When will Anet hire Devs that actually play the class?
"Props to Anet for completely ignoring all the issues Catalyst has, and instead going “I see big dps, I nerf”. G kittening G. Lowering the dps a bit is fine, but not this kittening much, and not without kittening fixing energy, or grand finale double tap, or hammer 3 interaction with hitbox, or having way easier rotations not being punished as well, like.. lol. Don’t even get me started on new sphere cd. I and many others have directly warned them about Catalysts issues in real fights (and even on the golem) several times, but clearly to no effect. It is so exhausting to deal with these arbitrary and ignorant balance decisions. I’m sorry, but I refuse to upload any inside-hitbox bench with this garbage until they fix its issues and buff it again. The number on large hitbox was something like 38k+, which might sound good, but keep in mind it is not only inflated by large hitbox but also by having all hammer 3s hit. Before this nerf, OUTSIDE of hitbox dps was at 38-39k, and even that made it only kind of ok in real scenarios, so yes, go figure. Open world guide for now is canceled aswell, cause it just isn’t a good class anymore."
