Skyscale is just really a small thing compared to griffon to be honest. But i do agree with you, the game is completely kittened up in a design, there are literally zero information in-game how to for example create ascended gear, how to get precursors, how to get X, Y and Z. Crafting is a black magic, you literally need to occupy both monitor screens with a game and second with a youtube or wiki or some other guide. FFXIV or in your case ESO got it right, and nobody is complaining how braindead those games are, boho. No lifers enjoy it, because they spent 12 years already in this game and did everything step by step on their characters, but the entire game design only shoo away every single new player out there who is quickly overwhelmed by this all once he hit lvl 80 and get into HoT expansion in which he leaves the game not being able to figure out how to get kitten done, like gliders or mounts... Sure he could get better, but why the kitten should he if he just jump to other game? And the best thing about it are people who give no kitten about this problem and just makes jokes in this thread, okay jimmy we know you spent 60 thousand hours in the game, are you willing to do everything from scratch like new players do? Can you remember how u got ur griffon or how u farmed champion points, how u got max lvl crafter or how u made ur legendary weapon step by step? You have no idea how much grinding newcomers have to do today compared to what it was when the first expansion came out. And to top it off, afk farmers ruin the market for new players, who are told to farm 2k gold out of thin air to get essential stuff done. Good luck

You are playing a class that has a mechanic tied to constant combat, while still lacking mobility to get that combat going, speed to allow you to stick to the opponent without him just jump 1 km away in 1 sec and sustain/def. This both applies to pvp and pve. You cant get your mechanic working before mob either dies or pvp opponent has more than 70 IQ and actually denies you of rage. If only damage was decent, but its not even good enough to compensate for the effort. Everything in this class screams "dont play me i am 2011 design", greatsword design still have not changed, hundredbladesintoair.exe. I used to play this game for so many years, i still have no kittening idea what the mace or rifle is for exactly. Still im asking myself a question what is so "elite" about "elite" skills on warrior, you get to be an elite useless class or what? GW2 content creators put this class high on tier lists to troll everyone into playing this garbage, so they can have fodder to kill on their firebrand or whatever. People saying power warrior is playable are overdosing on cope. yeyeye eNd GaEM iZ pLaYaBle on ALL cLaSseS, you know what else is playable? Using single sword and 3 skills for the entire game, shocking. I i could also play norn only skills and still get stuff done in this game, but that doesnt mean its fun

The reality is, they are only destroying their game with all those weird nerfs on classes. If something is considered good, just leave it be and make other classes be good as well, same goes for weapon skills and traits. I would rather play a game where i experience somekind of a powerspike than struggling to kill elite mobs or doing open world content, because some genius in Anet decided to nerf my class by 30% across the board. This is not moba game, we cant just change our classes, it takes a hell lot of time to make 1 character, for the love of god Anet stop ruining your game with nerfs.

I have bad news for you, all power builds in this game are inferior to condi builds no matter which spec, excluding those that cant simply apply any condis. Anet ruined power builds with a series of nerfs one after another. This is what this game is going for, the good old nerf irelia meta, where everything is nerfed and not fun anymore.

The least played class in the game is getting nerfed, and here you are making a clown of yourself.

That 43k is unrealistic for the most of the content available in game, its includes 100% uptime on all boons and buffs and assumes the target is large and doesnt move at all. In realistic conditions catalyst was middle tier dps, now its dogwater.

In your post you are missing one major flaw the catalyst has, which the golem dps checks wont show. Catalyst has no way to keep up all their boons and is unable to do the same dps on moving raid target like it does on golem checks. In reality the spec is doing below mediocore dmg EVERYWHERE where the target moves even a little, way lower than any other top played dps specs. It doesnt even have dmg, it doesnt have heals, sustain, mobility, utility, deffensive stats and is boring and terrible to play. Balancing the game around golem checks with 100% uptime on all buffs and boons by someone who uses macro to execute rotation flawlessly is one big middle finger to the community as a whole. Think about it, how much straight out WRONG decisions has been made by same people on other specs? Thats why we have such a large problem with useless weapons skills and weapons, anet balancing team is plain out ignorant.

Thanks arenanet for such amazing spec design, i love "casting" some circles on the ground that does absolutely nothing, woho.

The spec is boring, the mechanics are bland and uninspired, it has no mobility, no hp, no sustain (sylvari heal is better than cat), no boons, no special and strong traits, most of the weapon skills are dogwater, utility skills are bland shouts, the ultimate skill is less of an ultimate and more of a normal utility skill and the only thing the spec had going for is when snowcrow was able to do massive dps on the golem dps check with macro and 100% uptime on all boons and buffs. Now it doesnt even have that. Arena net competing with zenimax for the prize for worst class designs in mmorpgs in 2022.

So they nerf the class that is only good against golem dps check, but complete garbage everywhere else? It only had a DPS to the large sitting in place target, its not even fun to play ... And leave alone nerfing pvp, but pve? Is it 2012 year or what? No other mmorpg nerf classes like this, THIS IS NOT MOBA GAME where i could choose a character and play it in 1 minute, each character requires massive time investment, which most of us dont have. This balance and class design team is garbage, even Elder scrolls online doing better job balancing and designing their classes, and it is and achievement to do it worse than them. xD

I like some of the hammer skills buts that basically it. Gap closers are lackluster and so is the mobility of the class, the F5 mechanics is complete dogshit and the utility skills are uninspired boring stances that makes me want to go to sleep rather than play the game with them. The only new thing this class has is skill #3, which makes it kinda interesting. Skills #2 are fun too, everything else is pure garbage. GW2 devs made catalyst like we are still in early 2000 with world of wacraft vanilla. I expected something more, more dynamic gameplay and nice animations, faster more impactful gameplay. Clicking 1 skill and seeing my character just waving 1 hand to get some random buff does not make me go "wow good game". They really think designing and balancing the game around huge sitting target is what makes players like the game, lol no.

I didnt played yet, im downloading but i heard a lot of stuff from my ex guildmates that elite specs are underwhelming and class design went into garbage bin with the sustain nerfs that came to the game. I played elementalist, but hearing that my class is lackluster puts me off with it being nerfed in every possible way. I was mainly a PVE player and really enjoy the class design, but hearing they nuked classes i played really puts me off away and makes me want to go back to Lost Ark.

I think hot maps are really good ones with unique enemies.But i absolutely hate pof maps. Those branded mobs are having ridiculous aggro range it feels and plays 120% unfun and i would rather spend whole day in tangled jungle than the joko map.

2024 is realistic date and late december when we are at it.Why?Because they fired or lost majority of staff that worked on previous expansions and the game itself.Once you change your staff in web dev and programong it takes incredible amount of time to develop anything. The guys who wrote origonal code are probably not working in anet anymore, even if you hire best programers and coders in the world it wont make it easier at all.

Update on topic, gave elementalist a longer try and: Any power crit based build on it simply cannot compete with others its the garbage beyond garbage, long animations on low scaling skills on a paper "cannon" profession. Berserker gear is completely useless, marauders arent better, any mix of vit and thoughness puts you on low power and you cant manage might properly, you will be lucky to maintain at least 10. The only build that is worth playing is tanky condi with trailblazers or dire. Viper builds have bigger damage, but they suffer the same as power. Weaver is competitive spec, tempest is a joke, core well you tell people you hate to play core thats what found out. You could play condi weaver well and it coulx perform, but forget about being a top lvl dps its never going to happen, there always going to be some crazy firebrand or revenant that will outdps you.One playable build for open world, 1 underwhelming support healer, 1 full dps build that is extremely frustrating to play. Thats it.
