Guild Wars 2

Yep, i made in pants about how scary precision strike wil be in actual fight instead of fooling around.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AoRq8cdAlQ

It reminds me something… wasnt it guard scepter?! Never hits at 500+ distance, miss most of the time at mid range, experiences tracking issues. It only seems to work in melee – why it wasnt made melee then?

Kitten, its really so scary that i might uninstall. 2spooky4me.

Burtnik.5218:

Lets also note that outside of mesmer everyone else got buffed. Rev nerfs+everyone else buffed around?

Like superior boon corruption for necro? Diamond skin wiping 1 condi/sec (rev has no coverage with trash condi). As condi rev you cant really fight these classes anymore, you be destroyed and teabagged. Our only option vs condi that is resistance is gone basically.

Power damage? Thief will superior and the one that can actually focus and single out targets in teamfights, unlike rev that gets weaker the moment someone show up so i dont see a reason to take rev over thief now. Also worth of a note that thief already counter rev.

See you in season 3, maybe

unlike other classes, this class is very limited on choices. Lets buff other choices before we start to nerf everything to the ground. just saying.

new baseline weapons would be a start. also more baseline legends to pick from.

They delete it faster so youre left with nothing else but shiro/glint. So much about “packages where everything is strong and viable”. At this point we should get ability to mix n match skills as they kittened big time. Just like with no cd utility skills cus we have energy management and that is “our” cooldown. 4 days later cd’s slapped on everything, phase traversal fails to teleport most of the time to this day.

Hexalot.8194:

Prothescar.7842:

Unless they change the way the projectiles work, you won’t be hitting anything or anyone with all 3 unless you’re standing inside of their hitbox. Good luck.

Yeah, it’s essentially now become a point blank weapon, but believe it or not it can still work for you.

Phase traversal > precision strike (dmg + chill) > go to town with sword AA or UA instead if that’s your thing :-)

I know I’ll certainly be abusing the hell out of the above.

Explain me whats the point of going blank point with ranged attack. It doesnt make sense, does it? Instead of reworking it to be a melee attack they will keep it in current trash state. So kitten lazy.

unbrokenlegend.1278:

But they are nerfing diamond skin ele. With all the Rev nerfs can we get a little condi removal in this balance patch that’s not based on a boon that is easily stripped? Especially with Necro’s corrupt boon having a 15 second cool down and the scepter auto having it as well.

Prepare your kitten for more pointless nerfs next week and roll different class for season 2. Reaper looks interesing with mercenary ammu.

And how about you realize that its just a part of their sustain? Its not like every class has cd on demand btw.

Right now condi hits harder than power. Burn and confusion is that broken.

And ironically, the only true condition build currently viewed as “meta” has neither in great abundance. Condi Reaper trades their usual pressure for burns, and never gets them high.

Last time i checked, chill been hitting like a truck. Not rare to see it tick for -800 up to 1k. And given how long you can keep it up on people along with 8 different trash conditions..

To get it that high, you’re dealing with 25 Vuln and Might simultaneously. Yes, Chill can hit hard, but when you really crunch the numbers, you see condi Reaper capping out at around 2.5k DPS. That’s hardly out of line when your attacks aren’t being dodged.

I currently do say that the changes to Scepter auto are a bad idea, however. Condi Reaper does not need a buff from today. The things locking it out of the meta are being changed (Diamond Skin Tempests) and as such, they will come into the competitive scene without needing buffs.

-800 is not that hard to achieve. Chill is problematic condition already as it reduces your skill recharge by 66%, also for condi cleanse. For reaper that has tons of it+kittenload of condi to cover it up it just end up broken. Old medi guard had a fair chance to beat necro..well try it now. Like you said, now that ele is gone reaper will become more than viable. With the upcoming buffs however he will become over the top and basically unstoppable by anything that isnt a thief/maybe druid. Dhuumfire 2.0 inc.

Power Wrench – Recharge reduction was 20% before. We increased it to 33%.

What? You dont enjoy 13,4sec cd gear shield? L2p.

Cam Ron.4170:

Soooo do you agree or disagree that they are disgustingly overpowered in their current state? Because I think that they are

Condi rev op? Not really.

Conditions being broken as kitten in general? Yes, they need it damage to be toned down drastically and return to the old “slow overtime” dot damage they were supposed to be. Or actually get rid of condi damage completely and make condi itself opposition to boons – debuffs. Right now condi hits harder than power. Burn and confusion is that broken.

Cam Ron.4170:

Currently revenants wearing vipers ammy run around like they are wearing soldiers. It’s disgusting.

Good riddance.

Also, everybody overreacting about the auto boon strip. Itll probably be 1 boon on third attack. Not sure if you realize it but most necros already run very heavy boon strip, and revenants are very viable. Corrupt boon buff is actually more impactful than the scepter auto one imo

You do realize that its only a part of boon hate necro gets, right? Without resistance rev is trash due to 0 condi removal and that now will easily be stripped, stab on dodge into fear going to be fun as well.

Signets strip boons but they also have long cd’s, we could cover resistance with f2. No more. Power builds already gets facerolled by anything with condi (and on top of that gets huge dps nerf), condi rev will be facerolled by reaper as we wont be able to keep up resistance with all the spamable boon corruption, condi transfers. Rev will be out of meta.

Malchior.5732:

That’s fine and dandy, but I don’t want Sword to be near-worthless as soon as it turns into a 1vX or when a Mesmer/Ranger/MinionMancer shows up.

To make me happier with these changes, they need to make Precision Strike and UA single-target. We already know how deadly reflects can be, but at such close-range, you won’t be able to even react, so at least make our new burst not so random in bigger fights.

Precise strike doesnt make sense to be a ranged skill either way unless they boost velocity. As it stands now it will miss 99,9% times at 500+ range, most of the time at 300+ and sometimes even in close to melee range. Its so unreliable that its just waste of energy really. Gonna drop a troll vid here in few h to show patheitc it is. It is actually even worse in a real pvp scenario than the set up i made. Noone worth 2 coppers will even get hit by that.

And as you said if sword is now supposed to single out enemie why its not 1v1 focused and instead only gets weaker and weaker when more targets show up? Does thief sword damage decreases with more targets around or really any other weapon? Pure bs really. Nerfed ua just doesnt make sense to be a multi target ability anymore.

They had to put something there and pretent they worked hard on it, right?

Rym.1469:

Burtnik.5218:

Rym.1469:

Precision Strike 1v1 will be now super scary. Over 100% Chill uptime.

Super scary in 1v1 my kitten. The projectile is so slow that it miss even my grandma. How is that supposed to be scary? The skill itself is scary already. Scary at how horrible it is.

You underestimate it’s potential and damage (which, from what I heard on livestream gets even buffed) . These projectiles aren’t that slow as you say, track through the stealth, chill and if all 3 hit same target, they’re huge damage even now – test for yourself. 3 projectiles hitting Thief can take half of his health.

Um, no i dont. Unless you cast it in melee range chances for it to hit are next to 0 if you know basic mechanics of the game – strafing. Rev actually have become even weaker in teamfights/vs pet classes.

Also its not like something stopped you now from lining up precise strike in teamfights right? So what was buffed really? You gave me a example of the possiiblity to already hit with it up 3 times in a row which means theres no real buff. Precison strike unlike auto/ua is also affected by deflection/reflection. Looks fun to me, not only my healing can be reflected back to damage me and heal enemy, but now also my supposed “buffed” skill at the cost of auto and ua can get reflected back into my face.

Famine.3164:

wired.7324:

balance patch … you belive in this fairy tails :s.

Did you miss the patch on the 26th? or do you belive that it won’t make any difference? ^^

Druid untouched. Based on other class nerfs he just became even stronger. Still fart out dazes, still tank, still has pet doing zerk damage and load of sustain

Scrapper untouched. Still going to hit like a truck with tons of sustain. On top of that gear shield got another buff – reduction to 13,4cd for a 3sec mobile block.. Not like you have to use it as scrapper either way.

Dragonhunter basically no changes. Minor nerf to test of faith which probably will result into pushing them back to medi as smite condi now will remove 2. Annoying daze on traps remains still.

Reaper – buffed to a whole new level of cancer, even more so with the new mercenary amulet

Tempest – i dont really perceive diamond skin as a nerf from condi rev point. Reaper will destroy them now as they have insane condi coverage tho

Mesmer/Chronomancer – This one have been deleted from season 2

Warrior/Berserker – “We fixed a bug which caused warriors to appear in ranked”

Daredevil – More sustain, 30% damage boost to all melee weapons on top of insta high burst and insane mobility which will result in pushing out all zerk builds out of meta once again and forcing people to run bunker if they dont want to be exploded in 2 seconds.

Revenant/Herald – Condi Mallyx build will become useless. Reaper will eat their resistance alive with no effort. Power one took huge hit as well and most likely will be replaced by a thief

Did i missed anything? Instead of actually adressing balance issues they just remove amulets and runes..seems legit.

Leeto.1570:

And my biased necro opinion is – Cool, boon corruption on autoattack, thx anet.

Sekai.2987:

imo what druids need are nerfs to their OP HoT pets, that are doing 90% of their dmg

Yeah, but even before that birds were kind of the same.

Birds are squishy at least. 5 shots and gone unlike these tanky pets.

Sekai.2987:

imo what druids need are nerfs to their OP HoT pets, that are doing 90% of their dmg

And bilion of everlasting dazes.

Um…go afk too?

Now that i look at my tooltip values between new sword and staff in wvw..i just lol.

794, 833, 937+281 sword – 2,2sec to complete chain. Total 2845 (3164 atm)
744, 859, 1,144 staff – also 2,2 sec to complete chain. Total 2747

Staff auto damage lower by about 3,5% only. Legit? Legit.

UA – 4097 after the patch. Atm 5026. In both cases it still worthless in teamfights, and in 1v1 situation it just got worse.
Surge of the Mists – 4383

In the end we are still better by spamming sword and staff auto with quickness than use UA. Precision strike assuming it even land and that no pet/something else is around it will be 3012, but im sure they nerf it into oblivion as well cus 4,5sec chill on 4cd is just broken

Staff starts to look stronger and stronger opposed to sword as dps weapon. Just sayin

Aktium.9506:

Shadowflare.2759:

Even tempests go down from focus fire very quickly.

Not the results I had when I played the meta auramancer. I rarely ever died in 2v3s/3v3 unless I ate a lot of damage trying to ress someone.

When i played war skullcrack build my job was to focus tempest. The moment where they swapped attunement 4sec stun came into their face comboed with another 3sec stun from shield bash and daze on pummel.. Usually it didnt took longer than 10sec to kill a tempest in 2v1. Cc is super effective vs them.

And yet as we see tempest got a “nerf”. Druid 0? Where is logic in that?

style.6173:

The more of these threads, the more funny I find it. Every class thinks their class will be the worst. None of you even know the full list of changes. At least know what you are talking about prior to whining.

Does warriors roll over you really that bad? Cant find any other reason why you would say that tbh.

Dont forget to delete marauder. Lets go squishy all the way. Also not sure if it was mentioned..but do you guys realize there is a special, awesom hipeo uber wow magic stat called ferocity?

The buffs are so stronk that i literally dont know what to say. When i saw cyclone axe in stream i cringed..

At the very least they could move crack shot to str adept line as there is literally nothing to choose from if you dont go for physical (read as rampage) skills.

Healing skills?
To the limit good for support shout builds..
Healing signet change? Nerf reverted, nothing else

What about mending, defiant stance, blood reckoning? Yeah w/e

And when i look at this
“Bandit’s Defense, you can now block for the full duration of 1.5s.”

I am not sure if i should laugh or cry when i look at outrage. Not much seems to be changed at all.

You made my day, sir.

Druid is fine except annoying 5sec immobilize with basically 10cd. Bristle and smokescale needs serious damage nerf. No bunker should hit as hard as zerker.

Agemnon.4608:

slip

You probably missed my comprasion but do you understand that thief sword auto damage will do more damage than rev sword in current state? If bunker meta is gone, why buff thief damage to such ridiculous level? They already have insane insta burst, now followed by insane autoattack. Good luck with that. Berk/marauder builds will be pushed away and forced to run bunker (also rev) once again due thief.

We all know mesmer will be deleted from the game once again, bunker wont mean much anymore for them, shatter will be a freekill to thief.

And the most fun fact is unlike us power revenants, s/d daredevil has amazing condition cleanse due to the trait which removed contion on evade and condition removal on sword 2. Sword also comes with boon steal so yep, i dont see a reason to even try run a glass rev over thief, even less so given the fact that thief doesnt need target to use his mobility skills.

td;dr

Power rev is gone, condi rev will be eated by necros alive. Balance achieved

Agemnon.4608:

What if there’s no real nerf in light of all those bunker amulets being removed? Yes it’s a technical nerf but maybe not one practically?

You will always have bunkers in pvp. We also still have pve and most important;

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sword

Compare rev and thief auto. Keep in mind that thief gets 30% damage boost so in fact they will higher damage from auto like current sword rev when the patch hit. Pair that with the insane burst/mobility thief has unlike rev and you can imagine where it goes.

Let me get it straight then. You nerf one class bc auto damage too strong, yet you buff other class on even higher level? Yep, nothing wrong with that, totally.

And while i could deal with the damage switch from auto..ua gets nerfed too, and the damage is moved to trash precision strike that will miss anyone witha single press of a/d..seems legit

Hexalot.8194:

I’m not getting the nerf talk on UA. They dropped 2 attacks from the 7 while buffing the remaining 5 by 5% each (dulfy has 10% ?).

Evade duration nerfed from 2 sec to 1.5sec, 2 might stack less, 20% damage nerf, ability to trigger kitten Shiro heal dropped from 4 daggers to 3.

And yet not changed to single target.

I forgot to mention that after this goes into live, smokescale ua will hit 2x harder than our own ua. 927 base damage per strike on smokescale compared to our 596 per strike depending on used rune. It feels good to be weaker than some freaking pet.

Wanna know why Shiro is superior to Jalis? I can immobilize Jalis/Glint all day long rendering you completely useless aka sitting duck. I can completely negate damage with riposting shadows that provides me endurance for another dodge for even more stab.

50% reduction doesnt make up for the ability to negate damage completely. While i evade over necro marks like a pro, you facetank it and in the long run take far more damage than me let it be from condi or power. Perma -800chill/sec is not a joke, and your only cleanse coming from Jalis heal and 50% reductiom from unreliable rite which can be interrupted and will be intterupted that you can cast only once every 15sec.

So in the end..what you gain from running Jalis over Shiro except reliable healing skill? Stunbreaks? Nope
Reliable stab? Nope
100% Damage negation? Nope
Mobility? Nope
Extremely weak to immobilize, cripple, chill? Yes
Extremely weak to condi (more than Shiro if you know how to play)? Yes
Extremely easy to focus down? Yes
Extremely easy to cc 100-0? Yes.

Please tell me more.

Seems i was right. UA butchered

Infusion.7149:

it does require Guardian to give up a core specialization

Tell that to shield, Glint and chrono.

Lets also note that outside of mesmer everyone else got buffed. Rev nerfs+everyone else buffed around?

Like superior boon corruption for necro? Diamond skin wiping 1 condi/sec (rev has no coverage with trash condi). As condi rev you cant really fight these classes anymore, you be destroyed and teabagged. Our only option vs condi that is resistance is gone basically.

Power damage? Thief will superior and the one that can actually focus and single out targets in teamfights, unlike rev that gets weaker the moment someone show up so i dont see a reason to take rev over thief now. Also worth of a note that thief already counter rev.

See you in season 3, maybe

hammer 2 nerf

I wont be fine with the nerf as there is no reason to.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/True_Shot
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Coalescence_of_Ruin

Compare base damage and scaling. CoR comes out as junk, sure it has 2cd but its limited by range and is unreliable due to terrain issues. It miss even on flat terrain after all along with tracking issues.

So why noone complains about true shot as well? It hits up to 5 too with low cd. Also most people that complains about CoR runs pure zerk spamming 1. They dont know how to position themself whatsoever so instead picking up something tankier they go yolo, there is no hell.

Got a nice example of squishies that coming to forum daily just to cry about CoR in one damage log. In this case damage is okay too as it doesnt say ruins right? I dont even run full zerk on my guard but a mix of ptv+zerk and traver runes and the damage was done with 2 might max, 0 vul on targets. One can imagine how much it would be with pure zerk and 25 might stacks along with maxed out traits for dps, not survival.

Both skills are projectiles so you can’t really use that skill in any real fight because there is always wall of reflection and when you go 1200 range reves put some CoR can you die.

So..make CoR a projectile and be done with it? Played sometimes with hammer in spvp even tho i hardly used it but now its just deleted in my eyes. This weapon has no damage whatsoever.

Lets break the “balance”

• Sword autoattack damage going down 10%ish. First auto attack gone down by 10%, 2nd autoattack gone down by 20%, third autoattack down by 10%.

Okay, seems deserved as i melded glass people with auto+quickness in seconds but!!!

• Precision Strike – now always launch 3 projectiles regardless of how many targets. Reduced the chill duration from 2s to 1.5s per projectile

Noone care, it remain a trash skill due to it projectile nature with speed of a turtle. On top of that cus of damage nerfs on auto we are even weaker vs “pet” classes and in teamfights half of the damage will go towards random trash. Wanna bet it will be nerfed soontm?

• Unrelenting Assault. Reduced the number of strikes from 7 to 5. Increased the damage of each strike by 5%

Yay for the nerfs, my surge feels so kitten strong now. With the changes done to UA it should become single target ability. But yeah, lets turn this skill into a joke, why not.

Overall changes to sword are terrible, basically just damage nerf with no compensation and it doesnt seems to have anything with “singling out enemies”. With a hope that it will become a 1v1 weapon i got back something that becomes a pure joke the moment +1/pet show up. Seems legit. Bravo guys, bravo

• Facet of Light – Initial activation will now have a cast time. You can no longer use it while being stunned/launched etc

Lmao. Watch it guys. Already easily countered skill gets even more of a nerf. Is there any reason for it whatsoever?

• Coalescence of Ruin – It had too low cooldown. Cooldown gone from 2s to 4s. It will longer double hit.

Rip spvp 4ever. Hammer turned into complete garbage weapon and had been hurted badly in pve as well. Can i get my new ranged weapon now? Like you know..dh lb? I dont want to use this trash hammer anymore. A nerf without compensation at all.

Range penalty, energy cost, cd increased by 100%, still unreliable due to terrain.

Jalis? Ventari? Mallyx+Corruption changes? Shiro healing reworked? Sword offhand? Staff tweaking? Hammer buff to drop the hammer? All the kitten useless traits?

Keep up the good work, ladies. Meanwhile;

Autoattack damage for sword not changed but the frequency has increased. Damage increased by about 30%.

Hail new king of dps, thief sword hands down.

Rym.1469:

Precision Strike 1v1 will be now super scary. Over 100% Chill uptime.

So you think Mesmer is fine in its current state where it causes a meta that forces matches where neither team can even gain any points at all for up to several minutes? A class and build that causes teams to rage quit from tournaments with actual prizes? Or the fact that Well of Precog utterly breaks Stronghold mechanics?

Yeah no, Mesmer isn’t fine. There’s a bunch of things wrong with PvP at the moment and Mesmer has plunked its bottom down at the top of the list.

Top of the list? No. But yes, res mechanics were broken (not Chrono’s fault), Chrono bunker is a tough nut (but hardly the toughest), and the problems in PvP are many.

Top of the list is Bunker Tempest, hands down.

Hooray for everything getting getting nerfed!

Oh and Ithilwen, now is not the time to say you were finally getting success on Mesmer after 4 years, even if it is true. -_-u

Anyone fight legit through legendary should notice that how broken Revenant and Chrono is. People who still fail to see it either are the abuser themselves and try to play victim, or complete scrubs who barely pvp.

Could say the same about druid and scrapper as well.

Druid is horrible in team fight if the opponent is half decent (extremely vulnerable to stunlock/CC when elite is not up). They have limited stunbreak, unlike Revenant and Mesmer which has TONS of it.
Druid doesn’t has portal.
Druid cleanse is unreliable (2 sec delay on every supposedly cleanse skill)

Druid doesn’t even come close to Revenant and Mesmer atm, especially after bejillion nerfs already. (Mesmer got nerfed ONE time, Druid alrdy got nerfed 5 times post HoT launch). If they’re any closer to Mesmer, top team would have use 2 of them instead of 2 Mesmers already.

Stop lying and face the truth. Mesmer and Revenant are by far the strongest classes in this game atm by MILES.

Who has the most broken 1v1 build in entire game? Ability to bunker yet deal zerk damage and be braindead like old turret engis? Thats right, druid. You send druid far at beginning of the match and he pretyt much prevents the cap, send someone from mid to 2v1 and sure..but then mid is lost gg wp

Well, you leave your double mesm at mid so they can hold vs everything ez pz and your revenant swiftly rotates to close in order to destroy the ranger with condis

Thats organized teams tho. In soloQ i dont have that luxury, even less so if i happen to end up with a warrior…. XD

It may not be as abd as it sounds. For now i only hope that they rework Shiro healing cus its really terrible. Gonna bumb my thread about it and zzz time.

If history has taught us anything, Anet does not know how to balance anything ‘slightly’. They will either tweak something so it makes no difference, or they will sledge hammer it into oblivion, rendering the skill completely unusable.

Reading between the lines, the Thief will be the new WvW/Spvp FoTSeason class. Increasing their damage and not touching the stealth mechanics so squishes get one shot from stealth..Fun times… My only concern is the fact we will have to live with any crap changes for 4-6 months at least.

I dont think the nerf will be more than 10% tbh. They also have to keep in mind that sword is the only dps weapon we have. We also dont have any condi removal nor reliable healing outside shield 5 whatsoever so evades and damage output is our only defense. For me it seems like they want to put sword more as burst weapon rather than sustained dps.

We will see in 24h. Im not sure if that aa nerf makes any sense tho.. i dont feel lke my aa on sword rev is all that much higher than gs/sword guard aa for example. Someone willing to make some calculations? ;o

The dragonhunter elite specialization has proven to have a very solid impact in many areas of the game……

WUT ????

Are you serious ?
Which areas ? Puzzle jump ? Trading ?

Go back to your cave, Dragonhunter as been used (and dominating) in SPVP at least since HoT launch even with the nerfs it got.

I am affraid you are complete ignorant at best. Currently there are three professions not played at all in tournaments: warriors,thieves and guardians.
Of course you are maybe talking about low level pvp..but here dominating is possible with everything.
Maybe it is time for you to go out of your cave and see real world.

Sorry, which tournaments? Official ESL and so on? Who cares about it?

I enjoy dh on enemy team.. dat freekills. Dh is only a problem in low level pvp.
