Timer is part of the CM, its there to stop people from bringing 10 full Nomad geared people that can afk through 90% of the mechanics.

yeah like idk why everything has to be so sterile these days. let people try and fail and do things, and learn to organize etc.

love the people going through each comment to confused react like its their job. guys its just 1 objective that you can skip, and its a good thing to use the game's incentive system to encourage people to do content - especially if the population of players doing that content is still growing

such a well thought post, but i am going to have to confused react sorry because 'blue class' or whatever

Dont nerf rev gs lol just dont make Elevated Compassion concentration bonus so cracked. Pure power dps rev is barely relevant

2 more weeks of abusing scourge 😍

I hate that anet is literally forcing me to delete my char with 6 legendary runes and stealing my money. Unfair!

>Game has already considerable powercreep thanks to these boons. This is most noticeable in strikes or even some OW meta events (e.g. Dragon's Stand). Ok knowing that devs do not or cannot do much to handle current powercreep, your solution is to just give up and add more with baseline boons. >As boon dps you are already playing dps while providing boons off cooldown, the way this is implemented is also very often not exactly fun/interactive to play This is a matter of designing these specs to be more interactive - which they are making an active effort in the coming patch. >Boons themselves also promote this mindless stacking in order to effectively provide boons/heals for every person, certain mechanics can be pretty much ignored thanks to this and everyone just performs his perfect rotation.This might sound fun to you, but I find it literally opposite of what GW2 combat is about. There has never been a time where gw2 was not about stacking. Even before quickness and alac were proper boons you stacked - cuz your heals are in aoe around you, you wanted to stack behind corners to LoS enemies and have them pile up nicely, melee weapons were designed to be stronger than ranged pre HoT in general, you would need to be near allies to rez them and you still had boons such as might and fury that was again shared aoe around you. But please tell me otherwise what gw2 combat was about before quick and alac. >People are already screeching in a bloody IBS strikes if you don't have quickness and alacrity covered.This whole boon fiesta is also seeping into OW as well, very few people wants to organize group for Dragons End if the quick/alac is not covered at least partially, simply because of risk of failure.If the devs literally state that game feels bad to play without these boons and they are actively balancing the professions around these two boons, your argument is ultimately invalid if the devs themselves wants us to play their content with these boons. I dont see anything surprising with people being accustomed to something and shaping their groups and gameplay around this. You really think if alac and quick was removed something else would not be demanded? People would not have things that they cant play without? People would not find anything else to complain? This is just an imagined problem imo.

I feel like 0 thought is put behind most suggestions here. Like lets take the 'make quick and alac baseline' suggestion. Let us assume that devs will be able to handle the MASSIVE increase in powercreep that follows, and also manages to not totally kill the previous specs/builds that gave these boons so they play as dps or something. You would be reducing the number of non-dps roles in each sub by only 1, cuz healers in each subgroup will likely still be popular. You would not be helping comp diversity at all. By making these boons baseline, you also reduce gameplay complexity a fair bit as it is not a given that a boon support will be able to perfectly maintain their boons in actual scenarios. GG If you don't like alac or quick roles in your squad, and feel others have the same sentiment, make your own group instead of trying to overhaul the game with no regard to feasibility and the dev effort required or making gw2 a copy of whatever game you migrated from.

Doesnt help reaper players' experience within pugs either lol

Just to be clear everyone in squad was aware that you had masterwork gear and was okay with you competing with druids in dps?

Happy 6 month anniversary of bug

Imagine comparing class balance to systematic racism Delete this post and touch not just some grass but an entire forest please

Herald is pog, 39k estimated bench post patch It doesnt help that every spec that was listed above is currently dunking on Reaper, while not being necessarily any less survivable

idk why this thread is getting so much traction anyway, decimate defenses and valkyrie combo isnt novel to begin with. doubt op spent half as much time making/testing this build as some people have writing their comments here my bait senses are tingling
