Seems like soulbeast is the main outlier not touched upon as of yet. Maybe Anet has it on target for the next profession overhaul, since the original design favors very strong damage modifiers meant for a dumb pet, not for the ranger itself, thus, soulbeast breaks this design and has issues.

Come on. Arc Divider was ridiculous though. It was hittting for 10k+ x3 in a huge aoe every 5 or 6 seconds, while moving.. It probably still hits for a ton.

I guess. It really depends on how long other specs remain busted. If everything comes down to where it needs to be I don't mind a damage shave.

These were nerfs that were half correct.

Nerfing scrapper sustain makes sense, but feels like they didn't really touch the bigger problem which is the barrier generation. It also looks like they only nerfed the contribution, which means this change will do little.

Nerfing Rev damage makes sense, but hitting things like roiling mists does not. Revs meta build hasn't changed much since it was F-tier and back then it actually had even better might stack generation. What changed was Notoriety got buffed to give rev 250 extra power for free, so the more sensible nerf would be to just revert the buff to Notoriety and call it good.

Firebrand is currently overtuned and got a free pass.

Herald got the offhand sword buffs, it was less that it was F tier and more that the meta around it prevented it from excelling. Kind of like how Volcarona is a top tier Pokemon and still is, but during the X&Y era when everyone and their mother were running Gale Wings Talonflame it just struggled to find a foothold. Once condi was no longer the primary damage type nothing was holding them back.

Berserker will still spam out 3 differet one shot arc dividers against everything thats not a scrapper in the span of about 5 seconds. Arc divider is hitting for 2-3x the health of most builds in the game. A 25% nerf isnt stopping that.

because in common sense, in serious 5v5 match, i don't believe people would take condition mesmer over power mesmer, because no matter how busted condition mesmers are, often enough, the build doesnt cap point and you have weaver, scrapper, spellbreaker for the side node fighter job to compete with (and power mesmer is better at picking weak enemy off). so that's how one spec can be bad yet busted at the same time.

i can see that you are very angry, tormented and irrational with your judgment

once again, i never said nerfing berserker damage was bad, but nerfing damage without giving anything at all, render the spec useless, because it has nothing but damage.also, not exactly, a weakness applied warrior one shot no one, also blind. and CC, and weaver spamming evade when they see warrior glow red can be completely unharmed. literally crippling a warrior can make you avoid half of the damage by walking

i can see that you are very angry, tormented and irrational with your judgmentIrrationally would be to keep bs like rampage unnerfed to the ground and buff holo more which anet sucessfuly does. Probably next year, may be.because in common sense, i don't believe people would take condition mesmer over power mesmer, because no matter how busted condition mesmers are, often enough, the build doesnt cap point and you have weaver, scrapper for the side node fighter job to compete with. so it is bad yet can be busted at the same time.Forum is the only place where you find specimen that say bad/undeperforming spec is busted,need a nerf and even tell something about irrational judgement...
