Now it is worthless. ArenaNet has admitted to looking at metabattle as part of their balance decisions. Downvote this thing so they no longer consider it.

Ivantreil.3092 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Aaand, it got archived, Chaith's new build is now taking the Core spot of the build, hopefully Scourge gets a nerf next Balance patch, that damn elite is holding us so badly.

Obtena.7952 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 This thread is funny ... you think Anet makes specific changes because of ratings on metabattle? Anet staff knows it exists, just like any good company that keeps tabs of it's online presence. What do you hope to accomplish by attempting to wipe out data they can use to change the game ... are you of the opinion that if you wipe out the right things, you get the buffs you want? Pretty sure the correlation there is zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the correlation there is zero. It is obsolete, and should not inform anybody's decision on balance. Not sure why that escapes you.

There are better sites now.and why is that? you do know most builds from meta battle help other formulate their own builds down the road because metabattle pretty much gives us a solid foundation on whats decent/solid to use? It also helps a majority of new players get a better feel on a class without getting stomped on with crap they might not even know what works/doesn't work.

Meta is a good place to start and then you grow from that. Most Meta builds I have tried just do not suit my needs so I change it up with different traits or a different trait line or maybe some runs and sigils I can afford. I started an Engy and rune of durability???? Yeah I ain't blowing that kind of gold on a toon I am not only new to and learning but something I may not keep.
