No. We need a way to deal with 1 button juggernauts. Also, players are discovering how powerful boon removal still is. And damage is still too low

Hopefully they nerf weaver so other side noders and duelist and be a viable pick.

Sometimes, the hero must adapt. Can't be a hero....if you can't adapt.

We should actually try and actively shrink it.

Most of us has seen it, been privileged enough to witness, or perhaps even could be charged guilty of the crime that we are "carrying" the game. It usually takes form of the legendary "side noder" or perhaps the roaming duelist. They provoke an enemy, perhaps two, and proceed to tango. The location might matter, and it might not. It could be at the close node, or the far node, maybe even the mid node; it all depends on where the rest of the team is. Heck, it could even happen in the roads. Now, the "hero" is occupied with their skirmish, taking care to try and outplay their opponents, even if it is wasting time. Then "it" happens...yes "it".... Their inevitable demise after an over-extension, a botched rotation, or even the highest crime of all: A PLUS ONE. Now, they were heavily watching every move their opponents were making, and strategizing every play they made themselves, but eventually were overwhelmed. Now, as they sit in re-spawn, they notice no advantage has been achieved. If anything, the other team is still dominating their own team, the hero's team. They ponder the situation briefly, and then proceed to give and in depth analysis of each and every one of their own team mates performance, while they were doing their own task. An omniscient feat, no doubt. "What are you guys doing? You are trash, I am 1 v x at far(or wherever), how can we have no points? How are we losing? GG, you suck, stay in gold forever, stay in your trailer, you piece of trash".... Inspiring, nonetheless, his team mates fail to be motivated. One ignorant team mate of theirs questions the possibility that the enemy too, has a "hero", and perhaps this hero is better, and that perhaps the hero of their own team, wasn't actually doing anything helpful, regardless of what he thought. Perhaps, a glance at the mini-map would have told the hero, that their fighting prowess was better utilized with his allies, so they could actually gain an advantage, instead of being wrecked by the other team's hero. But, I digress. Shut up kitten, not top stats, uninstall... GG

And still in pvp forums giving some. ...input...I guess....good to know that....I reckon.....

Mmr doesn't matter because as is, the system is being gamed by your top players. I normally encourage playing with teams and duos, but right now.... I can't. I've witnessed players throwing. Top players duo-ing with a silver alt 100 ap account and the mechanics of a helio clone. All of the top 100 try their hardest to avoid each other. They keep alt on the LB as placeholders for throwing up top too There is no integrity to the game. It's not so much about class balance as it is about player behavior. Duo probably should be removed. Teams shouldn't come into ranked, but tournament rewards should be looked at. The matches should just put randomly 5 v 5 against each other. Ranked is basically RA, and it's just better to remove elements for these guys to game the system.... By making it totally chaos.

Which cc spam? Spam can't be from multiple players, it has to come from a single player, when talking about games. What CC spam?

Finishing is fine, even faster finishing would be better. Edit: Remove downstate

PvP can have no passives. Roles must be defined and selected must be confined. Heal is no dps. Dps is no heal. Tank is no dps. DPS is no tank. Mobility must sacrifice sustain. Sustain must sacrifice mobility. Stealth should not blind. Blind must be limited duration. Projectile block must be reduced. Pets should not do 7k, 6k, 5k damage. Pets should use their own stats for everything, including the poison app, not the rangers. Stealth trapper runes need to go. FTP should not be in ranked.

more matches means harder matches been in p1,2,3 or L, but not now? dont matter, you gonna fight them

I dont want it in acro, it is fine in daredevil. The only acro that needs any possible rework are the 300s, and pain response should be changed in a way where it isn't passive, but it's fine otherwise. The traitlines provide perks to certain weapon sets more so than others, but can provide an option for those that don't have the expansion. I listen to well thought out and correct criticism. You are just witch hunting and throwing out random unnecessary nerfs, on things that have already been nerfed. No one is spoiled, we literally want to be able to play the game. Revenant already has a spot in the meta as a team fighter.

Do what you enjoy. Do what makes you happy. GJ on plat in this shitshow, means you have talent for the game. Good luck.

A different meta depending on the map? Oh no, the variety!

We have imaginary scenarios about people with tough matches and too many of one class, but it is because they also swap during the map selection. Just lock everyone in from the moment they queue, no swapping. People will choose better what they really want to play. kitten matches are a real thing

It's literally 5 people on alt accounts who don't like the map, or at the very least, can't stand the variety. This little toxic discord mafia keeps variety out, and the exploits in. Confused emotes coming hot. Open every map up to ranked. Anet you can't be bothered to make anything new so put all maps and modes into ranked, even stronghold. Why you limit the game so hard for a few? And the same complain about amulet removal...omegalul

Shadow arts should be the trait that is a must pick for scepter if you want to be support. Remove the poison and siphons from SA and put those into deadly arts or something, like panic strike is old news and good riddance.

If there is a dominance for DP Daredevil, it's because the thief lord bluri uses it. All bluri stans copy big daddy, and even those who don't know who that is copy bluri, because whatever he plays during the MAT, is what is META for thief. Whatever nerfs they do in the next patch, if it changes anything, the META will once again be decided by whatever he plays, and then the lot will be right back in here asking for that to be nerfed, despite even calling it weak and useless before hand. The thing is, if thief were playing more S/D style in the META, guardians, supports, and classes that rely on boons to succeed (engineer, ele, ranger) would suffer. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PawAwiVlFw2YisLGJOaT6rTA-z5IeKZKE6VEUxCojJgtGA But, right now, the mantra is that acro is crap, but I don't buy it. I don't want to see guardian nerfed, because it has a hard limiter that no one plays, because big daddy doesn't play it.

Acro is not terrible. But, if we assumed your were right, (you are not), then you are going out of your way to completely gut and destroy the one competitive thief build, (as you claim). This thread wants stealth gone, and you and some others want to delete dash. Not malicious at all.

Core thieves, s/d, Not all thieves play dp. Daredevil Is better for dp, and acro is great for s/d. Stick to ranger

Do thief never ever pluses a fight? Thief is not supposed to start mid anymore? Don't stop has its own strengths, immolize is essentially only able to stop an acro user's for 1/4 second max with nothing to worry a out because dodge will give swiftness, swiftness can remove movement hindrance which is cool because if you use sword 2, you won't be immobilized lol.....hitting steal will remove it too....it is way stronger than you are trying to make it out to be.

Nah, it's rough when you got everyone vomiting cripple, chill, and immobile. Let's stop pretending they are not. You won't regen in a team fight.

And here it is, another mesmer main trying to compare daredevil to mirage, and what it was. Mirage still chain invulns and have many sources of detarget and gaining cloak, and blurred inscriptions, all while being able to cast and no exhaustion. It's not OP, and mesmer is never taking the role of thief, and these nerfs you want in addition to shadow arts, are never happening lol. We can argue all day, but it aint gonna change /o\

And the pve game is virtually unheared of in the real world. I told someone what I did with my freetime recently, and mentioned this game's name. They asked me 3 times "wat?"

Then just play ranked.
