Warscythes.9307 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 In regards to the buff to blood is power. I think the intention is fine, have it be a self damage buff for burst period. However I am pretty sure it will still not be used because the biggest issue is the cast time. I don't think anybody will spend 3/4 in combat to cast this and then try to burst especially with boon removal is in play. The most you will see is people use right before combat and then go in but that's usually not very practical. Maybe consider either reduce/remove the cast time?

You know, the two MAIN culprits of unfun one-shots, Thief and Mesmer, not only remain relatively untouched, the've got indirectly BUFFED as a result of all those defensive nerfs. This is proposterous. Buffing Heart seeker only contributes to one-shots as it's often paired with a Black Powder+Hearseeker+Steal+Backstab for an almost insta down, by buffing it you're contributing to those stupid one-shots you seem to be against. Shadow shot already hits ridiculously hard, it's an awesome gap closer and blinds, but its greatest perk is that it's a frikin' UNBLOCKABLE blind. It doesn't need more damage, AT ALL. Same thing with Infiltrator's Strike, it doesn't need to hit harder whatsoever. What about Mesmer Phantasms hitting ridiculously hard? Or the super easy to land one-shot combo from STEALTH? You could do so many relatively simple things to avoid this like Mind Wrack having a greater delay on each clone shattering, getting revealed when casting a Phantasm, reporpusing Mantra of Pain... or just flat out reducing their damage. > @"Gaile Gray.6029" said: > > ### Ranger > > #### Skills > > - Seed of Life: Increased the cooldown from 1 second to 3 seconds in PvP and WvW Seed of life has a delay and forces you to be static, why don't you make it remove 2 conditions as before then? > - Rejuvenating Tides: Reduced the base healing per pulse from 650 to 550 (-15%) in PvP and WvW Now you not only get to be a Druid only every 20 seconds, you now also get to heal for LESS. > - Solar Beam: Reduced the power coefficient per strike from 0.3 to 0.25 (-17%) in PvP and WvW You're nerfing a skill that already hits like a wet noodle and does irrelevant damage. Solam Beam is NOT the issue with Druid. > - Celestial Avatar: Increased the cooldown from 15 seconds to 20 seconds in PvP and WvW You're just getting it ALL wrong. Druid is a HEALING spec. Otherwise it's just a low damage useless Ranger that tickles you from afar with a laser-stick (which you're nerfing even farther lmao.) with the occasional pet skill. All of their skills interact with the Celestial Avatar, the healing skills, the utilities and the elite, even the staff greatly helps to fill that astral force faster. By nerfing the CD, you are gutting all of those interactions as well, while also making the spec LESS FUN to play. Why don't you nerf the culprits instead? Druidic Clarity and Celestial Shadow. Something like Druidic Clarity only removes damaging conditions, remove the stunbreak and put it into something like Natural Convergence; Celestial Shadow stealth and superspeed reduced to 2s. Just throwing some ideas. Increasing Celestial Avatar CD is NOT the way to go. With that said, in WvW Druids don't really accomplish their intended function as support healers at all, they are overshadowed by everything else. They are played as annoying roamers (that don't kill anyone decently geared and speced) in WvW and they are not even good at fliping camps so they are not even meta anywhere in WvW. They are this weird roamer, bunkerish bruiser in sPvP (a little too strong at that with both traits mentioned above), but nowhere near a strict support like a Firebrand or a Tempest. What could be very important skills such as CA Cosmic Ray (low AoE range and too long of a delay) or Staff skills such as Astral Whisp (pitiful damage, too long of a cast time) and Vine Surge (too long of a cast time) are downright unusable. Give them more group options to make them more desirable in bigger groups like Rejuvenating tides pulsing condi cleanse on others (not you), or Natural Convergence sharing its stability to others as well. Some ideas here and there. I insist, I don't like this balance approach to Druid at all, this heavily time-gated stuff is crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what profession you play but if you take a look through most of necros traits particularly the offensive ones. Most of them are sub par until they hit a foe at the 50% threshold Furthermore have you considered not dripping yourself in boons thus decreasing the damage of spinal shivers. The damage is unavoidable as it will not trigger if you never fall below 50%. Ideally if a necro gets you to 50% its when they gain the advantage. The damage is not free and requires actual work to be made to trigger it. Its not a no skill trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reduced the power coefficient of the third impact from 2.25 to 1.75 (-22%) in WvW only. With all the projectile hate in the game (winds) as well as the recent removal of quickness on the shiro elite skill Impossible Odds, hammer is barely usable as is. Staff and sword/x is a much better option for roaming since hammer so slow. I don't believe CoR is an opressive or even particularly impactful aspect of zerg fights.

Anvil.9230 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Well....I think the planned split is ultimately going to change the "meta composition" squads (bus) without really changing the gameplay .... And that once again we will adapt...until the next balancing change. If the goal is to really enrich the gameplay thinking global, then we could think of introducing a collision management system between characters (friend and enemy) in PvP situation. It could perhaps change deeply the gameplay, making it even more strategic and tactical. The introduction of a collision management system beetween character (friend and ennemy) in a pvp situation should bring an end to "mono ball" quest of every CM in WvW situation, and make players think in term of land control during the fight. In addition of such a system, Giving a different color (Purple as an exemple) to the name of the 5 people (and to their point on the map) who are in a same group Inside a big squad could help them to stay together during the fight (boon share, support, ...). It's just some idea, but i'll be particularly curious to see the impact of a collision system in GW2 WvW situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentfir.7430 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 As far as Spellbreaker Dagger goes, I'm very curious why you intend to nerf Dagger AA damage, when it's already on the low side. Also the the shave off the Disrupting Stab stun duration as well? it feels like D/D is going to be a unrewarding set now compared to the safety I would get with something like Shield. Everything else though seems pretty reasonable, maybe aside from Breaching Strike but meh. I do like the power buffs to sword, hopefully you'll be able to revive the pre-rework sword power builds, but I think it needs a bigger increase on power coefficients or at least a bump up in base damage. I really think too you should just either rework flurry, or perhaps greatly reduce the channel time but buff the damage, bleed application stacks. Since no one ever uses Flurry for the full channel, especially when it roots it you. Offhand sword needs some attention too...it's one of Warriors most underwhelming offhands atm, An Idea I had for it would be to have impale's secondary skill 'Rip' be a gap closer/dash. increase the power damage and applying cripple when you do successfully Rip. Current 'Rip' is way too hard to actually pull off on a moving target, and if you do happen to do so it's very unrewarding. considering the window of time you have in order to do it. Riposte attack trigger should be PbAoE, Decent power damage scaling with Bleed Stacks and weakness application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The .5 second delay for all cast times already hinders pve, but in pvp it was just plain annoying.

There's no way to get away if you miss a combo, no insta telleports, 1 leap only on a specialization, no access to super speed, no blocks, no invulnerability and don't bring up shroud because it always has a limited amount of damage it can absorb where as chain blocks and especially invulnerability can prevent an infinite amount of damage. > > TLDR : necro's are getting burn to a crisp unessisarily, where as other clases (especially mesmer) are stil, if not more, opressive and bursty than a necro, but get almost no changes. necros shouldn't be able to do the kind of burst damage that thief and mesmers do.

NotoriousNaru.1705 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thief needs a lot more nerfs than they're getting this first draft. Just reading through these notes I can tell thief will be the most busted thing. First, the removal of surging rune, a huge defense for most classes against thief that generally have a hard time with them(rev/war for example). Second, the removal of magi amulet making FB and any support really more prone to get insta bursted by thief. As it stands right now s/d thief with double steal is one of TWO things that can kill a FB 1v1 and in a teamfight s/d plus can end the fight pretty quick by double stealing a firebrand. Third, the removal of passives from several bruisers that made them sustain the thief +1 such as defy pain/auto balanced stance/auto S/Signet of stone. You can't just gut every bruiser's sustain and ability to hold 1vx and sustain the thief + for a little bit(doesnt take good thieves long to get the kill or + till full cap), then nerf firebrand(mostly just magi amulet gone), then remove surging runes, and on top of that keep s/d thief almost EXACTLY as is. There's a reason S/D thief is meta even with un-nerfed FB/scourge/bruisers. As for my 2nd point, mirage definitely needs more nerfs. I know the devs spoke on adding more nerfs to it somewhere but I can not stress this enough. Classes like druid/warrior/holo rely on their passives to hold 1vx, mirage doesn't. In the current meta, mirage is already the strongest 1v1 bruiser, most mobile, and has access to portal and infinite stun breaks. Devs please look seriously into giving mesmer a more defined role instead of having them do EVERYTHING in this current meta(and several metas before with condi chrono). As of right now, Mirage just does way too much and it being nerfed the least, while all the other bruisers getting almost gutted makes no sense. Edit: I'm only speaking from a 'real' competitive comp's standpoint and PvP only. I'm aware that 90% of mesmers in ranked run 1 shot mantra GS memes.

Americium.7182 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Here are my thoughts **from WvW perspective** on some of the classes: **Overall:** Split more skills not just from PvE but between PvP and WvW too. When you nerf popular PvP build don't nerf them in WvW too, there is no need for that. **Warrior**: No need for dagger nerf in WvW, Shout/Standard changes are good step towards bringing vanila support war back but probably not enough. Winds of disenchantment need some big nerfs, probably to cast time and/or ticks, duration. **Revenant**: While CoR is OP it's almost the only reason Rev is even played. He really needs some better compensations. Condi Rev could use some buffs too. **Guardian**: Good changes, Firebrand outshines vanila and DH way too much. **Ranger**: barely even played, Druids can't really compete with Firebrands as a support (no need for nerfs!). Maybe making "Search and Rescue" 1200 range again in WvW could at least create some niche role for them. Melee Soulbeast could use some buffs too, maybe increase leader of the pack (AoE stance trait) radius to 600? **Engi**: Holosmith nerfs would probably kill engi in WvW altogether. He honestly even deserves some buffs since he is not even used by GvG guilds where he should in theory shine . Mortar/Toolkit will see play only with viable Scrapper/Vanila build. Buffing them by themselves is pointless. **Ele**: both staff dps and aurashare support see almost no play, really need some buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the WVWer's complain, split it between the two seperate game modes because the bunker meta needs to finally disappear. Funny thing is, in WvW it's the opposite. Druids fought all throughout HoT to have a spot in zerg fights (roaming was fine), and now that we have one, they're taking it away again. The main issue in WvW right now is the condi spam and scourges being overpowered. Having a split would be a good change I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is with the aproach u take on this. esp on how you are toning down passive defesives/traits. Just reducing dur while upping the cd is imo lazy and simply gutts them instead of making them something thats better for the game. Instead of playing a numbers game why not rework these trait and make their perks something u get through active/interactive gameplay? Some of these arent picked in pve anyways so reworking them wouldnt be a big issue and it would instead enhance the overall gameplay Also i dont agree with the way u go about nerfing EM. iv seen alot of good suggestions like making it so the trait turns hard cc into a daze instead when you dodge and also playing with icd and ui elements that show u when it is available.

After playing holosmith in wvw for quite a while now, I came to love this class very very much. Seeing the changes made to engi makes me wonder if anet even cares for this class at all and if they make ''balances'' to it based only on other people's complaints. > > > > > > Holosmith is already an unviable class for zergs in the current wvw condi meta, having low damage, extremely low survivability and self sustain compared to other classes like scourge or spellbreaker. Why nerf it even more? Seriously, ruining the only skill that gives stability, not giving any proper condi cleanses and even reducing the main source of damage is not simply nerfing an already disadvantaged class, it's putting a final nail to its coffin. > > > > > > Since I don't play pvp often, I really can't say much about the effect these changes have there, but if holosmiths are indeed so OP in pvp as many say, why include these nerfs in wvw? > > > > > > > > > > Not sure what kind of holosmith you are playing that has low damage, and extremely low survivability and self sustain, but any holosmith I have run into has a brontosaurus poop ton of damage and survivability, thanks to the heat mechanic/perma stab on corona burst. These changes are much needed. I myself play an Engineer, and if another Engineer agrees that corona burst's perma stab is a problem, then it's gotta be a problem. Holosmith is supposed to be a damage dealing spec, both bursting and sustained damage. Giving it perma stab would then put it in a position to fulfill both of these roles with the utmost expertise, with no counterplay or drawbacks. Just CC them you say? How? They have perma stab, remember? Causing the stab to be applied on hit is good, and if they did keep stab off hit, then reducing its uptime is essential, else, once a holosmith gets going (corona burst before jumping in), there is no stopping him before he bursts your poor body from full to pieces within 3 seconds. > > > > > > > > Holosmith does not have permanent stability on Corona Burst with Eclipse (the only viable trait in that line for most encounters since holosmith has no other sources of stability). Eclipse offers 4 seconds of 2 stacks of stability on the use of a skill with a 6 second cooldown that generates a lot of heat on use. 36% boon duration (Alchemy traited plus Durability runes) will push the duration of the stability up to 5 1/2 seconds, but the claim "permanent stability" implies holosmith can stay in the forge and camp Corona Burst on cooldown. The heat mechanic prevents this. > > > > > > > > If holosmith is thought to have too much stability because of Eclipse, then lowering the base duration or the number of stacks makes more sense over adding the stipulation of hitting a target. No support trait/skill should rely on hitting a target for its function to be achieved (looking at you Aqua Siphon). If this change to the trait goes live, then holosmith will have zero access to stability if Corona Burst is dodged or the enemy simply moves out of range, and the flashy tells for everything in the photon forge makes such a dodge/disengage almost a guarantee if this change is implemented. > > > > > > you are also forgetting that, this stability pulses 2 times, one at the beginning, and one at the end. Also, dodging vents exhaust traited, so it's basically perma stab. On top of vigor uptime per swiftness gained and elixir that restores endurance, you can easily have perma stab by just spamming corona burst off cd, all while staying in forge a great deal of time. heat also does not take too long to dissipate when you only have 100 heat, so you have a lot of forge uptime, and when you don't, you're out of range from cc in the current meta build. > > > > Changing Eclipse to give both stacks of stability on the initial pulse (thus keeping the base duration to a true 4 secs) or lowering the base duration outright would be a more sensible change than adding an on hit stipulation to the stability. Holosmiths need the stability to have any hope of engaging with the backline of a zerg (where holosmith can shine in zerg vs zerg play), and requiring a target for the stability will kill any hope a holosmith has for engaging the enemy's backline without being cced to oblivion before they get close enough to do a Corona Burst that'll actually hit something. > > > > Putting an on hit stipulation on something with a radius of 300 will make holosmiths easy kills for all those things that enjoy 900 and 1200 range ccs. > > you'll still be able to get in though. There are other ways to engage than to corona burst before engaging. It's possible, with a build i have been testing and got to plat 2 with, i think it's proven. I'm looking at the holosmith changes purely from a WvW perspective. WvW has much more room on its maps for maneuverability and ranged cc/burst. The change to Eclipse might make sense in PvP, but I don't play that mode and can't comment on it. I do know the change would gut holosmith's access to stability in WvW. Adding an on-hit stipulation to any support oriented (and Eclipse itself is pure support as a trait) trait or skill with a small range/radius is an inherently flawed design in WvW. Ask any sword weaver how often they land Aqua Siphon in WvW for its recently buffed healing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number changes? * Nothing about 100% heat tier skills and traits for Holosmith? * Some traits on invention tree could have larger radius on WvW. * May be good if mortar rounds (1 - 5) travels faster, least in WvW. * What about increase travel speed, radius and coeficient of "Rocket", least on WvW? * Decrease boon duration and boon application interval on trait " Experimental Turrets".

Make it so boons, conditions, and control effects really cost something tangible versus direct damage. Scourge boon corruption has already been nerfed....anymore and it won't be boon corruption at all. Wvw feels much better now since the most recent changes, spellbreaker bubble is the most over powered skill in wvw atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
