I am glad you at least try to address some of the terrible changes. Now please revert the boonbreak/boon corruption nerfs on spellbreaker and necro. We need them. Boons are already out of control. I would even say we need MORE builds denying boons and not less. Also please revert the Scrapper changes. Getting quickness now is worse than before. Why do you punish a class that does not even perform that great in the first place... I do want to use my scrapper utility for utility reasons alone and not to create combo fields that I now desperately need. Most improtantly revert the boon corruption changes. Please.

This is one of the most terrible patch notes I ever read. Almost every suggestion makes NO sense to me. You are basically deleting classes at this point without any reason, some are not even on top of the food chain. The necro changes and boon corruption changes in general will seriously consider me taking a long break. You destroy scourge without any reason, just to make your game shittier and every class doing the same thing. You seriously destroying an archetype that was niche anyways. Also Spellbreaker and Necro had the ability to boonbreak and even though it is a niche playstyle imo you act like it is a threat. Seriously boon corruption was and is a cool idea, why remove it????? There are so many more terrible ideas here I do not even know where to start. But many other people thankfully took the time to go through this nonsense one by one. We finally had a good pvp meta and some balance after months of terrible balance choices. So why not just buff other classes to the same level instead of basically nuking specs again? I urge you to please listen to the community! We love your game and ofc we will try to stop you from destroying it. Let's see what happens on June 27. I main all of these specs (all necro specs, scrapper, spellbreaker, mirage...) So you basically would force me to take a break 😞

I get that many people are frustrated that the nerf also hit PVE which was kinda unnecessary. But I want to also point out that specter fell in PVP and WvW roaming from S-Tier to basically trash tier. It dies so quick now that you should basically ALWAYS prefer another thief spec. It is beyond my understanding how such a strong nerf, literally deleting a spec, can go live. It was just way too extreme. Just apply the same shroud damage reduction buffs to specter like necro has them OR use a more realistic scaling number. We all agree that 1.5 was too much but now we can also all agree that 0.69 is way too little. So maybe something range of 1.2-1.0 and specter is a decent spec not too overpowered. Please stop deleting specs in an attempt to just slightly nerf them and apply nerfs if necessary more reasonable.

What you are saying with working off low shroud is what I often do as well, that's why I am actually not so worried about the shroud nerfs. 34k shroud was insane. I just wish they nerfed it to 1.0 or something first so we could see how that goes, since the necro shroud is not comparable to spectre shroud (they also have way more health and health generation).

Since shroud gain is percentage based yes we will. We might need to leave alac gain behind and opt in for some shroud generation trait instead. That would really suck but not be the end of the world I think.

Honestly I think our shroud was way too powerful. I also think going from 1.5 to 0.69 is too much since we have also WAY less health as eg harbs in pvp. But rn we are sitting with condi spec at 34k shroud which is kinda nuts and I can understand the frustration of non spec players playing into that 1v1 or even 1v2. We have to see with how much we end up but I guess like around 20k. I think that's still decent. What is also kinda overlooked is that the torment buff is also a specter buff, so we end up with even more dmg. We have to see where we end up, my guess is A tier which is fine by me.

WvW is literally unplayable rn for a few worlds. We (FoW) have been dominating so hard the recent week but 2/3 of our squad just keeps dc'ing while in sm. The Problem got so bad that we got almost conquered completly which normally never happens. We could not even defend our sm after patch which is so unfair. So 1 week effort for nothing? Pls hotfix this asap
