Felipe.1807 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 We all were kind expecting some nerfs here and there, i am happy that it happened, but...will FB(bunker) still have a place on the meta? Once again the F2 heals got nerfed and now F3 was targeted too...the way i see it, FB was a must have cause of the extreme condi from Scourge, now Scourge got "fixed" will no longer be as popular as it was(i guess) leaving more room for power builds...power builds were allways kind of counter for FB, a full combo from a Holosmith could drop you nearly dead, but now with the F3 nerf FB will be even more fragile against powerbuilds, the sinergy between the on demand block with the trait that gives heal on block was key component of the FB survival....the worst part is that FB(DH or Guard) didnt get any compensation for this nerf....spirit weapons?! lol is this a joke...I honestly dont get it the constant nerfs on healing and support...whats is the point of FB? You telling me that a Valor-Honor-FB with max healing power and vit shouldnt be able to hold a point? That just cause i dont get oblitereted by stealth attack from a Holosmith, then this means that FB is broken? If FB aint supposed to hold points anymore, why not buff the other useless traits? Condi FB is a complete joke, or theres someone on PvP that falls for F1 1,1,1,1 spam? Power I believe is even weaker then core guard and DH, saw a few ones last Season, and they were allways deadweight....Might be overreacting, but is just weird to see Holosmiths not getting some damage nerfs...Warriors even got buffed lol and Druids didnt even got touched...atleast by the reaction on the foruns, Scourge and condi Mirage got some heavy nerfs...

Sorem.9157 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I agree that Firebrands are very likely going to disapear after today. It has basically no role or viable builds for PvP, in my opinion. The way they nerfed it caused not only Magi Bunker to be nerfed, but also Radiance builds that relied on Mantra of Liberation. Those builds were already even squeeshier than the Magi Bunk to power spikes to begin with, now i am afraid they are probably not going to be usable. Not only due to not having Aegis and better Retaliation/Stun Break uptime, but also due to the probable rise of the power meta again. Honestly, i feel like the changes nerfed those builds much more than it did Magi Bunker, because they relied on Courage and Liberation much more than their full bunker variant. As a firebrand and guardian main i must confess that the balance patch has made me quite disapointed. I feel like taking things away without giving anything back leads to toxicity in the community. ArenaNet has been doing that for ages now and i am not sure if it is the right philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shippage.1983 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 It still has it's place being a bruiser class for PvP, and still has great buffs and team support. It's just not as broken as it was before. Guardian doesn't need perma aegis to be viable, and that's exactly why it needed to be taken away. You actually need to use your dodges like every other class instead of just self-healing all fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jul.7602 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 What are you guys talking about? Bunker FB is still good. Sure our sustain took a nerf, but most of everyone else's dps is nerfed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
