Vagrant.7206 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I ask this because PvP has mostly been filled with scourges, thieves, and spellbreakers. Many of the other classes are feeling left out, underpowered, or just don't have a place. Can we get an approximate timeline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elxdark.9702 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Next tuesday probably because new season starts in 2 weeks so we will have at least 1 week to test new amulets/runes and class changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exciton.8942 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 It has to be next week. It would be ridiculous to continue such unpleasant PvP experience in next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknicrofia.2604 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Season 9 starts on November 7th, I'm betting that next Tuesday will be the balance patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kKagari.6804 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'm predicting a nerf to Righteous Instincts, from 50% to 33%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is their principle. They want the meta to settle first to avoid polluting a season... This why we got POF in the middle of current one ...lol I think they don't give a kitten now. You will have to wait next mid season....rotfl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better nerf core guard. Well, Guardian/Dragonhunter hits like a truck with Greatsword and probably has the highest power damage output in sPVP currently.

Darknicrofia.2604 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Whirling Wrath has the same cooldown as FC, so as a SB main (I'm assuming based on avatar), I'll suggest the same FC counter warriors suggest: just dodge it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaith.8256 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Balance perception is worse than balance at this point in time in PvP. If you just solo or duo, you don't need to worry, any class, even power Revenant (arguably hardest) is viable when you're good enough at it. Now when you get into 5 man comps, the balance becomes a little bit messed up. *- The biggest problem is how Spellbreakers are the go-to 1v1'r because they simultaneously have the best matchups and the best 1vX (by FAR) making them a clear auto-lock for side noder. All other 1v1 builds are 2nd rate by at least a small margin, tanky Inspiration Mirage is close, due to beating everything except spellbreaker, having portal, and having best 1vX after spellbreaker. Playing 3rd rate builds for a 1v1 role (but still good) are: Sage's Weaver, Celestial Holosmith, Dragonhunter, Druid, Scrapper. *- Scourge is an auto-lock because nothing competes with the amount of boon convert and AoE condition pressure. It would be awesome if Mallyx Revenant were to have it's teamfight capabilities improved to the threat that Scourge is, and relied more on receiving team support.. just to not give a monopoly on the role. *- Firebrand at the moment is an auto-lock over the Tempest because it's just tuned higher in healing & condition removal, and gives the teamfight carries a huge amount of stability. *- Thief is pretty well an auto-lock for spiking Scourges & Firebrands, mobility, and stealth for teamfight openers. *- The 5th slot is pretty open at the moment, popular last-picks are Chronomancer, Marauder Holosmith. Anything that can teamfight well or bring lots of utility as with Chronomancer. My hopes for the balance patch are: *- Nerfs to Spellbreaker 1vX potential, *- Nerfs to Firebrand support, *- Nerfs to Scourge boon convert, *- Shaves to condi mirage, *- Small buffs to the bad and unused weapons/utilities/traits on: Soulbeast, Weaver, Holosmith, Scrapper, *- Small buffs to Power Rev personal survivability *- Buffs to Mallyx Revenant's boon rip & teamfight pressure, *- Big buffs to Renegade, although I suspect it's probably a lost cause with that absolute dumpster fire that is Kalla's utility kit.

Crinn.7864 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Core necro buffs, especially to core power necro Right now 80% of necromancer's power comes from our elite specs. Meanwhile other classes get most of their power from core with elite simply offering various toolkits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
