Bazsi.2734 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Here is a subjective list of things that annoy me, reading up on them isn't required(concealing restoration already has a 1 second duration my dood), post comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonNee.5128 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 good suggestions but i also suggest to buff sustain a little more and not just nerf dmg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kachros.4751 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Flashbang blind duration reduced to 1 second This doesnt change the fact it has consisant blind output after every dodge, jus nerfing the duration is pointless, the best approach is to rework the trait instead of making it either useless or not addressing the issue at all.

Tycura.1982 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 EE and Flashbang I'm all onboard for but the other stuff seems really out if the blue.Sevenshot?If you're going to pick and choose you should at least conceal it or make an effort to pick off stuff that is questionable as well like guardian's symbol damage traits, lich autos, skills with Condi bloat like x applies four conditions on use, boon bloat like aurasharing, skills similar to save yourselves, and holo's might stacking. There's so much out there worth taking pot shots at than a lackluster renegade skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevenshot Shiro(impossible odds) is insane burst that does ~12k burst with a single skill. The skills team "fixed" sevenshot and made it more accurate but CmC forgot to nerf it in PvP/WvW to make up for this huge damage boost it gained.

Anecdotally I don't encounter the build in ranked nor did I in this last MAT. I could see how a multi hit skill would have strong synergy with the renegade elite or Impossible Odds but wouldn't these mechanics be the problem then? By itself what does the skill actually hit?

Multicolorhipster.9751 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 We need the skills team in all honesty if they're the only ones capable of actually changing skills. What is the point in having a trait that applies an effect for 0 seconds, or a CD that takes 1/3-1/2 of entire matches to reset? Just rework the skill if its that much of a problem.Lowering damage coefficients, increasing cooldowns, and straight up removing options without introducing any new options is boring and it translates poorly to actual games.It's the most uninspired and absolute way to nerf a skill that might be 'over-performing' and only a sith deals in absolutes.⬇️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Let's not kid ourselves, it's not.)Flashbang: Reduced blind duration from 2 seconds to 1.5 seconds in PvP only.Hidden Thief: Reduced base stealth duration from 2 seconds to 0.25 seconds in PvP only.Concealing Restoration: Reduced base stealth duration from 1 second to 0.5 seconds in PvP only.Apart from the values not being what you suggested, these are the only things in the patch that are meaningless. Looking forward to your next "nerf thief" thread when you realise nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice instead of once is because there is a delay between first few arrows and last few which makes it easier to dodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They removed the section of the trait that increased symbol radius. It is presumed that the latest patch didn't require the skills team either. I say just remove the blind aspect.
