[Virtuoso changes for Beta 4 = damage reduction on most skills for PvE]

I'm so done with the devs...

They adressed 0 issues of the Virtuoso. I mean... yeah the passive blade generation out of combat is nice but that's it.

Untamed got new ambush skill, harbinger got a complete overhaul of some mechanics and all utilities and added utility damage effects, catalyst got overhauls as well that are significant and Virtuoso got NOTHING but nerfs and more passive blade generation that nobody asked for.

The 5 % dmg buff after using a bladesong is useless since they nerfed Virtuoso's damage overall by a lot.

For a "shatter focused" spec Virtuoso has no way of lowering the cooldown of the shatters.

F1-F4 still feel uninspired and are just a worse version of the base shatters, chrono shatters at least game something new.

Still 0 mobility, 0 survivability, 0 condi cleanse, 2 utility aoes that do the same when they could be merged and give us an useful utility instead, no offhand dagger for mobility or condi cleans options, a weird unblockable "bandaid fix" for bladesongs that only triggers when you evade or block an attack like ???? that's so inconsistent..

At least I have my mirage that I can play and don't feel useless... They really should have gone for a proper Minstrel music spec as people wished for instead of this crap.

Completely agree

 

Adding to this that the cast times of F1-4 still causes the rotations to be awfully clunky and way to predictable. You can know interrupt your own skills and flow if you are used to instant casts. 

This was a big demand in the forums etc. and it hasn’t even been addressed once. Have no idea where they imagined the rest. 
 

Numbers can be readdressed - doubt - but just the general feeling feels off and useless. 

[Random disconnects in the past few weeks (error code 7:11:3:202:101)]

HelloStrangely I get this DC error every time I open the black lion trading post. The rest of the time I don't get disconnected.I tried emptying the cache, rebounding the router, nothing worked, every time I attempted to open the TP... Error 7:11:3:202:101After fiddling around, I found that changing my internet Wi-Fi connection to 2.4Ghz instead of 5Ghz resolved the problems and since then no more disconnects...Wasn't aware that having good internet and router would cause so much hassle.Never had this sort of issue before post Halloween event.
