Ok. Im standing on a Point alone. Oh! I See a Guardian comming. Better prepare with Frost Aura and protection. BOOM! Im dead before the Hammer 2 animation finished. Ohh yeah.... forgot guards can teleport...

The Hot Meta was waaaaaay worse then PoF. Unnerf DH longbow? Epidemic? Old condi shout necro? 100% Dmg reduction? Unnerfed CoR that oneshotted full soldier gear Guards and had 15targets and double Hits? Unnerfed boonchare Mesmer? The kitten staff burn guard? The condi stealth meta? There was so much wrong with HoT WvW. Please put down the nostalgia Glases. I would never trade the PoF Meta for that.

Remove the „now“

Why is it that all of the sudden everyone wants a berzerker rework? I talked about this for months and people always told me how stupid i am. But yes, berzerker needs a rework

Berzerker is my personal choice. But i would vote for Scrapper

Where is the both option?

Day X Month XY.

Arenanet Headquarters.

Dev A: Looks like they love the Herald Overhaul. How is the Scrapper Overhaul going?

Dev B: Good! Any ideas what to rework next?

Dev A: I thought maybe Berzerker. Its been 2 months since the last time someone used Decapitate. Also maybe we could fix some Core Stuff. Balancing Warrior gets way to hard.

Dev B: Sure. But that means we cant change Traits for the next Balance Patch.

Dev A: Mhhhh. Maybe i should take a look into the Forum. "Sees Buff rifle thread". Hee.. Why not....

Dev B: Only buffing rifle is a not enough for mayor Balance Patch i think.

Dev A: Mhhh what about signet? Nobody uses them in any kind of compeditive gamemode , so we dont have to think to much about balance here. Just make them stronger.

Dev B: Anything else?

Dev A: Buff Hammer 3. Dont look at me like that! Just do it ok?

Just as an Info. The [Lesser Signet of Might] that you get from the Signet Trait also gives 6 stacks of might.

> what chair? how u get a chair?

You have to do the achivment "Chairs of the world" in the Community section.

If you already done it, you can buy it for free at a Npc in the north west cave in LA.

"I main Necro"

And there goes your entire Post up in flames.

As a Tipp: NEVER mention what class you play/main or you loose your credibility.

At this point its looks more like a hidden "Necro is the worst class , nerf everthing else below the ground" thread.

Dont get me wrong.

All your points are correct.

But there are alot of people that will stop reading after the words "I main Necro".

Hi!

Is there any reason we cant use the Normal Chair in WvW?

I could understand that the other 2 bigger Chairs could be a problem, but the normal one?

Would be nice if we could use it.

I never thought to see the day that someone cries for a reaper nerf in PvP.

Im so poud of Arenanet that they made that possible.

Oh kitten your right.

It was 2% per boon before not 1%.

Could have been alot worse.

Mhhh.

WvW:

* Guard was slightly buffed.

* Power Necro was slightly buffed.

* Condi Necro was slightly buffed.

* Power Rev got a big buff.

* Support/Heal Rev got a big buff.

* Support/Power Ele = obsolutly no idea.

Cant say that so bad.

\o/ Rifle Buff \o/

Also love the Signet of Fury Buff.

I bit sad that it is not more but hey i dont complain.

WvW Rev is busted know.

* More +% Dmg

* 3 stacks of Group Stab every 20 second.

* Might Stacking is 10 Targets now.

Cant complain

Im shit at Necro and get 28k Dps on Golem without Infusions , realistic Raid buffs and no rotations.

> @"Scalpels.2809" said:

> What do you think about today's patch?

Mostly Happy.

Would had loved a dmg increase on the auto hit.

With open world Buffs and gear Rifle 2 does 6-7k Rifle 4 does 7-8k and Rifle 2 does 30k+.

Thank you Arena Net!

Im 100% sure Ranger will be nerfed.

* Maul dmg decreased

* Worldy Impact dmg decreased

* Sic Em basicly removed from the game.

* Smokescale´s Smokefield is now a Darkfield.

[This not what i want but i think will happen]

On the first part: We get a Balance Patch in 2 days. Maybe wait a bit and ask then again.

Second Part: No. You dont get loot from reta dmg.

And here i am, thinking to much dmg is the problem.

One is Pure single target and the other has range aoe cleave that no other class has.

WvW Hammer rev.

As a Renegade you get 40% Crit Chance from Fury and 33% from the Trait.

So your max base Critchance you want is 27 %.

This means if you need to dodge ( something you HAVE to do in WvW VERY often!) , you have now 67% Crit Chance.

Or you get hit by one Nerco Shade and loose your Fury.

Also Renegade has no good way of getting Fury.

You get 5 second on Legend swap.

You get 6 Seconds if you hit a target under 50%. Which not always happens.

This also means you start the fight without Fury.

You could trait that you get Fury with your Healskill but you loose 7% dmg and have to waste your healskill.

TLDR: One Boonstrip and one dodge and your have max 27% crit chance and you are basicly useless.
