  • Defy Pain: Increased the cooldown from 60 seconds to 90 seconds in PvP only
  • Last Stand: Increased the cooldown from 40 seconds to 90 seconds in PvP only
  • Shrug it Off: Increased the cooldown from 25 seconds to 60 seconds in PvP only
  • Dead or Alive: Increased the cooldown from 30 seconds to 60 seconds in PvP only

Is lazy design and balancing and it does NOT help with this:

For the love of Grenth, stop balacing this way. I have nothing against nerfing passives, but what you did there is simply kill off the trait. It's useless! Simple as that. 2 seconds of Defy Pain on a 90 sec cooldown? Think of it and tell me with a straight face that you think that's fine. You keep on nerfing stuff so that you kill it off and when you buff something you overdo it to the point where it's the absolute only right choice to take. If you're going to nerf those passive traits OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE!

The more you do things that way, the more you pigeonhole builds, the more useless traits there are in the game and the harder it will get for you to clean things up.

Stop killing stuff when nerfing, stop being lazy and only adjust cooldowns, change the mechanics, get creative!

bruh, defense trait is way too good for pvp, it's a must in pvp..since forever....tbh even with nerf, i doubt there will be any trait line changes in the meta build...also these traits are way too good compared to the traits of same line....even after nerf, i don't see myself using armored attack or sundering mace...

btw why this patch is not live yet?.........

Tbh, good or not, that's debatable and it wasn't really the point of what I was trying to say. I just think that it's rather sad that we get to pick traits that do something passive for 2 seconds every 90 seconds, not to mention that in WvW for example, passive traits like that can get triggered simply by an annoying aggressive NPC raptor. Players have no control over such trait and I would call that bad design.

If they're looking at nerfing passives then I think that they could make that little bit of an extra effort and actually put some creativeness into trait designs instead of just increasing the cooldowns and reducing durations. Boring.

well, friend, if you prefer sundering mace or armored attacked instead of defy pain, nothing is stopping you to use them, lol.how is less passive bad design, lol whatpassive itself is already boring, and they are not changing it to active, because there needs to be passive option in the game.so less passive up time = less boring...get it?

Hey folks!

A few notes:We'd mentioned several times that we were going to consider unsplitting some things. We decided to hold off on that for now, but we will be considering unsplits for the next full balance release.

On a scythe and a prayer.

Great list hmmm....are you still on board with nerfing stability on corona blast? Last update you decided to limit the stability application to actual hit rather than free stability application

Yeah, that's still happening.

Is this list in addition to the original proposed changes? Or is this a entirely new list and the old proposed changes were scrapped?

• We decided not to do the following buffs;• Heartseeker• Shadow Shot

why????you already reduce the aa by 15% and PI by 30% from a build that isnt even meta atm, and the only buffs for spells that already hit very low (4k heartseeker @25% so powerfull) doesnt even get buffed? you "devs" really want to push dp out of the game do you? just to make deadeye viable? thats fucking dumb

edit: literally nobody wanted any dp nerfs but instead sd nerfs and in reality dp gets nerfed more than sd

just for my understanding: you wrote in original post that shadow shot will cost 5 instead of 4 initiative. is that nerf still happened or it is cancelled too?

Edith: oh i see, it was already answered

Ranger
Traits• Rugged Growth: Reduced the healing by 50% in PvP only

Is this edit in reference to the healing coefficient or to the base healing of the trait? A lot of ranger and soulbeast builds take Wilderness Survival, so I wouldn't want their sustain hurt by changes meant to tone down druid.

Yeah, it's the coefficient.
