[TONS OF DAMAGE]

This is a great of example of learning how to actually increase your damage with burst. Any class will pull these numbers if you 12345 a dolyak.

[WvW NPCs need nerf]

It takes either of my builds about 4 seconds to take out a t3 camp and 10 seconds if it has creatures guarding. If you cant take out a camp still you're not employing everything available to you to maximize your damage. Soloing towers is now much harder though, and soloing smc was difficult before but now I don't think I could do it. But camps? Nah. Run into a corner or behind and object and unload. If you're just walking into the camp and taking the scout blinds head on thats on you.

Theres plenty of names open, you're just being unoriginal.

[Thoughts on patch, specifically concerning necro?]

@ZeftheWicked.3076 said:I can't wait to read a core necro's feedback on this...assuming any will be bold enough to actually play core after this gutting..

Are you playing the same game as the rest of us? Core necro is off the charts powerful in wvw atm.

[Preliminary feedback on the mega balance patch (WvW perspective)]

@Jayden Reese.9542 said:Larger groups usually win unless it's a smaller guild vs pugsThe speed nerf was unnecessaryThe reward trak includes 2 week bastion pass 10 ticket scraps so 30g and many other things so it can't be repeatable.The map isn't overrun by pver due to the 200g pricetag but it ends up being 90g for the mount/bl key/arm pass if you place value on clovers

Most wvw players are so overstocked on clovers they have no value. Ive made 6 legendarys and working on armour now and I have well over a stack.

[Is it time to pull the new patch, and re think this ?]

How did it do that? Sure theres a few core necros running around a bit too strong amongst other things, maybe mirage 1 dodge was a bit harsh but otherwise deserved, but I think that can all be straightened out.

[so what looks stronk]

Warrior can still run away from any fight it chooses.

[I though I was missing something about condi]

@Lost Elegy.9276 said:Yeah, no. I can mirror this experience. I played one game as a hammer warrior (For the lulz) and encountered a burn guardian. I died in under 2 seconds from two 8k burn ticks. Unless they hotfix condition damage, power builds will cease to exist. Condi spam is back, boys.

I dont know what bad build you're playing but warrior beats burn guard in any matchup. You're just bad?

[Guardian Hammer is useless]

Hammer is now probably the worst pvp/wvw weapon.

encourage veterans to continue (those that are completionists will have to continue playing wvw for 18 more months

Right. Encourage them to continue playing by holding up both middle fingers and saying 'sux2suck' get it next week.

[Will condi damage also be lowered?]

@RedShark.9548 said:

@KrHome.1920 said:Burnguard isn't overpowered and won't be. Sigil of Cleansing and one additional cleanse in your utility bar is enough to deal with it as it lacks cover conditions.

If you want to see condi nerfs, then take a look at the scourge changes. Since it has tons of cover conditions its condi damage is nerfed to almost unplayable levels (condi trait changes: 1s of burn, 1s of torment, 1s of bleed...). Good luck stacking any condi on scourge in the future! On top of that the manifest sand shade strikes (the direct damage component of every F-skill) ist nullified from a 0.66 to a 0.1 multiplier. That will have huge effects in wvw blob fights.

For condi mirage I guess they will wait how the dodge nerf will affect the spec. It could already be enough as mirage loses a ton of sustain and utility with that nerf.

?? Have you seen what burn dh can do to a zerg??

8k burnticks applied in like 2 seconds as aoe. If that isnt busted, than what is? If that isnt busted, why even bring that big balance patch, if burn dh is fine, than everything else is too.

Sure in 1v1 its not as good, but wvw is not about 1v1,or even smallscale, its about 30v30+And there it is devestating.

If your 30 man cant clear a burn I've got bad news for you.

[Retaliation should be removed.]

@Syrus.2174 said:

@Ashen.2907 said:Hmm, I expect that attacking a zerg

should

get you killed.

Of course it should be dangerous. But not just by attacking, if the defender doesn't even have to do anything actively for the attacker to go down, there is something wrong in my opinion. And that is exactly the case with retaliation for some classes.

Lets be clear. No one is going down just for attacking.

[PSA: Stop going for svanir/chieftan on forest.]

Yeah I enjoy testing my pve skills on them so I make sure to run optimal 1v1 dps setup.

How can one be so terribly inept at pvp that they think that something is never a viable option.

@lodjur.1284 said:From this perspective the warclaw is an amazing addition, I imagine that if one cares more about objectives and less about fights then maybe the warclaw is a negative addition to WvW

There is a pretty good reason that one of the go to things to kitten about when complaining about the warclaw is how it makes it harder to ninja unguarded towers

Is PvDing really something to strive for... Especially when "roaming"

You wouldn't think so but "people arrive before we can cat down the wall" seems to be a common complaint

Those that state that complaint don’t know where to place them.

How does cata placement correlate to the time to take the wall down? I'd love to hear you justify this one. News flash the cata does the same damage regardless of where you put it.

Except for Chaos Armor and Phantasmal Duelist, most of them aren't even viable. Other than those two; only MH Sword, Mirror and Portal are playable.

You're taking null field and making it into a better winds with a 25s cd and 1200 range. Absolutely never.

[Roaming MvM (Thief)]

My rule for fighting stealth in wvw is if you disengage to the point of leaving combat our fight is over you lost. I will leave the area, if you follow I will just turn and cheap shot you, because my class can abuse it's own mechanics like that vs yours.

[Questions about balance patch]

@displayname.8315 said:My understanding was coefficients were being adjusted mostly. I took that mean things like clicking a trait button and getting double damage burn guard + burning sigils + 25% boost to all DMG at range = 300% - 400%

Stuff like that.

Huh? Are you saying theres some passive trait that does this? Also what gives double damage burning I don't see it. I think you are confusing duration with damage multiplier. At range? Aren't burn guard heavily melee based? Theres so much stuff like that and more that doesn't make sense with the post here.

@Junkpile.7439 said:Can't wait. Finally core specs will be par with elite specs.

Alot of core specs are getting hit as well.But they balance things. Only thing that need balancing is broken elite specs. No idea what else they would balance.

But that doesn't equate to balance between the specs though. You slash a core by 40% damage it hits it harder than slashing the elites by 40%. Most of the elite spec skills do multiple things while many core skills are more focused. Slashing everything 40% hurts core more than elites.
