Ensign.2189 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I am mostly talking sPvP; DD is in better shape in WvW as that is much less steal dependent and the extra durability matters more in big fights. sPvP has more design debt though. A lot of DD traits and skills have sPvP only splits to make them bad there. The ability to stand and fight on top of fast rotations is a bigger problem in capture points and the splits reflect it.

The only reason I still play daredevil is cause I really like interrupt/Pulmonary Impact mechanic (that is garbage in this moment). In competitive modes core thieves perform really better, no way. > We are talking about something that is called ELITE spec and is weaker then base spec. Not really a downside. Every class has to renounce a core-spec. Warriors was in the situation you claim us to be in now for the longest time where Berserker was the undersireable underdog of PvP. Whether or not we follow the same fate, or we adapt (as we've always done), time will tell. > "In contrast to core specializations, which merely modify how certain skills and effects work, choosing an elite specialization fundamentally changes the way a given profession plays by altering or **expanding on the base profession mechanic**". This is not my thoughts, is AN description of Elite specializations (you can find it on wiki). > So daredevil used to expand base profession mechanic. "Trade off" is just a joke to nerf it after 3 y. You are deliberately ignoring the **OR** there. The e-specs were always supposed to _at the very least_ alter the way you play the class. Daredevil didn't change anything, it was just a straight-up better thief for the longest time without losing anything. Daredevil was a literal Acrobatics replacement until they buffed the latter. Anet achieved their goal, making Daredevil feel different, but at a higher cost than seems reasonable. For now I can only adapt... Ugh, this is going to be painful.

Daredevil didn't change anything, it was just a straight-up better thief for the longest time without losing anything. So who is the one that is ignoring the OR? AN has ignored it for 3 years, you are saying the same thing. Daredevil has been build with the purpose of expanding on the base profession mechanic. Now AN wants a Daredevil spec that alter base profession mechanic? good. But that means work on daredevil, **rework** its traits. Nerfing Steal is another thing. For now we all can only adapt or leave, but at least let me say they are doing a bad job. PS: I have a war, I always played it berserker Axe/shield - GS in those 2 years: in WvW with Superior Rune of Durability it was a great build even before this patch nay it was better (now is strong only cause of new broken F1 Arc Divider and +20% damage).

Haaa... > Now AN wants a Daredevil spec that alter base profession mechanic? good. But that means work on daredevil, **rework** its traits. Nerfing Steal is another thing. Naw, Steal is a part of that. In Anet's mind, the additional dodge is supposed to be the benefit, and Swipe is the obvious drawback. With that said, the change is _not great_. > For now we all can only adapt or leave, but at least let me say they are doing a bad job. I concur. Err, I agree. > PS: I have a war, I always played it berserker Axe/shield - GS in those 2 years: in WvW with Superior Rune of Durability it was a great build even before this patch nay it was better (now is strong only cause of new broken F1 Arc Divider and +20% damage).

Haaa... This is not a fix, is a badly done project modification (if you look at it without malice, otherwise you can call it a nerf). No way here, just check the AN's old pronouncement on Daredevil. By the way, till now you play daredevil in exactly the same way as before, nothing is changed in playstyle. Power D/D is basically no more viable on Daredevil, but only on core. All Daredevil build are weaker then before, some traits contrast each other (like HS and Endurance Thief), Pulmonary Impact, one of the unique Daredevil mechanic that distinguish it from core, has been nerfed losing 29% damage. They declare one thing (new e-spec trade off, elite as a different way to play a class, ecc..), but they seem confused about what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, that's why I put "fixed" in quotation marks, it's often used as a means to indicate irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
