If you try to join some meta squads with non-meta builds then it's on you. but you forgot that nowadays every squad is a wannabe-meta-squad. If it isnt meta ,its useless. If you havent experienced anything like this so far, then you are a lucky one. Im experiencing in **atleast** 3/5 groups

how about we nerf all classes so much that all are equally bad (0 damage) than nobody would complain about any op classes anymore

Sorry, but I mistook Whole PVE content (including raids, fracs and dungeons) vs OpenWorld PVE (including Champs and Bounty). Openworld isnt everything in this game. Fracs, raids etc are interesting too and maybe wanted to be tried/played by some players. But they will have a hard time being accepted if they enjoy playing herald (not renegade)

In terms of raids ,fracs, even dungeons herald arent even taken into groups often ,simple cuz of them being counted as a joke due to bad support and dmg

Its extremely easy to see. You can even see if the passive facet is already prepared for a heal. Blocks (like Aegis) lowers healing you get. Resistance completely remove the healing you would get from conditions. Poison even lowers the incoming healing.

Imo the Shiro-Abilities could use a slight buff too in PvE. I mean the damage of phase traversal, enchanted daggers and jade winds ,even impossible odds. If there is a battle that has at least 50% of the fight more than 1 target, then shiro does less damage with Impossible odds than Jalis with the hammers. Imp.Odds is even a "one target only" skill, that isnt that much better than the aoe-vengeful hammers, if theres only 1 enemy involved. Enchanted daggers is mediocre healing and not really good damage. And Phase Traversal&Jade winds are both Energy-Pool blowing skills. Outside of pvp/wvw, not really useful

Time for the Tormenting Rune!

What makes burnguards strong? Bad groups that completely stack on the same spot, so all can be hit with the same symbol.

So i guess nerf it more?

> @"lombomon.7268" said: > **Herald** > Elevated Compassion: Slightly increase healing (~10%) thats one of the points im waiting for a long time right now, even though it deserves a bit more than just 10% bonus to compete with the other 2 options. Its one of the only traits that give Herald access to healing while being inside glint. One of the only ways to make herald become a viable healer again. (in +10man squads at least)

"Spherified Peppercorn-Spiced Oyster Soup" would simply be my choice in ascended feasts. It gives the most stats out of every ascended feast. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Spherified_Peppercorn-Spiced_Oyster_Soup

thats a good way to make every revenant unplayable and total garbage in Spvp. its not even in the greatest spot right now, so balancing isnt necessary at all.

lets get to the point again. Im up for every thinkable way of buffing shield :bleep_bloop:

well i had quite a few rounds that had 3necros in the enemy team (or more than 3) Scourges are ok. Reapers are borderline, but still managable Core Necros have too much Shroud regeneration / too low shroud cooldown. They use shroud until its empty, If they reach 66% health, the shroud is completely full again. If shroud is empty, necros are fully healed again. Is handles condis very well and power got nerfed, so there are no real threats to it anymore.

> @"Dadnir.5038" said: > I'd say Herald just lack a source of regen for when he is not using the legendary dragon stance. How about adding 4-5s of regen on _envoy of exuberance_? yes please. It could even heal a bit or pulse boons on Shield 5 ,with an extra trait maybe or smth else

i would maybe try to make a ticket for the account name ^^

Thief with its stealth & ports need the pvp-treatment. Its perfectly fine. Or they need to rework "revealed" completely & make it not being cleansed by deadeye

There isn't a requirement it needs to. Especs are a thematic deviation to give variety in play. It's not necessary that all especs are viable in every game mode, especially if that isn't their intent. > > > > herald struggles to compete with every other spec in the game in PvE.

Herald getting a raid group is a function of how you play, not how the class works. > > I mean, don't even GO to the place where you argue Herald isn't meta so it needs a buff ... because that's a non-starter. its not like talking about meta or something. but if players enjoy playing herald (NOT RENEGADE) ,and wanna go into other pve stuff ,like raid ,fractals, strikes ,DRMS or whatsoever and arent simply taken into a group cuz of playing "herald" ,which is still counted as a joke by a big part of the community due to the lack of *look below*, then its a problem,no? Its struggeling to compete with other classes in player-limited pve content. It has bad damage to be a Dps class, not enough support to be a healer or boon-class, etc. while there are other classes with higher damage, better support and even easier to play (rotation wise). Nobody talked about Renegade. These posts arent related to renegade in any way. It a post about "Revenant/Herald" ,no mentioning renegade.

Some that increases the herald-performance in a group, but not on its own._ > > It only "definitely needs a stronger class-specific group buff" if we assume every single espec of every class needs to have one for some reason, which is just not the case. So it doesn't need one, you can just pick ren for your "unique group buff" in the form of alacrity and you're good to go if that's what you're aiming for with reventant. Overally this is something that seems to be already covered for this class. I don't understand by what logic an espec needs to spawn an espec-unique group buff all of the sudden. You already had an discussion about this. If you completely remove chronomancer, then renegade would have an unique buff "alacrity", but this isnt the case. Also whatever may be, herald with its boons is just something that is spread over many classes anyway, so nothing good. its already provided by anything else. (druid, firebrand, tempest, renegade etc.) herald already has an Special buff, Facet of nature, its just terrible. Heralds support isnt great, its damage is even worse. A buff to the "Facet of Nature" is a way to buff support & damage indirectly at the same time ,without making herald on his own noticeably better.
