People know that weaponmaster training is going to shake up the meta, and there will probably be a balance drop along with the release on top of that.

 

[Shagie.7612]

idk, i think there's a lot of super screwed up things and it's very painful and apparent if you play something that's currently down in the trenches

even specs that the community largely doesn't consider "good" still get away with a lot of misplays, poor CD usage, positioning, etc
strong specs just straight up have more things to press and they're all individually stronger on top of that

it's design decisions that aren't fixable by number balancing, though

I'm just enjoying the matchmaking design.

If I get nerfed, I downgrade and play in a lower league. I still win around half of the matches there. Which is good.
If I get buffed, I promote and play in a higher league. I still win around half of the matches there. Which is good.

I regret that Stone Heart is nerfed, because that kept my fragile tempest alive some of the times in sPvP. But I have had buffs in the past like Ele scepter buffs. It is just what it is. And if I can still get wins around 50% of the matches I'm fine. I could not care less where I'm on the ranked ladder as I will never compete at the top anyway.

[SoftFootpaws.9134]

there's no need to worry about balance when every game is silvers versus platinums. the league rankings sort out the balance for you since the stacked team always wins and it doesn't matter what you do because of matchmaking.

 

go ahead and play your meme build since you won't be facing anyone even close to your level of expertise anyway.

I am tired of balance fails.

I am tired of fake promises.

I have no expectations for current team.

I have even less expectations for upcoming "DLC". 

All is vain.

[shion.2084]

I think Soul Beast / Untamed super damage  is the most obvious one to most people.  However Bladesworn is definitely obscene in its ability to sustain and do damage at the same time.  Hopefully they adjust that.

Exactly this. You hardly find something anymore that requires brain and skill these days.  Everything became way more spammy and forgiving including conquest rotations with all that mobility power creep. I had few years break and it is insane how mechanically easy everything has become to play, no matter how op or up in comparison something is. And the dumb down continues. Happens when bad to average ex player with zero work experience as dev, zero game and class knowledge and an unprofessional mindset balance the game into their favor and taste.

@Azure The Heartless.3261 just waiting for the final hit that PvP will be death for ever called weaponsmaster plus new relics xD

[Multicolorhipster.9751]

The silence and defeated lack of care when it comes to profession balance is the only blessing ranked DuoQ bequeathed unto PvP in the 5, going on 6 years we've been plagued with it.

[pukish.5784]

Everyone is playing other games atm I guess. Baldur's Gate 3 is quite fun 50-100hours. You can forget this dumb game for a while 👍

[deathdealer.2197]

Sb damage is pretty much the only thing imo would prob be fine with a Pig maul and a removal of immob from lash

Personally I think bladesworn isnt as bad as people make it out to be

What is there to say that hasn't been said already? The explosive power creep is insane, I personally do not think any support builds are meta anymore because we cannot keep up with the amount of damage being put out.

I don't see this changing because the devs have no idea what they are doing.

If the damage is low....gw2 playerbase cries" can't kill bunkers"

If the damage is high....gw2 playerbase cries" omg...I die in 2s"

If the damage is medium......gw2 playerbase cries" omg things don't die...game boring"

Can't have balance complaints when no one plays to have a complaint.

When the goal was to make PvP a meaningless, casual, no skill needed spam clown fiesta most skilled ppl with competitive mindset lose respect and interest in? Than yes.

I have zero issues with whatever the damage or ttk is, I do however have an issue that rears it's head every once in awhile where support role feels useless because our numbers aren't competitive. I'm doing 300k, and even with some builds 400k in healing and my teammates still just melt and die nearly instantly.

[Luclinraider.2317]

For the most part everyone has just given up and just plays GW2 casually at this point.

It has become a well known casual MMO where people save their competitive side for other MMO's like WoW Arena, or even outside the MMO genre all together.

Their PvP from GW1 is so far gone it just doesn't seem like this GW2 team will ever get it, so why bother anymore.
