Wheres the balance changes?
Next update.
Why and when exaclty?Y sure, it hasnt been very long since we experience a balance patch….Sarcasm
Balance after pax. O wait sorry they meant after mlg. O wait sorry they mean balance changes after the patch after mlg
It’s either
a) invisible balance patch
b) balance after pax next year
Anet wouldn’t lie to its playerbase
Pretty good to see a generally even split among most classes (except Ele ofc). Mesmer representation was a little low but I think its going to swing back over the next few tournies
Does anet pay you? Wake up, gw2 is among the most unbalanced AAA PvP games
Both eles and mesmers are experiencing a similar difficulty in this meta, its impossible (at least i cant find any way) to build them offensively and still be able to have enough survivability, both against conditions and stun+dps.
If you fight against a warrior, you’ll definitely need 2 breakstuns to survive (note…. to survive, not necessarily to win), and then a condition removal is a must… but just one utility slotted to remove conditions cant really get it done, the amount of condition applied is way higher than a single CD.
Thats why warriors rock in the current meta…. they got almost everything. Once they put cleansing ire and berserker stance they can remove/prevent conditions while playing offensively.
To make mesmers a little closer to what warriors are now we should have shattered conditions moved down from grand master tier, to the same trait tier where cleansing ire is….. Master.
But personally i dont think its a good solution, actually i dont think there is a good solution, i think there should be just one source of dps: direct damage; conditions should only give pressure to the opponent team, reducing heals with poison, crippling, chilling, its surely wrong for them to be a different kind of burst.The old style holy trinity was : tank – heal – dps
The trinity that GW2 should have : support – pressure/control – dps
The trinity GW2 really has: dps – condition dps – guardiansI definitely went off topic but well, its all connected.
Dont talk about “this meta”. It’s not a meta anymore, it’s just random overpowered stupid builds
It’s funny because the class which was balanced (ele) is not playable anymore!!
And then, the classes that were made viable are insanely OP!
I love this balance team so much ;D;D;D;D;D;;DD
I can’t wait october 15th. What can they break this time??
The recharge for unsteady ground will stay the same or about the same as it is currently. Also there are a few other nice staff changes coming in that patch as well. =)
The unsteady ground change is a good start. But do you guys realize that Ele HP/heals/damage is too low compared with other classes? For example, if you fight a warrior as an ele (balanced, standard build) you’ll have these problems:
1) Your damage is not high enough. The warrior’s hp doesnt go down.
2) Your Hp is too low (warrior can kill you in 1 stun)
So even if you greatly outplay them, you still can’t kill a warrior.
(Ofc you can give up every stat for damage, but even then the result is still weak vs all classes).
No one plays gw2 anymore, so they buff AI builds so the mists look crowded.
#GW2Fact
Henry, i’ve been reading your posts for months and you usually bring really good points.
However it’s a loss of time. Anet/Ncsoft don’t care about pvp, and players should do the same. Don’t waste your time here, GW2 is a lost cause.
Just move on, there are other games!
this is actually a pretty decent spread… granted eles are not even visable and mesmers are alittle lower BUT there is no proffesion wich is really over presented! and all in all a pretty okay spread!
Because there isnt any competition in the game and the population is very low, but certain classes are way stronger than the others.
Definitely shocked to see Mesmer that low, everything else looks pretty standard
Yep. 0 eles pretty standard.
Seeing any would have surprised me.
