[condi rev is so op]

Mace/shield + staff sheep condi revs are very boring to fight. Almost zero kill potential but never die.

[Where are the trade offs of herald and holo?]

Daredevil has essentially no trade off either

[HIgh tank, lower damage. No tank, higher damage. It really is that simple.]

I'm just really bored of rangers, holosmiths, and condi revs living forever at this point. If I wanted to play until 85% dampening games I'd go play WoW ffs.

[Do something about revenant or some of your PvP community will give up this season]

Glint heal needs to put a big obvious blue bubble around the rev. Staring at buff bars is very unfun and bad gameplay.

[The next mini season should be core only!]

Sure, make it it's own queue that doesn't stop a 24/7 ranked season queue.

[HIgh tank, lower damage. No tank, higher damage. It really is that simple.]

@Crab Fear.1624 said:The greater the built in sustain, the lower the overall damage per second should be.

And vice versa.

Some classes you are doing the opposite.

This is where you should focus.

MAKE CLASSES COMMIT TO TANKINESS OR DAMAGE, STOP GIVING THEM A HIGH, HIGH MIDDLEGROUND

only ele lives by this rule for some unknown reason

[Make mesmer viable.]

First off, Plasma(thief steal on mesmer) needs to be heavily nerfed.Second, thief needs to not hard counter mesmer into the ground. Then, and only then, will mesmer MAYBE be viable.

As long as thief is in the state it's in, and counters mesmer as hard as it does, and being a mesmer gives a thief every boon in the game up to two times, there is no hope for this class to be viable.

[How are elementalists in pvp right now?]

If your only good build for PvP is a pure support build, your class is in a bad state. Pure support doesn't carry yourself to legendary. There's a reason the majority of last season was thieves.

Only ele build is support, lr weaver was removed.

[[Survey] Worst class in the game after last patch?]

@"Lily.1935" said:I went with necromancer not just because of how "Good" it might be but based on its overall design. Necromancer has the worst design philosophy in the game, bar none. Regardless if its top tier or not, the necromancer's design is absolute garbage. It can't be balanced with its current design, and its overall an extremely unfun class to play and fight.

What makes you think this about necro?

[How are elementalists in pvp right now?]

Ele should be the one class that doesn't have to sacrifice ALL it's damage for sustain or ALL it's sustain for damage.

However, it's basically the only class that does so. I really don't like it or understand why ranger and holo are allowed to have sustain AND damage at the same time but not ele, the most obvious "jack of all trades master of none" class.

[Matchmaking is a bigger issue than balance]

Most of those placeholder traits are better off being unusable than in the game. HoT added too many zero skill passive proc traits.

[Explosive entrance needs a nerf]

Ranger and holo both are too tanky for the damage they do.

Condi rev is just too tanky, it's damage isn't that scary, just good.

[Is PvP still fun?]

@Rankomonaut.4708 said:Hey, I'm currenlty interested to check out pvp again.I stopped with PoF back then.

Seeing many posts regarding the balance leaning towards condis do shake my will to really get into it again.Should they?

try it i guess ?I personally find the meta disgusting and boring, bunch of bunker classes on top of supports that keep them alive and the only thing you can kill is a sidenoder that falls asleep during his duel or roaming thief that penta dodges for funbut if you a fan of necro or rev I bet you would have much fun I guess, those are so busted you can make any spec work

Agreed.Nearly every single person is playing a bunker spec at mid to low ratings because it's easy, cannot be punished, and borderline brainless.The game is far too slow paced right now, and it gets boring fighting nothing but unkillable players all match long.

[Matchmaking is a bigger issue than balance]

I feel that matchmaking being in the state that it's in is a far bigger issue than any balance problems with the game.Games are either unwinnable, or unlosable, there are very few "close" or "fair" matches. This creates a very boring experience the vast majority of the time.

Please consider re-examing your matchmaking system, as it's the biggest contributor to PvP's decline in player base, not balance.

[wtf, another season of condi rev?]

@Fueki.4753 said:Why does it matter what most top players play?The game should be balanced around the average, not some outliers.Those outliers will exploit anything that can be exploited anyway.

At average gameplay, condition Heralds are not over-performing.Most Revenants I see are killed before they can do serious damage.

Condi herald is too strong at all skill levels

[Do You Find The Game More Fun To Play Now Or Before Revamp]

Warrior has to work for it's damage and is incredibly satisfying to combo and kill people with.

Warhorn tempest has to work for it's damage and is fun to get kills on.

Meditrapper guardian has to work for it's damage and is fun to get kills on.

The issue is they forgot that ranger and holosmith have 40604707004047047074070470470 free HPS and ranger/thief/holo have 460470 blocks/evades/invuls/dodges that have no limit.

They need to put a limit on the amount of attacks a dodge/block/invul can negate.

[Unranked needs to be re-examined]

Please do something about your unranked matchmaking. I suggest completely removing the ability to queue as 5, and forcing premades to only fight eachother of equal size. This current matchmaking is unhealthy for the future of the game and just leaves a bad taste new players mouths which probably makes them end up giving up on the games PvP entirely.

[Last day of 3v3...]

I have 100% win rate on my tempest build and I still think the modes boring. Boring to play, boring to watch.

[Do You Find The Game More Fun To Play Now Or Before Revamp]

@ZeteCommander.4937 said:I can't stand this kind of balance strategy that reduces the skill floor to flatters bad players. This kind of bad design has been used in wow. Now they admit that this kind of idea fails and makes improvement. The game is still making the same mistake

But that isn't the design philosophy at all. You're supposed to have to work for damage now, instead of mash any button and it does 1/3 of someones HP.

The issue is the blatantly easy classes(hi every bunker/necro) that require absolutely no thought and just pianoing your keyboard outlasting your opponent.

[What is wrong with WvW in 2020?]

I don't think anything keep related matters when classes are running around using broken sigils, runes, food, potions and gear stat combinations that don't belong in a PvP game mode.

It's time to force WvWers into locked stat load outs like SPvP if you want any semblance of fun to exist in it.

[Last day of 3v3...]

@Paradoxoglanis.1904 said:If you join 3v3 as a pug, you are just asking for a bad time. It was meant for premade groups.

So the 10 groups who play it get to have fun while the other 99% of the player base doesn't? Great idea dude.

[Last day of 3v3...]

I'm glad 3v3 is gone, can we get perma ranked conquest now? No downtime.

[Can we please buff Mesmer Staff? Its the worst weapon on our kit.]

@necromaniac.7629 said:

@Tayga.3192 said:For spvp, staff is good in core mesmer only. Mirage is better with sword.

right but core mes is kinda trash anyway

It's the best mesmer build atm though

[Triggered mes main btw! :)]

Yeah, the fact they buffed plasma is really silly. Plasma needs gigantic nerfs in the current state of the game.
