Thanks for update.Quote:
I do not agree with absolutely any of the changes they have done ( primarily necro ) and think the ammo system is dumb. I do not avidly play the game anymore since WvW died and spvp is full of the same idiotic no-brainer builds/classes but with 15k+ hours on my main account and about 13k of that being pure spvp/wvw I can say they are doing the same thing they did with HoT an planning to beef up the PoF specializations while nerfing the old meta which is forcing people to get the expansion to even do anything remotely viable.
Updated in the main post btw.
And yeah I couldn't agree more, they unilaterally nerfed everything to make the new elite specs in the pipeline seem more powerful by comparison, i was kind of stunned when I read that they flat out neutered ALL condi damage and ALL boon duration foods... wow.
I haven't read to deeply into the changes to necro just yet, but I am really disturbed by how they warrior has been gutted, yet again, and how they nerfed the hell out of ele, "just so it won't be best in class... in every situation" I think they meant in ANY situation now lol.
Hell they even nerfed Guardian staff 1... cutting the range in HALF... to ensure its all but useless now.
I REALLY hope this new expansion brings a whole lot of cool gameplay mechanics to the table, to compensate for the many many builds that are now substantially gimped.
These sort of ham-fisted, nerf-fest updates tend to kill off my excitement for the game and often result in me migrating to something else for long periods of time.
Any suggestions?
Anyways, I don't want to turn this into a vent rant, but I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone in my displeasure with these dumb nerfs. :D
Thanks again plox, for the quick update, and input, now it's time to go unf some jumping puzzles until I feel vindicated :p
