This is my fear, too. I think they're doing the right thing and it'll be healthy for the game in the long run to nerf the crazy one-shotting. But to make it so players have to be GOOD in order to kill enemies rather than just run crazy one-shot builds will mean some, less skilled, people (probably me) can NEVER get revenge anymore - and that will probably drive them away.

Yes the oneshot thing is pretty annoying as it is the permastealth.But somehow Anet and people here, came to the conclusion it would be good to nerf firebrand support. Apparantly no one wants to have good fights in this game. Just quick loot. Maybe its time for WvW to die.

uh... what? xd

Actually was thinking along the same lines. They always do a major balance patch prior to new elites. And if we have new elites showing up around EP3 then this would be about the timing for it. They did say they are releasing expansion content during this LW, and elites are what expansions are about so to me this might be another indicator. Add to that the datamined icons that were elite-style icons and ....it could be. We need new elites to keep things fresh.

When did we get something as massive as this is supposed to be?

Wishful thinking imo, but wouldn't complain if I were wrong.

What icons?(nvm, you probably mean the grey weapon hexagons)

Yup to the above on the icons. Remembering balance patches prior to HoT and then again prior to PoF. I think both were stated somewhere along the lines to better define the classes role. Which after we got the HoT elites made more sense. Saw similar with PoF but people knew what that was about after HoT's pattern. Again could be overthinking this but fits the pattern.

People keep crying about power creep, too much dmg and anet not listening. Then when anet listens and decides to make a massive re-balance patch to lower the dmg (amongs other things), it's immediately seen as an expansion preparation.There won't be an expansion anytime soon (if ever), calling it now.

Also "expansion announcement before the end of the year"? It's barely january, you sure give your "prediction" a lot of wiggle room :lol:

Is "lower the dmg" something that Anet directly said as a goal for this coming balance patch, or is it your own interpretation or wish?

Why have a prediction if it doesn't have any wiggle?

You can make your own mind up after reading this:

@"Cal Cohen.2358" said:We have identified the overall power of the game has become an issue and we wish to address this in the competitive game modes.Source: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/90774/lets-talk-about-wvw-balance/p1

"the power of the game", is probably intentionally vague or the name of the power metal banger Cal was listening to when he wrote this.

I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to tell me here.

Here is the argument;If you were to consider "the overall power of the game has become an issue", what would you ponder the devs are going to do about that?

They literally said the damage will go down, I still don't know what you're trying to argue here. What point exactly are you trying to make?

They said, that dmg and healing/support will get lowered.And skills that to too much at once will be looked at.

Some things that I think will be looked at:

  • lowering all skills/traits power and healingpower coefficients
  • maybe lowering all skills/traits condiduration or amount of stacks
  • lowering skills/traits boonspam
  • skills that to to many things at once (for example pistol whip - dmg, stun, evade) will either get their power heavily reduced or some portion of the skill will be removed

But there could also be things like:

  • maximum targets reduced
  • radius reduced

No, Cal stated on the livestream that several changes to one skill count as one change.

The only time you will have perfect balance is in tic tac toe. So you are looking to remove all classes, armor, weapons, levels and skills?
