Yeah well you can’t dodge any wombo combo coming from stealth. In this particular scenario, stealth is the problem. there are, no doubt, situations where you just sit there and take it to the face like a good boi. For example, i heard willys like this relic somewhere. They are not coming from stealth. You would try to dodge that wouldn’t you?

We sometimes have 1-2 scouts exclusively for bay and they would get no participation. but since we are in a raid, those volunteers get the participation-thingy from the raid so yay. also they get some gold from others extra sometimes for the gratitude ^^ but that’s ofc raid / zerg specific. Otherwise yeah, flip a camp or a ruin quick to remain t6 every few minutes.

That’s kinda the perfect example of something you wanna dodge. what else do you wanna dodge? An autohit?

I am always baffled when people don’t call who, what, where and how many. you guys drive a car? When we want do get our driving licence we have to absolve some first responder lessons first like how do you do cor, how do you stabilize somebody who had an accident etc. you also learn there what you have to say in a 911-call. Exactly that. what is there, how many injured, where, who are you etc. this is important info.

And i feel like a lot of players play ele cause they like how it plays and they like it to be a little more apm / skillusage than other classes. And making it something else would destroy that for those. now who of us is correct? We don’t know. But rerolling means „my skill isn’t red but green now“ while the other one would mean that some players have nothing else left cause everything is the same. whoever of us is correct, we don’t know but the argument about „we have to press so many buttons“ is, always was and forever will be silly nonsense. /edit PS: i am not saying pistol is fine tho. It can be bad nevertheless. But „i have to press many buttons“ will never be the reason for a bad ele-weapon. Other factors are.

This is what i was thinking aswell as a good and easy solution. Can’t be good and easy tho. Maybe if we were guardians but we ain’t.

This really never gets old huh? reroll then? >“nooo i’d rather wanna make ele like the others reee!“

Just give guardians boon corrupt and they will destroy the current meta. Can’t nerf guardians.

But is it tho? let‘s stick to that example. U have a skill with 30 seconds cd vs 24 sec with alac. the fight takes 1 minute and 5 seconds, then you destroyed the other zerg. How much more could you spam the skill with alac? alac gets stronger the longer fights take. In wvw mist fights rarely last that long. It can occure but might, fury, prot, stab, vigor etc are way stronger compared to alac in pve imo.

I onow what we have already and what we will get. I don’t want sword. I want GS to have mobility. call me crazy but the emo-fantasy of cutting myself with the sword „mechanic“ doesn’t satisfy me at all. But that’s another topic.

You missed the point impressively.

1) bugs 2) exploits 3) thieves (jk they are not that awful) 4) no real counter to boonballs. (Good clouding can be but….) 5) ehh… a new map would be nice

I would like a dash or something on it tho. Like the 3 could be a leap forward. That would be awesome. not like it makes necro super op it would just be very nice. besides that i use it a lot in wvw. The pull is nice.

My jackal skin is always a super cute fox and since there is nothing against a auper cute fox i can only support that. Well i too would like a new map tho it’s a lot of work but it’s cool if devs read our silly ideas 🙂

But most fights i play are over quite quick. There is zero use of alac in those situations. Idc if i have no alac.

But instead of alac there are other boons that will be put out like crazy and imo stronger ones. this change is a joke.

Yes this would be the next step, and for pve aswell btw. Not having everything up always and forever would feel more impactful. (Ofc one would need to tune down raids a bit but anyways). stack up offensive boons for the burst window? prepare for the incoming damage by providing temporary defense boons? nah let’s just have a 100% uptime of everything and their mom, sounds fun to meeeee…. yeah no. I agree with you, but that would even be a step further and IF we would have that boon-situation where they are only up sometimes, i would honestly get some tuning / nerfing for booncorruption. but as it is now? Nope.

But that would be weird anyways. All the changes seem to be weird concerning boonball. anet doesn’t want boonball to go away. Cause there is one nice and simple solution against it, and it gets nerfed over and over again. Boonstrips and especially booncorrupts! so as long as they don’t at least revert those nerfs, nothing they add will convince me that boonball is not highly appreciated by those devs.

You know what? yes. Let’s do that. 😄

But they could also balance without a weird crutch like that. the issue is not the mechanic of balancing. It’s not a buff, amulett vs armor or whatever. The issue is the balancing team that decides questionable stuff.

Okay we get it. Cele bad. back to topic then.

Yeah why? It’s about willys especially. and honestly… the power one is the dangerous one.

Yeah they clearly need that! can‘t be something they can’t do.

Yeah and you pwn hard with it. hahaha. but seriously why got this thread, that is about willys derailed into a „reeeee nerf cele“ bullcrap-bingo?

Yep. i have no problem with 100% uptime buffs like vampiric aura or the old spotter buff. but those are braindead anyways gameplaywise. boons are meant to be temporary cause they have a duration time and still they are permanent.
