Indeed. This was the only source of fury for power mirage/chrono/mesmer. These balance team are absolutely worthless and show'd again they don't know their own game.

"We were happy to see positive feedback around the weapon"

Moa is a buff.

It's not. Power chrono is going to be deleted in wvw, support chrono will take a huge blow too.

And chrono. Regarding virt they'll get there too.

Pve and wvw are split balance wise. So you can totally nerf cele on wvw without touching pve.

That's the thing about mmo. If something becomes dominating it gets nerfed. Cele has been so oppressive that most of the professions use it. But that is on MMOs with competent balance teams, so cele users can calm down.

As a mesmer main I can explain their reasoning. Step 1 - buff skill/trait X Step 2 - nerf skill/trait Y Z A B using the reasoning that X made it too good. Step 3 - nerf skill/trait X I mean, look at mirage dodge, every trait and skill got nerfed because mirage dodge was too good, then mirage dodge was nerfed into one dodge and then when it got "buffed" into two dodges again several more nerfs came with the reasoning we have to nerf something in order to give the dodge back. None of the previous nerfs were reverted.

As helpful as someone saying cele requires more skill to play than zerker.

People give to much credit to zergs, average zergling/zerg commander is dumb af. I've setup a dozen of these portals behind enemy zerg, getting out of choke points where our zerg was getting rekt, etc, only two or three people go through the portal. And of course our whole zerg gets killed.

I've been saying this since he was hired. They should try to get Izzy back.

Is this for real? Zerker - you make a mistake you die. You fail your burst you have to survive with no passive defenses for X time until you can burst again. Cele - you make a mistake, no biggie, you can make a bunch more due to the huge amount of sustain and sustain damage, heck you can even 1vx easily. Just play fresh air ele and cele ele and say which one requires a brain.

The only thing WR has made for me is making me even miss Fenix, and everyone on SFR knows how annoying and silly he is.

Cele armor/trinkets have ~1950 more stats than 4 stats armor/trinkets. And glass cannons are the ones that need to sacrifice something.

1 - Delete +10 stats on kill sigils. 2 - Every sigil become pure stats upgrade. 3 - Release something akin to relics to replace sigil effects and call it new content.

This is what pisses me off. As I said in the balance thread, these nerfs affect even more power chrono than the build they're targetting. Even a dartboard kind of balance would get more kitten right than 🤡M🤡.

Split Second: Increased the cooldown from 12 seconds to 15 seconds in WvW only. Improved Alacrity: Reduced the alacrity recharge speed from 50% to 35% in WvW only. Flow of Time: Reduced the alacrity per clone from 1.5 seconds to 0.75 seconds in WvW only. Seize the Moment: Reduced the quickness per clone from 1 second to 0.75 seconds in WvW only. You know who will be more kittened up by these? Power Chrono. As usual you try to nerf build X but rekt Y instead.

That bias against mesmer showing off again.

It's speculated that ANerf is helping NCsoft with the horizon mmo. But prior to that when ANerf tried to abandon the game they were working on a Dune mmo, before NCsoft forced them to work on gw2 again (at the time of the massive layoffs), and this was semi confirmed due to some ANerf artists having dune related work on their portfolio.

Rifle's only good skill is the blast one. Apart from that is trash. Either too long to hit/activate or too useless. Even the kittening autos are slowpokes. But whatever, if people are happy with this useless garbage let em be.

Dude is just mad he can't pig squeal like at 4:09.

@CafPow.1542 Well, it's your opinion and it's fine, imo a tradeoff is you lose X you gain y. Not you lose X and gain y z a b in return. Regarding the "little nerf" cele doesn't need a little one. Full cele has around 1950 more stats than full 4 stats. It has around 500 less stats than major or primary stats (which in terms of power and condi can make up due to the ease of 25 might stack) but on minor or secondary the difference is so small it's negligible. The nerf it warrants is at least 30% and that's being generous.

It's that even a tradeoff? Let's take marauder for a example and compare with cele. You don't deal as much power damage, in trade you deal way more condi damage, you've way more tankiness, you can heal heaps more, you can stack boons easily and have longer boon duration. A tradeoff is I take x off and I gain y in return.

What's the cele tradeoff? It's not the build, it's the armor quantity of stats which amounts for ~50% more than any other gear stats and it's so obnoxious that it became bis to most professions, which in turn became monkey brain skill level.

A couple? There's a lot more condi cleanse than a "couple". Smothering is not the only reliable one. I already pointed that. This thread is about celestial, not fresh air. Fresh air is fine, at least requires a brain to operate and are far from unkillable.
