I wasn’t expecting scepter buffs, but I’ll take it. Tempest finally gets more cc on staff, so that’s nice. Fury on air overload feels like it should’ve been there already.

I wish GW2 would post more of their content on their youtube channel... contrary to the hardcore gamer bubble, not everyone who games uses twitch, infact most dont. KZfaq would reach a farm broarder audience and they hardly post anything on their channel. It always feels like poor marketing is what really holds GW2 back from being more popular most of the time.

100% this, even as someone who has played the game fairly hardcore for most of the game's life I hate watching anything on twitch. I just end up waiting for someone like Mukluk to do an overview

@eonaon6914 2 ай бұрын

I know Muk never played ele much at all but staff used to be MUCH better than todays, they nerfed the crud out of it because raids. That and nerfed fire traits so that its not useful to really be in fire for any length of time. Scepter has always been...odd. Technically useable but consistently weird.

As someone who spent a considerable amount of time as an engi main and didn't really care for elixrs. I would consider X a lot more if the amount of things you could turn into was like 10+ long. Just have us turn into wacky shit. Let us turn into a giant skritt using a statue of zommorros as a club, make it happen. Also, cheers to consistently making holo not fun to play despite being the coolest elite spec for engi. I was also already gimping myself by running sword on weaver instead of scepter. That gimping is even worse now.

@drunkenmufasa2798 2 ай бұрын

Was really hoping to see more pvp / wvw related updates within the classes; i have no issues in pve with any class. But yet in wvw/pvp there is a definite massive divide of efficiency between classes. yet the only ones to see any love in that direction are the ones already fairing very well that also need a mob to put down. very nice. They need drop the class favoritism and do some actual balancing. o7

Really wish for Harbinger, that they'd get rid of having to stand in the impact zone of your skills to get the blight buff effect. It's a horrible design and a nightmare if you use the action camera. Basically, forces you to always be in melee range no matter what weapon you use.

@josephloper3442 2 ай бұрын

i played ele hardcore at launch and recently came back after 10+ year break. back then ele was super powerful at the cost of really low hp. now it seems everything does the same amount of damage but ele hp pool still sucks. is it wrong to think they should just bump up the hp pool, why is it still so low

@megcarlton9794 Ай бұрын

A bit belated, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Inspiring Whirl change for warrior specifically. I prefer Heal Alac Bladesworn, but the loss of regeneration on staff makes it so you *have* to take Banner of Defense for regen, which is kind of a huge bummer. Berzerker can easily upkeep it with warhorn, which bladesworn doesn't have access too, lol, because we need staff, obvs. I can't imagine why they'd move the regen for a straight heal?

@addamhall8214 Ай бұрын

Direct healing is just more consistently useful, especially since you’ll be auto attacking a decent amount with staff, you’ll get more healing overall instead of just stacking duration of a somewhat weak regen. Warrior also doesn’t have any traits that add any benefits to applying regen like Rev, Engi, or Ranger. This will help with those low health or scramble situations especially I think where the extra direct healing on top of other staff skills will ensure that everybody is topped off quicker. Plus with the banner castspeed changes I don’t think it will be as bad of an option (It’s no tactics banner but it’ll let you cast it more reactively)

@megcarlton9794 Ай бұрын

@@addamhall8214that’s all very true! I think you’re right it’ll be overall better I just dislike having my utilities locked, lol, especially since Warrior has so many great options. So even if it were overall better for healing, I’d still rather the regen if only so I don’t have to either take the banner or deal with people complaining I don’t have it. The easiest fix would just be giving bladesworn a weapon swap but that isn’t happening, alas.

@addamhall8214 Ай бұрын

@@megcarlton9794 honestly I’d like if they gave normal burst to bladesworn when out of gunsaber but make it cost some of your flow (maybe 3 bullets for a level 1 burst). If it were like that, we’d gain a ton of useful cc bursts and we’d still keep regen from staff burst or something haha

@megcarlton9794 Ай бұрын

@@addamhall8214 oh shit that would be cool! I love that fix, honestly. The CC and regen would be fabulous. And that’s only adding a single skill and not five, like a weapon swap would. Well, it’s fun to wish for, though I doubt they’d add it. Maybe if I’m very patient…lol

@methanbreather 2 ай бұрын

Harbinger needed nerfs in wvw - and gets buffs. Wilbender needed to be beaten to a bloody pulp by the nerfhammer - and nothing. Obviously, the balance team has no clue about wvw. Or does not care if their pet classes overperform. Signet of Humility: this was an issue for ages. But rumours say that this was only changed, because a gvg com who is close to anet complained about it.

@UmeII 2 ай бұрын

Here's the truth about WvW balancing: The current balance team considers roaming and fights between 2-6 people irrelevant. The only correct way to play WvW is zerging and the only correct way to do that is boonball. Look at their balancing through this lense and the changes make sense.

@OldTime--Gamer 2 ай бұрын

year and a half ago they were concetrating every patch around wvw and efdd scrapper to oblivion nit being fun anymore. now these ppl are new hires and have no clue what the previous people did. so gw2 is becoming more annoying and unfun. almost already stopped playing.

@MrDraehl 2 ай бұрын

I appreciate all the balance work, but wish they would finally do something with the elite slot for builds that just don't have an appealing choice. (Maybe an unpopular opinion? IDK) Maybe add 1 more core elite skill or give the option to just slot a utility skill into the elite slot. Unforseen balance issues with the latter option, I'm sure...
