You trade off a shadowstep that ignores Y axis. Incredible tool for chasing down people and escaping. I can't remember every time I shadowstepped out of kill hungry raids. Not sure about Sword 5 2nd attack being unreliable though. I do have scenarios when people simply walk out of it, but it never got to the point that I wanted to throw my screen out in the window like S3 xD

Should post that at GvG bros discord, that's where cool kids post stuff for devs to implement. Leave us and our echo chamber alone.

Something that permaCCs or spams AoEs that corrupt boons or apply a bunch of debilitating conditions would be great. Basically, Rev's own variation of dumbing down the game 🙂 Or maybe something with smoke fields or stealth?

Power herald roamer...sounds more like free food for 90% of popular roaming specs nowadays. And you are not wrong, it's lacking some damage. It's great as +1 spec, similarly to spvp, but it is just too vulnerable currently. Running zerk with rolling mists sounds like a good way to make things count. Durability runes should, in theory, make you less glassy too. Are you going to run double swords with staff or SB + staff? Double Swords + GS? (full aggro mode kekw)

Sword 2, 4 and 5 are fine. If UA would be less buggy then that'd be just great. Double swords is still better than hammer in many situations, but I am happy that hammer is no longer a meme. Comparing to scepter kekw

A good thief can't lose, it will just rotate stealth until it manages to land burst or steal (depending on your class, essence sap from rev is kind of stupid strong), and it's not every day that you will meet a thief of that caliber. Harbringers are everywhere, however, and they don't require nearly as much skill. But yeah, stealth is just broken, it is what it is. Mesmer pistol + dagger is overloaded, but it has the same weaknesses as harb with the only difference being that it can simply walk away easier. I know noone likes Willbender nowadays, but all those OMG ONESHOT DMG Willbenders I met were so squishy. Get some unblockables and dodges? Cele Windi is annoying, but in my opinion Vindi/Rene cele bow is worse. Catalyst has some meme specs that can oneshot squishy people, but otherwise I almost never see them anymore. Not saying that ele main/one trick isn't a PITA to fight though, but why do something on ele that can be done with 10 times less effort on a different class nowadays... And what about Scrapper? Nades again?

Said by the guy who blamed guild auras for killing dueling scene. Feels like I am reading posts from old twitter or some very delusional subreddit.

Oh that's just their understanding of dueling, given what their comms post on these forums. They do really love the idea of necro master spec, so they bring 49 NPCs with them when they want to duel somebody.

Harbringer is that type of dumbed down broken, braindead spec that requires very little and gives way too much, but they do have one weakness - they hate reflects. Trying to outcleanse all Harb's condi burst is usually a thankless task. I really hate people playing that spec, just as much as I hate permadaze spam from Mesmer dagger, but I learnt to counter both successfully. Worst case scenario nowadays: they'll just try to walk away.

" dueling scene died, because objective auras were just too strong" This fits the tier of dumb, delusional and ARROGANT kitten I used to read on both Deso discord and team chat and I am surprised that YOU spat it out. Absolutely clueless, as any bag farming NPC is.

I wonder if their bosses are even aware that the job their employees are doing is pretty bad and contradicts reality. In both MUs I was in, there was a big imbalance between the populations of the servers, and as a result, my server had to fight outnumbered every time against organized raids that were twice as big. There was a time we were simply camped at spawn for two days. UPD Heard they hired a person from the community for balance recently. So far they appear pretty biased.

Shadowsteps randomly refuse to work, namely S5 for rev and phase traversal.

The issue is, it's been around EoD and nothing has been done about it, so they are probably okay with what it is. Since why "It's a mesmer". Kinda forgot it was EoD and not SoTO, since it's such half-arsed expansion. My bad

Last time I checked Reapers didn't like their swords (they still got harbringer), warriror's staff sucks and didn't fix anything and revenant's scepter is just pure kittening trash. And then we got thief axe, mace ranger and mesmer permadaze stuff as if mesmers didn't have enough spammable and instant CC already. So definitely not all of them.

Because it is a mesmer.

Everything goes according to their plan. They want each class to be able to accomplish everything at the same time. It's just that they can't spread it the idea across all elite specs yet. I am having fun with Vindi after 7 years of boonbot snooze fest named herald, so no, screw you. Crawl back to Ventari and Herald ):<

As long as it will lose some of it's power potential in the process I guess. It's kinda kitten the way it is now on Cele builds. (wvw perspective)

Well, it's actually useful for roaming and small scale now. All skills are, except for 2.

Man, you really are trying hard to twist out and justify it somehow not going to lie. It's been happening for around an hour. A bunch of people spoke about him in team chat and it's not the first time I encountered him on that border. I booted up OBS just to record him as a matter of fact. He's also used https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fiery_Leap on two downstated rangers before this. It is absolutely baffling that you've completely ignored the fact that he simply dissappeared after his hp reached 0% too.

I don't know, it honestly looks busted the way it is already.

This doesn't seem normal. He's also literally erased two rangers in seconds a couple moments before this video, and it's the third time I sent this guy wherever he went to after dropping to 0% hp.

Is the secret ingredient crime hacks? Seriously, every week something new. People flying around, spawn WPs being contested and now WvW transformations abuse. Get your kitten together Anet.

Not while Cele is there. Some specs like Harbringer are overtuned

I had it enough with abusing stealth mechanics in other MMOs, so I chose it over thief many years ago, and I am not one of those who jumps on the bandwagon for a class or build that is currently busted, even though multiclassing in this game is easy. It is probably not a bad class for raids and PvE, but I find all of that so dreadfully boring nowadays and would be better off finding amusement somewhere else in real life, so I am lacking competence in regards to PvE.

Man do I love the selective reading skills of some assumptive people with too much plastic in their food. Sorry, I didn't ask for your OPINION, what I am interested in whether they have actual capabilities to code in Cele stats as exception. What does it have to do with amulets? But to answer that, I ran hybrid builds for around 4 years before PoF, cele was and is still kitten that works better on some classes than the others, with VERY low skill ceiling and spatial awareness requirements. But I get, it takes some time and a hefty amount of nerfs to your cheese to realize that 🙂 I personally don't have an issue with Willie in my class, whether it's dragon, maradeur, or zerk. Annoying to deal with in small-scale fights, but perfectly killable. Once it puts cele trinkets on however, it becomes too much fo jack-of-all-trades with permanent boons uptime, damage, and survivability. I personally don't have an issue with Willie on my class, whether it's dragon, maradeur, or zerk. Annoying to deal with in small scale fights, but perfectly killable. More so than some other popular specs on WvW, that's for sure. Once it puts cele trinkets on, however, it becomes a menace with high boons uptime, damage, and survivability without any reason justifying that. I'd also like to say that I've not encountered that many WIllbenders for last couple of months in MUs, compared to say thieves, necros, and engis.
