And as I said thief can’t do the same job rev did:
1: they can’t stick that well to an ele as a rev ( due to dying to aoe cleave).
2: thieves are rarely in big teamfights to begin with (in contrast to ele).
And yes reaper but ele can go alot more anti-condi now, which is the issue i adressed.
So my biggest concern with nerfing rev is the following:
So first of all let’s be honest ele is pretty dam strong atm, not taking an ele in your team is basically not even considered. An ele had to choose between different traits according to matchups making it weak against some things and strong against other things. But if you nerf rev thus letting ele just take diamond skin, what will kill ele?
thief? It’s not even sure if thief will be meta but if it is, a thief can’t stick to an ele as a rev and simply can’t afford it as they die to aoe cleave.
guard? With the amount of projectile hate from the ele itself and other classes ( scrapper), it’s quite hard for the guard to kill the ele or other targets in teamfights.
I think this will result in ele being over the top and simply not dying in teamfights as they can just fully spec against condi builds thus making the teamfights last much longer as the ele heals not only himself but obviously heals his allies by a large amount.
blindbug : when you’re blinded and use your utility skill of grenade kit ( grenade barrage), there is a (+/-) 75% chance all your nades will miss and you will not have removed the blind at the end of the skill. I’m pretty sure this is a bug because a blind always made you miss one nade and let the rest hit ( since it is mutiple hits).
this is as old as i can remember and i can remember back to near launch
the exact repro of this is:
standard grenades (nades 1, barrage) do not remove blind unless the projectile hits a target. if the aoe from a grenades hits the target, blind is not removed and it registers a miss. if the grenade projectile hits the target, blind is removed and it registers a miss.
the easiest workaround is to use nades 2/3/4/5 or some other skill, because all of the other nades that come with an extra condition natively dont suffer from the issue of their explosions not removing blind.
This isn’t really a solution because if you want to do a pull – grenade barrage combo and get blinded when you pulled your target you can’t just throw normal nades to remove the blind and then grenade barrage. There are a lot of “random” blinds in this game mostly from ele ( when you get burned by an ele you get blinded) so this solution isn’t all that great.

pullbug : do i even have to explain? This bug has been in the game forever and it seems it will be continue to do so.
So rangers entangle still removes 4 condis instead of 2 when traited with " survival of the fittest." And entangle removes 0 condis when not traited with the trait. This means it is bugged and it has been like this for a while now.
Updated OP RESOLUTION
A variation of this method had resolved issues in the past with the old TP, but it appears it helps resolve the issues with the new TP/launcher and crashing.
If you are still experiencing the issues with your launcher/patcher and CoherentUI_Host.exe with crashing:
Disable any proxy settings + Uncheck Auto-Detect Settings
Check your Start Menu > Control Panel > Internet Options > Connection settings and make sure to disable any Proxy Setting that may be enabled there. Proxy Check/Disable
In your Windows Control Panel via your Start Menu:
Choose to view as icons instead of as categories in the top right.
Open Internet Options
Click on the Connections tab
At the very bottom click on LAN Settings
Uncheck/untick the Automatically Detect Settings box
Make sure the lower Proxy Server boxes are unchecked
NOTE 1
If your “Automatically Detect Settings” checkbox was already unchecked
Check (enable) that setting and hit ‘Apply’
Uncheck (disable) that setting and hit ‘Apply’
NOTE 2
If you were previously using the “-nopatchui -email -pw” shortcut command line argument to enter the game, you will need to remove that work around for any other resolutions to be viable.
-old OP-
Immediately upon patching I find a new “bin” folder is created in my GW2 installation folder.
Within this folder are several dlls and a new executable.
(Shouldn’t these files be within the dat file or in the gw2-cache folder and not inside the installation folder?)
Immediately upon patching this executable is requesting firewall permission.
The patch is continuing to download properly despite my not permitting this new executable to connect to the net.
Why is this new file demanding access to the net while I am trying to patch?
Why should this UI system require access to the net, let alone when I am not in-game?
Hey there, you probably dont know me but i shall not care. I would like to give my opinion to the devs of this magnificant game. Quick little question when will you guys fix this game? Next year? Woot ! HYPE- TRAIN!!!!!! Or should i wait to the next livestream where everything shall be answered so nicely. First off all pls play the game first before you actually try to fix this game ( cough Ellie.) I just dont understand why you ignore all this negativity you guys get in the stream,forums,etc…. So when a person asks the devs a question you ban them? mutiple times?! Ow well i guess i should wait until next livestream/balance patch then everything will be solved/fixed. WOOT HYPE!!!!!
