Chiral.8915 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) In WvW alacrity gives 25% imp recharge speed. Before the patch, the trait gave alazcrity 50% improved recharge and now it only gives 35%. So it's a nerf of about 15% less recharge speed.

katte nici.9483 Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 But it also reduces the duration. I think the duration reduction takes away more than the "improvement" adds to its effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got nerfed because a boon that should have been chrono exclusive was given to everyone else. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiem.9648 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Yes basicaly the benifit is to tiny and close to not noticable so you should not take it. cause the downside make not sense anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katte nici.9483 Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Why does this trait even have a built in duration reduction when they balance it based on 100% alacrity uptime anyway? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Hey Hey, no more talk like that. You'll make the people that hated HoT angry because they had to play Chrono because everyone wanted Chrono on their party. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was shareable from the beginning. -> chrono was a mandatory role. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes absolutely. We have a trait that makes us less effective. But devs are ... and they hate mesmer so they won't notice it before 2 or 3 years or they know it already and are completely trolling us. For instance Sword of decimation has still a CD of 25s when as for the june 27th update it should has a CD of 18s. Enjoy.

To make sure that the player feel the need to play in a group in order to benefit fully from the trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget Seize the Moment still has incorrect duration despite the tooltip - testing shows that the actual duration per clone, even in PvE, is 0.75s and not 1s. Such an easy number fix but it’s been going on for at least 1 year now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
