Justine.6351 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I see alot of tears about dodge spam so I thought maybe with people stacking endurance gain/regen, it was time for a rework.Endurance regen capped at +50%all endurance regen traits and food, and endurance granting sigils and runes be converted to vigor boon instead.Dodging always removes cripple but cripple removal causes vigor to be lost.Gaining vigor removes weakness. Weakness removes vigor.Endurance gain traits and skills left as is with individual skill rebalance as found necessary.Idk just my thoughts.

Nuka Cola.8520 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I wouldn't want that. With the insane power creep one shots in wvw, less dodges is more respawning for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bq pd.2148 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 since when are tears a reason to balance?the 2 main offenders according to the other thread are thief and mesmer, both classes that rely on active damage mitigation. this change would make investment into evades pointless so they would invest rather in a little mobility and especially into stealth, because that are their options. do you think with more stealth play instead of dodge there will be less tears? do other classes get their options of mitigating damage efficiently get nerfed as well?

Vigor and endurance regen is a tiny tiny part of the boon powercreep that throws them around like free candy. Just look at any "fight group" and they literally live by their permanent 10 boons. Or classes that can stack 25 might alone (all can do that).This idea nerfs the active part of GW2 combat, something that defines the game, while ignoring the passive part of it that's pure powercreep.

DemonSeed.3528 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I think boons are more of a problem, this food is more of a niche play and limited as most everyone else uses other foods so it is a lesser concern than the other things that are causing bigger problems.

Blocki.4931 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hard disagree that any of the stuff needs changing. I'm all for adding a bit more interaction outside of boon corruption/condi cleansing though. Just flavor wise I would very much enjoy these proposed changes.

Justine.6351 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 I see some verbiage about dodging as active play. Let me explain something to those in question,Endurance is designed to slowly regenerate into a capped pool. This is to encourage TIMED dodges to evade important attacks. There is nothing "active" about blanket dodging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to dodge repeatedly without being punished isn't "active" as much as being capable of chaining your defensives. And mesmer and thief both have huge uptime of that; without much "active" skill. There isn't much difference between spamming out boons, conditions, damage or dodges. Energy sigils are still absolutely broken too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage spamming defensives while vomitting condies all over the place? Thieves spamming dodges while hard-hitting spike damage in between? Firebrands rolling around the place healing players while blocking, absorbing and outhealing anything that remains. Hell; my DPS staff weaver has what... 2 dodges, energy sigil for a third, 2x stance cantrip / dodge / superspeed / stunbreak, blink, an invuln, a dodge on weapon, by then another 2 dodges from recharge and p high vigor uptime ... :trollface: . But it's a goddamn pure DPS build which can literally evade for nearly 5 seconds straight without using mistform or blink... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great assumtion. When someone mentions 1 shots, its clearly because he gets one shotted. When someone complains about stealth, its clearly because he has trouble against stealth builds.
