The homogenizing of giving everyone viable quick and alac application is getting a bit out of hand. Scourge is a viable support, sure not on all fights and in every group, but the revival rate is scourges unique way to become viable. I like that Anet is trying to make everything viable and playable, but I feel like they're forgetting to keep everything unique and fresh. However, the changes to quick for herald feel much more in line with what Herald is supposed to be. Really excited to try this out!

Btw, someone probably already mentioned it, but what happens to Radiance > Renewed Justice? Do you now just get a page for killing an enemy or will it reset cooldowns from Virtue Tome?

Very hyped for these changes! They're looking really solid. Stoic Demeanor, Quickfire, Loremaster changes with the tomes sharing pages is really cool! More pDPS and cDPS updates for Herald, oh yeah! 😄 Few things I'm still missing though: - Revenant/Herald: Moved Quickness from Dragonic Echo to Shared Empowerment. - Elementalist/Tempest: Lucid singulariy: Pulse out Alacrity with overloads instead of on finishing an overload.

Very good stream and document! Keep up the great communication 🙂

Great changes! Really like the warrior revisit and soulbeast petswap. After last patch I was a bit fearful for the GW2 direction, but with CMC at tye wheel I really look forward to see november patch. (Great stream btw!!) However, scrapper well changes, maybe make a trait to have your gyros have the wells on you? So the wells function like they do now? Old topic, but I would still love to see herald quickness changed to something more thematic than "when you consume". Feels bad imo. Keep up the great communication and I hope to see more of this! ❤

This was a hotfix afterall. I guess maybe in the future they could introduce alac during an overload or some other mechanics.

Love the fast reaction. It still doesn't make herald a meta option, but it is a bandaid for a future patch. And a highly appreciated one.🥰

Power herald before patch did 28k dps. Power herald after patch does 24k dps. I was thinking with damage coefficients and forceful persistance being buffed, herald was getting some validation. But the CD increases have killed my boy even more.. Reducing the cooldowns, even if only in pve, would be a good start. More dps, more quickness if u DE and the build will feel smoother to play. I feel like quickness should be applied while a dragic echo is ongoing or on applying a boon. This consume to get quickness feels so out of place...

Instead of increasing quickness, what about lowering cooldowns. This way you get more dps, the build feels less clunky and you get quickness more often.

I would love to see alacrity while overloading. It is soo punishing if you fail an overload. My suggestion would be to do this like the signet of courage on guard, small channeled pulses and then on finishing a big pulse of alac. Rewarding finishing the overload, but not punishing if something comes inbetween.

I honestly really like this. It would give room for dragonic echo, as it applies boons for an additional 6 seconds, or u pick forceful persistance in exchange for probably more boon duration and when you want to heal herald, pick elevated compassion.

Was super hyped for this release, actually thought the missions were going to be meta events in the old maps, not instances that don't allow squads..The missions take too long, boring without mechanics and not rewarding. Steel hum all over again.. The volcanic weapons are more cloud than skin and again just a recolor of an existing weapon with some effects on top. Crystal bloom axe looked sick in trailer, like an elven executioner axe. While in-game it's a woodchopper axe.. Overall, the update felt like copy and paste with a lot of potential but wrong execution.. :s
