I agree, I doubt it be very often ud face 1 of the probable 10 really good revs in the game let alone 5 of em. Bad revs are easy foods num num lol.

As far as DE maybe not silent scopes precision but it would be smart to remove stealth on dodge, along with kneel lol.

Let's aim for good and start from there, superior performance is setting bar high, u know the dev right?

Yeah just gotta stomach the gcd unti higher lvs which is when combat becomes somewhat bearable, so slow at the start.

PI definitely needs buffed, it was already so nerfed had the skipped it during the blanket patch it may have just made it to worth using state but this is anet so nope...

I mean even if skill hit for 1k and procc'd one extra 1k hit if interrupting a skill it would actually be worth using, right now it's a useless trait.

Have it live up to its name, skill hits for 1k and if interrupts deals no further damage but every 1.5 sec causes a 1/4 daze on target for 6 secs. Daze effect has 10 sec icd.

Unfortunately like many very poor decision that somehow made it to fruition anet rarely walks back badly implemented changes.

I'd rather drop a choking gas and know I decreased the rez speed then have ammo for cluster bombing/kiting without daze, than have a choking gas with daze, drop it on someone rezzing who has stability and then basically be useless while I watch them rez because I needed to port someplace safe to clusterbomb.

Exactly! Slowing a rez thru poison is strong enough imo and drop gas to 4-5 ini so u can actually benefit from the ini design as intended.

Have no clue what this new team is doing.

I tried p/d DA/TR 123/DD 222 OR 221 with carrion and Krait runes eith venom and bleed sigil and seemed decent with venom utility,BP and basilisk.

Just so used to dash I guess. Is SA that much better than DD for condi p/d?

I'd rather lower ini on gas and remove daze if necessary or put a 5 sec icd on the daze.

Again not about using gas twice but the impact 7 ini cost on flexibility of using a different skill afterwards, how u like if a war skill put half ur weapon skills on CD for 2 secs not allowing u to use any skills? Sure ud think that's fine.

> @"Lighter.5631" said:

It's not about spamming skills it's about using so much of a global resource in one skill without preparedness from trickery that one skill can deny u of any skill that costs 6 ini. Imagine not even being able to cast 2 consecutive skills cuz costs for skills are to high, that's reality in some scenarios currently which is absurd to say the least. As a warrior main I'm sure u think its fine lol.

> EXACTLY! Condi aoe is such a weird stuff, why this exists anyways? In all the games that I played before, an aoe skill do a way less damage than a single target one, here is the opposity, if your class do aoe, go for it, cause you will do more individual damage and hits everybody, LOL

Imagine being a player new to pvp, learning about conquest and when they go near a node it's like a mini zerg fight where whole node is constantly covered with floor is lava death lol. Must be fun for em.

> @"Sobx.1758" said:

> Kind of feels like it's their shortcut to make particular skills have cooldown without actually having one. Which in this case sucks, because due to ini it's pretty much a global skill cooldown. I'd rather have them just add an actual cooldown on SOME skills reventant-style, so they won't be spammable (like they apparently don't want them to be), while at the same time not crippling the usage of the rest of thief's kit. Leave the previous ini cost, but add a cooldown on the skills they don't want to be spammed.

Or put a icd on some effects that are two strong like a 5 sec icd on gas daze and keep the cost reasonable.

On the other hand if team fights were more than just braindead condi spam on nodes more people would probably go for team fighting.

Honestly shave the damage off the 1 or 2 damaging skills and add it to another so instead of thief having 1 or 2 max skills used frequently and 2 skills used in niche situations as utility they can at least use 3 skills frequently and just have one skill only used sometimes. This would decrease the spammy nature of thief.

> @"Leonidrex.5649" said:

> at this point spamming 1 strongest ability is thiefs identity

Not 100% accurate though sometimes its 2 lol

Well blanket nerfing only works if u commit more than talk to fine tuning and adjusting things continually at a decent pace which rarely happens so most times doing so is a disaster. They should fixed and reworked the classes that were causing the most significant issues but that takes more time and resources to accomplish than just decreasing numbers in a blanket approach so..

> Not like I'm in high ranks D:

Just stating why u see so much condi rev hate compared to power, it's easier to play, more frustrating to die to and prob seems oppressive in lower ranks. Wasn't a knock on u personally as I'd have been knocking myself as I'm usually only g3 solo q so im no great player.

> @"Rix.8510" said:

> As someone who didn't like ranger mechanics from the start and how absurd the position of the class in the meta game was, I must say that the current situation is quite worrying with the nerfs ranger has already gotten. If you want to rework pets overall DPS then the ranger itself needs to be upgraded. GS4 was clearly overpowered and instead of tackling that issue the answer was to increase the CD on all GS skills. Why? LOL.

So what needs upgraded if pet dps is nerfed? I love ranger so I'm interested in what can be buffed. Taking pet out of the equation rangers gs does very good dps as does lb. Rangers can be built squishy or very tanky. They have very potent condi options. I'd say if pet damage on bird was brought down with tiger the class should be pretty in line and would have been in a position where it may not get so much heat from players. Then maybe druid and its spirits could maybe see some love, specs such a waste of a good theme.

Honestly ranger was fine other than few pets hitting to hard, why they didn't leave ranger itself alone and just deal with pets is beyond me. Hopefully we won't see anymore nerfs anytime soon.

> Condi herald is bad idk why everybody is complaining about them. If anything is too strong on revenant, it's power herald on a decent player's hands.

Because lower ranks a okish rev can destroy on condi rev but will get destroyed on power rev, higher lvs like plat the may be opposite but more players are gold/silver so u hear a lot about condi builds, especially with burning as part of their stacks cuz its tic dos is overperforming.

That's the issue with thiefs design as said above all of the classes weapon kits are designed around having 1 or 2 damage skills and 2 or 3 utility skills so to do damage ur forced to use the same 1 or 2 skills over and over. No ones gonna use d4,d5,HS or BP for damage so with s/d uve got sw2 and sw3 with some autos. Dp u got d2 and if enemies low on health HrtS with backstabs. All thiefs kits are like this unfortunately, bad design at best.

Double dag condo is a really fun build with traps and trap runs, bleeds and poison for days. D3 stacks bleeds really well and poison arrow with quick draw is good stuff :)

This^ this is why by 2021 pvp wont even have the population it has now. As much as the players praise this new team thier not very good imo, subjective of course but if ur balancing around the bias gbage posted in most post ur games gonna be dumpstered fast. Doing so shows they dont play the game or understand it enough to have the confidence to make their own informed decisions, were the players not the professionals who are supposed to balance the game and get paid doing as such.
