2/10

Spellbreaker buffs for 1 point. Empower Allies rework gets the other point. Everything else is a garbage dump.

Edit: Scratch that 2/10. This was before I found out about the big "oopsie". Now, it's a big fat -10/10.

Why erase all uniques buffs for might/fury/regen pulse everywhere ?

 

2/10

[otto.5684]

3/10.
 

Unless there is going to be a pvp patch right after, the pvp changes are… pathetic.

 

PvE wise, Herald changes completely miss the mark. Warrior changes are not enough. Guardian gets changes to… signets? What? None chrono mesmer changes are decent. 
 

For a large balance patch following an expansion this is mediocre.

A tentative 2.5? 

There's some interesting and fun sounding stuff to play around with but overall the direction they take with the balance is just... off.

Plus way too much focus on pve boonsupport at the detriment of pvp, fun and flavor. If this is supposed to be our "big" quarterly patch... 

[Xarrontas.7948]

Currently 0/10, depending on how the next patches are, they can still fix/tweak it, hopefully they take this big backlash in account and start taking balance more seriously. 

[Mongk.2458]

Is this what they call a massive patch?? Serously?? Is this what they mean with revisiting older weapons? Jesus, this company.... I doubt they are holding the really important thing, not these kitten boring damage to show later. Oh my god, what a joke.

GUILD WARS 2 is slowly becoming CLONE WARS.

[senftube.6081]

2/10

Boon Spam, D/P Thief literally killed the assasin theme on it is gone, Deadeye will be dead, Celestial not nerfed, Habringer the most broken shitass i ever saw got no nerf.

Traitline for thief which should get a rework didn't receive anything (Acro still 300 CD traits,wack and outdated).

Trickery still mandatory because without it you can't play the class outside of Specter. I really kittening hate how ArenaNet force me to play the new ESpec.

Artists have revealed to be completely out of touch with their player-base. Each person on the team needs to be put on a performance management plan, one requirement being completion of all PvE CMs, or becoming high ranked in PvP, or leading a WvW guild and seeing respectable success, ideally completing requirements with 3 classes minimum.

A resounding 0/10.

I've lost all hope since the time patch notes were posted by a dev that used Smiter's Boon as their avatar. If you know...

About 1/10 or 2/10

Herald changes are decent, mechanist are good changes, the rest is abysmally misfire.

Oh shoot we got to make a balance patch uhhhh buff ele staff in a meaningless way that's a neat trick/10

[Vidit.7108]

I'm still picking through them but it's missed the mark in so many ways. There is some hope out there for a few good new support builds but there is a lot of "yikes that's not good" in 2/3s of the notes. 

3/10

[Nomad.4301]

I give it a 1/10 only because my Healy-Vindicator build may have gotten more interesting in WvW, but literally ever other change must've been a genuine attempt by Anet to see how many people they could tick off with a single patch while providing no changes of any meaning or value.
