Hi All, I wanted to use Exitlag to access discord since in our country as discord is currently blocked. I wanted to check if this is officially supported by ArenaNet as i dont want my account to be blocked / banned when using it, specially if you have invested 10 years of your life in it 🙂 Anyone using exitlag and seems to be working fine? Thanks!

Encountering the issue also today - cant play.

Hi, I just noticed that even though i see the icons of the virtues active it seems that the burning dmg is not being applied. There is a huge DPS loss when activating a virtue after F1 or if pressing F1 after activating other virtues. It seems that this is also posted in reddit.

Have you seen the page cost? F3/5 3 pages (18sec cd if traited), this will be the only source of stab on your tomes, f3/1 will no longer grant stab. Popping these will result to huge dps loss. Not to mention the page cost of f1 tomes as well, qfb is technically dead but hfb might still have a chance.

Hi All, As we all remember the 5% burning damage nerf was due to the FB brining too much damage while bringing a lot of utilities. It ultimately affected the cfb / cwb builds which resulted to subpar dps compared to other specializations. Since the rework is now being done on the FB utilities can we now reverse the damage nerf in order to stay competitively on other classes? Thank you in advance!

Tons of willbender? I play willy myself, you can check the character usage charts in raids / fractals / strikes.. it seems that willbender and dh is almost non existent. Also check the popular streamers who joins a squad of 50 people, which you can barely count using one hand any dh / wb’s in the group.. dont get me wrong, dh and willy are fun to play but it’s nowhere as competitive to the other class and the attention given to other classes as well.

Its good to see that ANET is listening to feedbacks but it seems that guardian specs (Willbender / DH) has been left behind as no one bothers to care about the class anymore. There are merely few feedbacks on the class and it seems that every patch notes guardian has nothing in it except for slight nerfs to FB. On openworld / fractals / raids, you will rarely see a willbender & DH anymore and mostly its FB as a quickness / heal provider. On PVP - willbenders / DH also is almost non-existent anymore. DH is used but it is outclassed almost by everyone, there is a decline on core guard as well due to the superior support of tempest, and FB well forget about it.. On WVW - FB (again) is a must due to stability provider, there are no classes that can replace these yet. Other than that DH once more received a nerf on traps after nerfing their ranged damaged just months back. Core / willbender again has no use except to roam. FB has taken away all the fun in playing other specs of guardian, everyone seemed to think that guardian is the favorite child but in reality its only FB. Hopefully some positive change can be made for the other specs to be viable again.
