Razor.6392 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Shatterstone: Increased cooldown from 3 seconds to 6 seconds in PvP and WvW. Water Trident: Reduced power coefficient from 1.25 to 1.0 in PvP and WvW. Reduced the bonus damage from 50% to 33% in WvW only. Hurl: Reduced power coefficient from 0.33 to 0.26 in WvW and PvP. I'm sure core, weaver and tempest scepter users deserved this nerf. Signets also just got reworked and one patch later nerfed into oblivion because of ONE FREAKING SPEC.

This is what Anet does, same thing happened to core warrior when Spellbreaker was overpreforming. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzyp.6295 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Getting flashbacks to PoF when Weaver was over performing. Why is ANet's first instinct to nerf core skills lol 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khalisto.5780 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 guess catas play signet hammer now or dagger focus same build, remove earth signet to get earth armor or in a heavy power comp remove the water signet and keep earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromazene.4807 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Well now you're experiencing what I experienced on holosmith when shield cooldowns were inexplicably increased.... in an attempt to weaken holosmith. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downstate.4697 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 They 100% shouldn’t have touched the weapons other than scepter fire auto. Might nerfs alone would of done the trick. I am upset, but I am glad for a meta shift 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreams.3128 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Jfc, this is exactly what I was talking about. Yells about everything that is NOT Cata and then Anet listens. This kitten has me so tilted that it is repeating AGAIN. Warrior, Engineer, and now Ele. Good god just unplug PVP and send these people away. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankiness maintained but now people can decide to leave which I guess is fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khalisto.5780 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 i just realized they sent FA weaver to the grave with this patch and did not adress the signet cata, now you can only play scepter on condi builds lol 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stallic.2397 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) I agree, they can hit Scepter fire 1 a little harder but they shouldn't touch core weapons any further. This is a catalyst problem, not core. If anything, increase CD of shield block and decrease booms solely provided by catalyst. Then address hammer weapon as needed if over nerfed BTW: I play weaver in pvp ever since catalyst complaints became rampant. Why get used to playing a build so overpowered and gonna get nerfed soon?

I guess we can just accept the fact we are NEVER getting a proper power build in this lifetime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exzen.2976 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Unfortunately this is how anet balance. Its consistently been so over the years. I knew they'd "balance" cata by hitting core weapon skills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuma.1503 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 The same reason why they routinely gut core engi. Don't worry, it doesn't get better. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apharma.3741 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 The bigger issue is they nerfed signets baseline in a way they really didn't need to accommodate a problematic trait and spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also atrocious balance, but hey. It's ANet balance. 10 years destroying builds and specs unrelated to the problem while giving zero compensation buffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an AoE issue and Catalyst had the most so hence the strongest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
