Hopefully next patch will be better without excuses like these that explains nothing but 2k firebrand.

[Can someone explain me this video please?]

I don't know, to me, it shows how well the balance is done.

But nerfing warrior and herald is a must! And buffing harbinger!

Yes I absolutely agree, I wish they could just buff my axe FB a bit more, maybe like another boon with my fury? Let's do retaliation too! I also think that elementalist needs a nerf, because it's a more difficult class it doesn't mean it can do more, it should be nerfed, so happy anet knows this and buffed mech!

Warrior banner changes are amazing, you only need 2 friends to help you pick it up and move it, but it's OP AF!!! 

[Willbender Aegis passive]

Thank  you so much, it's wierd but it's super OP xD

[Willbender Aegis passive]

Hi guys,

I have noticed that I get Aegis everytime I go off combat permanently (I NEVER use F3 crashing courage), I'm using the snowcrows Willbender Condi build.

I can't find where my aegis comes from because the virtues aren't passive.

Everytime I mount up I get a free Aegis boon.

Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot!

[Rate the June 28 patch out of 10]

Currently 0/10, depending on how the next patches are, they can still fix/tweak it, hopefully they take this big backlash in account and start taking balance more seriously. 

[The problem of near-monopoly on aegis and stability]

I absolutely agree with the fact that HAM and HFB are the only healers because they can provide basically almost any boon with no effort. If we can have more diversity across Aegis and Stability, we will definitly be closer to balance.

The single target thing in GW2 has always been on the iffy side. Like the OP said, this game has AoE combat in mind when it comes to skills/traits. 

Anything the thief touches, especially single target anything (hello Deadeye) will eventually turn into a nerfed goat. They can't make anything single target in this game "too" strong.

Which makes me ask myself, why would you wanna use a spec that's good at supporting ONE person in a mediocre way where you can use a spec that can you support 5 people in a much better way. 

Good thing they gave the Specter AoE Alacrity otherwise it would be a totally useless niche spec. 

I agree with everything in this post, hoping for a some rework in june! (this goes for most classes that has issues)

[Ally Targeting on Support Specter Feels Like a Failed Mechanic]

I think specter will never be viable in any game mode, I have tried multiple builds for specter from support to dps in pve/high end pve/wvw/pvp.

In pvp it might be good, but for wvw (anet claimed it was support to protect the king) it is horrid. For PVE its not even a support but rather an insane dps build as long you have an allied to share Rot passive with. Its very clunky in term of support/dps, the playstyle is wierd af. One benefit is that its very easy, spam all buttons. I hope they will rework this spec by june as most of the eod specs are mediocre at best.

 

Edit : I honestly think reworking it to be able to support 5 man (4 man leech) would make specter support instantly viable, ofc it would need some changes. I think siphon should keep its usage, the instant revive sihpon is super epic.

Thanks for the response!

 

Took me a while to find out, from what I understand nothing changed from the beta's and they turned Power willbender into a fire-condi willbender.

Defeats the whole purpose of speed and dual blades.

 

Good day!

[Permeating Wrath Willbender]

Nevermind found out, sorry.

[Permeating Wrath Willbender]

Hi friends!

 

Could anyone tell me what Permating Wrath trait  does for willbender since he doesn't have a passive virtue?

 

Thanks in advance!
