But you never want it to be really good. they sort of managed to fix this a little bit now though by changing the damage on electric discharge (air swap) to vulnerability instead. i dont' think it would be that impossible to "fix" fresh air for example by giving their stuns slightly better animations and putting more a big part of the damage on non-instant skills (phoenix, plasma beam, etcetc)

> @"Poledra Val.1490" said: > People have very short memories, the meta in January was literally close to a collection of one shot builds and the chief among them were thieves literally annhilating people with one or two hits. I am not a huge fan of the current meta either but I would like to look forward and not backward when it comes meta/balance development. this is true, the reduction in onehots is nice but neither is the new gameplay of having to spam your wet noodle skills for 5 minutes into a teamfight while barely denting the enemy (unless you are holo...). i guess it's the resustain that is excessive.

wasnt staff ele kind of meta for a while back in the time of pirate rune parrot

> @"Ragnar.4257" said: > Mesmer Staff and Deadeye Rifle should both remain non-viable, unless given a signficant re-work. They are fundamentally anti-fun to play against. The same goes for any zoo builds which function just by activating all summons then afk-ing on a node. > > Read carefully. Not saying they are too strong. Saying they are anti-fun. Playing whack-a-mole against rifle deadeye or chasing a phase-retreating mesmer round and round in circles is tedious in the extreme. how hard is it to chase a phase retreat on a 12 second cooldown

multiclassers are just people with commitment anxiety, you guys should see a relationship therapist also, i like how warrior main misha is one of the ones who answered "no" kappa

delete chronophantasma and rebalance mesmer damage accordingly

this is just the return of shoutbow

while the build is boring and anti-fun i do agree that it is not hotfix-worthy

what about the 2v2 and 3v3 rated mini seasons?

just give it three new utilities, and new heal. elite is ok to have a big effect.

i swear 99% of the warriors who defend healbreaker dont even play it because truth is nobody wants to play this boring sleepy ass build. Any player stuck on HB on a team (like misha) will tell you this.

> @"dubidubidubidu.5308" said: > you also can run domi duelling mirage instead illusion for interrupt, its what i play. its bit harder to pull off but you get more outplay options and combos in return with deceptive evasion trait and ih sword clone ambushes (it traits simple dmg/cd reduction for utility more or less when going from illusion to duelling, esp when using de instead superior complex). i also made a combo guide and always add a lot of combo and general gameplay explanations into the pvp montages. in case you are interested in watching any footage. in the end just take the build fits your playstyle the most. > > for chrono interrupt i run this one (didnt test in 2v2 until now but for conquest it is too slow to be rly viable in my opinion, good for wvw tho): http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PiwAEx/lNwoYJsLWJOqKVtSA-z5IWKZGClmA9GBdXAOOA Did your main get banned or what?
