Or maybe. Just maybe. Each cc skill should be treated on its own, on a per case basis. Guard hammer 4 is one of the hardest cc's to land on an enemy, it should do normal damage. Some cc skills should do more than normal, others less.

I was thinking hight was a typo but it was used repeatedly.

This dude has had three spam threads about burn guards deleted this week, maybe he should quit whining and learn to play the game. People have given him tips, now lets see if he can apply them.

Assuming you somehow managed to pull the entire damage on enemy target. You know this is not PvE we are talking about, right? > > Insane damage as in 8-12k in wvw when running full marauder with zerk trinkets like I do on my roaming build. I run hydromancy and vision on My GS and the times I manage to get a full GS 2 after a weapon swap the 2 skill on average does about 10k damage. The damage on it is honestly great, at least in wvw, and the movement penalty it receives while channeling is what I think makes it difficult to use successfully. Post a 12k screen where you have your target locked showing their boons.

Pretty sure you should read the patch notes. It was a bad patch but not remotely related to whatever you're on about.

Yeah that wasn't a balance patch it was number swap.

> @"Brokensunday.4098" said: > Like the other two said. Gs just need a damage buff it lacks damage. Buff the gs2 buff gs5, and gs3 should evade if they change it Not sure it quite boils down to that. No one is going to sit in ww, even the worst bearbow in wvw with 300 ping.

Uh thats for February.

Pretty sure balance is all but done for this game. They don't have enough people to do anything but work on the next pve update. They don't know their systems enough to balance them, and even if they did they fired everyone who knew how to manage the pve-pvp-wvw splits.

Nice you wanted radiant (niche) and fb nerfed, now you get to play with DH again. You got what you asked for.

I find problematic. It's no wonder that Anet continues to do their own thing for balancing ... what's the point in trying to appeal to a group of players when you earn the disdain of others? It's a zero-sum game ... so Anet might as well do what they want. Thats not what zero-sum means.

Yeah guard weps outside of fb are so bad now they aren't even worth mentioning in this post.

The failure of anet to produce iterative balance patches after they promised to killed the vision they had in the path. Now we are left with useless skill and traits because of some stupid dogma they didn't back up. It could have worked but they didn't follow up. They promised more frequent balance and instead we got NO balance whatsoever, even less than before. Anet has basically fired everyone at this point who actually read the forums so we're talking to a brick wall.

A thief tapping someone with Headshot before a warrior uses Bulls Charge would be handing them free stab. Either this concept is useless and does nothing because the effect is too short, or it's too strong and CCing someone is as wasted as if they had stab. It's already too easy to ruin CC chains by overriding longer CC with shorter or weaker after it lands, this would make it useless before it even lands. Ok. Make it immunity per character hit. Remove alot of the lower tier cc. Development is iterative.

.25 second immunity to all cc from a soft cc, .5s immunity from a hard cc. Global rule that way anet doesnt have to spend their interns time micromanaging every cc skill.
