Lahmia.2193 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 At last staff has come into its own. How long before it gets nerfed, I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmageddonAsh.6430 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 well, i am betting it will be LONG before the nerfs needed else, i have 2k toughness and i took over 10k damage form a Thief dagger auto attack chain ALONE. This update is SO bad its hilarious. This isnt balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to ask someone else about it's viability in pvp or spvp because I don't play that mode enough to give an intelligent answer. I would like to know myself.

What does it do? Some people say that Chaos Vortex strikes one target multiple times on medium or large hitboxes. Can't confirm because I haven't tested it though.

It's still good on small targets so I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want it toned down again, everything else has to be as well. Actually, I'd be in favor of EVERYTHING being toned down. The last thing the game needs is to continue this cycle of powercreep it's been swept into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levetty.1279 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Staff is all over the place at the moment. On one hand its doing less damage then it should because the bouncing of the auto attacks will probably not hit the enemy twice and staff clones still do vuln instead of torment . On the other you can get the ambush attack to hit the same enemy twice greatly increasing its damage. Hard to say where it will end up when they finish with it.

Levetty.1279 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Well looks like its just been heavily nerfed. Winds of Chaos: Reduced bleeding duration from 7 seconds to 4 seconds. Fixed a bug that caused clones using this skill to inflict vulnerability instead of torment. Reduced torment duration from 5 seconds to 4 seconds. Chaos Vortex: Readjusted condition application on this skill to apply 1 stack of bleeding for 8 seconds, 1 stack of burning for 2 seconds, and 1 stack of torment for 8 seconds. Fixed a bug that allowed this attack to hit the same target multiple times. Axe now has torment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they couldn’t have just fixed this bug without nerfing the durations on a condi weapon is beyond me. Maybe they’re going to move staff towards more support and will give us an improved chaos storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt gw2 is a DPS race game, if players dont complain Anet will never touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
