Rad Thanks!! & just for visibility: [Daring Dragon] post-Oct. 4th patch nerfs your flow generation compared to pre-Oct. 4th. And also has a new cooldown-reset bug when you organically run out of flow because it's flow generation is now borked. Please fix this very fun (albeit not very good trait.) My WvW build is ruined currently. T_T <3

@Josh Davis.7865 Frist off, thank you for not putting the 5% in Discipline. It's already bloated enough imo. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd If you're actually intent on fixing idiotic warrior things that don't make sense: - [Furious Burst] Does not correctly give Bladesworns fury on burst skill use. It only sometimes* gives it after dis-engaging Dragon Trigger (This is easiest to see when [Daring Dragon] is equipped.) - Similar to [Executioner's Scythe] and [Holographic Shockwave], [Head Butt] and [Wild Blow] Have damage modifiers (i.e. Consume STABILITY to do bonus damage or automatically crit, that make no sense because they are hard CC skills.) Please, please, PLEASE Do something about this for sPvP and WvW. Thank you. <3

Vet since launch. Actually played consistently since launch too. Dunno if I'll be back honestly. ----- Why People Are So Upset: ----- For what it's worth, I think a lot of the animosity people are feeling right now stems from not getting a real (actually fun balance patch, (since before the 2020 nerf one,) in over 3 years now. While being told consistently "No for real, soon." People playing this game are devoted, and like any MMO have put a LOT of their time & effort into it. Much more than the devs in many cases. And that's fine, but don't send death threats to the studio that's stupid. Vote with your wallet & do something else with your time. ----- People Care About Balance, Why Don't You? ----- That being said, since the 2020 nerf patch, which was "Supposed to be followed up with balance patches as frequent as every 2 weeks," - CMC Balance in this game has, no exaggeration, felt like an abusive relationship. ----- No Balance, New Runes, Or Sigils ----- EoD was 85% of an expansion. We didn't get any new sigils or runes. We got unfinished buggy classes. (4/9) of whose names make 0 sense in relation to what the class actually does. And we haven't gotten a "balance patch" until now. A patch which, coupled with the leaks from the Dev Discord, confirm that this was more like 3 weeks of work than 3 years. ----- Bring Back The Fun ----- ANet you can't even maintain a consistent vision between year-gapped patches and have 0 proof that anyone on your team, or even the studio at this point, plays the game enough to care about iterating on skills as a priority. One Dev says "Nerf everything and we'll fix it later." & another says "Buff the already over-performing stuff to compete with Firebrand and we'll fix everything else later." You've gotta understand from our perspective: These 0 fun patches, where you keep nerfing clever things people come up with (i.e. using scorched earth for it's power damage because it ignores projectile blocks" even tho Berserker is literally otherwise the worst class in WvW) feel like getting punched in the gut over & over while being told "No really I can change!" I'm not being sarcastic when I say this: It seems like a lot of you don't play this game because you don't like other people having fun unless it's the very specific way that you intend at the moment. (See also Homogenizing dungeon currencies to effectively finally kill that sub community. Or moving mystic coins to strikes from fractals instead of just adding them to both and allowing them to be cheaper. *Which your NVidia promotion ultimately did anyway. Grouch asked for calm feedback. And I'm genuinely not meaning this as antagonistic. I have over 10,000 hours in this game & honestly I think I'm done. It causes me more anxiety than fun at this point. Guild Wars 2 had what is undoubtedly, hands-down, the best underlying combat system of any MMO. I just wish the studio thought so.

So like... now banners still suck, but put out quickness when put down and you have to take tactics for the 60% quickness uptime from [Martial Candance], and that's IF you spec into 100% boon duration. (Which also competes with [Phalanx Strength] so warriors can't provide both quickness AND might. ALSO you means you still have to take banners and now STOP your dps rotation to awkwardly juggle them up / put them down. SERIOUSLY!? WE WAITED 2.5 FUCING YEARS FOR THIS???? Can one of you dipshits play warrior for like 5 seconds to realize how carnival-kitten awful all of it's skills and traits are. It desperately needs a rework. JFC, Fox News is more "Balanced" than this patch. My therapist told me I need to quit the abusive relationships in my life and every patch since Hugh left it's been like "Nooooo don't go, please! Warrior fixes are coming we promise we can change. Just next patch." So no, I'm sorry ANet. You got paid money to do this, you've had 2 years, it kittening sucks, and I'm done with this game. Bye.

For what it's worth, ty for the communication. Would also appreciate a balance patch preview like ye-old-days of 2 years ago. ❤️
