Quietas.4891 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) How hard do you think this is going to hit FIrebrand DPS? It looks to be removing a fair bit of burning and adding a minor amount of bleeds. Why remove burns from a class that literally has fire in it's name? https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Upcoming_changes_and_features/2023-05-02#Firebrand Edited April 24, 2023 by Quietas.4891 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara.6782 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Seems like they don't like fire in firebrand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephalem.8921 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 It has to hit fb very hard. It does 25% more dps than quick scrap currently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice.5790 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Correct, as long as pure CFB does more damage than a quick scrapper, it needs to be nerfed. I guess as long as it is even remotely capable of doing more than one thing, it needs to be nerfed... 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solstice.5790 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 OP was talking about CFB in general, I was just as confused as you why it was being compared to qscrap. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP was talking about fb dps in general. A completely different person brought up quick scrapper as a reason why the nerf needs to happen and you agreed with that point. Most people complaining about the dps nerf to fb are usually complaining that it will hurt condi fb (not quick) too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapilaj.6108 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Spoiler I agree that qfb needs nerf but not cfb... First after spirits nerfs + radiance trait nef it was super underperforming. Two patches later with mantra changes it caught up with meta to this day(yey) but saying its overpefroming its too much. Still medicore virtuoso player > godlike firebrand on most bosses in term of dps. Cfb is better only in some fractals... There are pl that saying cfb need nerf because it can provide too much utilities to party without losing much dps.. then looks at condi scourge first which can literally carry whole party + after tome changes firebrand can't use any supportive tomes if its focused on doing dps Changing Ashes of Lust from 3->2 stacks will destroy cfb totally. Only good thing cfb had was burst which only works with 4 allies around. Now its gonna have nothing to offer One the other hand we have qfb which is crazy strong and requires nerf where cfb doesnt. The issue is ritualists stats which give rev and fb big flexibility of playstyle. Qfb nerf without literally killing condi firebrand in my opinion can be achieved by: - changing ritualists stats by decreasing vitality or concentration - giving more bleeding as mentioned but nerfing mantra of flame at the same time to not buff cfb to ridiculous numbers - Reworking stalwart speed(useless trait so far) so playing qfb with Legendary Lore without mentioned stalwart speed is impossible. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dithnir.4593 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 'Ashes of Lust' sounds like a Metal album 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I did not agree that / why / how the nerf needs to happen. I just didn't make the sarcasm obvious enough, even with the second line in my initial response, I guess. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
