Kako.1930 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It's going to be insignificant. If anything, it'll only be more buffs to what is already top tier and maybe a few nerfs to what is already useless. Don't expect anything substantial.

Megametzler.5729 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Shatterstone damage increased by 20%. Mesmer focus was kinda unused in PVP, so we decides to reduce all cooldowns by 50% and let it spawn two phantasms. For fun. I'm so hyped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ithilwen.1529 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 This is what was said: "‘Allo Fellow Tyrians, We wanted to let you know that next Tuesday the Systems team will be releasing a smaller balance update. This update is coming out a bit earlier than we normally release a balance pass – consider it a little bonus! The release is focused around updating some weapon traits to make them more broadly usable and splitting some skills between game modes. Cheers, The ArenaNet Systems Team" Splitting skills seems to imply there will be PvP side nerfs. Weapon traits? Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieux P.1238 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 When the meta is Broken, it's fine to make changes in the middle of the season. When it's not, it's not. But it is! Git my drift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturallyNick.4058 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 If you can't adapt to a mid season balance patch fast enough to keep your ranking, you probably don't deserve it in the first place. The more balance patches the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did play the conventional condi build though when they went against rank 55 for the woodenpotatoes tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I feel like an addict when I hear balance patch. "omg is the wack gonna get purged? will pvp be fair and fun? will they finally introduce new modes and build variety?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddbopkins.2630 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Becuase they droped the last balance patch in the beginning of the season and that turned necro into a super power house. I am really looking foward to this one. I hope it lowers some of reapers dps. 3 more months of this kind of op spin to win power reaper is not healthy game play at all nor is it fun with it happening in everygame and sometimes have 2 spin to win necros can be a real frustrating ting... You have to let go of this anger twords irregular balance patchs or rather the scarcity of them. Just be glad to have it and to have the devs put there attention into pvp balance instead of mounts, gem store items, or pve living world agendas. Anet is a pve company now, long gone are the days of gw1 pvp scene got to get over that sorry to say it. It hurts me soul saying it. It will never come back. Maybe it still exsists but i dont know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl.8924 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 If they nerf reaper in pve i'm quitting guild wars 2. Lets hope they don't gut any classes. Also hopeful maybe tempest will finally get buffed.If it does become a buffer i'm more certain to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah only the meta-chasing bandwaggoners ever protest mid-season balancing.

Ele has not been buffed to relevance for the last 4 years, in only got nerfed at every turn since 2015 June. What I am saying is that ele has not been buffed from a trash level to a balanced state since Jon Peters left in 2014 when he dropped the new traits line patch in December 2014 : **Diamond skin and stone heart**; after that ele never received new traits/skills to combat raising power creep, it got shoved more and more into a bunker/support role..until that got nerfed out of existence too. So expecting relevant buffs to ele **against the office politics dictating balance atm**...no chance in hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also add diversity instead of having your typical druid mesmer firebrand overlords, as you would give a role to a older spec which has to compete with better specs and newer elite spec weaver.Besides we all know the likelyhood of tempest actually being on weaver levels so far is not good. On top of that auras are something unique to elementalist, so it wouldn't be homogenized, and it probably wouldn't be overpowered anyways when comparing other classes capable of spewing out more buffs.

Virelion.4128 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Seasons have no point anyway. If they can they should use every chance of fixing balance in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
