Chronomancer got stripped of everything (even it's identity), and Anet just refuses to give it back. Back in Path of Fire I would hardly see a Chronomancer at all because of Firebrigade being buffed so much it would just over perform compared to Chronodruid and now in End of Dragons I'm the only chrono I've seen still trying to play one of the support roles (I still see a DPS chrono here and there, but they are not even that many). And every time I look at a patch notes, I feel I'm being given the middle finger for playing a profession that was only absolute meta in the past because of the lack of choices.

You are forgetting the 3rd game mode which will still have 3 charges of the mantra: PvP. Also, until other classes can provide as much stability as guardian, nobody gonna drop it for another unless they no longer want to be support. Even with 1 less charge on mantra of liberation, it still the highest stability provider by far.

The same way chronos always had to play in that scenario: Tossing it on your allies feet. /shrug

Maybe they are changing it because it's a fire and forget skill that does too much? Shield of Absorption (Guardian Shield 5) have a similar funcion of creating a character centric dome that blocks projectiles. However, it does not provide stability (which you can argue it doesn't really matter since we are talking about Guardian) and also keeps the Guardian locked in the channeling animation, preventing it from using any other skill with cast time without breaking the bubble. Defense Field is not only better, but it also have a lower CD (25, opposed to 30) while allowing the Scrapper to still use other skills (which problably gonna be pumping healing with that med-blaster). That said, I don't think this change is the correct move... In fact, I'm not sure why they wanted to make this one ground targeted along with the gyros in the first place (It's a tool belt skill, not a gyro)... But since the Gyros won't be ground targeted, it's obvious something will be hit on their place, and Defense Field is the scapegoat here (along ith the Sneaky Gyro nerf).

I don't think they even used any resources on that... Or did people forget that Scrapper Gyros were originally ground targeted back on Heart of Thorns? The "reason" behind the revert of this proposed change leaves a bad taste in my mouth though... They want to keep the uniquess of the skills for the class. Meanwhile my class, which also have wells, only have a bad copy-paste of Necromancer wells while having half of their power locked in the last tick which is very unlikely to ever hit anything that moves... And to add insult to the injury, Prime Light Beam gets it's damage back while Gravity Well, which literally have written on it's tooltip "When it expires, foes still inside the well take Heavy Damage", does not. Oh don't even get me started on that Thematic of the class thing... I'm still upset that as a master of time and space, I cannot give both of the time/space altering boons (Alacrity and Quickness) without having to slot a 120s CD stationary elite skill. Most of other specs are better versed on giving those than the class that was entirely themed on it.

I feel I'm being spit on the face for playing Chronomancer instead of Mirage... At least Soulbeast finally got some nerfs.

nah mate... sit at the top of the arena and knock people back to the start with Banish depending on match ups that place could be a blast.. sometimes entire guilds were protecting server mates or killing pugs in there. I remember when you could even build siege on that damn thing... Oh, the dark days...

Yeah... It's all fun and games for a bit but any seasoned player will prefer his own utilities over a set of "relatively random" stuff in the end of the day

Can we link Darkhaven with Blackgate next time?

Was not high enough, or was not high enough to ignore the updraft mechanics? Was not high enough at all. We did updrafts to get to 33% without issues. We are literally talking new players who went into raids for the first time (and some without T4 fractal experience) . One with only condi Mirage, etc. This was a relaxed raid guild run to introduce people to both the guild and raids. This guild is more of a welcome all friendly players type guild. Oh ok... It was a legit question because people think is a Sin doing mechanics nowadays...

Was not high enough, or was not high enough to ignore the updraft mechanics?

The description says: "Activate the Crystalline Heart and defeat Deimos in the Bastion of the Penitent." Did the Deimos fight today with the Crystalline Heart buff. Didn't even got downed through the whole fight and didn't got credit for it. Yes, I'm pretty sure I had the Crystalline Heart buff on since I was making sure to put it up after each try. Am I missing something?

You know what's the real bad place to be? 2nd place in T1...

Try farm it with the character that is the profession of the collection... The ones from PoF require you to do certain stuff on the specific profession, maybe it was passed over.

Not my favorite but definetely a classic everyone must have heard at least once: Tzark: "See? This is why we need a cohesive plan. People just wander in here and get attacked."Detha Tremblebones: "No one's arguing about the need for a plan. Your plan is just stupid and won't work."Hodgins: "Don't mind them. Come with me. We have a Priory base of operations set up nearby."

100-300 is okay... I know some people who play an average of 600 games per season. But over 3000 games per season? That's definetely not okay. If you take the average game time of 10 minutes and 5 minute queues, you have a person with 3000 games playing for about 750 hours a season. That's a little over 31 days NON-STOP.

lolwut? Are you playing the same game we are? Most players on NA seem to be there to dodge fights and backcap empty structures. Man you definitely must not be on the SoS server. The only people I know in the three wvw guilds I'm in spend most of their time looking for fights... and capping only when there's not much else to do.SoS looking for fights... Where is my omegalul emoji?

Then you just rotate shield generators inside the tower and completely prevent all treb shots from ever reaching the wall... Yay!There is no counter siege since Shield Gens were implemented. You only lose a sieged T3 structure if you don't have siege monkeys defenders these days.

People played the game for years without tactics and suddenly having their tactics on cooldown are the end of the world...

I just go around and kill people...Sometimes I'm being 1vX'ed, sometimes I'm the one doing the Xv1. At the end of the day, the only thing that matter is if I was having fun or not.

Oh, you mean like a Staff Ele can do with Meteor Shower while contributing more to a zerg fight?

If the jewels were tradeable maybe people would problably still do them for profit... Considering they are not exactly a common drop, they would problably be selling for about the same value as a Intact Mosaic which is also another thing with a super low drop rate.

I've killed Tequatl thousand of times, I've only dropped ONE hoard.

Are you talking about that arena in the heart of the mists? You'll problably have better luck looking for people on dueling servers for that... That arena is always a mess and it's free game.
