Coming Tomorrow 7/10/18 – Balance Patch

[Irenio CalmonHuang.2048]

We wanted to give everyone a heads up that we’ve got a balance patch releasing tomorrow.

Since the last update targeted underwater balance and the deadeye in particular, we’ve been listening to your feedback and are addressing some of the issues raised about each of those. There has also been a broad effort to target outliers traits and abilities on each profession.

We look forward to seeing you in game!

Is there a possibility of future reworks in the pipeline Anet?

Cheers for the heads up.

Looking forward to the heavy nerfs to mesmer!

Can't wait! Any progression on UW content is GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you. I look forward to seeing the sparks of imagination Anet may provide in the future.

Shall await the latest updates tomorrow :+1:

Oooh, always nice to hear!

[Omega.6801]

Make Deadeye oneshot doods again ;)

How long will we be looking at for balance patches at the moment if an unintended consequence of tomorrows balance patch makes something very unfun to play against where you see it stacked 3-4 on almost every team like condition scourge was at Path of Fire launch or condition mirage now?

[aswedishtiger.7320]

Finally quitting Black Desert and returning here where devs actually care and talk to their community is such a fresh breath of air. I was choking on so much poison with that game

You guys have no idea how good you have it

I mean eveyone prolly played bdo to 60 for the combat and quit. But having it good here never means stop making it better.

[Riba.3271]

Well, as long as they adress mirage WvW roaming will be pretty balanced.

Btw, could be about time to rework endurance regen foods, Daredevils and warriors were already abusing it before PoF. Now with mirages and holosmiths doing same it has become little bit too opressive.

[Drop The Bass.9516]

Is this patch going to change Epidemic in any way? :)

I guess it's lottery time, let's hope DE doesn't get stomped into the ground because someone complained about P/P / OHKs being to "OP" again.

[Lascax.2163]

Will Xera be fixed too or is she still being "recovering"?

[Rysdude.3824]

Thank you for the heads up!

[Urejt.5648]

cant w8 for deadeye buffs!

[Lunateric.3708]

Thanks a lot for the the heads-up. I hope to see interesting things tomorrow and I also hope for more frequent balance patches overall @Irenio CalmonHuang.2048. Thanks a lot for your continued efforts and for polishing the game I love.

[Dreggon.6598]

Will I (finally) be able to use Glint underwater on my herald/revenant?

[AllNightPlayer.1286]

Are you going to take a look at underwater skills again? Like making the the two remaining shouts (Receive the Light! and Guard!—especially Guard!) available, since every shout should be useable underwater.

And what about underwater wells for chronomancers? Necromancers’ wells weren’t available at the begining, but became useable underwater with a sneaky update. So, why not for mesmers, too?

There were numerous threads and a consolidated thread in the thief sub forum. Suggestions were wide ranging but generally addressed bugs/clunky gameplay.

It’s a bit much to summarize briefly but you can check out the consolidated thread if you’re curious.

Obviously, we aren’t sure what Anet will be taking from the feedback so ... fingers crossed.

Should I get my hopes up for ranger MH dagger or no? (pvp)

[Elrey.5472]

I hope CondiTempest damage gets increased, right now it caps at 25k, while weaver gets to 40 :(

[LazySummer.2568]

Will this patch be meant for PvE, PvP, or both? because the last underwater balance patch seems to be geared towards PvE and there were some, debatable i'd say, changes that could've been split but weren't (druid's healing nerf, ele's tempest defense damage nerf, for example)

[Zaraki.5784]

I hope it also comes with bug fixes, like the Kourna Portal Scroll and the Plaguedoctor stat not being selectable on legendary trinkets.
