Cal made a quick mention of it during one of the latest balance streams that the windup will never go away with him at the helm.

Unsurprising Signet of Humility gets changed because of a specific gvg commander getting sniped. I wonder who he complained to....

This kitten is so ugly...

They did at one point but it was so invasive and created false-positives that people were getting banned who weren't using any form of third-party program. With everything but movement on the server side, there's not much to detect other than teleporting. Any exploits are largely due to finding bugs.

There's a soft rating reset every season. This makes the pool of players higher to pull from because more people are in an acceptable rating range. Glicko2 uses rating volatility and rating deviation to calculate your rating (more to it than that but consider these two values important). Your RV and RD will settle fairly quickly based on the number of matches played, typically the minimum required. Which means you'll be playing within your rating curve. Although the matchmaker expands well beyond ratings just to create games if the queued population is low.

Even the standard chrono boon dps build can hit ~34k so even with less than ideal rotation, getting 28k is easy to attain in fractals/strikes/raids.

Bringing this back to attention because sword main and sword off are fading into obscurity.

The mirror made no sense on StG. The updated StG is a huge upgrade over what it was before.

Hammer is infinitely better in wvw than before.

Hammer changes are exactly where it should've been for a long time. Chaining 2-5-2 is such a fluid combo that it doesn't feel slow and clunky anymore.

Main-hand pistol.

I'd guess that 3-5-2 is used because 5 has an activation timer so you can fill 2 before 5 hits and finishes, optimizing your cooldown(s).

OG chaotic interruption needs to come back.

OW Celestial Mirage that uses conditions... http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?PiwAgq%2FlRwiYJMEmJW2PdPNA-DyIY1ol%2FMCUBkpUQh3GCRg2CvmUMtBA-e

The only fun I'm having with rifle is trolling by throwing Singularity shot out and having people take my portal.
