Master Ketsu.4569 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Sounds like overall a huge gift to condi specs which are already broken and not fun to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'd love the below to be called Wardens Amulet if there wasnt already one on the table :) • Power: 1050, Precision: 1050, Healing: 560, Vitality: 560 > When does it go live? Probably mid season so if any prove too OP they can be rebalanced/removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're aiming for 10/17 for Celestial and for the runes. The others will be a bit longer, since we need new icon art. But probably November.

Why not Scourge? I understand not adding Rebirth, but whats wrong with scourge runes? 3k barrier on a 75sec cooldown is hardly OP, and sPvP has a definitive lack of condi damage + healing power amulets.

shadowpass.4236 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I was wondering if ferocity could be added onto the amulets with power and precision to balance out the fact that condition damage requires only 1 stat. Any comment on this Ben? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Elegy.9276 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Celestial seems blatantly weaker than it should be. If scourge is allowed to press 2 buttons and obliterate 5 players at once, I should have my 550+ to all ammy. This is a completely different era than the vanilla celestial crisis. +All doesn't mean much anymore, especially when extremist builds are popular and powerful.

It was marketed as a support spec, and yet currently the damage numbers it puts out are unacceptable in every applicable mode. From PvE to WvW or SPvP, Scourge has become MANDATORY.

But Scourge isn't a "death cheat"... It procs on 50% HP, which mean it work like some traits such as Stone Form or Defy Pain. And I'm pretty sure we have Cheat Death traits in some professions. I remember Berserker having one and I think Soulbeast have one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize a 3k barrier was "cheating death" Never mind the fact we already have a rune that procs stealth. > @"Lost Elegy.9276" said: > Because the team is clearly going to be making massive changes to Scourge. It was marketed as a support spec, and yet currently the damage numbers it puts out are unacceptable in every applicable mode. From PvE to WvW or SPvP, Scourge has become MANDATORY. We are talking about Rune of the Scourge, not Scourge the elite spec. Rune of the Scourge isn't even a good rune for Scourge compared to already existing options such as Scavenging or Tormenting runes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hana.8143 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Well, it’s good to see celestial is making a come back ! Scourge’s rune is not a cheat death runes (rebirth is), but I think the amount of barrier would be broken with some spec. Appreciate that kind of news (better than the « no signet of restoration yet » for the Eles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
