Rufo.3716 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I'm beginning to wonder if the balance team even plays this game or tests the changes they want to make. If they do play, they must be bronze players. Great game being ruined because one department doesn't have a clue what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jski.6180 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Look dmg numbers and healing numbers are always going to be normalized but with out added effects to other classes such as boon control, condi control, strong boons, counter healing, and unblockable dmg your going to make way too many have and have not classes. Right now ele has a step up on dmg but just barely but this will be normalized in time and ele will lack all of these other effects and do dmg and support at the same level of other class making it a lesser of a class. This is not power creep this is normalization of classes but with out any though of chasning the classes. To only changes numbers in this type of balancing is to doom classes. @Ben Phongluangtham.1065 Please play the ele class in spvp and wvw and see the problem with it stop making Anet playing only ranger in wvw we all see it and know it. Make the ele dev play ele please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Mode.3780 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 the nerfs on warrior is very minimal warrior's dmg isn't the problem is how well how easily they can rotate their skills to be able to built full zerker yet being super tanky. for those who are QQing on the current warrior nerfs i see no huge nerfs on utilities and traits only mainly on dmg. Where as every other class is getting gutted to the core with trait nerfs and utilities nerf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of the posts were posted in this thread as well. - Completely missing the mark on how to properly balance Druid. If anyone were to take a look at the balance history for Druid, almost everything has been either doubled in cooldown or halved in effectiveness. Druid actually used to take skill to play when HoT was first released. Instead, it now just feels like a shadow of its former self. Druid feels slow, weak, and annoying to both play and play against. Honestly, I'm just very disappointed... I don't feel like getting into it any more. If anyone at Anet reads this and cares even a little, read over the thread I linked. The current changes you've made do almost nothing to Druid aside from making it even more annoying to play and made Core and Soulbeast weaker in return. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Actually I just realized that the only "updates" you made to the ranger changes was to make them PvP only. I'm actually completely surprised by the fact that _all_ of our suggestions had been ignored and you guys actually didn't change a single thing... Is this a _joke_?

Ben i have question about ele changes - what's the point in saying that balance update is focused on ,,bringing more build variety" when you NERF under performing ele spec's... even core...that didn't have any influence on the meta. it's disheartening really...especially when you look at ele sub forum and look at people's effort to make devs noticed something went really wrong with balancing ele in pvp.

shadowpass.4236 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I just want to know how it took 20 pages of feedback and 2 weeks to decide that the only edits you were going to make for ranger was to make them PvP only. Like _seriously_? You're telling me that after ALL of the feedback you guys got, those are the ONLY changes you decided to make for ranger??? I'm completely floored by that.

Klypto.1703 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Yeah rev it seems the changes are just going to benefit people who are fighting them. Hammer has always been strong so I see the purpose in that. Although bad design in the first place with that jalis heal was putting condi removal on a heal so when you need to remove poison you lose a majority of an already small heal. Same deal with that kalla heal to reduce condi damage lose that very small healing for a trade off that isn't very great because one attack from anything will interupt and kill those charr summons. Where kalla is concerned I don't see any viable changes there that will even make it usable in pvp or wvw so no sense changing powers of those charr summons if you can't even use them to do anything its the same thing right now as not having any heal/utilties/elite. Another thing is anything that converts conditions to boons is counter productive now it can take a few skills like elixirs per say on engineer and turn them into massive damage that scourges spam condi's and corrupt those boons and then backpeddle for a spellbreaker to then use those boons kill you or seriously injure you so then scourges can just spam you again and kill you without any kind of counter play involved is just very unpleasant gameplay imho. So I suggest before doing any changes fix core problems first and for rev the condi removal problem is bad enough in pve too go to the new maps and get condi bombed while on a mount and get dismounted with so many conditions from awakened that you just watch yourself die without any way to counter act the very limited condi removal since rev needs quite a bit more.

Curunen.8729 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Alternative suggestions regarding elusive mind instead of flat 3s exhaustion, for reasons mentioned previously as it is a poor mechanic for this trait: 1. 10s ICD on stunbreak only. 2. Apply x seconds of weakness to self on breaking stun. 3. Convert all hard cc into daze, with the daze duration being the same as the remaining cc duration. Does not affect daze. 4. Have it cause Exhaustion when breaking a cc effect, however *directly tie in the exhaustion duration with the remaining duration of the cc effect* - ie if you break a 1s stun you will get <1s exhaustion, if you break a 3s knockdown you will get <3s exhaustion and so on. 5. Provide alternative source of direct endurance regain through traits or directly baked into skills, if going with Exhaustion on EM, for example: - regain x amount of endurance every time you hit a target with axe 2, or third hit of axe auto - regain x amount of endurance whenever you shatter - regain x amount of endurance when you crit with any weapon. - all deception skills return x amount of endurance on use. and so on... Of course not to implement all of these, just whichever is the most appropriate. 6. Remove stunbreak from EM entirely and instead make all deception skills (or at the very least jaunt) into stunbreaks. Replace stunbreak on EM with "dodging with under 70 endurance detargets you", in addition to removing a condition as present. 7. Will add more as thinking of them.

Dude you guys have got to reduce the shroud cd for core and reaper necro back to 7s. Put a 10s cd on enter-shroud traits if you’re worried about balance.

Sodeni.6041 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Im really afraid of the mesmer mirage change where illusive mind gives you exhaustion. This means the mesmer can't regenerate endurance at all in this time. I think you think mirage is similar to daredevil but thats not right. Mirage still has only 2 endurance bars and has basically no skills that regenerate endurance like daredevil does (daredevil heal, signet, vigor). Mirage only has some vigor and thats it. I think nobody will run illusive mind anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etaoin.4362 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 @Ben Phongluangtham.1065: I'm still not sure why you think that these changes to ranger will solve the "druid problem." The major issue, as I understand it, is that you have a player that can spec into healing and let a pet like smokescale just keep dealing damage; it's not the player (via, say, Solar Beam) that's the major problem. More importantly, though, I'm still not clear on why core ranger and soulbeast have to suffer for the metaphorical sins of druid's design. As I understood it, in the previous iteration of the proposed changes you wanted to reduce the healing power coefficient on rugged growth; now you seem to want a flat reduction to that trait's healing. So it would now heal for only 130 HP/s and only when you have protection up. That would be more in line with a trait like rapid regeneration (with swiftness) on the scrapper, but it still pales in comparison to the passive sustain of heat therapy of holosmith or healing signet on warrior, especially when coupled with adrenal health. That means that you would further reduce the viability of non-druid rangers to compete in a lot of match-ups, especially close-to-mid-range combat. Similar problems arise with the proposed changes to protective ward. For PvP in particular, this is painful since it remains a game of point defense. Why not just leave these core traits alone for right now? The proposed changes to druid (if they go through) should be enough to see the problem removed. If we still see druid over-performing, then we can just go back to the drawing board (which, honestly, is something we'll need to do regularly anyway).

Yeah Sword ambush with IH has potential to spam more cc than EM breaks, which I find quite funny. When more people switch over to this and IH in general the complaints are going to be just as much if not more than now. Until they nerf that of course... I'm glad they're nerfing CS because that has needed it for a while, but overall cc spam across all classes in the game should be reduced/limited to a few skills and traits if we're only meant to have a few limited ways of anti-cc. I'm probably going to be hard headed and continue to use EM even if it ends up with this stupid Exhaustion mechanic making it worse in some ways than not taking a grandmaster trait at all due to how mirage functions, simply because I like having the condi cleanse on dodge.

LinhZeri.6412 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Please consider Necromancer's weapon skills giving more Life force generation (at least double values of current and adding to non-existent sources on every weapon skill. (And no funneling these classes into soul reaping for gluttony trait doesn't do anything) in PvP as that is the only thing that makes Necromancer and Reaper's shrouds as weak as they are. This change would also make reaper viable again as during your downtime instead of relying so much on Staff with Soul marks (no idea why this isnt baseline anyway and having staff should NOT be a requirement to do anything) you can actually obtain that life force to enter it again. Both have been designed for sustain Life Force generation which doesn't exist in PvP since people aren't dying all the time and you attacking 1 to 2 targets most of the time. All Necromancer weapons should generate life force at a steady pace to allow them to actually be used at a consistent rate. If this change effects Scourge by making them get life force too fast.. simply increase their sand shade skills by some margin to compensate. Only an idea to throw out there as this is what necro has been needing for years but never has .. this is the time it feels like you reading everyone's posts so im going to wing it.
