Which class has seen the most nerfs?


Recommended Posts

Not the best poll question,

The number/amount of nerfs that have happened, (and been needed,) on professions vary widely.

Mesmer arguably has taken the most nerfs, yet, always busted. Some professions have taken few nerfs but have a ton of pathetic traitlines & kits, Revenant comes to mind.

I'd argue Necromancer, but it really depends on what you mean by nerfs.

If you mean nerf as in "any balance change that led to a decrease in strength" I wouldn't be able to tell you. Everyone's been on the chopping block pretty frequently over the course of GW2s life.If you mean nerf as in "any balance change that led to a drop from the meta" every class has had a kick from the meta except Mesmer and maybe Guard(as far as I know).if you mean nerf as in "which class has been most aggressively balanced" probably Thief., with Revenant right behind them.

It's called Anet's golden child, get it right :p

But to get into the topic of this poll. It just doesn't matter which profession is the most nerfed. It only matters which professions underperform and by how much. Even if a certain profession barely ever gets nerfed, it can still end up being bad. If it doesn't get buffed enough or it doesn't get elite specs that can keep up with the power creep, then it will underperform. On the other side of the coin, if a profession gets a rework or a new elite spec that makes it completely broken, it might get tons of nerfs and still continue to dominate. This poll is pretty pointless.

I assume it is about the quality and not the quantity of nerfs to the profession, because quantity is no measure for how much the profession has been balanced to the ground (or to the sky).For me personally, balance attempts and nerfs for the Ele profession are the most irrational - just look at the degrading damage of AoE skills like Meteor Shower.
