guardian runes :P ????
when people realize how good they are even on bunker builds people will start crying for nerfs.
Do guardian runes have an internal cooldown on the burn on block? Because if there is no CD then its awesome. If it has a CD then not sure I would give up movement speed for that.

I use GS Mace/Shield and the amount of CC I have means they cant really kill me. Granted a decent thief will reset fights when they are low which is why I don’t really waste my time fighting them. I usually keep running in the direction I was going anyway and swat at the thief like its a fly. Basically turning around every so often to bash them with my shield or mace.
The thief will give up or I end up near my tower/keep so they have to engage the NPC.
short story thieves are annoying flies that shouldn’t be able to kill you and you wont kill a good thief unless he wants to go toe to toe or you get a really good stun rotation on him. (this is using GS/M/Shield. I don’t know about rifle.)
Edit: taunt GM trait works against them but I never use that unless im dueling a thief. I prefer Eternal Champion most of the time for regular play.

i expect burn guardian …. It will be a bit like meditraper stomping lower levels. Could be devastating against all classes that can´t cleanse condies constantly.
A guard cant have invis and traveler runes at the same time so not a guard.

Now we find out who’s playing rev for the class and who’s playing it to be op.
Just like how we saw who continued Ele (after the D/D cele nerf) because they liked the class and not because it was OP. Also who continued to play Necro after the nerfs.
Its the same for every single Flavor of the Month class. There will always be some who like playing the class, but also a ton of players who are playing just because its OP/high reward low risk.

Warriors without AH were literally trash in Season 1 and 2. Like literally if you had a War in your team you were 90% guarantee loss. It already heals for 10% less in PvP. And its not like Warriors are everywhere in PvP owning players.
Maybe they could change the duration from 15s to 10s. But changes need to be done slowly or they will be trash again real quick.
In WvW everything is different since you have access to diff runes/sigils/armor stats. Which can make a war tankier anyway.

Maybe this isn’t a nerf to revenant, its a nerf to skill and skilled players?
If revenant is seen as the tricky class to master and effective in the hands of a good player, perhaps this is an attempt to prune off the best players and make a level playing field for casual pvp?

Yes passive burn proc is now 4 sec instead of 2s without burn duration. Take the new amulet and Balthazar Runes plus smoldering sigil and/or Radiance line and you can probably get 100% burn duration increase . Not that i recommend that but its just a thought. I like the idea of core burn guard with supreme justice now for more aoe burn procs.

Wow so you accept that Revs are indeed hard to master but yet you butcher them with massive damage nerfs… 33% – 50% damage reductions is kittening huge what the kitten… and once again higher CDs while having energy costs as well……………….
Exactly! they are hard to master and so now with the nerfs to damage why would anyone want to play it? Why not take an easy to play class like druid or DH?

RIP Power Rev…..Mallyx change good tho.
remove of Daze from traps is a big nerf. No more interrupts. I suppose slow fits in with the DH having poor mobility so helps to stay on target.
I guess Condi builds on the rise again. Burn Guard and Condi Rev.
Like there weren’t enough condi druids , necros, mesmers, engis, thieves , warriors ..
yup….i mean doubling passive burn duration and nerfing traps….makes we want to just use purging flames, smite condition, judges intervention on a burn build with the new deadshot amulet. (supreme justice for the aoe passive burn procs in team fights)

Meta DH’s aren’t going to post PVP pwnage vids on youtube. Why? because they don’t want the nerf. That’s why they keep saying its “balanced” so they can get a free pass for another season.

You want a competitive Team Q but unfortunately mixing solo players against premades is absolutely not competitive. I voted for Solo/Duo Q but I also wanted a separate TeamQ for premades.
As been said before anyone who bemoans losing the ability to queue as a team against solo queuers in ranked is basically just upset because they cant farm pug soloers. (Not saying the OP since he said he wants “competitive”).
TL;DR we really need separate Solo/Duo Q and Team Q In ranked.

Is class stacking really that bad ?
Role stacking can be a problem but class stacking ? In a normal situation class = role. But in a class stacking situation you just need to change build or re-roll.
Because in this wonderful state of game we are in where build diversity is practically zero, anytime you see a class you are 90% sure of the exact build that person is using. Sure there are some niche builds out there and surprise factor can help but lets not kid ourselves, most build have MUST HAVE traits and traitlines. Most people will just tweak a sigil or rune.
Class stacking is a major problem which is why it was removed from ESL.

The two classes targeted the most are Necro first then Rev. So unless you have someone babysitting you or you are really really good I don’t recommend Necro/Rev for solo q.

1) There will be the expected periodic balance updates, but I cannot speak to the extend of them.
2) Class stacking has not been a priority because of the leagues rework, and negative feedback regarding character locking when queuing. This might be something worth polling.I am honestly shocked that class stacking is not a priority. Literally. No words.
Maybe cause u can reroll?
Well obviously any fix to class stacking requires the prevention of rerolling. This has been discussed to death and a ton of bad matchmaking would be fixed if class stacking was not allowed.

Could you guys PLEASE stop putting exclusive skins behind PvP. It is really onerous for us players that would prefer to not PvP. I don’t know how difficult it will be to acquire these new skins or if I’d even really want them, but I don’t want to go through the hell of earning The Ascension again. Please just let players who don’t want to PvP, not play PvP, without missing out on cool stuff.
Why is there no way to earn legendary in PvP? If youre a top tier player.
Ascended is absolutely USELESS for pvpers, but legendary are cool effects, why can’t a pvp player earn it for being one of the best?

I rely on premades to progress
Look, there was a poll and the community voted. Maybe you and your friends you q with should’ve made your opinions valid when it counted; literally counted. I’m happy premades won’t be a thing anymore. A very significant portion of those in diamond and legendary were carried there by pre-mades. If they are truely skilled, this q restriction changes nothing for them. I find that most players complaining about not being about to q with teams completely rely on premades to even be relevant in pvp. Sad, but comical.
Sad but I think there is a lot of truth in the above.

I agree with Macon, I am a PVE player. Am trying to make Bolt and now am being punished and condemned to WvW in order to finish it. Every time I get into WvW either there are no CMDR tags or the ones I group up with seem to think being out numbered 3 to 1 are good odds. Last weekend I spent several hours and managed to get about 1k exp towards the 20k needed. at this rate it’ll take several months worth of weekends to get it. Please, please, PLEASE go back to beeing able to buy it with the commendation things. I don’t like WvW, what did I do to deserve this punishment? : )
My version
I am a PVP/WvW player. Am trying to make a legendary and now am being punished and condemned to PVE in order to finish it. Every time I get into PVE to do map completion either I get so bored I fall asleep or get so mad with some of the vista/puzzles I throw my laptop against the wall. Last weekend I spent several hours and managed to get a few hearts needed because I fell asleep after 10 min. At this rate it’ll take several months worth of weekends to get my map completion. Please, please, PLEASE let us get map completion using reward tracks in PVP/WVW. I don’t like PVE map completion, what did I do to deserve this punishment? : )

if the team lost mid fight in 5 secs its reasonable to afk since the match will just be a blow out anyway. its better to go afk and wait for a balanced match instead.

Sry people DH trappers didn’t changed their build …i don’t know almost year and conclusion here is that people learned nothing? Wanna insta fix? Give ele’s proper amulet and we will make them almost extinct like in season 2,3.
Sure and then we will a billion “nerf ele” threads like we did in S 2,3. Not sure swapping out one class for another class is the right way. Although I understand why you would say that if your main was Ele.
Still believe the best way is to remove class stacking. I have no issues fighting 1 DH. its the stacked that is a problem but that’s kinda the same for all classes.
Sorry it’s to easy to kill DH to justify 30-40 min long ques… just because people refuse to learn something about 1 year old, slow, predictable build that users tend suicide to reflects and mechanics that fail against minions., clones, pet AI and DODGE.
What? I was referring to your request for a proper amulet for Ele. I know how to fight a DH thanks . Guardian was my first class.

Peoples also don’t like stacked thieves. Stacked thieves = lose match usually but not always.
Stacked thieves means a lost match but for reasons other than you might think.
Last night I was on a team with 2 thieves, 1 necro and a druid. Vs 2 DH, 2 Ele and Mesmer.
The Necro went afk the first minute of the game because (and I quote) “wtf thieves if you don’t swap im gonna afk”
smh. I’d rather have 3 thieves than 1 AFKer.

I like Zodins videos and have watched pretty much all of them over the last couple years. He is very good. The latest video was the first he made using durability runes. I think that’s a bold choice because Guardians already have poor mobility and disengage skills. If you are a roamer and see a zerg approaching it will be a lot harder to get out of the way without traveler runes.
I think for your average skilled player traveler runes are still the better choice.

Ugh. Guild leader wants me to run FULL Soldiers shout meta. How boring.
Which is why I haven’t joined any of the bigger wvw guilds yet. I have no interest in running boring builds. I spend my time in WvW roaming solo or in pairs. Sometimes meeting up with other roamers or joining a pug zerg to pick off enemy stragglers.
I play this game for fun and don’t mind making some adjustments but don’t want to completely change my build/playstyle if its gonna make me bored.

I like the proposals..
Can I make an alternative suggestion?
I propose that whenever you clear a condition you cannot be affected by the same condition (from any enemy) for 3 seconds. (the condition will not be applied to you). This will stop you from using your condi clear only to be spammed with condi again and will make the condi players think about what he’s doing and also try and bait your condi clears early.
Eg. I get hit by torment and I use my clear. No enemy can apply confusion on me for 3 sec. Other condi will still work.
This rule will apply whether you clear your condi yourself or an ally clears the condi for you.

It should be balanced around ESL BUT ranked pvp should have similar rules like no stacking. IMO the no stacking rule in ESL whereas you can stack in Ranked Q is probably the biggest cause of balance issues and QQ currently.
