Exalted Quality.8534 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 laughing at all the people that think they know how to balance holo...nerf sustain, nerf dmg, nerf cc, nerf all core traits....really?? the change to photon wall is fine, but heat therapy should remain as is. if you decide to nerf heat therapy, passive portion of healing signet should be nerfed too as some have already stated. can we talk about why firebrands aren't on the chopping block? the combination of dmg, support, aegis, weakness, immob, and cc can be just as oppressive (if not more so) than fighting a tools holo.

Naw the team needs to increase thief skills dps so they can actually burst without backstabbing and actually act like a rogue class maybe as a counter balance remove some of the hard cc on the kit. Also cherry picking a possible build that picks all skills with hard cc can be done on literally every spc/class. A lot of people don't use palm strike, distracting daggers etc. In their builds for example lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arheundel.6451 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 @"Cal Cohen.3527" Can we get some kind of "hint" about the major shake up in mind? Class mechanic changes?

Their iteration of rampage will be garbage and still be more useful than their other elites. It's great rampage keeps its cc potential but means little when its autos and one other skill are the only damage follow up options lol plus with condi pressure so high these days the fact ur licked out of all ur cleansing utilities was a decent drawback. The coefficients could have been dropped 30% and call it a day and focus on other op specs like fb etc. Such large coefficients alterations never end well and just end up with further fixes wasting more time.

He's right you know, Firebrand is being stacked very commonly in coordinated groups, Fire Weaver potential as dominant side node looking bright as well, I have no problem with that but they shouldn't be dismissed.

Agree that change to rampage will not end well. Now my first char in Gw2 was a warrior 2013 and I've seen what happens when anet decides to ruin the spec and over-nerf it. It ends up collecting dust in the char selection for a year or two until Anet starts giving it some love again. The class is extremely telegraphed so the cc it has is not even enough against really competent players there's simply to much evade/dodge ability's paired with easy get out any situation tricks to get CC stun locked to death if you have any decency to actually evade some of the '' must dodge ability's / evade ability's'' As of such with this damage nerf coming up I will personally re-roll for a uncertain amount of time until the buffs arrives. This is a smiter's boon patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt be scared for firebrand because gurdian's base kit is strong. They could effectively nerf the heck out of only the firebrand line and it would still do fine because the base it sits ontop of ifs one of the most if not the most solid ideal situation that a core profession should be in. A few others are close like warrior and ranger. But in terms of balanced guardian at its core is near perfect always has strengths and weaknesses based on how / what you build. But what ever you build into is always very effective. You should be worried for firebrand only if they start over nerfing the core aspects of guardian and not firebrand itself which is where most of the issues are. In relation to fire weaver its more so balancing the damage with the evades properly a big issue right now is skill that either do a ton of damage and hard cc at the same time or skills/combs that allow a person to strike while being safe with evades.

The Ace.9105 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 > @"Cal Cohen.2358" said: > **Rampage** > Rampage has been overperforming since the initial change that brought its cooldown to 90 seconds, and continues to with the cooldown at 120 seconds. Rather than just bumping up the cooldown again, we’re looking to address an underlying issue: hard CC skills also doing large amounts of damage. This is something that we’re looking to do across the board for the future update, and we see Rampage as a good opportunity to see the idea in action. > > * Rampage skills have been adjusted as follows > + Kick: Power coefficient reduced from 1.2 to 0.01 in PvP only > + Throw Boulder: Power coefficient reduced from 2.0 to 0.01 in PvP only > + Seismic Leap: Power coefficient reduced from 1.6 to 0.01 in PvP only Nice. Notice a problem just like 100 years too late and then make decent fixes to the skill that should have been done when the problems initially started. Now we have the fix coming but another question is: what the frick is taking so long with it?!?!?! C'mon Anet Step up your game and start actually acting!

Klypto.1703 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 It would make it approachable to do pvp again if it wasn't just some spam fest that is why I stopped doing it when HoT came out it only got worse as PoF came out too. Not to mention they need to just get rid of the condi spamming too bad enough in pvp and even worse in wvw. Only reason wvw can even be done with all that condi spam is that firebrands and scrapper tome and med kit spamming out cleanses. Not much skill involved just whoever doesn't get skill lagged out wins lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
