Nefras.7314 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) Initially, they decreased the boon corrupts on Axe 3 and Spiteful Spirit from 2 to 1. Later, in June, the corrupts were completely removed and transformed into strips, still limited to just 1. Now, the reactivated Sword 3 leap is receiving 2 boon corrupts with the same animation as Axe 3/Spiteful Spirit. It would be great if we could have all our corrupts back now. It seems they weren't as overpowering as thought, especially considering they're being reintroduced on a new weapon.

Seuchenherbst.2746 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 They'll just remove the corrupts from sword before release. Enjoy it during the beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefras.7314 Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 Yeah I already got jeabaited. It was 2 corrupts on stream in pve and only 1 in wvw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raught.3294 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 tbh WvW and sPvP kind of feels horrible since Boon strips were massively massively removed. Every class especially guardians and heralds just spams boons for existing, but theres no counter to it anymore. I really miss Scourge's boon purging. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyBat.9034 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) The only thing I want for necro is for the signet trait change to be reverted. I had a wicked cool spite, death magic, reaper build using greatsword that was super fun to play and it got completely gutted by that change. There's no reason to ever take the new trait because it's just worse than Chill of Death. Edited November 29, 2023 by SleepyBat.9034 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingDawn.5796 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Well, that's why Heal scourge is so strong with a Greatsword, especially since power scourge is not that strong currently. I don't otherwise know why, they think less 1 less corrupt on axe for example, needed 'balancing' though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyBat.9034 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I don't mind losing the corrupts from Axe and the spite trait line, I've always looked at those as being power damage + boon rip thematically. I didn't like losing the corrupt on dagger 3 and 5 and the trait that goes with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love how the text still states: 'Cripple nearby foes and convert their boons into conditions' - Spiteful Spirit But youre absolutely right that corrupts fit d3/5 and curses with weakening shroud much more in terms of class design.

Urgot.9084 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Dagger 5 Skill feels weak some auto attacks are more rewarding. its fine change with axe and spite now remove boons. Axe and Focus are kinda the Range Boon Remove Weapons and Spite Supports this playstyle. Curse should the real Boon into Condtion theme Scepter already has this effect and curse Support this. Offhand dagger is part of this. yeah aoe boon into Condition seems problem in modes like WvW maybe give weakening shroud and dagger 5 addtional effect or Condtions idk the best part about this trait is the weakness on crit offhand dagger 5 effect needs more rewarding effect for this cast time it has. Main hand dagger and warhorn seems blood theme but idk this weapons need rework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do kind of agree, the main hand dagger should almost be reworked into more of a support weapon. I wouldn't want anet to change warhorn because I like the kit as it is, but maybe they could add more support when you trait it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhorn 4 is fine but im not a fan of warhorn 5. old Warhorn 5 with strike damage and criple was way better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
