo or sentries in wvw.

Thief was soft counter to rev due to how rev heals operate but now thief will demolish any rev on a sigh. Season 2 will be fun.

Yep, sword 2 is indeed fun. I shooted projectiles into the sky vs ranger 1v1 just bc i casted it while he was in air (swoop leap). You do realzie that you dont have to even dodge precision strike right? Thief doesnt need to run stealth with daredevil build either due to tons of evades they have. Tell me again what rev brings over thief/necro/scrapper. Im staying away, let the meta settle and lets see who was right cus i consider rev to be quite..trash now.

Rym.1469:

Tested Mercenary’s Mallyx builds and Power Rev. Ain’t that bad, I wouldn’t lament.

Do a dps race with your rev vs thief. I get rekt with aa+quickness on my part. Any thief will faceroll power rev as hes not threat at all anymore, that how they butchered it while overpowering others.

Azure.8670:

He did a great job with this class

He did what? You call it great job?

Meanwhile my friend thief kills heavy golem with aa under the same time i do but with quickness. Prepare to be destroyed and teabagged

Well staff aa is only about 3,5% worse than sword so..

brannigan.9831:

Elementalist, Mesmer, and Revenants all needed to be nerfed they were the only classes being run at high levels of play with a few exceptions.

Scrapper, druid, reaper are fine tho right?

Staff? F staff, what about hammer?

Well im not fotm reroller and assuming that ill keep playing gw (most likely not) i will stick to rev even if he will become worse than ranger moa. I feel sorry for people that will have me on tam tho as like i said, ill run core rev without herald and wont give a single f. Problem? Balance team this way —>>>>

Kodiak.3281:

Burtnik.5218:

Also now that our dps is trashed, sustain nerfed i have to ask – where is my condi removal?

Hahahaha oh boy are you under the impression that “balance” means take one thing and give another?

Oh right i forgot what game and broken beta class i play. I am not allowed to stand any chance vs any condi build doesnt matter what i pick up and obviously im not allowed to damage either. Cherry on cake; op shacking wave, nerf plz

Burtnik.5218:

How so? I will play base rev in season 2 and wont give a kitten if i feed enemy team or not. Any problem? Blame incompetent balance team that should be fired and replace by a new competent one long ago. I am slowly moving to Smite either way so i couldnt care less. Things got worse much when hated Jon Peters left.

“Now that the revenant is out in the wild, we’ve been taking a hard look at it. The general goal for this profession is focused specialization through a variety of trait and legend choices. We’ll be continuing this in the future by assuring that each legend and core/elite specialization fulfills their respective roles. In this iteration, we’ll be looking to tone down the revenant’s sword damage in some areas and adjust the weapon’s abilities so that it’s less focused on autoattacking and better at singling out and attacking enemies. We’re also keeping a close eye on the revenant’s defensive capabilities.”

In future means only one thing;

• 0 buffs to offhand sword
• 0 buffs to staff
• 0 buffs to Jalis/Retribution
• 0 buffs to Ventari
• 0 buffs/compensation whatsoever for deleting hammer from the game (for spvp and heavy nerfed in pve)
• No rework whatsoever to Mallyx and corruption line,
• No rework to shiro healing or fixed PT (which should also become insta cast due to slapped cd)
• Base rev still without 25% movement trait (or swiftness) despite the fact we have a slot in adept devastation for it

Thats the upcoming patch. Nothing at all, just sword and Glint nerfs. So yep if thats all they have for this update im gonna laugh like no tomorrow. In fact i already do when i look at “buffed” warrior sustain and “buffed” cyclone axe. I could write a book about how kitten rev is without herald but why bother.

Im so good at predicting future. First ua to 5 strikes, now 0 f given about everything else. Praise me peasants.

They nuked core rev by adding icd to stab on dodge (instead of adjusting herald trait), nuked sword dps, nerfed quite hard sustain, buffed other classes and you complain about rev that is in fact out of meta? Wait till you run into staff/dagger thief with 1.8 coe on auto (old sword rev had 1.5) or mercenary reaper

Also now that our dps is trashed, sustain nerfed i have to ask – where is my condi removal?

Dh actually got buff vs condi. There is no reason to pick up rev over thief (that will eat you alive and kitten on your body) or scrapper. Condi? Hail necro overlords.

So Rym, what about precision strike being scary?

It always worked like that, just like ua. Are you surprised? Its brokenant.

Evilek.5690:

steve.2945:

welp, time to jump off the revenant ship, thanks anet, you ruined a perfectly fun class.

True lol. I test right now Precision strike and I can say only one thing. 4.5k its my bigest hit on single target with light armor lol

Lets not forget how slow it fires these projectiles.. ahahaha gl hf hititng anything with brain

Hail necros overlords

Rym.1469:

Roy said he isn’t working on Revenant anymore and hasn’t been for quite some time, off to other projects.

Who works on rev now? Karl? Ice bow revenge?

<Slow clap> Gratz guys. Youre the best!

Unwavering Avoidance: This trait now has a 5-second internal cooldown.

So instead of actually reworking or increase icd to Enhanced Bulwark you butchered trait from core rev that wasnt a issue whatsoever? No words, i literally facepalmed while reading it. I move on and say bye to your trash game and your trash balance.

Incompetent team that nerfs random stuff as the guys behind team no idea whatsoever about their own game. Right now you killed retribution line as stab on dodge was main reason to pick it up. Keep up the good job, gl in future

Btw. Coalescence of Ruin: The recharge of this skill has been increased from 2 seconds to 4 seconds. Enemies are now able to be struck by this ability only once every 0.5 seconds.

Cool story bro, was the ability fixed to actually land properly? No? Well then..was at least range penalty taken away? No..oh well too bad.. but…. was the hammer compensated for such nerf? Hmm… let me see..i think we miss some patch notes, where can i see them?

I could go on and mention sword nerfs, Glint heal nerf, shield nerf, 0 f… given about sword offhand, Jalis, lol Shiro heal and other trash traits but why i should bother. Bb.. or not, i will continue joking about clueless “balance” in gw2

Pepsi.8907:

Reem.3578:

I expect an increase in the amout of kittens throughout the forums.

Impossible, the cap has been reached with bunker meta :o

Everytime you say it Anet comes up with something worse. I remember when cele meta was considered the worst.. need i say more?

I dont want any “legend” from gw2 let it be fail apple Tybalt which was a shame for charr race or salad Scarlet. Ventari is enough already. We need moar legends like Mallyx. Atm we have 4 good legend and just one baddie. Yes i consider Shiro a good legend as he throws bro lines all over the place which suggest we channel the precorrupted version of him

Wings in gemstore all day long, wings as legendary backpieces.. Srsly someone runned out of ideas? What happened to backpieces like fractal cap, toxic spore skin? Im guessing that all future releases will be wings only as well.

8. Rifle warrior op

The first thing im gonna do is hop on ranger notes and see if anything was done to the pet.. if yes then i will hop one hour later to taste delicious tears of rangers that cannot be carried by pets anymore.

Burn.5401:

You have to be a famous gw2 streamer to get immediate attention from A-net. See that stupid inventory compact button placement that got priority over all the broken stuff in-game due to a streamer missclicking it and whining about it.

Yep, be popular streamer or gtfo pleb.. Who care about bilions of bugs bots or cheaters in spvp/wvw plaguing this game like the 3yr old immobilize bug. Lets “fix” inventory compact button and ignore everything else cus some popular stream is blind as kitten. Esport lmfao

The only thing that sword gains from this patch is a “burst” option on 2 assuming you do..1v1 and they dont have pet etc otherwise sword becomes a joke.

Question if its worth it for huge nerf to ua (and keeping it multi target) and aa nerf? Absolutely not. And given how slow these projectiles are you want to land it by either pulling them with sword 5, taunt with jalis or jade winds.

Doesnt matter in general as you want cast it only in melee range/inside hitbox like whirwind wrath and hope some nasty ele wont apply reflect aura to them.

At this point however if its not usable on anything outside of melee range, why its even a ranged skill still? Thats obvious it should be changed to melee for everyone but.. devs.

Atm “buffed” precision strike and ua doesnt make sense if they want sword to be “singling out enemies” as sword will be even more pathetic in teamfights/ vs pet class but its something that they dont understand for a kitten at all. Sometimes i wonder what they have inside…

Now my advise is to grab popcorn, wait for patch notes and move on.

I cant w8 for patch tomorrow.. popcorn is ready. For me it will be between continue playing gw2 or move out completely to Smite and keep trolling forum.

Precision strike will be nerfed in 2 days after patch due to crying on forum, nvm it barely can hit a kitten already. Just watch

Give them some more time. 3 years is not enough.

Quintoozla.7893:

Wait aren´t you a rev? No need for tanky amulet.

I am playing rev, guard, war, ranger, engi. Just bc i main rev doesnt mean i play only one class.

UmbraNoctis.1907:

DH can oneshot players with other abilities. Does it really matter, which button(s) to press?

Um.. if you get oneshooted by dh then i have nothing to add here. And btw you said “abilities” as far i know bristle is just one skill that deals more damage than 3,5sec channeled selfroot skill called hb. Looks balanced right?

Or example with dh when someone has to step up in all traps comboed with knockback from true shot and pull from spear to trigger test of faith 3 times. How much effort does it take for ranger to press f2 and drink coffee? Nvm, drinking coffee too hard and too op.

Cynz.9437:

^Hey anet i wanna do 15k backstab while wearing bunkery amulet. ty.

Nah, you did it wrong. Remember that only class mechanic is supposed to deal so much damage.

Hey Anet i wanna do 15k steal while wearing sentinel amulet, tyvm bb

UmbraNoctis.1907:

Burtnik.5218:

Didnt know profession mechanic is supposed to 1 hit people.

Hey Anet, equilibrium is underpowered, i cant one shot people with legend swap. Please buff kthxbye

When reading such posts I wonder, why serious teams don’t stack multiple druids as dps/burst class instead of … revs?

You understand sarcasm right? That was only a example, not like anyone pick up this trash trait either way. But sure, if you want something else…

Hey Anet, i cant one shot people with virtues, please buff kthxbye

Same kitten really, except dh is not meta ;o

Hammerguard.9834:

So now we’re comparing a single skill to an entire profession mechanic? And lets just pretend 15k is a thing.

Brilliant. You win thread.

Didnt know profession mechanic is supposed to 1 hit people.

Hey Anet, equilibrium is underpowered, i cant one shot people with legend swap. Please buff kthxbye

Fat Disgrace.4275:

Engi would make sence I mean they “could build a device” to reveal in pheaory, but rev? I don’t understand that 1

Lore wise indeed reveal makes no sense for rev bc they dont rely on sight to see things in the first place. Stealth/blind doesnt mean a kitten to them. Translating lore to game mechanic would mean stealth and blind would be completely useless against rev.

As for the thread.. daredevil doesnt need stealth at all unless running away.

Shovel Face.4512:

need l2p myself

Dodging under immobilize is underpowered? Okay.

Mahou.3924:

Burtnik.5218:

Dat troll insulting everyone.. for real man?

And your comments and bitter QQing how A-Net balances around “pleb level” are any better than what you conceive as trolling? Maybe you are a pro at talking kitten and belittlement but definitely not a pro-level player.

To quote a response to a similar fail-attitude .
“I love arguments like this. If its only good against “pleb levels” and you are a pro why do you care so much then if things are being nerfed (…)" “But to say something is only good against bad people yet cry to see it untouched that’s a stoopid transparent argument.”

Fail quote and you may do some research for a proper one. But yep, balance is done around pleb level as Glint heal wasnt a issue to anyone at high level. Facerollers wasnt happy healing rev back to full tho. There inst any real reason to nerf glint heal as it stands now cause its already predicable heal. In fact power rev is not even meta as it was pushed out by shiro/mallyx. Your point?

Nova Stiker.8396:

Guild Wars 2 has great potential to be an Esport.

Cele was removed as you could be a decent bunker with still fairy damage output. Thats should give druids a idea why its not right to hit like berserker in tanky gear. If these pets was squishy at least so you could focus and kill them like birds in few sec but nope.

Shiro – Ceremonial Sabre
Jalis – Iron Hammer
Ventari – Gnarled Walking Staff, Bramblethorn, Imryldyeen
Mallyx – Tormented

Yep, obviously ncsoft paid streamers to stream it.. more like BnS is a esport game with proper 1v1 balance while gw2 is in deep …

Juba.8406:

Warrior says Hi

War sword is condi based. If you want fair comprasion do it with axe

Afkers should lose all up to 15 pips for causing the team to lose.

gannondorf.7628:

But i would prepair myself more to cry than laugh.

How so? I will play base rev in season 2 and wont give a kitten if i feed enemy team or not. Any problem? Blame incompetent balance team that should be fired and replace by a new competent one long ago. I am slowly moving to Smite either way so i couldnt care less.

In fact i already do when i look at “buffed” warrior sustain and “buffed” cyclone axe. I could write a book about how kitten rev is without herald but why bother.

Even if you make Rite insta the damage reduction will remain trash. Unless you can combine it with protection (something base rev lack) it doesnt do a kitten really. I tried to use it in intended way before a burst (for such cast time it should be rewarding right?) and see how well it did. It needs to be reverted back to 100% reduction or at least be upped to 80%. 2650 armor in vid

Road is not something that will work ever in a mobile combat either, which idiot will try to stand in it in current aoe nuke meta for a 1sec stack of stab? Do you see any guard using hallowed ground either that actually fits capture point unlike road?

Heal also needs block like shelter. Either we go into tank theme or i want my 200% damage nerf on hammers back.

I am waiting for patch notes to laugh.
