I don't remember to have seen the exact percentage of classes in high ranked positions ( RBG, ARENA, PVE ) ( nor the exact percentage with a 10% error ). Blizzard does the same as others, but it let you pay an extra. Imagine what could do a mmo with no sub, with the earnings of a mmo with a sub, if the company will decide to use a 5/10% of the earnings from sub. Blizzard is, imho, doing nothing compared to what it gets from players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to be a joke, Spellbreaker, ya no doubt nerf is inbound. But scourge too strong lololol. Scourge got nerfed very hard already, even the devs said too hard and buffs are going to come. If you disagree that is a L2P issue not a balance issue. That's assuming, your comment is based from a small group/SPvP standpoint. If it's from a WvW Zerg standpoint, well there isn't much to do about that. Nerf scourge and another class will get stacked hard, doing AOE Condi damage. Nerf Condi and Eles will be stacked AOE power damage. That is just the nature of Zerg fights and it isn't going to change. Furthermore, once again, like that in every game. It's called a Mage Ball, it isn't new and like balance issues isn't exclusive to GW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power build... i dont think so. Condi build.. well lets say its ok, but why not take a firebrand or condi weaver? The difference here is almost 30% and thats really huge. Going to have to disagree. I was there for the first 4 seasons. And your statement is pretty wrong. While I on a DH, did 3x as much damage as my friends in RBGs, that's not 10% LMFAO. Then we had My lock, unkillable 1v10ing people, Mages dropping people in 2 hits, boomkins killing with 1, ya man, it's still a balance mess. And all that is before there SPvP that isn't really SPvP when Ilvl gives up to 20% stat increase, and PvE gear is easier to obtain than PvP for PvPing. And all of it is straight RNG now. Oh then we have AP, and the stupid amount of doffrence that can make in once again, SPvP, while the AP gains in PvP are garbage..... This is a case of the grass being greener, I promise you, it really isn't. However, I will say that Blizzard does do alot more balance pacthes, and those OPs last a couple weeks a month tops, vs the 3-4 months here. However that is to be expected, Blizzard has more money, more staff, more players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You deliver an excellent point. I am just concerned that the overall tone of this thread is too negative and doesn't really respond to the issue in a reasonable way. My opinion is that as a community we could approach issues in a more professional tone. On the topic at hand, I personally don't see the need for extra info about balances but I also don't have much time in a day to game so I avoid researching it too much in the first place. You're welcome! Also you're right anyway, about this just being a negative thread. Last sentence is my stance. I have better shit to do than go through notes before they hit so I can prepare my whining in advance. I KNOW THAT'S WHY SOME OF YOU WANT EARLY PATCH NOTES Patch hits, and I either take it or leave it. When it comes to balance! Patches that remove content piss me the fuck off. But strictly in terms of balance/skill, and is more important in pvp; adapt That's it. Just adapt. Because frankly, I think the only reason people get upset over balance is because they might have to actually work instead of think about what theyre doing. Necro is viable in any game mode but they complain because they are not on ez level like warrior. I'm going on a tangent now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokes apart, i do share this part > LITERALLY the only reason PvP is "toxic"(said in a nasaly voice) is because Anet introduced PvE rewards in PvP. Though it's not the only reason why SPvP is toxic. Is it true that SPvP were empty before the introduction of SPvP reward tracks, but even so players were there only to play, not to farm ( maybe rank farm for /rank ). Though it could be useful for those who do SPvP to make some cash, reward tracks ( as year of the ascention, SPvP legendary armor, Ascended equipment, no pip loss, etc... ) took in many PvE players, which only desire their loot, achievements and shinies.

No. PvP isn't everything in this game, the PvP players will say Scourge needs a further nerf which might be somewhat true. But in terms of PvE it needs a buff.
