About 9 months or so. And I certainly understand the bitterness. But this is the sort of communication the “vets” always asked for and when someone on the Staff communicates, they get flamed for it by the bitter entitled lot. I think its a great step by Anet. Short and informative with just a little bit of excitement. Promote more MATURE, quality communication and you might get more in return. Obviously Im not speaking to you, yourself Arheundel. But in general. I rather like your response to my comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was using Marauder stat gear with Scholar Runes. It was just buffed during the last balance patch. It is in a very good condition at the moment. Shouldn't and won't be changed imo. There are multiple problems with scourge, barrier is definitely not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very much appreciated. Could you do this for every balance patch? Just the general directions of the patch help alot. And maybe post it in a seperate locked topic to avoid getting flamed directly for being helpful. Befor anyone says I'm new, so I don't know the balance circle... I play for over 5 years and yes, some balance patches might have missed the mark or were questionable in their intention but that doesn't mean that anet doesn't try to do their best. And sometimes one is biased and don't want to see a needed change as good. I'm guilty of this too sometimes but we are the players and it is only logical to be upset about changes to our favorite playstyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carighan.6758 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 "Excited" about "mesmer changes", huh. Not sure whether to be excited that my class might finally become less of a mess (both core Mesmer and Mirage are, and Chrono is by proxy), or whether I should pre-emptively delete my main. It sounds a bit foreboding, worded like that :pensive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabbitUp.8294 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 > @"otto.5684" said: > Reg effectiveness?! As long as I can remember reg operated the same way. Never have I seen or heard anyone considering reg to be an over performing boon. Why would you waste resources fixing something that is not remotely an issue when there are million other things that are utterly broken?! Resistance says hello. The problem with regen is that it prioritizes duration over effectiveness. So, if you are a healing mace guardian or ventari revenant and apply very effective short-duration regen stacks, yours will be overwritten by a chrono with 0 healing power that picked Illusionary Inspiration. That would be a buff to regen for classes that invest in healing power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeolus.3615 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 @RabbitUp.8294 , i blame the poor care on the gamedesign for that to happen. If it is that what Karl ment, its a bit over time, the change, but tks for correcting my worries as i tough it would ment something else. EDit; i would not mind them to change Shouts o guardian as well to something more distinguisable than boon stacking, maybe this way they could increase the radio of mantras.

ANet is trying to do that instead, releasing smaller balance patches that will effect the metas in smaller ways, and now people are complaining about that too? Part of the problem is the last patch was very bad and accomplished none of its stated goals while buffing already over-tuned specs. So even though the last patch was technically not too long ago, it feels longer because of how misguided the 12/2017 "balance" was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANet is trying to do that instead, releasing smaller balance patches that will effect the metas in smaller ways, and now people are complaining about that too? Has there been small patches to fix anything? Beside SB what major balance issues since PoF release that was fixed. I am all for small patches as long as they add up to someting big every quarter.

Fact is that they would mostly have made all of these SAME changes before the change in balance cadence, but you wouldn't have seen any of them period until March. Their ability to do balance patches **well** notwithstanding, you were saying "I'd rather see one big patch instead of three small ones" which is the opposite of what we've been fighting for for five years. Don't take steps backwards... this is a new system and in time it may produce better results, but baby steps here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it means if multiple sources/players apply Regenertion to you, the Regeneration of the scource/player with the highest Healing Power will be applied first (=priorized). This means you get the best healing effect at the beginning of the duration. > @"Karl McLain.5604" said: >boon/condition conversion table changes... PLUS MORE!!

reikken.4961 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 the regeneration prioritization is a thing for raids. won't have any effect on PvP if you have 9 stacks of regen from a guy with 0 healing power, then your healer with 1500 healing power tries to give people regen, it won't be applied because regen is already capped. has been a pain point in raids for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
