Ranger are amazing everywhere.
Except for Zerging.
If ranger had a non projectile AoE weapon, they would even be amazing in zerging.

Rage Skills should decrease the cooldown of berserk while not in B-Form and increase duration in B-Form.

Thats a discusion without end.
Both E-Specs took a hit from the nerf bat.
That both sides are not happy is understandable.
And the berserker rework turned out to be not good.
PvE and PvP.
I think we all can agree that Warriors, Ranger and Thiefs are not happy with what they got.

„Takes a deeeeeep breath“
Here we go again......
Long Story short, just dont play Ranger in WvW.
It makes everyones life easier.

To be honest...
Who played a pure condi trait with a pure power weapon?

For an example.
On the really high end, Regen heals for 8 less per second but you gain around 10 % more Boon Duration.

Heal Rev has not changed enough for it to see more play in WvW.
You still play the same traits as before.
You even loose a tiny bit of healpower on the high end.
120 Thoughness and 7% into Healpower gave slightly more HP then 120 HP and 7% into concentration.
To sum it up:
* Staff is slightly better at healing.
* You loose a bit of Healpower for extra Boonduration.
Thats it.

The " play 12 seconds... wait 12 seconds... play 12 seconds" part was one of the biggest reasons we wanted a Rework.
You can easely be in 80+ seconds of Berserker without alacrity now.
And (i think) perma Berserker with alacrity.
Only problem is you have to play 4 rage skills....... yeah.....

From a PvE perspectiv its awesome.
For any typ of pvp however....
It can be interupted.....
And im pretty sure you need to hit with the B-Form dmg to get trait benefits.
Lets hope im wrong!!!

Well.... when im on a zergling build, i know i have 0% chance of winning a 1on1.
Why should i give out free lootbags?

I would buy a third one instantly.
The mini primers are just awesome.

No problems here.
-
Yolo Gunflame maybe.
Or melee in small scale (3-5 people)
But as long B-Form has a cast time i dont see it as a duelist.
In zerging? No Way. Winds to strong.

Tempest or better the water GM could always share all types of Auras.

I think the reason for the casttime is that B-Form is now a regular Burst Skill.
This means that all Traits that work with Bursts also have to work with B-Form.
That could be the reason why entering B-Form is an attack now. ( You do aoe dmg around you)
Because hitting an opponent is required to trigger the effects of Burst Traits.
But this would (or could) be the reason for the cast time.

To be perfectly honest.
To this Point Berserker feels like a Alpha Version of a Elite Spec.
With the comming Changes, it gets into Beta.
Atleast we have something playable know and Anet can go from there.
Maybe we see a Final release version in 2-3 balance patches.

Well... headbutt into outrage is a 7 second extention to berserker form.
Something i would say is quite good.
If thats playable in PvE... time will tell but in PvP/WvW it should be usefull.

Zerging:
Heal Rev could see more play.
Heal Tempests who play daggers got a buff but how many Tempests play daggers?
Small Mace buff for Firebrand.
Maybe we see guilds play with the new Mass Invis.
Thats all i see thats changing for zerging.

> Ok so quick qestion.How the hell will you be able to get adrenaline on staight condi berserker setup? All rage skills wont give adrenaline.Longbow and sword is super slow to make adrenaline.So basicly you force ppl now to play power berserker?(If it will be even playable .Also GS+ 2 axe build .Yay we dont have enough of those meele boring wepons). Lets imagine start of fight . You use shater blow+ headbutt or Blood Reckoning and you good to go berserk mode and burst.When you in berserk mode you still can get nice flow of adrenline from rage skills and you burst more hence the "nice" dps(good enough dps to be able to feel like you do something). But after those changes you will be forced to get signet of fury to even start fight.Coz of that you drop 1 banner . You propably have to drop other banner just to get rage skill to make berserk last longer.When you do that you loose lot of personal damage and team loose dmg. (People will now consider well warrior is not giving buffs and not dpsing so we dont need him in party).But still in berserker mode you wont be able to burts that much at all with straight condi build.Now you lost basicly all fast adrenaline buildup skills and also " Smash Brawler: This trait no longer reduces recharge of berserk mode and primal bursts. Instead, it extends the duration of berserk mode by 5 seconds." and condi damage for this "Always Angry: Grants quickness and superspeed for 3 seconds when berserk mode is first activated." Did you guys actually think about this or you guys have bunch on monekys that do those balance patches? Basicly straight condi warrior wont be able to get adrenaline , wont be able to do enough bursts in berserk mode and his dps will be fluff .Why dont you delete warrior altogether if you guys hate him so much and why you change things that were kinda working.Rest of the classes must have lot of lolz and rofls etc.

What classes got actually better in WvW with the balance patch?
Heal rev got better (maybe).
Heal Tempests who run daggers got buffed a bit, but who plays daggers?
Maybe we see Mass Invis Chronos now in guild groups?
A slight Mace Buff for Firebrand?
Were you happy with this balance patch? (April 23rd)

Heal Rev in WvW basically didnt change.
PvE Berserker needs higher DpS for all the drawbacks it has now.
