Okay...... but they are still buffs. I'm mean any change inevitably changes how something is being used. Mantra of Pain is probably a nerf to power builds but it's not like everyone was using that outside the Golem. I used Phantasmal Defender on my Chronomancer instead of Manta of Pain simply due to being able to apply the unique Condition effect Taunt in PvE (75 breakbar a second)

Buffs are a shitshow and bad?

We got alot of buffs, just no second dodge back. Im also willing to bet if they did return it we would see Ambush nerfs and I'm sure you would not be happy with that.

Honestly WvW is a dumpster fire of garbage builds. My favourite it's the high speed Soulbeast, heralded as one of the best WvW roamers but do you know what it cant do. Kill anyone with 2 brain cells, I mean you just avoid them since they just run away whenever they get scared. Most of the time all the mobility and stuff people claim is good it hot garbage unless you doing something very specific like chasing a Vindicator or Soulbeast untill they kill you.

Yeah that's why alot of people have said they should nerf the Ambush in some way and that should balance out the duel nature of the dodge. Untamed has a great Ambush since its on a 15 second cooldown, Deadeye is similar but instead requires malice. We just need something to prevent people spamming it, a cooldown would be the easiest fix.

Maybe I will, I am getting better at running at least Strikes.

Well, it is.... I mean we have no game stats anything close to LFG wait times. It takes me and Hour to organise a Strike/Raid, IBS is quicker though.

Is just my opinion.

I'm sorry for derailing the thread. I'm just responding to people; I can't really help myself responding if people comment on what I say.

I would if I could, but I don't get to play regularly enough. If I didn't have a 50 hour a week job and a family, I guess I could raid/strike more.

I guess.... I just don't enjoy waiting an hour to play a Strike/Raid. I don't really have the time wait around, I would rather WvW at the moment.

I never said you had to have amazing DPS just higher than the normal 5k a pure healer can get. If a Healer can porivide boons that's fine aswell but the resurrection bots we see are pretty amazing when they work. @Vidit.7108Another good reason to use Virtuoso is the ability to have 2 feedbacks for rezing on a very low cooldown. It's really is amazing on Pugs.

Well good luck with the irrelevant end-game content we have. It seems they will be focusing on WvW at the moment anyway which I'm all for so that will keep me happy.

It doesn't really matter what you say since they are moving in this direction. I mean every Class can provide one of the two main boons and sometimes both. We have 3 barrier healers with 2 in just the last expansion. I am trying to push the LFG system because we have it in PvP so it's already available for repropose. We have 3 main roles already so I don't see why you can't que with them for at least fractals. Again, many other games have this and is what is lacking compared to something like FF14.

I think over all a new Raid Wing is not a bad idea but what is really needed is for Arena Net to inforce roles. Yes some Raid bosses are much easier when let's say you use a theif to steal plasma but having 4 Support/Dps and 2 healer should be a standard Arena Net needs to set for 10 man content.

@Obtena.7952 Just let the guy suggest a new a Raid wing. This is such a semantic argument. It's like me with wanted a Raid/Strike quing system for quality of life. Arguing here is kinda pointless since you are just purposefully trying to pit yourself against him. Just say, new raid Wing would be amazing but Arena Net has moved on from this content into Strikes and probably won't return.

Well we don't know unless we try, plenty of other games have queing systems. You could even allow people to que as the party leader where they pick the roles. Right now the whole LFG is filled with Raid sellers.

I do but my time zone means I can't play at reset or peak.

We need to not have people waiting an hour plus just to do a Strike/Raid.

Honestly the Meta is so varied and different per Server I can kind of understand where there comming from. Most of the time there are no Zergs rather a collection of small groups all tackling WvW. One of the biggest problems when you VS a server with a larger population is just resources. Normally the defender has more bodies to throe at keeping the walls up and stalling than the low server population so I think this levels the playing field. Let's face it a Zerg is a zerg and will take what ever they want. Normally farming you for medals and WvW levels in the process. Atleast now you counter play by attacking there keeps.

If they can make an LFG queing system work, sure make bigger Raids.

I would rather big patches since it takes a while for people to really find out if something is OP. I mean look at Catalyst, it's only really became the monster in the recent weeks. Maybe some people knew but it took a while to transition the larger PvP population.

1: Weakness is fair since it prevent bursting with high strike damage. 2: This exists already with many Core and Elite traits. 3: Hmm like you said they exist but normally conditions are reliant on your class mechanic(traitline to). For example Mesmer with clones applying Bleed or Shatters applying Torment.

5: They said Fervent Force won't get a nerf untill they buff the rest of Elite 8: I agree with this one though

I don't really want to learn a whole new class just to play PvP.
