ollbirtan.2915

Wish they brought back at least a week break between seasons. Mini seasons are a design failure and snooze fest with severely imbalanced matchups.

Waiting for this thread to be deleted in 1...2.....If only anet reacted as swiftly to reports of wintrading and botting.

It also runs virtues with Absolute Resolution. > > > Core support guard is still not a bunker - it is a support, and one of the few viable supports left in spvp now. It can't decap, can't kill anyone, can't 1v3, so yeah, it's a support. Also, you don't run the symbol trait anymore - healing is almost nothing now. Run the shout trait instead.

You know there was a time when chronos and druids were a must-have support in any end-game content - FOTM, raids., etc? Chrono could provide perma 10 boons with ONE click of soi on repeat. It took years to nerf this nonsense, and now we have a another meta, which is not as low effort as before. Sure you can think that guard/reve are OP, but in all honesty, nothing stopping you in making your own group and play what you like.

I stopped reading at #2. If you can't be bothered to check your claims, please don't post asking for nerfs.

Bunker guard? Oh please do share that build! Ohh wait....it got deleted with the symbol nerfs !

I agree that bunkers aren't meant to be killed in 1v1 but supports are supposed to be destroyed in 1v1. healbreaker/core guard/Tempest, they re all supports and not bunkers but yet can't hold enough in 2v1. > I think is the issue in this game is that in other games, supports can't heal themself while healing others, which means the others need to defend him as kitten, or they're dead. In gw2 there is no need for that. As a support, you can heal yourself and others at the same time. There is no risk anymore for playing support. > You know that the ability to heal oneself doesn't equal to being a bunker, yeah? I'm not even going to pick on details like the existence of 'outgoing healing' traits. No risk playing support? Try solo quieting as a support, and your are at the mercy of your team. If they can't peel for you, you get chain CCed and die in 1 blink. Also, heal scaling has been practically erased from the game mode, so even if you can heal yourself, very often you are much better off investing into toughness or vitality to.....drumrolll...play as a bunkers or bunker/dps. Both are completely different playstyles, and both are equally viable.

Just another example of anet listening to forum "warriors" and nerfing what has never been an issue. BTW the barrier nerf is only for sPvP. For WvW nothing has changed.

Erm....what? You either run proper Menders Core Shout support or Core Burn dps. Anet gutted any possibility of successfully running a guardian hybrid build in sPvP.

Other games have also more defined balance agenda, for example dota, heroes that are opressing 2k games (that would be silver 3 tier here) are nerfed even if they see 0 use in their competitive scene (an actually pro scene), also they buff heroes that are not doing well. WDYM gw2 doesn't have a defined balance agenda? We have regular '3-4 weeks patch cadences' since Feb 2020, do we not? ;)

Imaging having issues with zoo necros....

Please nerf everything. What do we want? No runes! No stats! No weapons! No skills!

Let's stop calling these 'number games' balance patches, shall we?

-Meanwhile in the weaver camp...

Yeah, everything is fixed. All problem removed. A couple of my great "patches" like this, and there won't be anything left at all but sticks and rags,.

Lazy half-kittened patch with nerfs to things that have never been a problem anyway, Also, it would be an offence to proper game design to even call this lazy tendency to reduce / remove / decrease numbers / skills / effects --- 'a balance'.

and yet there are still some demanding bikinis and other 'Korean cliche' items. Hope this day will never come.

Please nerf teeeeeef! Thanks!

Play the class that you hate.
