-Removed all the elites specialization from pvp

Enjoy

Then you'll realize that if you can only play core specs they're RIDICULOUSLY unbalanced. Core Thief/Guard/War/Ele are gods and core Engi/Necro/Ranger/Mesmer are plebs. Core Rev has never existed cause it came out with Herald but... point is, you'd be back on the forums crying in .5 minutes

my bet is Anet will enforce/lead players to stupid gimmick rotations.. that or balance wont be nothing special at all, some changes here and there, that wont solve how the lameness in this game works, just a tweaks to make it look less lame..

If anything. My money would be on this outcome over any other.

Two best EU teams used pre-hot comps with Mesmers (Helseth & Misha), and your team used Necro (Nos)... but well, that was the past, we got different amulets and now we have "rebalanced" trait lines around elite specializations, so I guess they wouldn't work anymore even in -core- meta.

Yes, because now the game is very balanced right?Also I never cried on forum and I play since release.I just would prefere a pvp gameplay more simple (not easier) and more clean, like it was pre HoT. With less spam of everything (condi, cleans, burst, cc, heals, boons, corruption)I would enjoy it more than now, that rarely I log on.

But that’s my opinion, that’s why I wrote “BALANCE I WISH”

Yep, totally irrelevant due to Acrobatics/Flanking Strike buffs, Radiance buffs, Strength buffs, and so forth, half the core specializations haven't been lifted up to the power of even second rate builds.

Strength line buff only made power core warrior slightly better then core power gs war pre april 2014 imo

Core necro was only ever used for signet corrupts. Interestingly enough signet corrupts where deleted from the game on the August 8th patch. Without signet corrupts there is pretty much zero chance of a valid core necro build emerging, unless literally every single core traitline on necro is overhauled.

Thats not true. Terrormancer was played before new (read: current) traitlines were given, thus before Signet build became viable... but I agree that core Necro needs reworks, mostly for his shroud which is so outdated machanicaly, just look at Holosmith, thats how Shroud could look like instead of meh 2nd HP bar.

You do realize that no one uses DL anymore, since the bug got Fixed right? Savant is 100% better option now.
