Im still in the opinion that they knowingly implemented several limitations into virtuoso to have a second way of balancing it in PvP/WvW instead of just traits and skills.

I know it doesnt help at all but 3 times is still quite a low number. In WvW you have to do that every patch.

To be honest I am also playing with the thought to disconnect CS from the ability to reset elite skills. Of cause it’s just fiction but it would create some advantages balance wise and is an interesting thought. It would allow a huge reduction of the CDs from the elite skills and maybe even from CS itself making it a more frequently used tool. On the other hand, deleting the ability to reset elite skills would in contrary mean that one of the most unique ability’s of chrono would be dumped down once more. There are also some uncertainties how this would affect the balance decisions of ANet regards the CD of some weapon skills. After all you would be able to spam them more often and who knows how fair it would be to dish out 2 full bursts every 30s. Still…, sometimes I like to Imagine CS would just act like mimic without the kumulative CD effect and would reset only one skill every 20 or 30 seconds. (with master of fragmentation you would be able to reset two skills maybe?) It would definitely create some interesting combos and could provide more variants in execution then the current CS. The usage is extremly versitile and could improve every alignment of chrono, no matter if power, condi or support. Since the ground binding is also gone it would even add the flexibility to use it as movement skill and double blink or double staff 2. If you play an phantasm builds you had frequently in a fight the choice between 2 or more phantasms (depending on the utilitys) and could use the right one twice depending on the situation. And you could finally decide depending on the situation what you want to use instead of blowing everything that is not on CD before CS ends. Again it’s only fiction but it has some interesting aspects to split CS from elite skills or even go further. And CS as it is right now has, as said, disadvantages. In special the elite skill CDs are inflated and not bearable.

Again only PvE changes. Nothing has changed for the PvP and WvW community. This is not transparency. That’s lying. Incompetent company, seriously. From mods to devs to workers to managers. Whole company is rotten.

PvE only, PvE only, PvE only… What a disappointment again.

Shallow argument. No one denies that you can't please everyone. And of cause you need to follow a basic set of rules to develope. But that’s not the point and it’s quite a logic fallacies you are putting up here. Since years it was suspected that the input „customer feedback“ is totally missing in the process. Recent leaks showed exactly that. Now people even give suggestions how to improve the process to receive the obvious missing input value and as everyone already expected, you come again up with „nope, can’t be the problem, they need Design rules“. Like seriously, we could have been at the point to speak out against this kitten dev team as a whole community since years but people like you with your absurde statements delayed what should have happened long time ago. You are part of the reason this whole thematic needs years to finally get going. At this point I think it’s just your character that denies you from being part of something. And tbh, writing some of your key words in capslock is ridiculous at best. What do you want to achieve with this? That your arguments get some substance instead of being empty statements?

To improve an product you have to take customer feedback in consideration. There is a reason why every modern developing method includes it. In some cases whole phases are only dedicated to collect those informations. Of cause such philosophys are important but it doesn’t matter at all which fundamental design rules they choose as long as the customer base doesn’t agree on those rules. I still wonder why you are always doing like balancing is not an end to end process. It’s always this „the company is the leader“ principe but in special in the field Consumer-Software it is clearly the other way around. Scrum, Crystal and co. are perfect examples for this.

The only unfair thing is stomping and being able to MC in my opinion. You can discuss as long as you want but Power Mirage was an very fair duel and made the perfect equivalent to thief. I wonder if it is really this hard to deny MC while stomping as they said or if it’s just pure laziness and incompetence. After the recent events I tend to trust my feelings…

Jep, exactly proves my point. It’s really unbelievable how everyone wants a balanced game but as soon as a other class then theirs should be balanced accordingly people speak out actively against it. Bravo

Nice attitude. Its not like this kitten brought us to the point where we are. Jeez, unbelievable that still one part of this community is really this self absorbed.

Only PvE changes? Because it doesn’t matter if the game is broken in WvW and PvP for 4 more month? You are the worst ANet, seriously.

We had that. The well and trait got deleted.

What more offers chrono beside gwell and shield 5? Like seriously mesmer is rock bottom but as soon as you provide gwell and shield 5 it’s S-Tier? Someone need to explain me why this is the definition of S-Tier now.

„S-Tier“ 😂 so S-Tier that you want max 1 chrono in your whole squad (most likely because it would be unfair for the enemy team then i guess?)

Lamo the traits from mesmer are not even working properly with virtuoso or are heavily restricted but engi receives the extra treatment. (Not wanna say engi should be nerfed).
