Requiem.9648

Just let people know if you think you have no talent in this game now you can just auto attack with a grenade or mace on a ingi and reach 31.5k vs some class having hard time to reach 30k with perfect rotation on a golem. "BALANCE" Be ready to see eternal mirror comp again.

What i can see is Anet try to go remove all the unique type of buff spotter,banner,assassin presence etc removing from other class to normalise the game. Personnaly i wish all CORE class have different share unique buff trait line or a dps trait option. But Anet go in the opposite way and that can maybe fine too but actualy no and that will actualy remove real build diversity instead of giving more diversity like removing 10 mans boon did. Now people want 2Fb and 2 Ingi Mech instead only 1 for 10 mans alac or 1 for10 mans quickness. Problem no1 that will cause is having mirror comp in a lot of gamemode now. MOST of people will go whit easy buff/easy rotation stuff such as Ingi mech/Scrapper and Firebrand quickness. That will lead to problem no 2 Both can heal and give almost all boon in the game. There is no reason to go as an example use a heal tempest alac or a druid alac or warrior quickness cause they will not be able to provide the exact same quality of boon such as stablility or resolution or permanent 25 mights unless they adding it on those. They have removed back in older patch the chaos chrono trait line how was able to give almost all boon in game using shatter, why not bring it back then? If you guys want builld diversity and make other class reliable they need to be able to challenge a Firebrand or a Ingi in boon duration. Cause otherwise there is no reason to play them.

In fact just we are going to see more and more of same mendatory class like in passe time like it use to be a team was only chrono/druid combo or Healbrand/Ren combo. I was thinking that Anet will be able to fix the mendatory concept by giving more boon sharing to other class in EoD. But point of those class in pass where needed people at least with a minimum of talent to play. Heal mech player can easy just press 1 and give perma alacrity /barrier being afk.

Was looking how about SOI kind of completely useless skill without trait line. It feel like imagine having a ranger how spirit give only buff to himself or warrior banner give only buff to himself cause i know there is upcoming change for them. My point on this why creating a skill how only rely on a trait line. Anet should definitively revisit SOI skill on mesmer. Now that almost all spec can give almost all boon SOI should be back to way it was working initialy. Specialy now that chrono lacking alacrity in a very dynamic fight via well of recall or tide of time cannot be rely on SOI extantion unless you are using the trait line.

I was looking for pug group just randomly in fractal/ raid guess what now there is no way you cant see it. its officialy mendatory everywhere. People want a heal mech all over the place. For some people was fun for the around 15 minutes of existence. But now due to fact is mendatory and probably to most boring thing ever made build in GW2. That thing should actualy drasticaly change. Remember the time people mentioning that chrono SOI boon was not brainer and same for heal druid. This is nothing to compare i think Anet should revisit this class and make big change on the way the heal/barrier/alacrity work on it.

talking about empty map. Just run into Echovald and i beat 3 champion alone. I mean purpose of those imperial favor is to be aquired by doing evens but there is so many ip map there its feel like nobody doing anything in them compare to any other older maps.

I do agree the should give a lot of alternative for this drop. Not overdropping like Memories of Aurene but more like 1 per day thing doing strikes or something else. Problem right now timegating this item have dangerousTP marketing play. That item can rise 10g within 12h and then go drop back cause market players and the fact that items is timegated per week. So big ritch people can actualy buy everything in the market and own it.

I dont know how got a great idea to have timegated items in the TP but this make GW2 market itself can go crazy. in about 24hour this item can reach 10 000g for 100 and then drop back to 2800g for 100 depending the time. I think Anet should verify that cause people will be able to manipulate the market and outbuy everything into to place ridiculous price for those Gen 3 legendary. Regards,

I mean that may definitively kill the CM group for real i dont think that real good move from Anet. I think the best thing if they want to avoid overdrop from it is to remove that World Boss Anomaly. That will actualy give more impact than just remove drop from fractals CMs. My point on this why creating CM for fractal if you dont have real benefit from it. You guys did at least provide better reward from raid CM per week for that point. Cause nobody found any real reason to do raid cm after 1 CM done on their account. What is the point removing the best possible reward from fractals CM. Now for the balance 10 man boons i can understand the move attempt but i will be smart just create ON EVERY CLASS many variety of unique advantange of you guys are for diversity how none of the new elite have. i mean druid provide spirits and spotter how give massive advantage like banner and empowered allies are also massive advantage. Problem now if they are down to 5 people will bring mirror class for 10 man content. Cause those unique buff are only apply from those class Alac,quickness,fury and might can be provided by many other class. Problem now with many elite spect dont have unique effect how are interesting like spotter, baner, empowered allies, assassin presence. Example mesmer dosent have any share unique effect. Necro vampiric aura is so weak nobody use it. Ele shared aura are nice but not lasting long enough. Gardian have a lot of boon up time but the trait strenght in numbers is useless just to name few of the useless shared trait. Anet should revisit other mmo and see what unique special buff allies they can bring to make spect interesting to be inside the diversity bubble otherwise they will be stuck in the pathern people will grab best dps with 2 mirror buffer/healer in PVE environment.

If you want a real test try a full condi chrono they have more stack of confusion and you wont be able to go more than 20k on Golem with all boon banner etc. So overall is a pretty big nerf and the passive is way too weak compare to any other type of condi. To be honest the dmg on skill cast seem just fine but the passive dmg seem to be joke. i dont think you will see a condi chrono in any gamemode now. For chaos Mirage axe seem good but most dps come from the torment not confusion.

To be honest we testing i have test it on Desmina (SH)and Cairn and realy realy bad now. Nothing even close to what is a scourge/harbinger or a Ren can do as condi dmg. I mean that not good in open world or any other gamemode. So mirage is kind of a complete useless class right now.

I see a new patch i was about say cool they going to fix that bug but no. They just nerf miralacrity. I mean you should fix that annoying bug of clones get self destruct when you using fast ambush this is realy realy most annoying thing right now for mesmer.

I dont know i played for 8 years and i can understand they nerfed the godlike boon chrono share cause that was way too op to give everything specialy in fractal/PvP/WvW but now we got a new requirement how people dosent seem like to play. HB/Alac i mean finding Healbrand seem easy and fun to play vs finding a alacren WHY??? Cause many people dosent like the gameplay of alacren or its just boring. Every single day I check the lfg on reset and the most common lfg is Alacren!!! they are hard to find. I know the easy anwser will be just run without it. Got a sugestion now the chrono cannot give perma everything anymore on his group if he alone only quickness and a 3sec additional boon if he using soi that should be the time to give it back the alacritry like on Seize the moment trait to give 5 man quickness on shatter the should add alacrity to that specialy for fractal when that dynamic fight vs that useless no-dynamic well of recall. At least we will have oportunity to run Alacren or Chrono no ONLY Alacren.

That me or there a lot of people complain about necro shade back on the necro. I mean that was just fine not even close to be overpower and its help necro a lot to cleanse condi on F2 how was not reliable in any gamemode after they removed and secondly if you dont want to be kill by that shade effect on him like in WvW or PvP just stop standing close to the necro and also stop spaming 1-2-3-4-5 on your ranger longbow and keep your skill 4 to push it back other that just randomly use it when is availaible...end of story... But to make shade more reliable and not abusing in WvW or PvP what Anet should do is make shade dps stackable BUT they can be destroyed/killed like clones. Whit a HP bar so that point it will make less reliable if you precasting shade in PvP or WvW but more reliable in PVE and everybody will be happy.

To be honest i think everything seem not bad at all looking at the balance im very glad they bring back dry shatter on chrono i wish they will bring back F5. My only thing i keep think about that will help other game mode on chrono is make trait Flow of Time able to reach allies. I mean that will help in open world and fractal and WvW also I dont mention raid cause good group will keep standing togheter on most of non moving boss so wells are easy to cast and reach team to give alac+quickness. But well of Recall is not very reliable to give alac on team in fractal vs an Alacren how can give easy perma alac to his teamate better than a chrono does. Flow of Time: This trait has been reworked. It now counts the mesmer as a clone. Reduced alacrity gained per clone from 1.5 seconds to 1 second. <---- make it share on allies. that will help other gamemode excluding raids AND MAKE CHRONO GOOD UNDERWATER i know a lot of people dosent care but chrono are only able to give quickness underwater not alacrity. Cause wells dosent work underwater and then no alac for allies compare to a rev how just need to press 1 button for 20-24sec alac.

I have same problem an that very annoying. Mirage and chrono had hard time cause they keep losing targeting so they can't create properly clones/fantasm. Doing pistol 4 and torch 5 can be very hard. I mean can be very hard for player now for a very moving taget like Largos twins.

Many players have reported during Largos/Cairn/Matthias their autotargeting on mirage/chrono was not working was not able to some of the skill like torch 5 and pistol 4. Probably happening on other class also be very easy to see on those class. If people can verify

This is a big nerf to damage right there and we already suffer as it is with instant death phantasms being replaced by almost no damage weak clones and now you're going to force us to choose between an extra phantasm on greatsword OR 15% damage boost from all illusions via the Empowered Illusion trait which is in the same line as Confounding Suggestions which will now be Bountiful Blades. Do you even have anyone who plays a Mesmer because it seems like these are such arbitrary and random changes with little thought to them. The loss of cripple on all attacks is also telling as now we'll be easier to be chased down by foes with only one source of cripple coming from Mind Stab and less, albeit small, breakbar damage. I am thinking exact same they place 2 dps trait in the same line that realy dosent make any sense to me. NOTHING can beat empowered Illusion trait in minor +15% flat dmg on illusions in PVE. So that just mean power dps Domination chrono will be replaced by illusions line dps chrono how aready suffered many nerf. So overall RIP domination chrono dps. Sad cause only few people was enjoying domination dps build on gs. Chaos line = useless futur Domination line = useless. You aready lost many veterant player after nefing SOI in PVE in December 2018. GW2 have many veterant player quit to other game due to lack of balance and you guys keep doing it... You realy want your game die.

Make Chrono PVE Great Again and put back the dry shatter at least.

lol exactly specialy in raid.... when nobody want toughness except tank....

What about chrono buffer???? not even giving any quickness or alac underwater lol. Class his completely destroy Inspiration and Chaos line are completely useless and will remain useless. What about dry shatter??? make him still even more useless. Funnest thing to see warrior barrier.... Warrior can have resistance-quickness and now barrier the top HP charater class can also perform reflect and a tons of CC skills. I wont be surprise on next update Anet will try to add warrior elite banner how will give perma all boons....to 10 mans.

Like i mention on other post chrono Tower on escort raid get hard to play cause if that dry shatter removed you can get perma fear or kick down the tower even running chaos line. So its more easy to just play base mesmer to do it. That just show that nerf was too much.

Personnaly if they want very effective condi abilities/buffer they should add new stats in LS5 like Power-Condi-Exper-Concentration people will enjoy like a Diviner stats. Will be great on Rev buffer-Firebrand and chrono and druid how are the best buffer atm and definitviely on a condi buffer chrono.

MAKE DRY SHATTER GREAT AGAIN!!!
