Kovu.7560 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I swapped back to Soulbeast after the Druid & CA nerf on March 27. This bullshit move coupled with the slight buffs to ranger/soulbeast pretty much solidified my position in that respect. ~ Kovu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dralor.3701 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I understand people not liking bunker builds but every time a class is removed from the meta it is not a reason to rejoice. This just means less class diversity, ranger doesn’t have anything else that was competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's part of the reason for it. Few rangers I've seen play Soulbeast compared to Druid. In most cases, groups don't want Soulbeast. And I always found it telling that more nerfs happened to druid after this newest expansion than Soulbeast even to this day. Usually, a new 'class' dominates the field as far as people wanting to play it. That's the case for almost all the other classes. But not Soulbeast . . . and there's a reason.

Take that! ;) They were easy kills already since druids got hit pre season. They also have very little access to stab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraitan.8476 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Anets' balancing makes me think they do this intentionally in order to get the entire playerbase on the same ~5 classes. It's time we all start maining spellbreaker, mirage & condi thief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celestial shadow and Druidic clarity? That what made druid easier to play respect to other potential sidenode holders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
