Herald Damage Reduction Bug


Recommended Posts

The number of invincible Heralds is multiplying the longer this is left active.  It is SO easy to reproduce, it doesn't need anything special like the ele exploit needed. Just set your build, turn on your elite skill, and life (almost) forever!

ANet has a proven, perfect track record of 15-plus years of balance incompetence, since GW1 beta.

This patch proves that their record of non-existent balance skills continues unchallenged.

And then, the mini expac SotO will add thousands of combinations (new available weapons, split of runes and relics, new runic perks, etc).

It is like a 10-year-old student struggling with basic Arithmetic but thinks they can fare better with College Calculus. Sigh...

this is as kittenous as the weaver bug a couple months back, at least in PvP. So exciting to go explore a new meta and new builds to just not be able to play because a minimum of one of these people is in every match. Love that you can't report people for utilizing an exploit as well, so you just have to pick the next best option, of which there isn't really.

It is not a bug, it is working as intended, because (from the game update notes):

In its place, Draconic Echo will now cause facet passive effects to grant additional bonuses to the herald.

rotfl. This live "balance update" without a beta test makes WvW more fun than the last WvW-"Beta".   😂

Exactly this.

ANet is making a ridicule of themselves with the patch. But they can go deeper in the mud: if they dare to ban players for exploiting the VERY SAME FEATURE THEY PROUDLY  IMPLEMENTED then that will definitely be the biggest shame and hypocrisy in video game history.

A decent firm (and this happens very frequently in Japan) would call a press conference, say "mea culpa" and apologise.

Seeing so many heralds willingly exploit it in pvp and just playing bunker brings me so much joy. Much fun, very wow. 10/10 gaming

ANet could buy time to find a proper fix by temporarily disabling the Herald specialisation: the effect is not only in PvP and WvW, since in PvE heralds are able to solo raids.
