First i thought the same that it only break stun if it empowered, but only thentooltip that's in a dumb format. The empowered version only applies resistance in addition of the base effect. The segmentation is bad for the tooltip. Also the "flip" effect for the empowered skills is slow, you cant chain two utility skills. A bit bothersome to use to wait untill it flips.

Was there anyone using that weapon in those modes? It's just a clunky mess. While Guardian got even more QoL changes and buffs. From now on consider me a Guardian main, maybe they will nerf that and finally rev gets some nice buffs and QoL too, then i can come back.

Nice sum-up. My opinion on your suggestions: -AA: reasonable -s2: small range increase would be nice (like 360), but overall i think it's fine -s3: this is the most underused skill from sw/sw kit (PvE never used, PvP mainly used for the evade frames, but the range and the wind-up is just too long). The skill core is fine, i don't think they should change that, but buff the responsiveness, like in Smoke Assault, which is instant cast and longer range (still don't understand how can this happen...). -s4: slow, low dmg, low immobilize duration, (Guardian offhand sword has 2 sec), buff in some way is certainly warranted (dmg buff or cast time reduction. Block should not be necessary if s3 would be buffed -s5: fine as is Overall the kit is fine, just need some updates.

And under that statement they are buffing Guardian mh sword, which is used in meta core support, DH and WB?!? Why?

That's why they buffing weapon alternatives for ranger, it already had better burst and cc and only nerfing revenant. My problem with this is that they don't factor in ramping up/bursts, cc and ranged capabilities neither for power nor for condi.

Wdym? 100b does the same dmg (nvm that the cast time is longer, melee and you have use it 2 times to break even)

My problem is that they are so keen to nerfing viable options (in every patch, literally...), while there are many bugs and outdated skills/weapons/traits that I would like to see fixed.

I don't think it will ever get better. Balance changes are rare, and even when there are, I'm always disappointed. 🙁

Scrapper benefiting from it pretty hard (it's even without internal cd), and they have more utilities too (stealth, stomp/rezz, better aoe pressure via grenade). The purpose of this thread is not to plead for the removal of the relic, I'm just genuinely curious, since such an easy access to one of the best boon is generally frowned upon (such as was the case with Herald's quickness). Thanks.

Because you know, someone want to play dps too not only boon role, that's why so much drama

RIP greatsword for all specs for now, not only herald. It was pretty even for s/s and gs but with this nerf... even vidi will camp s/s and use staff for cc... gs is just pointless now. Also why did they nerf condi when for ranger and mesmer its untouched?

Beside that cBers is strong right now, I have to agree that ele didn't even tried to move out out of any of the warri's lb F1 and F2 and didn't even try to break los. And yeah.. SB is still busted, but that isn't a "state of ele" only thing.

Why does smoke assault (Soulbeast smokescale merged skill) have 750 range but unrelenting assault only 450? These two skills basically do the same thing. Mostly interested from the PvP point of view. Thanks!
