Before everyone cries about how wrong I am I would like to make a few points.
Guild Wars 2 has too much dodging, too much boon spam, too much automatic condition removal, too much conditions, too much damage.
1. Now all of these are basically related, dodges basically need to be spammed because
A) You will always dodge something if you dodge because every class currently can just spam every single skill with 0 diminishing returns
B) There is no reason to save your dodges when you have permanent vigor, a full endurance bar on weapon swap + passive endurance regen
C)Traits that rewards dodging (protection on dodge etc, please change these traits to get protection IF you evade something etc or remove all together)
D) Some classes can spam evade frames with absolutely no diminishing returns making it optimal to spam your evades opposed to using them intelligently.
2. Boons are way too accessible have no rewarding play
A) Every class can basically get every boon through passive traits
B) No one uses boons on reaction because it’s pretty much all passive
C) Like dodges, people spam these because they are so accessible.
3. Too much condition removal = too much condition spam
Nerf condition “bombing” and condition removal together. Conditions should be damage OVER TIME, not nuke someones health in 5 seconds while they are unable to do anything about it. Condition application should be paced like scepter 1 on necro, but for that to have any impact on someones health, condition removal has to be heavily nerfed as well. Anyone playing a condition spec should have to work for their condi stacks, not stack every single condition with high stacks in 3 seconds.
4. Too much damage in the game (Bad type of damage)
Do you guys remember the old days of QZ + bulls rush + hundred blades + whirlwind days? That is what high damage builds should be in this game if someone decides to run it. High reward, high risk. Instant “unavoidable” burst damage should not exist in any game, it’s not fun for anyone.
5. The only thing GW2 has too LITTLE of is highly telegraphed skills. This also relates to “instant burst”. High damage skills should be HIGHLY animated like eviscerate, killshot, burning speed, churning earth etc. If you nerf spammy dodging and blind spam you would actually have to watch for these and dodge them accordingly because you know it will hurt. Instead we just spam all our dodges whenever we want, spam our condis because we know it will recharge when we need it anyways.
