Yes.* Complaining about a situation and suggesting a solution goes hand in hand. I woud love to see general powercreep reduced - this absolutely includes ele. If cleanses and condi application get reduced, woven stride needs nerfs for example -, but I do not expect it to really happen. Talking about it definitely has a point though. I don't agree with all of it, but he just wanted to start a discussion about solutions. Everybody is free to add own ideas. If you have better ideas for warrior, I'd love to hear them! :smile: Those are some I don't really agree with OP, for example. *In the current meta, of course. Compared to many core (and HoT) builds, weaver is absolutely strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand The Wall.6987 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 > @"Quadox.7834" said: > What do you mean by "fb powercreep is necessary" and "would bring scrapper to an even less op level of bunker". Did your eyes home in on your main and ignore the purpose of the OP? Because I feel like you are missing the entire point of the post, which is to **nerf everything**. well, since everything dumps out loads of damage, the op support from fb seems like its necessary, or else fights would last 10 sec. I cant imagine nerfs in pvp would be totally separate from wvw as well. i'm not saying it shouldn't be nerfed... just nerfed lightly or something lol. I think if all of the scrapper nerfs went into play, then it would fall out of meta, which seems to be what everyone wants. bunkers need good heals over time to be effective. notice how adaptive armor didn't change at all with the recent scrapper overhaul, the culprit was and still is bulwark gyro and to a lesser extent sneak gyro.

Alright, yes, I do mainly play Sw/d weaver. Not the boring mender's water variant you are refering to all the time tho, since I do find it excessively boring and cheesy to play. Not that there is anything wrong with that build, I just dislike it personally. And I can honestly tell you, that I dont mind dueling warriors. In fact it is one of my favorite MUs. That doesn't mean tho, that their dmg is fine necessarily (with the only counterplay to rampage is running away screaming i.e.) And if you really want to know: Im currently at ~1650 rating and since I don't precisely remember my LB ranking, you can go and look it up yourself (if you are on EU).

DonArkanio.6419 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm praying for the Nerf-all E-Specs. Seriously. Talking from a middle-plat Rev perspecitve I think you got that right. The no-defense Revenant is an excuse for the overpowered damage it deals. It just has to be toned down IMO. Playing against Power Shiro is boring, and for me playing this build myself is also boring. It's been 4 years. The issue is that Shiro provdes too much mobility so that every other legend feels lacking. But hey! Revenant isn't just the damage build in PvP, it can be a lot more, and it's usable. conclusion: - Not a single class should be able to survive against 3+ players when fighting directly - Not a single class should be able to stack 25 (insert any boon) on its own - Builds should chave actual consequences: |You go One-shot, you die one-shot | You go full tank, you deal no damage | You go hybrid, you are not able to perform great at everything | period. **What GW2 lacks in a competitive environment is trade-offs and consequences, that's all.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third, along 2018 Rev lost most of its vulnerability sources, and quickness from Impossible Odds, and none of the "buffs" it got worths a dime due the class hasn't changed the only viable build since the HoT beta. So yeah, nerf Rev even more... remove the class from PvP (just as if anyone wants a Rev in PvE, anyway). Yes. Let's get rid of Revenant and replace it with the blackguard anti-paladin it should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The no-defense Revenant is an excuse for the overpowered damage it deals. It just has to be toned down IMO. Playing against Power Shiro is boring, and for me playing this build myself is also boring. It's been 4 years. The issue is that Shiro provdes too much mobility so that every other legend feels lacking. But hey! Revenant isn't just the damage build in PvP, it can be a lot more, and it's usable. > > > > > > > > > First, the Rev is in 3.5 years old, not 4. Second, base damage of Rev without might stacks is kitten, and even with 25 the sustained damage over time is rather poor.

DoomNexus.5324 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Ye I've been saying for about a year now that everything needs to be tuned downed across the board. Because I think Anet could also balance much better when classes can't exploit well synergizing traits/skill like they often can do atm. Also huge issues with balancing sPvP in particular is that 1) Anet rather buffs underperforming stuff than actually nerfing overperforming stuff (which causes powercreep) 2) Anet almost never nerfs the one or two key skills/traits that actually cause the problem but rather nerfs some stuff that just exaggerates the problem (but sometimes has a ton of side effects and causes more issues that it tries to solve) 3) Anet most of the time doesn't split WvW and PvP (enough) which just blows my mind because they are completely different game modes.. you can't even compare 5v5 / smallscale in WvW with sPvP fights just because in WvW you got every space in the world whereas in sPvP you have to stay on-point and roam around, you don't have the same runes/sigils/equip, buff food, etc etc which drastically affects your build choice and playstyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
