12 in pvp/WvW and 8 in pve. The cd reduction trait reduces it by more than intended though. So, fix that first then reevaluate it.

It isn't a block in function though, it just reduces the strike damage of the triggering effect to 0 damage, everything else about the triggering attack goes through.

Allowing bladetrail to bounce off of terrain and speeding up 100B to a 2s cast time would be enough for the weapon to be good, though I would not say no to 100B and Arcing Slice getting 240 range hit boxs.

Anet has offered them for free through the gemstone before, so the code to have them in the gemshop exists. So, I can see Anet offering them by stacks of 5, 10, and 25 for 150, 220, and 700 gem amounts. Would be a good way for them to monetize in anti loot box countries.

Want to see fewer Spellbreakers? Buff Power Berserker and overhaul Bladesworn completely. Sometimes it isn't some perceived overperformance on the spec, but the lack of performance or boredom with other specs that is the problem.

This is the only comment that makes sense in this thread other than Sahne's first one.

Nah, that is the case in all modes. Stability stops Dispelling Force from activating, ditto Body Blow.

I think at minimum they need to undo the WvW nerfs to WoD. I also think that the disenchantment effect needs to be added onto a few more sources, like Break Enchantments and maybe one of the traits with an ICD attached to it.

Hounds are fun. Personally, the 5% boost from PP is /meh versus having a steady flow of stability. But to each their own. Headbutt certainly shouldn't have that awkward drawback anymore.

Core Warrior F2 when?

Brave Stride in PvE will work every time.

I got to side with Sahne on this one. Evades, stealth, shadow steps, and blinds are what the thieves have to survive with. I've had some epic duels with thieves in the past and it is somewhat anti-cathartic to see them lose 60% of their HP in one hit and drop like a sack of bricks because I got that second good hit in during their animation locks.

'Block' and 'Block Projectiles' are two separate things game mechanic wise. Since EF explicitly 'Blocks Projectiles' and is not a 'Block' it does not get turned into a 'Reflect.' Should 'Block Projectiles' also become a reflect via the shield mastery trait? Absolutely. Will it? I doubt it, there would be too much QQ from certain sections of the forums.

There is usually so much stability flying around though that the self-stun rarely happens. At which point... Why even have it?

I'll piggy back on this. Getting your first few legendaries is a journey for sure. At some point you realize what you really need to prioritize versus grinding individually, and then legendaries just kind of happen on their own. Things like not gambling in the Mystic Forge for Clovers and instead getting them from other sources.

Damage reduction is all multiplicative now. There were cases where some were additive, and 100% reduction was possible in some modes on some classes some of the time (100% if you were a rev though in PvE).

That is the Paladin set in PvP.

Sorry, Sobx and I have this habit. It's all in good fun. Always fun bantering with you buddy. Have a good night.

There really wasn't much to be done, just gather from the arcane chests while lighting lanterns along the way and shoot a fireball at the meta bosses at the last minute. My point being, you can play casual, at any point for prolonged periods of time, and become a casual player. Having acquired resources to allow you to play casual does not mean that your casual play is not casual anymore. Having played hard in the past does not mean that one's casual play in the present is not casual.

TBH I just want the reveal applications to be pbaoes that don't need a target. That'll work.

Headbutt is very useful and versatile. If the elite utilities were ever unlocked for all specs I would staple it onto my bar and never remove it.

WHEN.

Hopefully they address Tactics in a meaningful way next quarterly patch.

So a few years of normal gameplay offsets the past 1-2 years of very casual play? By that token ever having been a casual player means no one could ever be a pro. Strange.

I'd put it in place of the barrier personally. Give it a 6s duration.
